Today, at Developer_Direct, we showed off a fresh look at Forza Motorsport and how we’re making the game look real, sound real and feel real through our cars, tracks and audio that deliver a generational leap in fidelity, immersion and realism. Forza Motorsport is coming later this year to Xbox Series X|S, Windows, Steam and Cloud Gaming (Beta) and we’d like to tell you all about it. Buckle up.
Cars Are More Dynamic Than Ever
Forza Motorsport will feature over 500 real-world cars at launch for you to collect, race and customize using more than 800 unique upgrades and custom modifications. We’re also delivering the most modern race cars that we have ever featured on our roster.
In addition to the number of cars, we have also made improvements to how they look by using a spectrophotometer,which captures multiple data points of light behavior on a surface. With this new sourcing technique, our paint models have a more realistic light response across colors, metal flake and gloss levels. Cars now have context-aware damage and dirt buildup that is authentic and unique to each vehicle, gathering more in the low-pressure areas like recesses and alcoves.
We’re also creating a more fun and rewarding driving experience thanks to the advances we’ve made in our physics simulation, which are greater than Forza Motorsport 5, 6, and 7 combined.
Enhanced Tracks and New Locations
Forza Motorsport will start with 20 environments featuring multiple track layouts for players to master. In addition to fan favorites, you can race on five all-new-to-Motorsport locations including our first in South Africa – Kyalami. Because of the level of detail that went into the tracks through photogrammetry and laser scanned images, the team was able to depict 10 times more realistic detail including highly detailed vegetation and overgrowth. With all the cutting-edge visuals, including tens of thousands of fully animated 3D spectators, each player will feel immersed in the spectacle of racing.
Also new to Forza Motorsport, the game will have dynamic time of day with weather including track temperatures, wet driving surfaces and rubbering in for each track so that no two laps ever play the same. With all of the new features and detail in our track environments, Forza Motorsport will be a generationally new experience with a truly incredible level of authenticity.
More Immersive Sound Experience
We also partnered with Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos to create a more immersive audio composition for this next generation of Forza Motorsport. Each audio system was rebuilt to create an immersive soundscape and deliver a new level of sonic depth and authenticity to our players. For Forza Motorsport, this is a legacy spanning 20 years of ongoing development, and we continue to utilize the most up-to-date technology to enhance our car sounds at the highest fidelity possible. This includes improved tire and suspension audio, as well as exhausts and turbos that change as they’re modified to sound like their real-world counterparts. New features like our regional track announcer will allow players to hear experiences in the game like never before.
This is just a small peek inside for what is to come later this year. We are excited to share more details in the coming months on Forza Motorsport. For all the latest updates, check out the Forza blog.

I'd rather have Turn 10 take all the time they need, than to release an incomplete game. I really do want to play this game though, I can wait a little bit longer.

One word, underwhelmed.
Someone remind me why this game isn't called Forza motorsport 8, or even 7.5
Other than the tracks and shiny new graphics did anyone see anything new? First thing i noticed was the same crappy forza aero and roll cage. I thought this was built from the ground up and supposed to be a relaunch of the franchise, doesn't look like that to me.
I'll reserve final judgment until the game is out but i'm not at all impressed so far.

Hasn't every FM title released in October or November. I'm just so tired of current offerings on console. GT7 could not be anymore boring right now. FH5 is nothing but an arcade sandbox.
I've read FM4 was supposed to be released as backwards compatable. Here is to hoping that happens sometime soon along with some server availibility that could hold me over til November.

Also, one more thing: They're still usin' "Super Sport" for all Chevys? I thought this was history, but apparently it still goes on.

Q: When can I pre-order Forza Motorsport?
A: We will be sharing that information at a later date, stay tuned.

A: Forza Motorsport will feature 20 beautiful environments on day one, each rebuilt for this generation and featuring multiple track layouts.
Q: What tracks did we see during the presentation?
A: New to franchise tracks including Kyalami and the high-speed Grand Prix circuit Hakone, as well as returning fan-favorites such as Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Laguna Seca, Maple Valley, Silverstone, and Suzuka.
Q: Will I be able to choose the 24-hour day/night cycle and weather?
A: You will be able to choose time of day, or a time period, as well as weather.
Q: The HUD visible in the Forza Motorsport Developer_Direct video looks different to what you previously showed at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase? Is this HUD design final?
A: Everything you saw in our Forza Motorsport Developer_Direct video is work-in-progress.
Q: Will Forza Motorsport be available with Xbox Game Pass?
A: Yes, Forza Motorsport will be available with Xbox Game Pass.
Q: Does Forza Motorsport on Xbox Series X|S feature ray tracing?
A: Forza Motorsport features real time ray tracing on track.
Q: How does ray tracing work in Forza Motorsport?
A: Ray tracing bounces rays into the scene and does thousands of calculations to give us true reflections. Real-time calculations of this magnitude weren’t possible on previous generations.
Q: How does ray traced global illumination improve the visuals of Forza Motorsport?
A: When we apply ray tracing to global illumination, we are simulating how light accumulates color as it bounces from surface to surface, so a barrier next to a red rumble strip will be influenced by that color, creating a scene where all the pieces are connected.
Q: What does ray tracing mean for Forza Motorsport players?
A: Forza Motorsport players can look forward to the most beautiful and photorealistic visuals they’ve ever seen in a game, optimized to leverage the full power of the Xbox Series X|S consoles and PC hardware.
Q: What is convolution reverb and how does Forza Motorsport utilize it?
A: Convolution reverb is a hardware-accelerated technique enabled by Xbox Series X|S. It accurately reproduces how sounds interact within an environment to create a realistic and detailed soundscape. We also partnered with Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos to create a more immersive audio composition for Forza Motorsport.
Q: What is a spectrophotometer and how does it improve cars in Forza Motorsport?
A: We have sourced our car paints using a spectrophotometer to capture multiple data points of light behavior on a surface. This produces a paint model that has a much more realistic light response across colors, metal flake and gloss levels.
Q: How does Forza Motorsport perform on Xbox Series X|S?
A: Forza Motorsport runs at 4K 60 FPS on Xbox Series X; and on 1080p 60 FPS on Xbox Series S.
Q: What markets will the game be available in, and what are your localization plans?
A: Forza Motorsport will be available where Xbox games are currently sold. We will be announcing localization plans at a later date.

We'll see how it goes tomorrow, but judging from what I've seen, it's not too promising on the content side. Who wants to bet there will be a Playlist mechanic just like Horizon?Nothing wrong with that, considering you have a more in depth stream about FM tomorrow.
