I mean, the corkscrew is an iconic and dynamic part of Mazda/WeatherTech Laguna Seca Raceway. Perfect part of the track for recording footage.
This…, i think they showed nothing from the game if in the other hand it´s actually game engine looked artificial and fake has hell XD car movements looked so strange.
I think was just a small trailer to tells us that they are working and in early development witch means game still far away from release, just look at Halo example.., great looking in the intro but when we saw gameplay omg.., so no Forza gameplay there are nothing to compare and Gt7 in this department seems to be far ahead.

I don't see the problem because Forza is the only one doing this stuff, every other racing sim is dead serious, you look at PCars, Assetto, Raceroom, iRacing, Automobilista and whatever else and they have little to distinguish themselves from each other aside from physics. In the process of chasing simulation they lose any sense of personality. Well aside from PCars I guess, they pride themselves on the amount of bugs and having bad controller implementation. Other than that they all look more or less the same to the point where I have trouble telling them apart without labels.Well the biggest difference I see between the GT and FM titles are that GT actually focuses solely on racing/cars whilst FM is falling in over inclusiveness muck which more and more racing games are filled with. I do understand the "different strokes for different folks" proverb, but I don't support the over inclusiveness in every racing game. Diversity being buzzword of Xbox and MS it doesn't surprise me. I did want to give a shot to Forza Motorsport 7, but I can't take seriously racing game where you race in clown mask, Grinch suit or any other childish stuff. At best I can see it as sim-cade that tries to please everyone for sake of $$$ which is perfectly ok. Best thing, hovewer, is that there are still games that accomplish to reach wider audience without being over inclusive.
I liked F1 2013 but addition of some RPG career where you manage whole team in F1 2020 just takes away purist nature of racing for sake of racing. Some people just wanna race and not live "virtual life" in racing games. I just hope they won't add stuff like in FIFA story mode. Adding family issues in game as story mode and ruining football for what it is is true disaster. It has to be noted as well that PD is Japanese company and Turn10 US company. US games sadly focus too much on politcization of games whilst many people go to games exactly to avoid that.
All in all it's truly a blessing that not all racing games are same and that some really remain true to their origins, that is, motorport/racing itself.
Cheers
P.S. I always loved how PD never implemented voice actors in games and used gender neutral names (abbreviated first names).

Hmm I didn't even know they still were lacking fuel/tire wear or weather. But yeah I basically get that they could do both, I'm just worried about "executives" with "vision" trying to "refresh" the brand without the community in mind. I'm hoping this teaser was essentially a glorified tech demo.

It kinda feels like the console itself. I thought many people would predict that the Xbox 360 successor will be Xbox 720, but intstead it's named Xbox ONE. Same case for Forza Motorsport.
Ironic that, it's turned around. PD is the one notorious for being a slowpoke (they probably still is for GT7), and if anything, they'll be the rushed ones to catch up to others, while Turn10, with much bigger number of employee, can work in a much faster pace, to the point that FM's main games amount have overtaken GT's. Now here, Turn10 is the slower one where the trailer is rushed to respond to GT7 and they're the incomplete ones?!

Does anyone else ever think that Turn 10 don't see the wood for the trees with all this stuff? I play a lot of Forza Horizon 4 which of course does not have ray-tracing and I never think to myself 'pfft, if only this game had more realistic reflections and lighting, THEN it would be great'. It's already great. It already looks realistic enough in terms of lighting and reflections. The cars reflect the surroundings. I know it's not truly realistic, it's an illusion or approximation or whatever, but it doesn't matter, it's good enough. You do not notice these things whatsoever while playing, or even particularly when you look closely either. Unless you REALLY want to nit-pick, and do most gamers really think FH4's lighting and reflections are actually a problem?
So while Turn 10 focus on these relatively minor and unimportant issues, are they going to address the multitude of failings and shortcomings in the actual GAME itself? Do these people know much about real cars and actual racing? Will the new game still have the stupid flapping mirrors, wipers and spoilers which look like they are about to shake themselves loose, while you drive at a pedestrian pace down a billiard-table smooth road? Will the new game have decent replays, which even in FM7 and FH4 are still very poor compared to even the likes of Gran Turismo 4 on the ancient PS2? Will it show time intervals between players like even the more casual FH4 does, or will it still use distance?
These devs promised the Earth before FM7 and largely failed to deliver any of it. They rely on gimmicks like parroting the resolution or framerate. Now they're relying on gimmicks like a wheel may have slightly better reflections. Who cares. Not many people care about that stuff.

I don't. I always felt like he talked to us like we were children.
Everything was always catchphrases like "gamers into car enthusiasts and car enthusiasts into gamers" and that kinda useless painfully obvious PR speak, that didn't make him seem genuine. I've also never seen him address a "tough" question, making it seem like he (and by extension, T10) wouldn't acknowledge any issue or difficult subject and instead just throw more "60 frames, Forzavista, 700 cars" stats at us instead.

Was a boring trailer, not hyped for this one. It showed a clip of the Apollo going down the corkscrew, then later we saw an Apollo race down the corkscrew. I’m pretty sure further on we had a glimpse of the Apollo...tumble down the corkscrew. But credit where it’s due, Laguna Seca looks to have had a revamp...although maybe just on the corkscrew, who knows
Possible indication of new laser scanning? If so, maybe less content than FM7?

Forza has technically had fuel and tyre wear since FM2 at least. But it has NEVER been used to any meaningful degree. No races in either career or MP are long enough to where it becomes a factor, so you essentially never experience it. Because different tyre compounds aren’t available, strategy plays no part.
They tried to implement changing time and weather in FM7, but it was the laziest attempt I’ve ever seen. The ‘‘weather’’ could only be experinced by selecting a ‘chance of rain’ option in the race setup, which would load up a special ‘wet’ version of the circuit. You’d already be on rain tyres, and the weather randomly cycled between raining and cloudy. Same thing with night races, you’d essentially click whether you wanted the race to be day or night. If you picked night, it would start the race at twilight and would progress to full dark (or start in the dark and progress to dawn). No actual full 24h cycle, just the same 6h cycle over and over. Not truly dynamic in either case. I don’t know why T10 has dragged their feet on that stuff for so long, GT6 could make it work on the PS3 badk in 2013.

If you select the "long race" option in FM7's career mode, fuel and tire wear become a factor, as some race exceed 45 minutes, and there's no way your tires are going to last that long. Ditto the endurance races, especially the 3h one around Sebring.

Shame we didn't actually get any actual gameplay, but the short trailer looked good at least to my eyes!

They are using photogrammetry for the environments this time, its the same tech they used for the Dubai track. Its one of the most accurate ways to recreate a environment as you basicly just copy the texture and geometry of the real thing. And the track it self is laserscanned ofcourse.

I loved T10's presentation of this, and what they can achieve with said tech for Forza Motorsport's real life tracks. The tracks will look more realistic than even GT7. The trailer being "in-engine" is probably an idea what T10 wants/plans to achieve for the new title, and I say go for it!Just wish they have shown more of the track because the trailer was the most beautiful of I've this gen. Hope we hear more about Forza Motorsport come Monday on Forza Monthly.

I also can't wait to see more, i want to see rain in the night on Fujikaido with ray traced puddles and windshield poured with water where you barely see anything with 3d audio where you hear every raindrop and engine noise spread around the moutainsOhhh!

If you read the article on the Forza Hub app, it confirms that this will be PC and Series X only. It also says it will be available on Game Pass.
Seeing as they're working on this at the same time as the next Horizon, plus some of the language they've been using, I have a suspicion that Motorsport and Horizon will be connected in some way.

Its in engine which means it could very well be prerendered.
This is not indicative of gameplay.

Bear in mind that said high quality assets are too large to be used in most games, so much time is spent by studios (T10 mentions outsourcing as the next bullet point), downgrading the geometry and textures to fit real time rendering pipeline.

I'm just hoping that they wind up calling this FM8. Imagine having three Forza 1s! Motorsport 1, Horizon 1, and another Motorsport 1. Getting Xbox One flashbacks here.
