So it is returning to its roots but is completely different. Lol.

They are going the GT Sport route. More emphasis on motorsport, much longer races, etc. I will laugh if drafting is still absent.

i thought drafting was in Motorsport/horizon, since it pops up on screen, no?
 
Regarding drafting for FM8:

"Other improvements being worked on for the next Forza Motorsport game include drafting, which is being developed by a new racing fundamentals team who are building its core AI and physics, and currently have a new tire model up and running internally with real wear and tear, along with a ton of new suspension changes. Esaki noted that whilst the current implementation of drafting in Forza Motorsport 7 is “fairly realistic,” since it’s based on several data sources, it doesn’t make enough of an impact during races. He said it needs to be “a hyper real type of scenario for there to be a lot of mix up in passing and racing.” For the next installment, Turn 10 is aiming to introduce a number of drafting settings so players can tweak and dial it to deliver the racing experience they desire. "

Draft settings is bad. It should be a constant & consistent aspect of the experience.
 
Could Sumo Studios return to handle the XO version where Turn 10 focuses on the SX? It’s. It like anyone cried foul when Sumo did with horizon 2.
 


If it has off road and it required to complete the campaign, this might end up being the first Forza I don't buy. If wanted off road games, I would buy them. If I wanted motorcycle games, I would buy them. I want Forza Motorsport to be about track racing.

I''d be more worried about 54 player races. Forza players are full on destruction Derby with just 15 to 20. Penalty systej or not, those races will be as far from what people actually wan't.

Well yeah, I agree with you. I don't race online anymore, so that wouldn't impact me.
 
4K @ 120fps AND Ray Tracing????

Mmmmmmmkay.

I'm going to call BS on that one.
Granted the Xbox Series X has the hardware CUs for ray tracing I think aiming for 120fps is an incredible waste of resources if this rumor is true.
LOL...most console gamers don't even have UHDTV's that can push those framerates....

Yeah, this whole 120FPS thing is dumb.

The campaign revamp sounds terrible aswell.

In fact most gamers still have older 1080p TVs. Unless that mode is for PC?
 
I don't see all those things at once. What is feasible is multiple graphics options that hit on one or two of those three at a time (assuming ray tracing means full ray tracing).
 
Man, I jumped into Forza 7 after a long time. I forgot how friggin fun this game can be. No assists, manual shifting. Lost several hours, lol.

I know some people dont like drivatars because they arent like pro drivers, but I love racing them. Had some intense races when they stop putting up with me forcing my way through. The game gorgeous as well.

Cant wait to see what they do for Forza 8

Some notes:

- Going back to the roots, a "love letter " to the community

- Lot of work on core foundations

- Pre-production started last year (August or after)

- Ability to produce content (tracks and cars) much quicker thanks to new tools. Allow them to respond on feedback quicker too.

- Raytracing, photogrammetry, new laser scanning... coming to Forza tech. Raytracing really exposed the issues with their technology.

- Figuring out how to make Forza a welcoming and safe space for newcomers (Gamepass)

- Visual from the teaser is what we can expect for the tracks in the future

Well, it seems like FM might focus on challenging games like Project Cars 2 and Assetto and leave Project Cars 3 and Gran Turismo 7 to be the simcades. Not sure if MS will lose too many casuals doing that though. I don't care personally, as I love the direction for the game.
