I still love it to this day!

The physics were great at the time, the car sounds are spot on, even the car data and performance specs are fairly accurate, including nuances like active aero and all.

Visuals are great I think. I wish it had gotten a native 4k/HDR patch. T10 really ought to support their products for a lot longer.

I recently dusted off this game to ā€˜practiseā€™ using a steering wheel on.
I have to say that I have throughly enjoyed it and share your thoughts on devs not supporting games when newer iterations are released.
It is interesting to compare how the game is different from Forza 2023 though.
Much simpler physics modelling for car handling which makes it a far more challenging experience in my opinion :wink:

I love the car details and audio in this game. We really had it good. Wish the devs would somehow magically give us a 4k patch for this beautiful and timeless game.

Iā€™m still at it. I havenā€™t done it consistently since launch became I try to only do one racing game at a time and Iā€™ve done others in between launch and now, but I figure Iā€™ll be in and out of Forza Motorsport (2024) for quite a while.

Despite all the melodramatic gripes against the game, itā€™s still better than GT7. I donā€™t mean ā€œtoday, after updatesā€ but even a year ago. I donā€™t know how someone can play GT7ā€™s eight-car ā€œracesā€ that arenā€™t races at all but overtaking challenges and then claim itā€™s somehow better gameplay than Forza Motorsport. Iā€™m not pretending there isnā€™t room for improvement, but FM 2023 isnā€™t given enough credit. Admittedly, sometimes I yell colorful metaphors at the AI but itā€™s still more engaging, more compelling gameplay than starting at the back of an eight-car single-file parade strung out half a lap ahead of you.

Agreed. I especially like the driving feel and the car sounds that Forza does better than GT7 (LFA and Supra RZ), are indefinitely better.

I donā€™t think Iā€™d choose GT over Forza although was about to jump ship recently due to the myriad of issues seemingly not getting addressed!

What would be great would be a patch to add p2p multiplayer
Xbox Live is probably an issue for that but adding the capability to play friends would be awesome.

What? You canā€™t set up private lobbies anymore? How odd.
