Turn 10 Studios, the makers of the acclaimed Xbox 360 racing franchise “Forza Motorsport”, and the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) have announced the upcoming start of the “Forza Motorsport ALMS Challenge”: a season-long online racing series in “Forza Motorsport 4” that brings racing fans closer than ever to the intensity and cutting edge technology found in the real 2013 ALMS season.
Turn 10 has revealed that the Nurburgring Nordschleife will be coming to Forza Motorsport a little sooner than expected, arriving in Update 5 in February.
Originally slated for its debut on the title in Spring 2024, it seems that the team has completed the track more quickly than anticipated.
Forza Motorsport update 3.0 is here!
Forza Motorsport's new update adds a wealth of new content, but none of its new championships are actually staying in the game.
And that's a big reason why I've shelved the game already. I'm doing this FOMO crap with them anymore.
I wonder if Turn 10's spent so many years building systems (rebooting Motorsport, upgrading their engine, assisting Playground on Horizon, retooling the upgraded engine to support an RPG like Fable) that they've forgotten how to build a fun gameplay loop around those systems.
To reference DF's Forza vs GT video, ignoring the aesthetics and visuals, there is a huge philosophical difference in how they approach the fundamentals of getting the player into a vehicle and onto a track, so big it's almost like Turn 10 just doesn't "get it" anymore.
I think this very cool for fans of Forza series. All races seem to coincide with ALMS events so that makes it even cooler. Wish you could use whatever car you want but its ok as noone will have an advantage. All comes down to skills!!
