As annoying as these comments can be, they are not entirely unwarranted. Most of GT7‘s car list was outdated at release - The newest McLaren road car is 11 years old at this point. Newest Lamborghini supercar is 10 years old. Latest Audi road car is 9 years old. Most GT3 cars have had two replacements already. We also haven‘t had a new race track in a long time.Then we will have the usual...games dead,holding content back,etc.....crap comments.
The going rate seems to be around $3 million, Glickenhaus were the cheapest with these regulations at $2.5m and Porsche are offering their cars for $2.9m including works support (but I imagine the waiting list for those is longer than the teams running them). The Genesis will probably fit in with those values.
"Diverse" is perhaps the wrong word. GT7's update cars are perhaps more diverse in terms of what the cars actually are.
Whatever you want to call it, Forza gets cars like the M Hybrid V8 and M4 GT3, we get meme cars like the Hiace and Unimog. Most people will probably drive them once for the novelty and never touch them again afterwards.
I think the best cars will be saved for gt8 at this point.
Depends on what you expect from the game. If you're more into serious racing, I totally get your point. If you don't take it so seriously, well, I can assure you that I had a lot of fun with the HiAce lately🙂
Well imo the 720S and especially the P1 and Senna are very significant cars, not only for McLaren but automotive history in general. Like you said, at the end of the day it‘s a matter if taste but I just can‘t understand why PD omit such important road cars (same with the BMW M1, Mercedes 500E and many other cars) in favor of mom cars like the CX-30.
They don't.
Again, we don't know what "PD are picking", we only know what the end result of their choices, the brands' choices, the negotiations over licensing, the contracts, the access to model, and the modelling is.
Right, that and I would like them to bring more 2000 rally and road cars to the game. Getting PD to showcase and give us what we want is like pulling teeth. And I doubt that there will be another track coming anytime soon, unless they surprise us by the end of the year. I'd be shocked...
I agree that Forza has always had a wide range of different cars,for me personally i prefer the car list in Forza,but thats probably as far as it goes.Ive played FM23 since launch and apart from the fomo events each month the game doesnt have anything resembling a career mode,not on par with GT7 anyway.The driving experience is good but the rest of the game is pretty poor,I know you cant please everybody and the game is in a better shape than released but still a long way to go.
Well, I believe this is why the awesome livery editor can save the day. Maybe they cannot add the car with the logos of all of the original brands, especially some like tobacco and alcohol which are highly regulated in many countries. But, what if they add the blank version of the race car they did built and let their "users" do the trick. Would this fall into legal contention?
Closest to that happening barring Super Formulas was the 2016 R18 in GT Sport's first content update (to go along with the Porsche and Toyota) and both the 2021 BRZ GT300 and GR010 in GT7's first-year updates - both being one year old.
I heard there was a Trans-Am car in Forza '23 that had its main sponsor logo completely edited out. Though for current-year customer GT cars, using launch liveries (see R8 LMS Evo and 2020 AMG GT3) seems to be fair game with regards to branding.
That is also technically a concern, but separately. It's more that tobacco and alcohol advertising bump a game's rating up to 18 (or local "adult" equivalent).
This is what's happening with Forza Motorsport's new Porsches right now.
Ultimately... maybe not, but you'd be looking at complicating factors like sponsor-keyed liveries causing issues with presenting brand identities (with or without logos), licensors complaining that car [x] is associated with their brand and removing it doesn't eliminate licensing requirements, and so on - and the base car itself would still need to be licensed with the relevant brand or constructor (or both).
If PD stopped doing updates right now, I wouldn't lose a bit of sleep. I am happy with my $70 purchase.Then we will have the usual...games dead,holding content back,etc.....crap comments.
The Mazda CX-30 is a far more important road car than the McLaren P1 was. The P1 was great on the track, but on the road it was just barely tolerable (which is actually pretty good for a hypercar).
Well, they actually call it a driving simulator 🤷♂️
That's right but why this game is so focused on racing then?
The Real Driving Simulator.... LOL
Hypercars are not very good road cars. They are built to be fast around a track – on a road they are only good at grabbing attention. If you look at Top Gear's review one of their highlights of the P1 was that you can see out the back when you reverse. In pretty much every other way it was more or less rubbish on the road. Just a little less rubbish than other hypercars...
The CX-30 is a car that many players see on the road every day. That's a value that you don't get with the P1. But the point is that the CX-30 is a better road car than the P1, not about what would bring value to the game.
The McLaren P1 only has 2 seats whilst the Mazda CX30 has 5, that means that it can be enjoyed 2.5x the number of people at any given time, and that's not even mentioning the 430l luggage capacity in the boot, again over 3x the amount you get in the McLaren.
