Hi All,
This is the first time I have written on the forum and have felt the need to give feedback. As of most of you I have played all of the Forza franchise sine the original game and I am a massive fan.
Firstly, I feel Forza 7 is a massive step forward from 6 technically, and in terms of immersion and career story is also a step forward. The option to increase race length made me so happy.
Secondly, I know and understand the franchises ethos in recent games is that any body should be able to play a Forza title.
However, as some one who sits at the end of the scale of being passionate and loving the simulation “real as possible”, I feel that Forza 7 is missing some simple elements to make people who share this approach happy. Now I am not one of those people who will list a million things that I feel are wrong because I understand this is a game for all people, however below are my main 3 things that I feel would move this from a very good game to a great game with a long life for me;
-
Qualifying for a race to set grid (even if very simple mode). It is very hard to immerse yourself (especially on the harder AI settings) in a race series when your rivals are in pole position and you start mid pack with no reason for it. From an programming perspective have the choice should be possible.
-
Just because the game can have 20+ cars on track at a time does not mean you always have too, for the experience and quality of racing, especially on the street circuits. This really shows up any shortfalls in the AI and a unbelievable amount of contact between cars. This also increases the frustration of no means to qualifying ahead of them).
-
Free Practice in tune up mode - I know you do free practice when in a race, but when it was in the tune-up/upgrade section it really used to feel like you could get into it more, like tinkering in your own garage.
and that’s it, There are other small issues however I wanted to focus on the main three for me as feedback. I tested for Rockstar-North back in the day of GTA 4 and know how much feedback good and bad people receive.
KR,
Kisly
