Update 8.0

And we’re both and all Americans too! America from Alaska to Peru. We should chop down all the boarders and politicians and just all be Americans.

My rant for today

The issue with this game taking the “serious” approach is that it’s been nothing but an excuse to reduce content without a remotely-proportional amount of added features to bolster that focus.

It’s still the same simcade at its core… but being “serious” means:

  • less cars. No SUVs because we’re “serious,” but very few worthwhile additions, and still missing a countless number of past entries that would qualify for “serious” racing

  • less features. Apparently drag and drifting aren’t “serious” enough

  • less music and almost full removal of any type of artistic flourishes. The sterile presentation is certainly serious.

But what did we gain?

  • we got weather! …without a forecast system. Gambling compounds makes things more serious, I’m sure.

  • we got fuel and tire options! …without race durations to justify any level of strategy.

  • we got proximity indicators! …oh wait, the stop-gap method that’s been recycled from FM7 while literally any other “serious” game—even GT7 being a simcade—has some level of proxy radar overlay

  • we lost options to configure races! …oh wait, what? You can’t create your own race and start from the back? PI grid ascension is useless? What?

  • we got AI improvements! Ultimate simulation of gamepass players revolutionized an NPC-controlled T1 experience to reflect online lobbies against the casual elite. We all love AI that handicaps itself by braking on straights or having terminal fear of passing player-controlled cars

Seriously, this “serious” focus is an excuse to provide less. Games as a Service is an excuse to charge full price for an Early Access title.

The worst thing they could do is introduce paid content in the next 6 months. It’s still an incomplete game. Maybe it gets stitched up to par by the 1-year mark. Idk. But it’s just still Diet Forza with a fancy marketing narrative.

A while back I found out the “bigger is better” option for scoring is missing in FM23… Rest in peace backwards circuit racing :pensive:

Idk why PI grid ascension/descension doesn’t work in this game. Even if you have the highest/lowest, you can’t start further back than 12th in a full lobby. What a weird game design choice

You guys might want to go inform Google of that, then.

Not going to beleaguer this argument further, there are many differing views on the classification of what is “Central America”. A majority of US and Mexican Citizens consider Mexico as Central America.

@AleMena10 and myself consider it Central America following the Citizens choice and the classic UN classification. You choose to go with the Google definition. It’s all good but not worth continuing on in this thread. We can move on back on track on the update 8 theme.

You’re the one that corrected @Daddy_Elon though, by saying

implying that his statement was incorrect. Now you want to come in and say that either view is acceptable, but “the majority” of US and Mexican citizens consider it part of Central America (and I’m sure you must have conducted surveys and have ample evidence to support this claim).

Whatever man, you do you. :man_shrugging:

Look, I’m a Mexican citizen and I know, like he said we consider central and you consider north, it’s fine but it depends.
North America is :us::canada:
Central America is all the countries in Caribbean,Mexico and central countries
South America as you know.

Central America is the southern-most region of North America. It’s not its own continent.

Next gen, built from the ground up. A workaround of sorts is to set grid ordering to random and keep restarting the race till you’re in the range you want to be.

And @AleMena10 I’m on-board with you. And like I said, I’m not going to perpetuate the argument. Too many people just want to jump on an argument just for the sake of an argument.

FH6 is going to be set on tatooine. Callin it now.

FH6 will be on Heisenberg II in the Heisenberg system in the Starfield game universe.

So, what’s your predictions about builders cup this time?
I think it’s going to be: track attackers! Featuring hyper cars, super sport cars, GT3 (because of the 935) & early 2000 racers.

I think they will release FH6 in the year 2025 not in 2026. And it will be announced on the E3.
