Always nice to have new cars… Even better if they’re weren’t constantly broken in some way or another (especially broken LODs which plague the vast majority of the FH5 cars being dumped into FM)
And also this lack of AO in cockpit view with several of the race cars.
The update being themed around a brand is a nice concept, doing this more in the future (like the upcoming Porsche update) is good.
The cars in this update are good (although I struggle with the looks of current BMWs), I think the racing cars especially will see a lot of use.
The BMW multiclass series is a good concept, it’s just a shame it was haunted with the audio bugs, making it a punishment to sit through. I can still here the E-motor of the BMW hypercar in from time to time (joke).
The Forza GT multiclass series was fun, just a shame the GT4 balancing is unrealistic to real life, they shouldn’t beat GT2/E or GT3 cars around a track.
Besides these points the update did feel empty, not really introducing anything new to the game. I know the coming couple of updates will not add anything game changing either, which is a shame, because to me the game doesn’t feel in a state that this is okay.
The track list and featured series feel repetitive and it’s hard to stay motivated because of this.
0/5 update no BMW M5 CS added, just kidding, kind of
I really like the trend of adding 8+ cars per update and having a theme, please keep this up monthly, could use some more qol fixes/things added back, but keep the update 16, 17 momentum going with increased content.
Track decorations: I didn’t mind the Mobil 1 Maple Valley as it was integrated well, but absolutely despised the bland takeover of Hakone.
Multiplayer Series: As these are grouped together as voting options, I explicitly like MX-5 Cup and Ginetta Juniors, didn’t experience the others as I have no interest in them. Same with the Forza GT Multi-Class (which I strongly liked) and the other option.
List item Brand-themed updates are a really good thing !
A Ferrari month could be nice with the Ferrari 499P hypercar and the new 296 GT3. Or even the return of the Ferrari 550 maranello / F430 GT or the 512P !
I spent a lot of time on the BMW challenge series playlist. The only problem is that for me, 4 categories is too many, 2 or 3 maximum would be better !
As for the cars, I think it’s a good update with a nice variety of BMWs ! Being a motorsport fan, I really liked the new BMW M Hybrid V8, the M4 GT3, the V12 LMR and the BMW 3.0 CSL.
I’m a big fan of multiclass, but GT2 and GT3 are too close.
I’d love to see multi-class between hypercars and GTs, or between LMP2s and GTs or GT and TCR.
As for the rivals I found the combinations interesting, even if I would have preferred to see the V12 LMR at Le Mans, where it won in 1999.
For the challenge hub rewards, I would have liked a BMW outfit, like we got with the Porsche Hypercar.
For the matchmaking, I think it needs some refinement as there is still way too much of a difference in skill level between players.
Beyond that, the rest of the update was a little “empty” with a lack of major new features and fixes.
With the message of this beginning of the year, I know that we should not expect more but I hope that the game will find bigger updates a little later in the year.
I’d love to see content with racing cars from the years between 2000 and 2010, as we’ve seen in previous forza releases.
With multiclass playlists, that would be incredible.
In proto, Cadillac LMP-02 '2002, Panoz LMP-01 '2002, Audi R8 '06 & R10 TDI '2008, Porsche RS Spyder evo '2008, Peugeot 908 '2009, Acura ARX-01b '2008 or 01a '2009.
In GT, Viper GTS-R '2001 / BMW M3 GTR '2001 / Saleen S7R '2003 / Ferrari 550 maranello '2003 / Corvette C5.R '2004 or C6.R '2006 / Porsche 911 GT3 RSR '2005 & '2007 / Maserati MC12 '2005 / Panoz Esperante GTLM '2005 / F430 GT '2006 / Aston martin DBR9 '2009 / Ford GT MKVII '2009.
All these cars are part of the history of forza.
I hope to have the same type of content and playlist with the Porsche month !
There are so many Porsches from the Forza series that I would like to see like the 356 SL '59 / 906 carrera 6 '1966 / 917/20 '1971 / 935/78 '1978 / 911 GT1 '1998 / 911 GT3 cup '2005, 2008, 2011 / Old porsche 911 GT3-RSR from '2005 or '2007 / RS Spyder Evo '2008 / 911 sport classic '2010 / 718 Cayman GT4 '2019 / 992 GT3.R '2023.
After that I would really like to see the Porsche 917K from the 70s, or the 935K3 from the 80s and why not a small Porsche 911 GT2 racecar version from the years 1998, '99 ? or a little 992 GT3 Cup ?
I know, I dream a little too much…
Personally, I continue to have fun with the game, and that remains the main thing.
There is still a way to do great things with this forza motorsport, keep going devs !
Motorsport needs more Motorsport cars,specially GT3. Streetcars are FH Business. The AI is like a wreckfest.
Triple monitor setup will be fine a removable steering wheel is a nice feature for sim racing. Rest of the game is awesome
Slightly disappointed that the chosen manufacturer is BMW, being already well represented, when there are many more sorely missing.
The quantity of cars is appreciable, even if a few feel a bit redundant or filler, I think most are welcome additions.
One thing I’d like to highlight is that we got a Formula Drift and a Proto-H cars, two divisions that are a little bit light in terms of numbers, and it’s nice to see them grow.
It’d be nice to give the same treatment to GT4 and the new Vintage T/A.
And then, you know, it’s the time where we ask why these races and rewards have to disappear at the end of the month.
Is it going to be addressed ever? What happened to the plan of bringing back some of them?
Next time you bring back cars that appeared in Xbox 360 they need to be remodeled. We already have 100+ X360 (or older) models in FM, we do not need more.
Other than that, it was overall one of the best updates this game has recieved. Shame that you couldn’t have done it a year earlier.
Nah. Motorola Cup/Speedvision Cup/Continental Tire Sportscar Championship/Michelin Pilot Challenge have produced quality racing with street cars for literal decades.
A mega start of the year thanks to the additions of the following
•The BMW M4 GT3 was one amongst highly requested GT3’s to join the Forza Roster and definitely was one to reckon with of the BMW GT legacy
•Speaking of Legacy the stand out division Forza Proto-H with the BMW M Hybrid V8 that made it the third LMDh model to join the V-Series R (which needs a top speed buff) and 963 another highly requested machine to appear within Forza Motorsport
T10 keep Forza Proto-H growing up especially for LMH’s to make theirs debut to the division alongside the LMDh’s particularly looking at the Peugeot 9x8 from their wing choices and also with now 1056 votes here Ferrari 499P!
Bmw multiclass event = worst multiplayer event so far.
1 added bmw way to slow compared to other cars, and 1 bwm being new meta = they don’t even bother testing car balance in open class.
Lmp cars… I don’t care
Single player … I don’t care, ai have worse behavior than most of Forza players on track, and let’s be honest, Forza players are not the type to drive cleanly.
Penalties still not working properly, faster (better) players still getting penalties just for because they can drive faster than AI, even if random noob in multiplayer shoves u off track, there’s 50% chance that faster player that just was send off track, will get penalty.
Corner pixel cut penalties are still ridiculously high (chicanes on lime rock/road Atlanta gives u 1.8s just because ai is too slow)
what can i say, there was nothing improved in BWM update, multiplayer content was rly bad, the only good thing were new cars, but well overall car balance was bad.
