Very nice update. Definitely looking forward to seeing the changes tomorrow. One of my gripes has been the corner cutting. I was doing a Ghost Leagues and one player, lap after lap, blatantly cut Turn 3 of the Hockenheim Full/National ribbons (Turn 3 being the kink that leads onto the long, fast left hander). While that player didn’t necessarily gain position doing so, it still annoyed me to the point I initiated a vote to have him kicked. Hopefully, these Regulations I hear about come sooner rather than later.
The Aston is a great addition to the Group C roster, and would love to see more from the Group C days (including the lone Lamborghini GrCountach-based Group C racer). Heck, I would love to see the modern AMR-One from 2011 make its return as competition for the early 2010s LMP1 cars.
One of my main things about playing Motorsport versus Horizon is the loading for each Track in Motorsport. Somebody mentioned before about a hybrid Motorsport-Horizon. I think this would be noce, something to do while waiting for a track to load. I sit and wait 20 minutes on the rewards screens where it says “Track Loading” at the top, but it’s actually not doing anything. So I end up still having to wait for the track to load at the next screens. This applies to Single Player; MP actually does load the track information during the reward screens as you come to the next lobby with the track loaded and just waiting for the intermission. As for the hybrid FM/Horizon, it would be cool to drive from Hockenheim to Nurburgring, or from Laguna Seca to Sonoma.
beyond stoked you guys are spotlighting changes and improvements for drifters. We are the some of the most passionate out there without a doubt. And maybe, just maybe, we could see some more toyota action too
Thanks Triton. I have 700+ cars all set up with homologation setups, was beginning to worry I needed to clear out all but a handful of tunes so I can still set times somewhere.
With the time attack rivals all being class based, this was a genuine concern.
I’m very excited about this update, it seems to address most of the issues I see with the game.
However, I have a question about ghosts. I understand that there will be a new ‘training ghost’ but I’m not sure what modes (Free Play, Time Attack, etc) it will be available in. Also, what is the logic in terms of which player and which lap will it replay?
The training ghost is available in Rivals. Just like when you go to a leaderboard time and select a new rival you can now select the time you want to train against. Whoever you select will be the player and lap it will replay over and over.
Triton, I’m glad to hear that someone from the Forza team is here to answer our questions. Congratulations for the initiative!
What would be the possibility of eventually being able to select two or three ghost rivals for training. Or select competitors on the leaderboard for solo racing.
Additionally, the possibility for a new Rival’s ghost to be loaded mid-session after you beat your current target would be nice.
That was one of the things i liked about the Forza Motorsport 4 system as I’d keep pushing myself to chase faster ghosts without quitting out and going through the whole setup process again.
Ok, thanks, so it sound like there will be different logic for the ghosts in Free Play and the new Time Attack mode - do you happen to know how they will work? (The current ghost in Free Play is pretty confusing and not very useful - it just replays your first lap, even if you beat it, then your best lap in division when you beat the old best lap in division. )
Thanks for taking the time to respond to us impatient ones who cant wait until tomorrow to figure it all out…!
The game will be better with this update, for sure, thank you developers!
But we need tools to fight against ramming in the game. Races are plenty of rammers that makes the game a sour experience. Currently, ramming has no penalties and can be done without consequences. Multiplayer experience is skipped just by this reason.
Hope some update will help with that.
Best Regards.
Please Triton, please tell us that the system you are working on will not only include penalties, but will also include ghosting for the trolls who couldn’t care less about getting time penalties. Please.
Now the biggest question or wait and see moment…will this huge update screw up other things? Lol can’t help but wonder sometimes with T10. Hoping and praying for no new issues or bugs to pop up.
