Am I the only one who thinks that Forza Motorsport/Turn 10 developers are seriously joking with their player base?
I mean, new series that will start are already in the menus and in the Open Events, not only we’re STILL GETTING ONLY ONE OPEN CLASS SERIES to “choose” from, it will turn from “X” Class to “E” Class. Same on the Specs Series! Why?! Why only ONE new Racing Series every week??
I really would like to understand what the hell os going on inside those Devs heads…
Why tie our hands when it comes to use their procuct to enjoy it and have fun while limiting our choices in a product that people paid for it and clearly could be way more attractive and interesting then it is just because Devs what it like that?!?
And this is on top of the bad and buggy and crashing game they gave us and missing to fix it!
How in the World can this game even be nominated to best sports/racing game and the accessibility? Specially the last one considering that most times in order to complete 2 races in a row you have to restart the game like 5 times…
Hey
We want a/b permanent series!
We want a permanent a\b series. It’s obvious! We don’t want to drive cars slower than our real ones irl! That’s just stupid, you’re ruining online.
I guess you’re right! Yesgterday I played about 8~10 races and none of them had more then 10 players. Some only had 5 or six and even had a race with only 4 of which 2 quit!
Hey!
Player numbers are dropping because players like A, B and S classes! Not formula and cars from the 1950s. This is obvious from ALL such games. In all these games, the fastest and slowest classes are the least popular. The biggest online in horizon is a and s class, slightly less in b class. But c class has very few people, and the classes s2 and c-d-e have minimal people at all. Most people just skip s2 and c in open.
Jup, I usually don’t play normal Multiplayer, but since most of my friends are already done with the new Forza, I gave it a go yesterday and immediately got hit with “bad network connection” even though my connection is absolutely perfect, which can only mean I get connected with people from who knows where because there just aren’t enough players.
If Turn 10 doesn’t do something MASSIVE to improve their game, the future of Forza Motorsport is gonna look pretty bleak I think. Well, there’s always Horizon for the TikTok-Generation… Man, I hate this.
They smash our dreams… And they do it so stupidly, as a marketer I just can’t comprehend the degree of obvious unprofessionalism with which they operate. They’re dropping online catastrophically, reliably, surely. And they’re introducing X classes and then E classes. It’s just game suicide. We have hundreds of sporty beautiful cars in A-B-C classes but have to play E class.
And it’s Mazda all over again. This is the fifth series of Mazda domination in a row.
In a couple of months time I’ll be able to afford a PS5. If this keeps as it is, I’ll get one and switch to GT7.
I’ve completed everything there is to do in Horizon and basically only go there to get enough to unlock the new cars coming out.
I’ve tried other racing games and to me none gets close to Motorsport/Horizon execpt GT7 so…
I honestly hope they get it together because I’ve been a follower of the Motorsport/Horizon series since it’s beginning and always primed it over any others and would like tp keep it like that… and also save some money!
Yeah, I started looking into PC-Simracers and have been having a blast in Automobilista 2 on the Nordschleife. Forza was always enough content for me until now. Pretty sad.
Automobilista 2 and ACC are wonderful games but a lot more hard compared to FM (but at last my Fanatec Elite work in Automobilista and ACC…). When you like some more relaxed we got no Simarcade on PC (Tnx EA for killing Project Cars), the only option is FM and they did a total mess with this release.
Anyone here is an OG enough to have played Metropolis Street Race (MSR) or Project Gotham Racing?
MSR originated Project Gotham Racing and then the game that originate Forza Motorsport if I’m not mistaken…
In MSR you had the actual real cities of San Francisco, Tokio, London with diferent courses arround the cities which was the first one and it was amazing! Stock Cars only, game was all about proper driving skill! You would set your local time when playing and while playing, if you were to race in Tokio for example and it was let’s say 5pm in your local time, the race in Tokio was at the current time considering the time zone there! It even had local radios in the game that would play according the local time transmition!
I would definetly switch to any of those two right now for Forza Motorsport…
Why in the name of all that is petrol have you chosen to re-use the spec hopper from like 3 weeks ago!?! Have you already run out of ideas? And open E-class… Well. That seems thrilling.
We desperately need some better hoppers. Doesn’t even have to be more hoppers. Just better.
There are 9 different Classes avaliable and we only get ONE every week?? WHY?!
Make 3 diferent Classes avaliable every week, what’s wrong with that? Apart from what @PhoenixGTI said, which actually might very well be the reason as they see their player base drop, not doing it is morronic!
Had they started like that and today would’ve been much diferent for sure!
But that’s classic Turn 10, that’s how they’ve been doing stuff for a while.
The rotations are already in place and were decided a while ago, the online hoppers, the DLC, the rivals (…) They can’t or won’t adjust anything on the fly. From X to E class is crazy, besides, did you check the “birth of Grand Prix” class? The gap in speed between the cars is huge, and we know they struggle to balance performance between cars of a same class. It’s not looking good. The only saving grace is that in the birth of GP hoppers the races will be longer.
I think that the Series Events can be adjusted if they want to. Key word there beeing “they”! When should be us to decide or at least to be able to choose from 2 or 3 different Series in each division!
True, the gap is huge indeed! I already bought all of them. Going to try them all and try to max them as well.
I believe rather than balancing those cars around performance, they balanced them around tire wear. Some have race tires that wear out quicker, forcing a pitstop. Others have sport tires that last the whole race but are much slower in the corners.
its different and I like it now that I know whats up, I just wish that was made clear in some way. We need some context on some of these car choices for particularly hoppers.
That all said, I wish we had something different than a hopper we’ve already had.
Yes Id be nice if they pared 2 open car class series at once. I’ve been thinking about that recently and its a great idea. E+C , A+B , S+P … Give the players an alternative… And add more permament spec series?
