Any word on what will be discussed next week?

Probably Free Play mode, it’s the last thing on the list of topics to discuss published in June:
Unless they have also something important under the “& more!” point

I would love to see something like a roadmap, or what to expect to be added in the first months after release.

Agreed, I think roadmap is essential for this game. I can’t shake the feeling it’s launching in some sort of early access…

Well, I didn’t have that feeling with Forza Horizon 5. This game seemed feature- and content-complete from the get-go. Bugs is another matter though
In that case basically every contemporary game is an early access game, even as praised as Baldur’s Gate 3. But some of them feel more… early-accessy than the rest

I’ve played through Jedi Survivor twice on PS5 and the problem wasn’t so much the bugs as it was the performance of the game.
This whole “this game is not finished” is a recent phenomenon. What constitutes “finished”? The people who usually spout this nonsense online, are usually extremist fans of old games. But old games had a huge amount of bugs, glitches, etc., as well as poor balance and underbaked mechanics, are they not “finished” either?
Jedi Survivor can be considered unpolished. Unfinished? Not really. The last “unfinished” game I’ve played was NFS Undercover for PC. This was 15 years ago.
Mark my words, you’ll have lots of people saying FM is “unfinished” because T10 didn’t add everything they could at launch. Question is, why would they when the game will be supported over time?
Hakone!
Hakone has got to be featured as a proper reveal or something.
Track has been going under the radar for so long with all these other reveals and whatnot. I bet it is going to get a bigger reveal.

No. You’re plain wrong. Games are software and software is updated over time. Deal with it.

Frankly, that is the definition of unfinished.
The problem is that game publishers and developers have taken the idea of live-service and perverted it well beyond what it should be. There’s a clear distinction between adding to a game that can be reasonably considered complete and scrambling to finish putting together a product you’re already selling to customers. ArmA 2 and 3 are complete games that have been supported by expansion packs. Battlefield 2042 was a rushed-out and incomplete disaster that should have been delayed at least another year. Forza Motorsport 7 was a complete game; Forza Horizon 5 is not. And frankly, Forza Motorsport 2023 is in the same boat as Horizon 5. They have already copped to as much. This game should not be releasing as is, but Turn 10 has decided to ask someone to hold their beers so they can Send It, so here we go.

So glad we have a whole Forza Monthly to MotorSport! I love Horizon too but with this being the last month before the release I’m glad to see them split up. My fingers are crossed for the ability to choose AI opponent’s cars in Freeplay rather than relying on a convoluted system of restrictions & buckets. 
Looking forward to it!

If I was a betting man, I’d assume it’s safe to say that the core game is complete, but content (I.E. tracks and legacy features) are not. I think it will feel like a great, quality racing game that is just a little empty & needs a few more tracks, & a few more features make it the best in its class. I’m all here for that as opposed to waiting a year or two for 5 more tracks, 10 new features & 50 more cars.

Then they need to market it and price it accordingly, or they’re going to find themselves selling it at an even bigger loss than they planned because everyone’s going to wait until the game not only amasses enough content to be considered complete, but is also on sale as well.

So sell the game for cheaper and then make all of the added content cost money until it adds up to the price of a full game? Nooo thank you
a bethusda game bug free?
If that’s what it takes to make $70 an acceptable buy-in price, then so be it. But this is not, as presented, a $70 game. This is $50, at best, with a $20 brand name markup.
Some Info about painting would be nice. Or comeback of clubs.

More importantly, we can expect proper previews of Forza Motorsport on September 11. A few media outlets and YouTubers have got access to a preview build and will be able to share their impressions on Monday. Hopefully they are allowed to post gameplay and more information, which would be much better than the developers carefully drip-feeding information under the cover of tightly scripted marketing lines.

I hope the 11th is when the floodgates open! Felt like a injured snail crawl of news so far
