Global Rallycross Champion, TV celebrity and Xbox and Forza Ambassador Tanner Foust visited the Microsoft campus recently to meet with the Forza Motorsport team at Turn 10 Studios to provide feedback on in-game physics and even try his hand as a game designer. The popular Rockstar Energy Drink online video series “Life in the Foust Lane” followed along and put together an episode covering the visit which just released today.
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.
