Forza Motorsport General Discussion Thread

[AutumnalGlow]

Hoping custom races allow us to use our own cars. The ability to use any car is good, but it has me worried that they'll pick that instead of garage cars. Unlikely maybe, but still a concern as I hope to spend the majority of my time in custom races after the career mode is finished.

Can you link to any SUV racing footage on YouTube or similar, yet to witness any?

I dont know if count but, Here are some Teslas racing in the world famous Tsukuba Circuit

 

[MalibuClub]

Can you change the environment, like in GT7 or is it always pitch black? I didn't play FM7 much.

I hope so. In FM7 you couldn't.

Hello from Kiribati!

What a coincidence that I can play Forza Motorsport in less than 24 hours Kappa

 

[meganinja]

I had asked few days ago but i guess it flew under radar so I will ask again:

Does someone knows how many championships the game will have at launch?
Also how it does compare with older FMs?

 

[turk1993]

Why is that New Zeeland trick not working for me? What am i doing wrong.

I guess no one knows the answers until the game launches.

i know that 😅 but my time counter didn't go down. It stays at 1day and 6h which is not what the New Zeeland counter would say.

I mean lot of the game has leaked, i am suprised nobody had not made a video or talked about it

1.1GB day one patch is downloading now on the Xbox PC App.

Yeah, but:

1.1GB day one patch is downloading now on the Xbox PC App.

Might not really mean much.

Have you rebooted? Might be necessary.

 

[ClutchAndersn]

Pre-load is now!

Is it possible to take a trip to NZ for the Steam release?

 

[skazz]

The patch was 1.1GB on my PC, 1.26GB on my Series X.
Probably the day one update, given that it is coming to both simultaneously.

 

[deththrasher]

pre-load live on steam woo

Steam releases everywhere at the same time, midnight EST (east coast in the USA).

 

[SU_Tempest]

Steam Preload is finally here for me. Time to... download a 119 GB game... on a 2 MB/second connection... ... because fiber optic isn't here yet... yaaay...

Ahh that makes sense, TY!


Currently redownloading FM7 just to check what vinyl groups and liveries I can bring over...

Sam for me, I just assume it's normal, will find out tomorrow I guess

Ya, same here. Way to cut it close. WTF?
18 hours to download this huge dingleberry.
edit: OK, it shot down to 15 hours but still. That's full bandwidth so now pornhub won't load anything. Ridiculous.

 

[PJTierney]

”AM“ for Astin Martin and “P.” for Porsche? I guess there wasn’t enough room in the car column to write it in full?

Is QA yet again an afterthought? (After the horrendous menu structure of The Crew MF)

It’s intentional.

Many areas of Forza have a 16 character limit, so that exceedingly long names like (F1 example) Aston Martin #14 Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team AMR23 don’t cause boundary issues.

Also, UIs are technically responsive designs in many areas. If you run a monitor that’s narrower the layout has to adapt, likewise if somebody enables big text in accessibility settings.

I can download those things in a few seconds, albeit with a splash.

Isn't the whole point of games like this to race stuff you probably wouldn't be able to in real life? I mean, I haven't exactly seen anyone genuinely racing hypercars like the Chiron or Jesko either but I don't see anyone arguing that they have no place in these types of games.

Too much information, but also I respect the honesty

You mean like this?



Edit: They should really remove their various track day hypercars into an SRO GT1 class in my opinion. They have models for the 935, Huayra R, Essenza (in game already), FXX K (in game already).
