When is a proper car modelling overhaul coming?

,

Almost none of the cars in the game are up to scale. The tires are not the right height or width relative to the body. The headlights and tail lights are not spaced apart correctly. The body height and width is wrong.

Almost none of the vehicles are accurate to scale/dimensions.

When are we going to get a proper car modelling overhaul? Will it be released in phases?

From what I heard, 9 cars that retained their FM1/X360 models are confirmed to be remodeled as their reports were closed. I donā€™t know when weā€™ll be able to see those remodels but Iā€™m assuming it will be in future titles like Horizon 6.

  • Silvia S15
  • Skyline R32
  • AE86 Trueno
  • RX-7 FD
  • Lancer Evo VI
  • Focus RS Mk1
  • Ferrari 575M
  • BMW M3 E30
  • Viper GTS ACR

What? FH 6 hasnā€™t even been announced yet. Whatā€™s the point of acknowledging or closing those threads if the changes are not coming in FM 23?

Ohhhhā€¦ They are going to pull the same stunt all over again it seems ā€œSorry we couldnā€™t improve the car modelling and sounds in Forza Motorsport but in Forza Horizon 6 we might, so whip out your wallets peopleā€.

Endless loop.

With this many cars, it will literally take them years.
Donā€™t hold your breath.

I personally am in the camp of preferring to get 10 new cars rather then fixing minor details of 10 current cars.

I do not expect any remodelling to be done in this game. Itā€™s not impossible but definitely has the vibes of an issue that would be marked as ā€œnext gameā€ in JIRA.

Its not going to happen in this game, one of the reasons is that cars cant simply be swapped out with a new one. Car parts owned, paints, tunes and lap times set would all be useless if not erased.

I know some are all about the accuracy of these things, but the truth is most arent, same with tracks. Most people dont know the differences and if you try to show them their eyes would just gloss over.

Iā€™m personally somewhere in-between. Sure Iā€™d like for cars to be as artistically accurate as reasonably possible. Nevertheless, I have never (and probably will never) seen some of the cars on this list outside of the Forza games. So, I wouldnā€™t know what a real S15 or an AE86 is supposed to look like.

All it takes is some photos and videos. Most of the cars featured in the game are actually very sleek, low, and wide in real life. Forza hasnā€™t gotten the dimensions right unfortunately, although they did it rather well on all the Xbox 360 and Xbox One games.

For comparison, you can look at the same car models in GT7 - they look practically 1-1 with the real thing: the lights are spaced apart correctly, the wheels are the right size relative to the body, the carā€™s chasis/bodywork is the correct height, length and width, etc.

I hate the ugly boxy looking Audi S7 Sportback. But then, one day here on the Island, I saw a real S7 sportback. WOW! What a beautiful really sporty sleek looking car. Itā€™s nothing like the ā€œthingā€ thatā€™s in the game. That car in the game could not have possibly been laser scanned. It couldnā€™t even have been 3d photographed into the game. It had to be hand drawn into the game.

You will realize that nearly all cars in the game are actually very VERY beautiful to look at IRL - the gameā€™s versions look blocky and do not capture the lines, curves, width, height, etc. faithfully. They did that in FM4 I believe with an in-depth car capturing process - even FM5ā€™s, 6ā€™s, and 7ā€™s models are vastly superior to FM23.

Have you played AC UE on Xbox? the car modelling is ridiculously good and very accurate to the real thing, even given the barebones graphics by todayā€™s standards.

I have not played AC UE but Iā€™ll take your word.

Also, my statement above, I could simply replace S7 Sportback with Porsche Panamera, or Cayenne. As the multitude of those running around here so much better looking than the game version.

Realistically it takes laser scanning, which turn 10 has done on some cars but obviously not all. I cant remember off the top of my head which ones but there has been modified cars put into the game so they do scan them.

I havent noticed too many car models since fm5 that looked that inaccurate, but this game definitely seems to use lower res textures compared to past games. I dont think theres any circular shapes that dont have sharp angles on them.

Gt7s car models are pretty much the best in the business and polyphony should be really proud of what theyve presented. The only forza models that could even come close were the forzavista cars from fm4.

Yeah, I keep reading that ā€œthis car doesnā€™t look like the real thingā€, or ā€œthis engine doesnā€™t sound like the real thingā€, or ā€œthis car doesnā€™t perform like the real thingā€, and having never experienced any of these cars, I have to say, they look recognisable, they go vroom vroom, and Iā€™m having fun chucking them in the corners.

Iā€™d rather they put effort into adding more cars, than waste it on cars that, as far as Iā€™m concerned, look pretty car-shaped to me.

$60-70 will likely be the cost for a game with remodeled cars (and better engine sounds). What a steal!

Yes and polyphony use cars from gt3 from years and years in a terrible low polycount. Same for the tracks. And now after all the new psysich break the game.

This hasnā€™t been true for 7 years.

Gran Turismo 6 was the last title to use old models. Every car model in GT Sport and beyond is brand new.

While it certainly would be a ā€˜nice to haveā€™ thereā€™s far more important things to do. Like build a game, rebuild a community and and, and.

Besides how many people actually drive the car stock. I bet most if not all are slammed, different rims, aero parts etc. thatā€™s without getting in to how the car actually handles , engine swaps, suspension changes etc. Just put the rescan on the to do list and scan some new tracks and cars first.

But at least they acknowledged it in their official Twitter (X) account that they will investigate and fix it.

And you didnā€™t spell ā€œPhysicsā€ correctly. You really skipped spelling class, do you? :joy:

And I canā€™t even say anything is broken, so far as my own cars and tunings go. I have never seen a car flying, in hours of play.

On-road driving has been excellent in 1.49, and the off-road handling is (IMO) a day/night improvement.
