Yeah, all new bugs! But the basics will be cut and paste. Wait and see.
Iāve watched a few of their update videos for Motorsport. Chris Esaki has stated the physics will be redone and the tire model specifically has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. Visuals arenāt as important to me if the game is trying to be more sim like (which it seems like that is the route T10 is taking). That being said, the tracks were always a cut and paste, unless there was a major update to the track IRL. The fictional tracks blew chunks anyways.
Iām not holding my breath. Iāll wait for the forum reviews.
We should get more info on the 25th of this month. I need to see a gameplay trailer, minimum. I would love to be on the list for a review copy, but my channel isnāt big enoughā¦lol.
Iāll just play it on Game Pass. They have a pretty good track record for the actual driving to be alright, but for me the ever worsening aspects have been the career mode and the very UI itself. Looking forward to racing in the shiny new Maple Valley, though.
They say: physics and tires rebuilt. According to who? Those within the walls of Forza? I know what my idea of physics and tires would be different from previous forza games. Much to get into.
With FM8 or whatever it will be called, will they think outside of the box?
Will the physics and tires really be outside of the box? Rain tires that wonāt work on dry? Racing tires that wonāt work on wet? Real pits for tires?
Will they give us time trials instead of those set starts based on difficulty?
Will they give us realistic tuning instead of standard forza garbage tuning panels.
Will they give painters more tools to work with? More primitive vinyls, more fades, more flames, more, more, more?
Will they think outside of the forza box or will they cut and paste? And thatās what I mean by cut and paste.

Oh, and what about the AI? Will it be upgraded alongside the physics and tires? Or will it be cut and paste from days gone by?

Chris Esaki - Project lead. I said his nameā¦lol. As far as the tires (technically for both FM and FH) They were only using a single point of reference when it came to heat in the tires, tire pressure, contact to the road and grip (1 data point per tire). They said in one of the updates that they have updated it to multiple points of information per tire (how many Iām unsure). That is far more sim like in itās data gathering, too much camber can overheat the inside of the tire, like it should be. I would assume tuning would have to be updated as well to match the data being run through and pulled from the physics.
Outside of that, AI hasnāt been mentioned and they have been keeping other information āclose to the vestā. Thatās why I want a gameplay trailer, so I can see if there are other things being updated/changed. Qualifying, pit stops, tuning, not being able to break the physics like in previous motorsport games, etc.
Like I said, Iāll wait for the forum reviews from the burned users who thought they were getting something different.
Collecting multiple data points for tire contact is one thing. But if they donāt change tire friction coefficients for tire types, eg; rain, dry, slicks, treaded, and just give us the standard forza tire selection panel then theyāve just done cut and paste.
I sure hope they have done more out of the (forza) box thinking.
No need to get sour at me, Iām just a messengerā¦lol. Iāve passed along all I know, we all make our own decisions.

Not sour at you! Sorry if I sounded that way. Just have no hope in the new Motorsport being more than an extension of Forza 7 with a new motor.

Fast Nā Furious X trailer is apparently due February 10th, according to several Twitter posters. Seems awfully close to a certain gameās second expansion release date.
Wouldnāt mind this if they combined it with that rumoured āAvalanche cityā map expansion.
Canāt come soon enoughā¦.need more rivals.

Avalanche City was just a fan-made creation dating back to a few months after launch, so I wouldnāt bet any money on this in particular.
Forza Horizon has always been at its best if all you do is cruise around. For that, the game is still very good, although not without its issues. If you want anything else from it, though, itās pretty meh. The car collecting aspect is miserable, the rewards are bad, the economy is inflated by people who hoard cars and resell them at hefty premiums.

Its a bit ironic that you call the car collecting miserable and then call the economy inflated because people collect cars.
The car collecting is bad because the economy is nonexistent. Wheelspins nullifies any value individual cars have, among other things. Iām surprised they havent monetized the spins yet. Iāve been saying they should get rid of them since they were introduced but thats not likely to happen. then theyād actually have to balance rewards and race payouts.
