This page should stay up to date with the cars and tracks list for the game https://forza.fandom.com/wiki/Forza_Motorsport_(20...

I hope this has some legs with all their marketing hung as I’d like a graphics upgrade from assetto corsa competizione

[Daston]

Looking forward to this, GT7 got boring very quickly and although it's a great experience for lap times, the actual racing part of it is poor.

I hope that FM gets Track IR or Tobii added.

This game looks bloody awful from the preview footage. Low res car models from the Xbox 360 era are being used still, and graphically the game just looks pretty bland. There’s uproar on social media and the Forza Forums. It may play well and have loads of cars and tracks, but it’s not why we have these high end consoles/PC’s!

Got any links to the forums etc? The videos ive seen of it look pretty high end

It provides citation for its claims, or it gets the hose again...

Probably a troll butt hurt they purchased a PS5 and are stuck with GT7 - can't blame them to be fair, Kaz hasn't been kind to the fandom...

Only drawback I can see for me with FM so far is no Nordschleife at release, which given it's been confirmed for a later date and as an updated/current model of the circuit i'm not too upset about. Cars look great, FM5-onwards sounded better than GT7 does in terms of engine/tyre noise so looking forward to seeing where Forza have moved the game on to now.

Look at the latest footage they’ve put out on YouTube and Twitter. There’s a video at Ohio with an S200 and another one with a Mitsubishi Lancer.

I have got both consoles, I do enjoy GT7 despite it’s flaws. I was looking forward to this.. the developers are known to use ancient renders/inaccurate models though. There’s also a long running thread on the Forza forums.

I've said before but I'm not that fussed about having the ultimate photo realistic graphics. As long as the physics and frame rate are good and consistent I'll be fine.

These are both things that have really pushed Forza ahead of GT over the last decade so I have no reason to think this'll be different.

Yeah I've seen the footage you're talking about and whilst it is marked as pre-release, it looks worse than the footage they've shown before for some reason. Compression might be an issue but they're missing literally massive features like reflections ffs. No idea why they thought this would be a good idea.

And yeah, I mentioned this a few comments back but I suspected they'd just re-use the old models which there really is no excuse for. It's not hard to find an Evo 5 for example is it.

This vid covers quite a lot of the issues in one place:



I know they're saying it'll be 4k at 60fps but if it's going to look like this, no thanks. Fingers crossed it's just an issue with the footage shown and not what the game will look like.

I hope you are right. No one is looking at that footage and thinking it justifies their £450 games console.

[RB Will]

That does seem a bit disappointing. I too really wish they would bin off the bloody Forza wing

Christ that chap's hard work to watch, interesting drawbacks with the footage shown so far though given it's nearly a month until their launch date!

Yeah I know he's a lot but the content of the video was pretty useful

Although he's firmly in the "Youtuber" camp he does own some pretty decent cars himself. R34 GTR and LC500 I think at the moment along with building a replica M3 GTR from Need for Speed. I stopped watching his content a long time ago now but he's done really well from it so fair play.

Yeah I saw the amount of subscribers, showing my age by not having a clue who the bloke is! Glad to hear it sounds like he's spending his money wisely

Please be good please be good

Have just picked up a 360 and FM3 for old time’s sake. Boy do I miss being a teenager

[RB Will]

Should be able to start getting some decent reviews next week. SuperGT has a copy and is allowed to release content from the end of next week.

[DaveE87]

It will be interesting to see how Steve (SuperGT) gets on playing it with his McLaren wheel. I couldn't gel with it on Forza 7 as I found it too difficult to catch any oversteer. I've not had the same issue on ACC for example, or several PC games.

[snoopy25]

Just booked of a couple of days from work to play this when it releases. It had better be good!
