The Great Forzadamus has prognosticated 2 expansions to FM:
Karting will be the first expansion Q4 2024
ref the number a fully laid out karting tracks currently in game
IMSA full series and current racecars to coincide with the start of the 2025 IMSA season but will be delayed to Q2 2025 as T10 has no hard deadlines and would miss it anyway
this is an old unfulfilled agreement from FM7 partnering with IMSA that never materialized
this is when we will finally get back long beach and road atlanta and a new track, canadian tire motorsports park
The Great Forzadamus has spoken
fine print ( all statements are subject to change without reason or responsibility. ymmv)
See thatās what I call Severe Forzatism, we simply CANāT HELP but hope for great things for this franchise!!! To my knowledge nobody is working on a cure!
Dreams were made to be smashed. And thatās the plan of T10. Not to put out a top level game but to smash our dreams.
When we dream and talk about what we want in the game they listen. And when we hit on what they have planned for the game they scrap those plans and put something else in. Because they donāt want us to be right.
So we need to start using reverse psychology in our dreams and desires for the game. Start dreaming of crap for the game. Dumb things like taking the feature races out after each update. We donāt want them. No single player career, we donāt want it! Please donāt change the AI, itās perfect as it is, as is the race rules. Perfect! Wouldnāt change a thing. Please donāt add more tracks to the multi player rotation.
This is what we need to start doing to get the things in the game (shush keep this quiet)ā¦ they might actually be listening.
I completely agree with you, why 500+ cars, I only need 2 and a single track. For me that would make the game what Iāve been waiting for 6 years. I mean, who needs quality these days? I donāt, so I have a suggestion for improvement: please remove all content immediately. I think it would be high quality with 720p graphics but without details, details would make the game seem too high quality for me. I would also like the driving physics from Need for Speed āāfor FM, as they are of higher quality, and please the car models from the first part. If Iāve forgotten anything, please add it.
Thatās goodā¦either they should bring race cars or stop making racing gamesā¦cause dont know about others but Iām done with this current race car listā¦
The development of both those āDLCā would require money.
If they develop DLC that is funded by a joint marketing promotion with a road production car or sponsor they can convince the licensed car brand to pay towards the DLCs development.
However if they develop DLC the players ask for - such as racing events, Karting, Drift or Drag, they have to pay for that themselves because thereās no way an organisation like IMSA is going to pay T10 to do anything at all other than to stay away from their established un-sullied brand.
As a result - I predict more āpartnershipsā with advertising sponsors like Mobil 1 and some more production cars, probably from the Asian market that can be more readily deceived.
dlcās are where their biggest profit margins come from. especially now with game pass ultimate. the base game is basically a giveaway. release dlcās like the deluxe and vip version are the incremental money makers.
Iām guessing theyāre still a long way from seeing dollar one return on investment from FM given how poorly (buggy mess) this release was delivered.
i do expect dlcās like expansions and car packs will come. of course, it āwould require moneyā but you need money to make money. business 101
this post was more to spur fun conversation and speculation of what the expansions could possibly be.
Karts would be a fun addition. I am also hoping for more GT3 cars. (Mustang GT3 Im looking at you.) Since theyāre adding more IMSA cars maybe we can see more of the older IMSA racers? Even more of the Early LMPs and GT1s would be fun imo. Of coarse thatās just me and I am a strange individualā¦
With the poor state of the game the only expansion worth for T10 will be the closing of the servers and a merciful death of the FM franchise. No a single complain from the healty part of the comunity have been addressed.
Getting karting as an expansion doesnāt excite me at all. Yes it can be very fun and competitive, but I donāt really think it fits in with a Motorsport game. Maybe as a small separate game? Forza Karting as a ā¬30 game anyone?
Iād rather see a themed expansion based on a country thatās heavily involved in motorsports but feels a bit under represented in the game: Japan.
Thereās some great racing series that can be added from them, stuff like Super Formula, SuperGT-racing and TC-Racing (JTCC, GroupA-racing era).
Also thereās plenty of great tracks in Japan and maybe to stretch it a little, maybe even China and South-Korea.
This may not be as unique as karting, but to me feels like it would add something that I would enjoy more in the game.
