I just watched the full gameplay and i have to be honest but,
In MY opinion the HUD looks really bad, it moves with the vehicle motion and just feels really poorly designed.
I love the game franchise and i will get the game and i’m not ripping on the devs but,
In comparison to FM6 this HUD just feels wrong.
Picture for reference:
Just throwing my 2 cents out there no need for any flaming.
I don’t mind it at all. I don’t think it’ll be noticeable when playing. Or…
Would you rather have this.
The only thing I really wish they would change, and have done for some time, is to have the counter read LAP instead of LAPS, because LAPS suggests you have completed that many laps, while LAP indicates correctly that you are on that lap. I still get confused sometimes.
However, that movement with the camera does seem a bit weird. I’m assuming it will only be in cockpit view, but still see how it could well be annoying. It also looks a bit more intrusive than before. Having said that, it would be nice if we could have last/best lap times on screen all the time, and that tilted full circuit map that GT Sport is showing off in the HUD is pretty cool as an extra indicator of how far through a lap one is, but the local minimap we have in Forza is more useful for anticipating corners without the driving line.
Guys if a typo and moving icons is all you have to worry about on the UI then be happy. The lack of infomation is shocking and needs vastly improving. We need to see best lap for the current race and splits that compare to previous splits. Better still your leaderboard best lap as well with splits for that. Plenty of room on the screen so fill it with info
I completely agree with you here. I’m continually glancing over to the right side of the screen looking for my “Best” time, and disappointingly, it’s never there! I often think, with all the developers that work on the game, NONE of them are interested in seeing their best lap while fighting to best it?
In IGN their interview with the lead developer he said they worked alot on immersing you more on the racing experience with the shaking camera and weather effects.
I for one cannot stand my camera shaking and twisting all the time and i believe that FM6 had perfected the camera angle.
Can you turn it off manually and make the camera angle just like FM6 or is it always on?
Ign just dropped some new dubai porsche gameplay including HUD and everything.
The game looks amazing so far.The HUD and camera movement when steering and cornering is crazy, i want to know if this is off putting for anyone else here.
You can’t corner without going into what i call ‘‘need for speed drift cam’’ mode and the HUD just moves around with it.
Really hope this will be a setting you can change in game.
EDIT: they really focussed on competetive gameplay for this forza but in my opinion you cannot focus and predict your racing line and hit the apex perfectly if your camera is shifting from side to side all the time.
What concerns me is those fire works going off,keep that stuff in Horizon.
Um, fireworks were in FM6, Rio, if i remember correctly
Yes they were V man,still don’t care for them,its just crazy loud with the 7.1 and subs.
forza 6 rio had em!
The camera was one of the first things I noticed as I initally mistook it for microstutter.
Seems like it has a inertia and other bumpy effects added. One of the clips did make me feel off.
I agree, it’s ridiculous, but I’m afraid that this nonsense and spinning wheel are here to stay…
What’s wrong with a few fireworks going off on fantasy tracks when you pass areas where there are bunch of people trackside? How in gods name does that effect the gameplay in any way shape or form? It happened twice on the Dubai track.
1 thing I noticed was some old familiar AI names at race end,wonder if drivatars are dead or just no info for drivatars.
PLEASE LET IT BE SO! Buried so far down nothing could ever reach them again… another huge + if so.
Ya seems like the HUD is something that will take some time getting used to.
That looks horrible and nothing like what they showed on stage… It looks like they desaturated it by over 50%…?
It is a problem of the video. Compare the brightness and colour of the HUD with the one from the Nürburgring-gameplay.
Really? It’s the best damn racer I’ve seen with these eyes, ever. Even if the “saturation” is off a bit.
Wouldn’t it be read as “2 out of 4 laps”? To me, it’d sound weird to say “2 out of 4 lap”, but I understand where you’re coming from I suppose.
