Don’t worry about us moderators, we love this time of year.

Maybe they’re finally, after ten long years, ready to reveal the Hieronymus Car Pack.

Horseless buggies and steam powered vehicles?

It’s typically towards the end of the workday.

The last person out of the office turns out all the lights, stands just outside the doorway, leans forward and presses the submit button with a broomstick and then runs for the parking lot.

Ha ha,love it!!

In all seriousness, they do tend to drop towards end of business for the day. This one might be tougher to call as it’s likely to have a good deal of information in it.

Maybe they’re finally, after ten long years, ready to reveal the Hieronymus Car Pack.

And uh, did you choose the cars in that pack? If so, what exactly would we be getting?

Peel P50 and a Trabant I’m guessing

How does Forza 7 improve on Xbox One X over base hardware?

[4K] Forza Motorsport 7 Demo: Xbox One vs Xbox One X vs PC Comparison!

Colour differences aside (and we can’t factor out an on-site capture issue on the day), the only real difference between PC and Xbox One X concerns anti-aliasing. On the PC, multi-sampling up to 8x is in play, which provides a crisp presentation with some nicely resolved sub-pixel details. EQAA is used instead on Xbox One X - an AMD specific AA implementation that shares similarities with MSAA. Sub-pixel reproduction isn’t quite as good on the One X, but really, outside of the power lines appearing less distinct it’s not something that sticks out when viewing on a 4K screen from typical living room viewing distances. The pixel density ensures that both looks reasonably clean and crisp.

But what about the standard Xbox One version? Well, the good news here is that despite some graphical reductions in a few areas, the game still looks great, with crisp image quality and solid performance. Resolution comes in at native 1080p, while performance is locked at the desired 60fps. Whether bunched up with other cars at the starting grid, or driving through heavy rain, the game never loses its silky smooth 60Hz refresh. The experience remains consistently fluid and responsive throughout, and what’s impressive here is that in many areas the visuals are reasonably comparable to PC and Xbox One X.

Loot boxes have reached a new low with Forza 7’s “pay to earn” option
SAM MACHKOVECH - 9/29/2017, 7:00 AM
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/09/loot-boxes-have-reached-a-new-low-with-forza-7s-pay-to-earn-option/

As of press time, Forza Motorsport 7 does not let you pay real money for its CR coins or for its loot boxes. But that will almost certainly change. Turn 10 confirmed its plans in a statement to Ars Technica: “Once we confirm that the game economy is balanced and fun for our players out in the wild, we plan to offer Tokens [a real-money currency that works like CR] as a matter of player choice. Some players appreciate using Tokens as a way of gaining immediate access to content that may take many hours to acquire in the normal course of play. There will also be an option within the in-game menu to turn off Tokens entirely.”
