So i want to take a moment to thank forza for making the new motorsport so enjoyable and so realistic. It has put hope in me again. They didnt necessary do bad for themselves in fm7, just wasnt the same as their past just adding cars then wanting more they cant get them due to licencing. I do get irritated when they dont add some cars like the pagani utopia or the lambo temerario or even more basic cars for the people. But this post isn’t about adding cars. Its about brands or atleast more detailed options when it comes to performance upgrades.
So for someone that enjoys cars and modding them out on games it seems like forza has a wide veriety of upgrade options. Im here to say they dont! Before you get mad let me explain. Yes, they have a good amount of options that get you started to think about them. But let’s look, think why is it so apealing to have a super realistic racing game?
Reason 1: all the fun none of the danger/death.
Reason 2: having something you desire/enjoy so much that is unattainable in real life for you.
Reason 3: taking the opertunity to do better and push yourself, looking at reason one with that
Reason 4: last one I’ll mention cause there are so many reasons. Think about what car you want or if you already have the car. What do you want to do to it?
You can’t exactly buy a part test. It sends it back cause it doesn’t give enough or too much performance to your preferences.
So lets say you buy a brimbo brake kit for your car irl, cause it looked good on forza for your car but unknowingly it wasnt that brand it was actually bosch brake kit (i dont know if they have that for their brakes, sorry if thats inaccurate) maybe you wanted to brake better but not like race brakes and it was way to much for you (granted most people dont have a motion platform for g force in game, but this is just a basic example)
Tires are big ones. They have stock, street, sport, race, drag when you select race, you have more options for soft, medium, hard, or rain. This all affects performance on different tracks or different conditions. But let’s go back to irl. There are so many brands made in so many different places, made in so many different ways, with so many different tread patterns and different rubber compounds, made differently and every one of those different brands/models and types will grab and tract differently so how many different kinds would there actually be? Street plus? Sports plus? Race ultra super sport? 10-20 options im not personally sure how many? I do know there are even sport tires that grip and grab almost as good as race tires but are better for rain conditions and street use besides just track use. There is no option for that in forza. It would be awesome to see brands for tires, exhausts or other parts, to know what youre getting into, but i inderstand why they wouldnt. “Oh that didnt perform like the game. That game is fake i dont wanna play that anymore.” But if they added more veriety of options and even got more parts or part specific. Such as more options like a sport plus option as just and example of one, something like that tho would be awesome! I appreciate you guys reading through. I hope I made enough sense for you to understand, and have an awesome time racing!
