UPDATE #2 9/19/17 11:58am PT
Unfortunately, I am really sorry to say that for the first time in our years of doing these Interview question threads, we were unable to get a video interview at a special Forza Motorsport 7 preview event we attended yesterday.
There were several reasons out of our control (and some that were) as to why we were unsuccessful but honestly going into details won’t really change anything.
AMENDMENT 9-19-18 12:23pm PT: I should say this now before any rumors start. Our failing to get the interview was STRICTLY A LOGISTICAL ISSUE. We weren’t verbally denied nor was anyone from Turn 10 trying to duck us or avoid answering the questions because they didn’t like them.
We ARE working on a PLAN B in which the interview will be done in written form versus video but since the interview would involve individuals pretty high up in the development team we can’t guarantee it will happen for sure as you can imagine the whole Turn 10 crew is pretty busy getting the game ready for launch.
We will keep you all updated but for now we want to apologize and again thank everyone who participated in this thread. Any updates on the situation will be posted here.
In the meantime if you want to see some direct capture footage from the Forza 7 build we played yesterday plus our impressions of the build we have videos up at YouTube.com/MotorworldHype right now with more videos coming through out the day.
[UPDATE 9/18/17 2am PT]
As of now we are officially no longer taking new questions! We want to THANK EVERYONE who participated in this thread! You came up with a lot of questions in a really short period of time! A lot of really good questions too!
We’ll try to keep you updated on our progress and how things go.
By the way, not that we’re revealing anything but if you want to have some idea of what’s going on then you may want to follow @MotorworldHype on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook tomorrow. Say, between the hours of 8:30am and 1pm PT…
Not saying why but…it may prove …“insightful” wink wink nudge nudge
Ok, I’m not sure how much we’re actually allowed to say here so please bare with us!
So MotorworldHype.com may or may not be going to an event at a top secret location in which we may or may not get to interact with a certain racing game coughcoughForza7cough.
At this event which may or may not be happening at a place that may or may not exist, we may also have the opportunity to speak with the developers of this game.
So, in a similar fashion to what we did at E3, we want to open things up to the community and get potential questions from all of you.
The catch is, this event is happening very soon. We’re not sure if we can say exactly when but lets just say sometime next week.
So we’ll need you guys to move fast and while voting (AKA “liking”) questions is still important, due to the time constraints we may just pick a few of your questions on our own if they seem good enough despite its amount of likes.
We can’t reveal the deadline to submit questions because that may be accidentally giving something away that we aren’t allowed to divulge so instead we will just make a post later on letting you all know that we won’t be accepting any new questions.
Should things go our way we will update this thread with more information.
If you are new at this please see the rules below. We look forward to seeing your questions! Remember this time you gotta move fast!
Here are the official rules for this thread! PLEASE read them BEFORE posting your question!
-
If you have any questions that you want us to ask post them in this thread. If you can’t think of a question yourself but see a question posted by someone else that you think is good then click the “like” button for that post.
-
We will pick the questions with the most “likes” including any others that we just think are good questions to ask should we get the opportunity to conduct an interview.
-
ONLY ONE QUESTION PER POST. Why? Well as I mentioned, one of the main factors in picking questions is looking at how many likes it gets. However if a single post has 15 questions then we don’t know exactly which one of those questions is the one that earned the “like”. As such we will ignore any post that has multiple questions despite how many likes it has. I know you guys have a lot of questions so make more than one post if need be. It will make our job much easier. Thanks!
-
If a question we pick from this thread already gets answered in say, a press release that comes out before our interview we will omit it unless we feel like there could be some more digging to do there.
-
Refrain from posting “complaint questions” i.e. “why doesn’t Forza Horizon 3 have _______ like ______ game has?”
-
We will update this thread when we are no longer accepting new questions so please keep an eye out!
-
There is NO GURANTEE THAT WE WILL GET THIS INTERVIEW. There will be many other media outlets there and many of them are frankly bigger than us and often get priority. These events can be very dynamic and things can change at a moment’s notice. HOWEVER, we have a pretty good track record with the Forza team and have never previously failed or been denied an interview. As always we will do our best!
-
Should we get the interview we will post it on MotorworldHype.com and post the link to it here!
