The rumors are that they are going to announce a new streaming device soon; likely what they are talking about. Part of the expansion to the streaming platform will likely be support on devices like Xbox One to streaming Series X games.
Microsoft Confirms an Xbox Streaming Device Is in Development
Forget games consoles, the future of Xbox looks to be a dongle in the back of your TV.

A lot of the things I'm concerned about don't fall into what I'm guessing the majority of other players are concerned about.
I don't care anything about career, making liveries, tuning, or weather. I'll probably never drive in the rain.
The things I want to see in future teasers or info releases are a good selection of real world tracks. As I said in the other thread, Daytona, Le Mans, and the Nordschleife would be the most important. Fantasy tracks don't really interest me much. I have ran Maple Valley a little but I've never ran Rio or Prague.
A good accurate FFB model for wheels.
Accurate car grids and not a jumbled up mess of cars that don't belong together.
Being able to start a race in whatever starting position I choose.
And probably most important is AI behavior. It was so frustrating to have the AI be in the same place every time and if you were in their line trying to out brake them, they were running into you because they just didn't know you were there.

Shame that the graphics style is still leaning on cartoony. Despite being crossgen GT7 sill has much more realistic lighting and color palette. Car models also nowhere close to GT, but at least most cars from FM7 should carry over since they didn't bother remaking them.

I'm surprised to see the Ginetta LMP1 in there, given how it never made it into PCARS despite their close relationship and how the actual program was canned mid-season I kind of figure it would be forgotten about.
I'll probably never play Forza 8 since buying a console/xbox live for just one game is not great value for money but hopefully the series rediscovers it's identity, I really enjoyed the first 4 but the series seemed to lose it's way afterewards.

I see Kyalami is named in the news article, did anyone catch footage of that in the trailer?

Looks very impressive so far, hopefully the car sounds aren't overly "crispy" as they were in Forza Motorsport 7, Forza Horizon 3 had the sounds just right and even though they fixed alot of the sounds in FM7, the compression always bothered me abit.

Considering how the last few Forza launches have gone (both series') it's hard to get too excited, but I have to admit it looks promising.
I also don't mind waiting until next year either as I will likely need to upgrade my PC to play it and don't plan on doing that until winter. Hopefully they release PC requirements soon so I can start figuring out what I need.

So I distinctly noticed the footage said "in-engine" and the ray tracing was described as "on track" not "during gameplay". Why wouldn't you just say the ray tracing is during gameplay, if it is during gameplay? On track could easily mean just in replays like GT7. The terminology they very carefully chose just feels like obfuscation, typical turn 10.
I'm not sure why they highlighted the damage in this trailer. It's the same damage protocol it always has been, with carbon fiber crinkling like sheetmetal.
The presentation has a cartoony look.
All in all, considering the massive hype train this game has been building up, I'm not impressed. If the physics engine is fantastic, that's good, but we haven't seen it yet.

8 points? 8 points per tire or car? PC sims usually have 3 points of calculation. Inner, middle and outer. That's how they calculate temps and pressure. ACC has one of the most complex tire models and they went with a 5 point tire model. Where does it say this 8 point model at? 8 points per car, maybe. If you're not even calculating temps and pressure in game I can't see the advantage of going past a 1 point tire model.

I think is per tyre based on what they say a year ago in May 2021 Forza Monthly I think. Found its quote in 2021 year in review article:

Totally agree, after 5 years (almost 6 by the time this hits the real world) I expected more, and with Greenwald still attached let's hope for AI that aren't complete imbeciles, FOV adjustment, physics that have some resemblance to reality and the abolition of drivertards or the game will be sunk.

It does look very nice. This is a demonstration of why last gen needs to be left behind. Forza can do what it's doing because it has been developed solely for next gen and is leaving last gen alone.

Wonder if the cars are made from scratch like it was in gt sport, of that would be the case the car count would drop, but i would not mind anyway, i rather have more detailed car models and where the cars feel more alive, more cars can just be added in dlc and keep building from there, some of forza car models are pretty outdated, some are even 360 ports, so i think its good time to work that over

Judging a video with 5 meters away from the cars. Yea you really seem to have some sort of superpowers lol 🙄
Something like this close would be needed to maybe tell the difference in details/polygon count:
Everything else is just talking nonsens...

Never mind Forza, I want to see what Fable looks like using this engine.

Agree, it has that very crispy sharp CGI look

I just hope that this will be the game that fully introduces Nitro. Gran Turismo had it since 2004 and yet not one of the 13 Forza titles have it aside from one or two Expansion Packs & a Prototype Version.
