Same. I also couldn’t help but wonder if the irony was lost on him while he was saying that everything they do must go through an enormous amount of testing before they can release it.
It’s not “news” because CE made it a point to repeatedly reiterate that there are “no promises” when or if anything mentioned in this livestream might ever make it into the game.
The only commitment he made was AI changes in Update 8.
I loved when Chris said his favourite track is Portimao but since nobody in here is voting for it, it’s probably not coming to Forza. I was like WHAT?!!? You’re the Creative Director bro!
Yas Marina probably didn’t have far to go in order to make it ready for the game.
Thats the thing, they dont need to “promise” anything. Just say we are working on A B and C and were looking into adding X Y and Z. Give something concrete theres no reason not to, at this point the words coming out of his mouth are certainly not taken as gospel, that trust is already been lost.
If they have things that are supposed to be launching in the next 6 months then tell people what those things are. The non committal answers are equal to no answer at all, theres just as much chance that they arent working on any of those things.
Who voted for eagle rock or yas marina or homestead the answer is nobody. Voting for things means almost less than nothing, its been proven time and time again especially for tracks. Its their way of acting like the player base has a voice, has a say in the direction the game may take, we dont. The tracks coming to this game have been chosen already, their release window has likely been set.
He didnt even commit to that lol, but most likely will be.
Really, responses like this are why they are probaby the worst communicating devs. These non commital answers is what they have always done, youd think with the way this game launched theyd learn maybe this is not the right approach.
This mess is of their own doing not ours, this situation is far from blaming the playerbase. Im happy you seem to have faith in the only direction they can go at this point. They have to try and salvage the game, its their only game, its their only purpose.
I hope your patience is rewarded with more than another stream like this 3 months from now talking about the same handful of things still being looked at or worked on.
Nearly 2 hours of worthless word salad. Micorosft probably forgot that Turn10 even exist so they might as well continue to show up at the office once in a while to cash their paychecks until HQ wakes up and nukes the studio from orbit.
IIRC it took close to 1 year after Halo Infinite’s launch for Bonnie Ross to be kicked out of 343i…so Turn10 probably still has a few months left before things hit the fan.
we can only hope they listen to community feedback and then the notion that they don’t listen to feedback won’t be true anymore please keep sharing the streams in the forums going forward @T10ManteoMax
I’ve raced (in games) on Rockingham, Bristol, (in other games) and Homestead and Daytona here. I’m a Circle track fan. They have a certain attraction for a certain breed of racer. But I think I hate eagle rick even more than I hate VIR. It’s not that there’s anything challenging about eagle rock, there’s no challenge to it at all. But it lacks any kind of soul or spirit. There’s no feeling at that track. And as far the listening goes, I’ll believe that when I see Bathurst or Fujimi as the next track. And for more listening examples, let’s see when they start addressing that forza aero elephant in the kitchen. Huh? Did they mention that anywhere in the little chit-chat? So tell me, do they listen?
AI supposed to have been updated a few times since the release of the game. And it has gotten progressively worse. It is now far worse than the FM7 AI. If the AI get a “major” update in update 8 so much so that they don’t even have the workforce to make a track available. Just makes me wonder, had bad can the AI actually get before the game becomes completely unplayable?
I’d bet my life that they got paid to Have Yas in the game. More sports washing from the Emirates. It’s the only logical explanation
If the owners of Yas Marina’s IP are paying to have the track represented in video games, why isn’t the track in iRacing, Automobilsta 2, GranTurismo 7, RaceRoom, Rennsport and, Rfactor 2?
Hey, what did you ask? Trying to find anything on single player on this stream but don’t have 2hrs to listen to it all
Who knows. Perhaps it was a license they didn’t have to pay for instead. They’re basically trying to take over world sport using oil money. The fact the football world
Cup was in Qatar in the middle of winter says a lot. Then you have the golf situation and trying to take over European football. Then there’s Saudis who are paying footballers 20x their market value. Money is not important to them is my point, especially when it comes
To sport.
I’m not sure I fully understand your point?
I see what happened… No point in trying to fix the comment I actually replied to… (gotta love when the reply cites the wrong post).
Edit.
Ah… I was really off on that one, but it still (kind of) applies. Ultimately the thing that determines if a track makes it to the game is how long it takes to complete it. Brands Hatch made it to the finish line ahead of a more requested track.
My Yas post was aimed at someone elses reply. Unsure why I replied to you. Probably pre-coffee shinanigans, or something. Apologies.
Alot of games need more time to cook. I’m getting annoyed about constantly receiving unfinished products. This game was nowhere near finished and because i love the franchise so much I played through it.
This is why I’m hesitant to outright buy games anymore. To me there in lies the value of gamepass. Play the games as much as I want without feeling completely robbed of a COMPLETE game experience. Everything promised before the release hasn’t been delivered. I had extremely high hopes about the skill and safety ratings but even that hasn’t been properly implemented.
Maybe, that is part of the problem. Despite games being unfinished, they get a lot of attention through gamepass. So the concept (to release games like this) kind of works.
