![]() ![]() I would like to see Turn 10 make Forza Motorsport a proper simulator. If it doesn’t feel correct there’s no point in having driver swaps, engine failing yellow flags or a competitive multiplayer system. We know the market dictates the next Motorsport has to run and work on a pad but dedicate 2 cores to physics, focus on the drive. I enjoy the great graphics in FM7 and think it looks fantastic but the Forza Motorsport brand needs to get serious.ĭecembers FFB update was a very good start and I hope an indicator that it’s slowly being pulled in the more sim less cade direction. Turn 10 must put that Zen 2 processor to good use and improve the physics/tire model. We’re on the brink of seeing an 8C/16T CPU and 16GB GDDR6 memory next gen consoles should the rumors prove true. The kids want helicopters, pretty skies and confetti while the adults sitting behind their Fanatecs want to feel realism.Ĭurrent gen hardware while very good is being pushed hard, there’s only so many cores to work with. I divulge that not to sound arrogant but to give some credo to this old dogs opinion on it all. I could write a book of opinions from every title and almost every piece of hardware released since the late 90’s. I’ve just turned 42 years old and with that enter my 20th year of sim racing. I do question the accuracy of FM7s physics at times particularly during slides. Well considering i play Assetto Corsa almost every day for 10 months now, i would say i do understand what a sim is.įorza’s physics simulation is actually very good, its just ruined by the steering, fix that and you take forza to the next level. The game as a whole is arcade,every aspect. Lol,thats the only thing? I truly dont think you understand what a sim is… its not just the steering in this game. The generic 180 degree steering wheel animation in cockpit view does not help either, so fake. You dont have to think or worry about how much steering input to put into the wheel, just move the stick all the way left or right and the car will have a baked-in amount of steering every time. The only real thing holding forza back from being a full sim is the steering, its too assisted for the analog stick to the point of being fake, and yes im talking about “simulation” steering with the controller which is what i use. Now it only needs to return to real sim standards in terms of handling. Just evaluated by the numbers, it has the very best options to start with. Time for a 180, dudes! Forza has all the nice assets, tracks and cars. and still it is very successful.įor the longest time, Forza was among my favourite racing franchises- for several reasons - but you can’t deny that the handling is getting more and more casual, even if you turn all settings to “simulation”. ANd GT is used by the GT Academy in order to train real race drivers. But i really like that you will be punished for using shortcuts and that it has a rating system for fair driving like iRacing does. I play it too, though I hate that it doesn’t have a real single player mode. The FIA approval of GT Sports alone is giving that game so much credibility that everybody and his dog wants to have it. Things like loot boxes don’t help it either, but that is a different story. Forza 7 is getting good ratings, but they don’t sell the game, because the sim communities tell the casuals to stay away from the game, since it is “too arcady” in their eyes. Real handling, real difficulty, real physics. So: why not gain real respect again with the core audience of sim racers by making Forza Motorsport 8 a real sim (again, like the very first one and probably FM2 as well) ? Meaning. Forza Motorsport has never had the big sales numbers it should have had, especially not with the recent iterations on Xbox One. So there is no need for another arcady or semi arcady Forza entry. See, Forza Horizon satisfies the arcade gamers, and as far as I can tell, it has been accepted by a lot of people as a fun derivative of the Forza franchise. Since Forza 7s initial sales are even lower than the ones from Forza 6, according to Eurogamer, while Gran Turismo Sport is once again selling like crazy (although it has way less content and not even a real single player mode), I wonder if it isn’t about the time for Turn 10 to change the strategy. ![]()
