It’s true the battering of the car aspect doesn’t necessarily translate well in any game. You’re never going to have a wheel break and fly off because you forgot to upgrade your suspensions, and it’s almost sad. Almost.
Though there might be a short window of time where the future-former upgrade system will highlight the importance of a good preparation.
In a game like FM, The Ring should have been mandatory since release.
For multiplayer I would have preferred to get a couple among these
-Sebring
-Brands Hatch
-Road Atlanta
-Fuji
-Long Beach
-Sunset Peninsula
-Alpes
-Prague
-Sedona
This! I can’t help but feel that t10 seem the numbers post holidays and thought ‘I know what will change things, a track that’s been in forza for years’
That being said the drip updates are slowly making a differnce to the game. In a year or so we get track parity with 7. Would still desperately need Bathurst, Atlanta, Sonoma and B Hatch though
Sebring, Donington, Riverside (historic), Hockenheim (historic), Tsukuba, Goodwood, Willow Springs, etc…
Yes but I was taking about parity to FM7
Parity just makes this game that game, with some adjustments. Why have the exact same tracks every release, just to have the same tracks not make the lineup just the same?
If this game is truly a GaaS and is going to exist for an extended period of time, it needs to EXCEED the previous release by a large margin.
The track has almost everything you could want in a race.
Sweeping turns
uphill
downhill
chicane
hairpin (full)
blind turns
essess’s
etc etc etc.
The only other track that had all that in the history of Froza was the full test track, but that track was just so short and tight.
It is also a true drivers test. Test of your skills, stamina and memory. When you race a really long race there and get distracted in your thoughts, it’s easy to think you are somewhere else on the track. (especially if you are a wheel racer)
There is not a better track, period.
The ring or “free will” in MP?
Id rather be able to pick my class in MP. It genuinely feels like ages ago we were able to race A class in MP
I just hope it won’t pop in multiplayer, I always skipped in FM7 multiplayer.
That one time it actually came on? I hope it didn’t traumatise you, are okay?
I was there. I was there 3000 years ago … when FM7 went to the Ring. I was there the day the strength of men failed.
I think I saw it as an option in F7 multiplayer like 3 times total. Every time it was skipped.
I hope it’s an option in every single lobby, even the lower classes.
T10 should just add a Nordschleife lobby. People who want to race it can as much as they want and people that don’t can stick to something easy. The track needs to be in MP rotation for all the people who do want to race there. Adding it to the game but not adding it to MP is a big mistake.
I made a thread in the suggestions hub before launch about a dedicated Nurburgring track day hopper, if anybody wants to vote on it here
The Nord is actually all that!
When it first started appearing in games I was overwhelmed by it’s size and as others here have mentioned they find it hard to remember but I still pushed on even if I couldn’t complete a full lap without writing off the vehicle, that was Grand Prix Legends back in 1998
I’d say as of today it’s the track I have spent the most time on and driven the longest distance out of any circuit (Zolder a close second). The length is probably why I enjoy it the most, and then the layout, nice fast flowing sections with good camber and elevation changes, then some really technical stuff and the reward at the end, the long straight to test out your top speed and grab a sip of your drink.
Really would like to see more tracks that are long, even some that are point to point like in PC2. Surely it could be done, fictional locations that you don’t have to pay licenses for would be a no brainer…
Or just all the tracks the previous titles had without the flatulence delays because of bad gaas
Voted.
For me the allure of the ring is based in the suspension of disbelief that comes with playing a racing game to begin with.
many stock cars have run it, so many benchmarks are set against it, but also so many normal humans with no race experience in normal cars have driven it, there is an attraction in virtually measuring myself against that.
Somehow it feels different than lapping brands hatch or something, even if it’s not really special, all the hype makes it feel special, and I enjoy deluding myself that I’m experiencing some of that special sauce. I watch guys like super gt take his virtual experience and apply it real world and I deep down have that optimism of an 11 year old boy and think maybe I could do that too!
I am not going to spend money to go there in real life, maybe if I find myself in Germany again someday I’ll go, but, yea, I want to have fun and pretend I’m an awesome driver and attack the thing everyone tells me is the thing to attack.
I usually shirk the popularity makes it desirable way of evaluating things. But sometimes it’s fun to give into it. So for me having the ring is important to that experience
I’ve always been tempted to take one of my previous cars there, well actually 2 of them.
The type r fk8 thats in FM8 and the Hyundai i30n which was tested at the ring. I just haven’t got the balls to be fair and the money if I bin them lol
If interested, there’s also Nurburgring Nordschleife to Featured Multiplayer suggestion for continuous rotating class races.
I pulled Forza 7 out for a reminder.
Only took me a lap to get back within a few seconds of my best.
I have one thing on my bucketlist - and that’s to drive it in something fast before I’m in the ground.
