I don’t get why anyone would post anything Xbox positive on this site. Ballsy though.

anast189d ago

You actually get it though, right?

GhostScholar189d ago

I’m not really a sim racing fan so I really don’t know. I love the forza horizon series though so I’m sure I’ll still get hate for saying that lol

anast188d ago (Edited 188d ago )

@ Ghost

I enjoy the console war stuff as entertainment, but, like what you like and make no excuses. Horizon is Xbox's strongest series at the same time I am shocked that Motorsport bombed this hard.

Flawlessmic189d ago

Ohhhh helllll noooo!!!

It's the worst part of the bloody game, actually ruins it a lot!!

IRetrouk189d ago

I need whoever wrote this to choose a new hobby.

CrimsonWing69189d ago

I’ve heard nothing but bad about this game from consumers. It’s weird how the media outlets seem to live the sh*t out of it. I think they maybe don’t have their fingers on the pulse with this one.

I think that's a good idea tbh give it a min.

Flawlessmic318d ago

Or they could do what gt does, content drops monthly with new cars, tracks, races, updates all for free and still working on the next gt at the same time.

Just saying.

XiNatsuDragnel318d ago

Rather new experiences and new IPs than always Forza imo.

Flawlessmic318d ago

Um did you read the article lol

There no gonna work on new games they are gonna make forza live service and just update the same game for who knows how long rather than giving a proper new version every couple of yrs.

KingKionic 317d ago

Turn10 have a plan to support Forza Motorsport for 10 years. Makes sense and them announcing
that the new career mode has service features built in directly to put tracks and cars in which line up with there vision.

Inverno317d ago

Yeah sure, so many devs keep promising these "service" like games that they can't commit to. Let's see how long they can hold peoples attention before they scrap this idea and just release another numbered game.

DaniMacYo317d ago

Live service LMAO. Like that’s ever been a great idea. Not a single game out there with a live service that’s lived up to it’s original promise. Live service is just an excuse for devs to drip feed content, scrap it after two years and say we are working on the next entry. But hey, it’s all free content so why you complaining lol.

moomoo319316d ago

Nah there are successful live service games that people enjoy. Deep rock galactic. FFIV. Rocket League. Etc.. its just when they take beloved single player games and convert them to nickle and dime bullshlaka fests.

I think forza horizon is now number one on the forza games. That franchise took the number one spot on racing on Microsoft machines. I think they should go next to forza rally, because there a huge hole on that area of racing. A full forza rally would be great. I think normal racing game already hit the ceiling.

Obscure_Observer683d ago

"A full forza rally would be great. I think normal racing game already hit the ceiling."

The new Forza Motorsport marks a return to it´s simulator roots. Turn 10 is not aiming at Gran Turismo anymore. They´re aiming at Assetto Corsa and other full SIM racing games.

darkrider683d ago

What simulator roots? It was always an arcade racer.

PitbullMonster683d ago

It took Turn10 8 games to implement tire and fuel management and now they are aiming for assetto corsa?

Knushwood Butt683d ago

'Rewind button' and 'simulator roots' don't sit well in the same sentence.

Flawlessmic683d ago (Edited 683d ago )

@obscure

Id ask u if u were joking but sadly i know ur being legit, what a shock.

Like pitbullmonster said it took 8 games just get tyre and fuel management in the game and somehow its leaped gt and when did gt fall behind the other sim racers lol

U could try to be a little more subtle when making fan boyish comments.

Guaranteed u havent even played the latest gt or assetto corso so likely have no idea what ur actually talking about.

Anyways back to the op, im glad motorsport is coming back exactly as is with a new physics system and revamped graphics, id take this all day over a rally game.

If they want to make a tally game then sure thatd be nice but not at the expense of motorsport

Forza rally could be awesome, not sure why you're disagrees

darkrider683d ago

I think so, but that's just an idea.

Obscure_Observer683d ago (Edited 683d ago )

"Forza rally could be awesome"

Personally, I don´t think Xbox needs another *Forza* title since Microsoft already has one of the best Rally IPs in the genre.

This game looks absolutely insane visually. I'm wondering what framerate it'll run at with RT enabled. Obviously, there will be 120hz and 60hz modes, but with what level of detail & RT is the question.

ABizzel1683d ago

I'd assume 60fps still, but the resolution is likely dynamic just like it was in Forza Horizon, with 1/2 or 1/4 resolution raytracing which is apparent from the trailer. Allegedly what was shown was a combination of PC max settings and Series X targets, so we'll have to wait and see.

120Hz mode would be cool, but I'm not sure they'll do it, and if so it'll likely only be Series X. So I'd say:

Series X: Native 4K@60fps basically Max Settings / Dynamic 4K@60fps w. Raytracing (1440p - 4K)
Series S: Native 1440p@60fps High Settings / Dynamic 1080p@60fps w. Raytracing (720p - 1080p)

--Onilink--683d ago

I really doubt they will do raytracing in 60fps mode, hopefully im wrong, but I just dont see it happening.
30fps RT mode
60fps performance mode without RT

Im not even sure there will be RT at all on Series S

ABizzel1683d ago (Edited 683d ago )

@Onilink

The Series X should be able to do it without question, it's more of a question of how far down will the resolution have to drop when Reflections are at their most. A map with Rain, Puddles, multiple cars, and sunshine is going to be the stress point for the game, and we'll see if fps take the hit, or resolutions takes a nose dive in such as section. The resolution of reflections look 1080p on Series X because there was a good amount of aliasing going on, so I see Dynamic 4K with drops down to 1440p higher or lower depending on the map, time of day, weather conditions, number of cars on screen, and number of reflections.

The Series S is the one I question, because 1080p reflections while having aliasing is okay and not as noticeable while playing, so if the Series S uses quarter resolution we're looking at 540p reflections or lower and that's going to be very noticeable. But they said RT for Series consoles, but the didn't specify to what degree, aka used cars salesmen tactics, so it could very well be RT is in the PC version, and SX version, but it's RT shadows on the SS.

It would be a HUGE fail if they drop fps to 30fps for Raytracing in the SX version, but the Series S might have no choice in order to keep a high enough resolution. We'll see in 2023 I guess.

Army_of_Darkness683d ago (Edited 683d ago )

As a PlayStation only gamer, I have to admit that this new Forza game looks a generation ahead of GT7! And the water effects! Omg! Insanely photo realistic! Well done turn 10, well done.

dandm7171682d ago

does anyone remembers Rallisport challenge 20 years ago - that game was some rally racing with great graphics too
