There was talk about this game not being from “the ground up” because they spotted reused assets. I think that is unfair as games that are under development would naturally use props/cars from their previous installments as placeholders in their new game as to save time/test with things before making it all pretty. Not to mention that a lot of the footage they showed online is old development builds. However I don’t know how old those builds are.
I think a lot of it is built from the ground up. Heck it has been almost 6 years since the last Forza and they have already shown how they develop tracks, it is nuts and is the reason why the game is releasing 1 track at a time instead of pushing back the whole game to include all the tracks.
Do you think it’ll be purely built from the ground up? What I am saying is just speculation.
