Less Cars, more Features and Tracks

I see a gazillion cars in wishlist section. I hope the dev ignore it completely. For next FM I hope they give us just a handful of race cars and not all those family cars and cars that never made it to any podium. Instead give features that are expected of a modern racing game. FM7 was miles behind in that. And provides high quality tracks. 500 cars with only 10 cars that are meta will be just waste anyway. They better have less cars to do the BOP updates regularly, else we will be just driving the 10 cars that are meta.

Got the big part done, will go from here and Jm glad I found your forum and you guys its will just be better and good hard competition and good advices.

The studio will have already mapped out their car list for the most part, the forum would have very little (if any) influence on this. The fact that they’ve confirmed a list of 500 cars shows that they’ve already committed to their plan regardless of what’s said on the forum.

Agreed. To be blunt, I hope Turn 10 have taken heavy inspiration from GT Sport and iRacing.

I hope they’ve scrapped the PI system and will do regular balance updates similar to a fighting game, but the car count makes me think PI will still be a thing, and thus us players will find ways to optimise it.

I want a lot of cars not just a little
Of course we want more race tracks

Less cars is confirmed. Same case for tracks: Less tracks. Turn 10 are serious about Less cars and less tracks.

Less is more

Less content, more price
Less effort, more buzzwords
Less cars already revealed in the trailers, more garbage to be added later as overprice paid content

I remember in the good ol’ days, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and asteroids fell from the sky, if you bought a game you paid one price and received an entire game in which everything just works. (Hush todd howard, it doesnt just work, be quiet)

In Forza Motorsport 2023, yes it is.

I absolutely disagree with less cars, but with the latter being more features and tracks, I agree with that.

Either way, over 500 cars is still huge, despite some being held back. Over time, FM8 has the potential to have the largest car list in the entire series with DLC and updates.

THe cars will probably flow in consistently if FH is any indication. I’m still worried about the rate at which we get tracks. 20 tracks is not great, especially when FM7, PC2 and GT7 all have over 30 (60 in the case of Project cars).

Forza motorsport (2005) had 16 environments… I dont understand how theyve manage to backtrack nearly as far as the original title in number of environments. That’s kind of impressive, when other games are focused on more and more t10 is willing to go against the grain and give us less and less. A real ‘game changer’ in thr market, as in ‘if they dont get it together we will be changing games’

I believe a number of cars in the wishlist section are, in fact, race cars.

As of update 10, they’re still adding less cars and I don’t like it.

Less cars=dead game

Already they’re loosing more and more people by not adding new cars to the game meanwhile fh5 breaking player counts by adding more cool cars each update.
In a racing game less cars is just mad i don’t get u at all :neutral_face:.

I just don’t understand (and wish they would explain) why is it that they add new cars to Horizon and just not also add them to Motorsport??
Just transfer them over at the same time! What is so hard about that??

For example, not too long ago, they added the Elantra N TCR, a RACE CAR to Horizon, a game where you drive on grass, instead where it truly belongs, in Motorsport, where you drive on a track! Why??

I swear, whoever is in charge of these games, needs to resign.

T10 has met their ctrl c + ctrl v quota for the year. Just kidding, licensing is probably the issue.

Who cares about licensing! I just want Turn 10 to boost up the car list.

Licensing schicensing… Licensing is so far removed from the developers they don’t even know how to spell the word. If the cars are in the Microsoft stable the Microsoft legal team has secured the Licensing for the car. It isn’t in [said game X] because the lead designers and creators behind [said game X] didn’t request cars A, B, and C, for their game.

If anyone ever takes the time to read the game credits they will see Licensing and Legal are completely separated from both PGG and T10.

Having said that, I agree with the less cars more features and tracks idea. But on a different level. Start the game out with about 100 cars and more features and tracks. Then add more cars and features and tracks as the game progresses.

More cars isnt going to help this game, it didn’t help past motorsport games either. The game needs more tracks, it needs more features to support the 500+ cars that are already in the game. What good would it do for us if they add another 200 non competitive cars when theres nothing to do with them. Horizons open world, people can just cruise around with anything and not really worry about racing.

Do you think horizon even with all the cars they’ve added would be as popular if you could only do circuit racing, of course not. They have circuits, point to point, drifting, drag racing, whatever playground games, user created races and a big open world just to mess around in.

So wouldn’t it make sense if motorsport had point to point races, drifting, drag racing, user created tracks, some fun lobbies like they used to have like virus, cat and mouse and car soccer. I think people would enjoy these things, i think if these things were in the game it’d be doing a lot better than it is now.

100%.
That would be the honorable and respectable thing to do, which is why we can be absolutely certain that it won’t happen.
