Forza Motorsport General Discussion Thread

[meganinja]

Whilst this is a "niche" vote as "casuals" wouldn't likely see this or vote on it, the results are not promising for FM...

That is like 400 people, a small spectrium of people, not just that, but Forza is second on that so isnt bad as it looks

That Said, TDU is getting a bigger hype from the same people that are trashing anything Forza right now, i honestly cant wait until discovery what Blood Bowl fans had discoveried with NACON few months ago....

 

[Nacho Libre]

Would a name change to Forza Horizon: Motorsports would help raise expectations?

 

[meganinja]

The thing I like about TDU is they're giving us blogposts every once in a while to describe some of the game's features. Unlike a certain other game hmmmm.

TDU has no event to talk about, meanwhile for Forza, I will draw for you since here on thread people seems always forgoting about this fact, maybe people will remember if i show this way...


be free to judge my art, i like feedback

 

[Beebo]

Ah yes. Wait until June for more of Chris talking about how they render their grass blades down to the atomic level? I'm trying to get hyped for the event but it's really difficult.

 

[UKMikey]

I'm quite interested to see what Motorfest brings to the table as well.

 

[Nacho Libre]

I was jesting some posts before, but I suddenly realize that Forza Horizon players as the first and main audience to target would make more sense than chasing hardcore sim racers...

Great, maybe they can start ghosting cars before they ram into you and cut their engines whenever they ram into walls on the turn?

A Horizon-style browser with more detailed stats would make it easier to compare tunes but I'm not sure how much destructible scenery and rallycross gates while some Latina chick screams ¡GOOOOO! into your ear in Spanglish at the start of the race will aid immersion.

It would be big Horizon 5 competitor. Like if Ubisoft told Ivory Tower made their own FHorizon, but with more interesting Crew-like progression.

TDU at best could be what Grid or PCars is to FM/GT. Not enough content and resources

Dude they litteraly teased that they will talk about Career mode, Multiplayer and all stuff people want to know in June showcase, they ended developer direct LITTERALY referencing it

i undestand the concerns but "forza bad" talk is getting pathetic at this point

I just hope they redo the physics from scratch, 1/2 Physics was the main reason i was not able to play the game for more than a single hour

I think there's a lot of scepticism involved now, which isn't helping them.

Don't forget they announced that the game is coming in Spring 2023, and have not met their own timetable, unless they're releasing the game within 19 days of the showcase.

In my job, if I don't meet a deadline and it's fault, the customer is ALWAYS unhappy, so you make sure you deal with that.

Personally, I feel they should address the delay right at the opening of the presentation. Deal with the bad news, get it out of the way and then fly high with the good stuff.

Alternatively, don't mention it and some people will bang them over the head about it. Some will do that anyway, but I feel like "dealing with it" would result in most people moving on and talking about what T10 want them to talk about.

There is a lot riding on June 11th, especially for a game that will be almost SIX years old by release. I wish them well though. in my book if the game is a success it means I usually have got a good game, "win win" situation.

I do agree i think they should had talked about the delay on Janurary Developer_Direct, in fact all they did was tease that was coming this year and a slight soft teasing that some people think it is for a June data (that would still count as spring but also early summer)

 

[MrCrynox]

Personally I don't care if it's slipped or its 6 years in-between releases, I have plenty of games to play and it's their prerogative to release and provide details when they see fit. All I know is I've liked every Motorsport release therefore I'm really looking forward to playing it, (at some point). But I do agree it would be nice to hear something, just like WRC23!!

 

[Arthur-A]

I hope they will get rid of that idiotic controller input filtering where it won't let you to turn steering wheel more if it detects understeer. This is the reazon FM7 is unplayable for me.

 

[UKMikey]

I hope they don't get rid of it on controller. It's the *reason FM7 is playable for me. It doesn't belong on wheel inputs though.

 

[meganinja]

So... someone said that Forza will come out in october

I still think summer will happen (beacuse of that twiter posts) but Forza after StarField doesnt sound bad if Starfield comes good

It's a rumour (hopefully not true).

The problem is that it would leave June to September completely empty for Xbox.

I still hope it is q3 of this year.

 

[Beebo]

Still also hoping for Q3 this year, let's hope that's nothing more than a rumor. Also, 27 days until the Xbox direct.

Only if it includes the emoji.

My guess is Starfield in July/August, Forza Motorsport in September/October, though with Forza they could take another year for all I care so long as the end result is worth the wait, and until I know what the game's philosophy is going to be like I have my doubts.

 

[nukleabomb]

My guess is Starfield in July/August

Starfield is officially confirmed for September 6th.

 

[PJTierney]

My guess is wrong.

 

[les_expos]

Nobody play video game or watch tv show in the summer. The game would release at october-november 2023.

Your release window is probably correct, your reason for it is a long way off the mark.

 

[meganinja]

FYI part of world is on winter on middle of year, and most part of planet dont see the chance of seasons so they play games on hot climate anyways

Dang...

Everyone is kinda meh beacuse of the RedFall thing + people trashing Forza for whatever reason they think on their minds

Redfall was one game. Looking historically, they have been releasing all high scoring games.

Doesn't Microsoft have $69bn burning a hole in their pocket to spend on smaller studios now they're not getting CoD?

They are spending $69bn on buying Activision/Blizzard.

 

[Nacho Libre]

The Redfall debacle speaks more about a fragmentation issue within Microsoft's owned publishers, which hopefully (IMO) will lead to tighter technical/quality control from the parent company. In other words, future 1st party games will have to comply with performance/compatibility/quality benchmarks as if they existed in a closed system, and in that respect, FM could be one of such benchmarks.

Redfall was also in development before they purchased Bethesda. It's great to not limit the creativity of studios but they definitely need to start having more control over game development.

Still crossing my fingers for better headlight rendering, some of the sealed beams in past games are rouuuugh. But I'll admit, that's an absolute nitpick and a half.

Its a nit pick that I've had for a long time, since I use photomode a lot. That and brake lights as well, they just look so jarring in photos for a ton of cars.

Its not nit picking, i had the same complaints for years. On some cars they look really good and on some cars its really bad especially on old cars. In FH5 they have improved alot,but if we compare it with GT7 it lacks really behind.
