Barebones, but it will work
Funny that’s exactly what Turn 10 said before releasing it.

Bring on the 10th. Let's see all those assist options so I can play it like the casual that I am and not have to worry about fuel weight and such

Not to be that guy, but GT7 really stepped up their assists game. It can pretty much play itself. My 4 year old only has to hold down the gas and steer. The game takes care of the rest. She’s having a blast with it. Same with Horizon 5.Bring on the 10th. Let's see all those assist options so I can play it like the casual that I am and not have to worry about fuel weight and such

I appreciate the technical specificity these sim racers have but yeah getting into all those weeds is not for me. Assists are welcome.

Yup. Race wheels and shit and for me. Especially when I love playing these games on my phone. GT7 remote play is fantastic. I’m sure FM will be too.

Damn. There was someone here who actually said he thought lighting in previous games looked better.

Wow he is not happy at all. I'm surprised because I thought he would always praise a Forza game. His criticisms are right and I like that he can see, like I have, that the 2013 game Forza Motorsport 5 is in some respects just as good or better than the 2023 game. It may sound stupid to say it, but it's really true. And the sheer laziness of Turn 10 to not have fixed or improved so many basic things still, is inexcusable. Well done to him for saying all that.

Joining in the track in multiplayer dropped my safety rating from S to A.
On 3-4 occasions, the game either spawned me into somebody already on track or vice versa, resulting in a massive collision.
No clue why we can't just start from the pit and pull out manually. Ghosting in and out is a horrible idea, especially when it doesn't work.
Hopefully getting back to S isn't difficult. I've only done a few races so far.

Because of buzz words like RT, RTAO, and RTGI. It's automatically assumed to be better. The implementation here is broken.

So is controller when you turn off assists and set steering to simulation. For some reason game recommends not to do it if you're on a controller. I find it very strange, game feels so much better that way.
As much as I hate this game for being a half-assed, unfinished effort, I can't say that I'm not enjoying myself when I'm just driving around. It's fun.
But yeah, the upgrade system is really, really bad. You pick a car, finish a cup and it won't even be leveled up enough to install a custom body kit. It's retarded, it needs to go.

Yup this part makes no sense what so ever. I start to level up a car but finish the series at around level 30 ish. the only way i can take it further is by re-runing the series as there are no other events for that car. Its like they chopped out 70% of the builders cup.
Unless im missing something of course. Are there more events other than those that are visible in the menu's that maybe become available later on?

I was thinking for example, if a bought a big turbo for a VW Golf I could put that on another VW or at least buy another turbo for a VW. Not unlock the whole thing again. Crazy.
Anyway I'm enjoying the game, I hated the intro and first Builders cup the graphics don't look good in those but improved quite a lot after that. Strange decision really. You'd think they would want to impress graphically straight away.

Just saw this thread on the Forza forums, apparently Spa is incorrectly modelled, but more to the point, it looks graphically basic.
forums.forza.net
Spa-Francorchamps look terrible
What version of Spa is this? Has any member of Turn10 visited Spa once? This looks like a 90’s version. 🤮 😒 Track surface at the (new) start is wrong. Grandstands are not up to date. The chalet is gone and need to be replaced with a massive grandstand Where is the shortcut...

Don Joewon Song is about as passionate as they come in terms of the Forza franchise, so his criticisms come from a place of genuine love and care for the IP. I’m still looking forward to playing the game come Tuesday, but I really, really don’t understand why they didn’t just make the upgrade system manufacture affinity based. If I race and drive a Camaro, then that should count towards gaining points for the overall manufacturer; that’s how it used to work. I shouldn’t have to then turn around and drive ANOTHER Camaro of the same model, and spend another 2-3 hours leveling it up if I want a car with a different build.
Just simply let me race and grind for credits so I can use said in-game currency to buy the upgrades myself, not lock it behind a nonsensical leveling system for the “carPG” mechanic. I mean heck, if you want the game to last long, then make it to where you aren’t being thrown dozens of credits and cars. Let players work for those things naturally, not artificially locking it away and having them grind for an aftermarket air intake.
I know WHY Turn 10 did this, in order to keep players grinding away at the game, and in theory, keep their player base sustained for a long time… But I also don’t know why they did this, either. I love Forza, always have, but this upgrade system just is not it. I’m still going to play it, as it’s the only racing game where I can easily drive the likes of the Camaro ZL1 1LE, and C8 Z06, two of my favorite cars, on track… But they need to change that leveling system, significantly.

the game plays incredibly well after setting the controller settings, i like the new physics and the feeling on controller. Also the sounds are really really good, the engines now have deep detailed gritty sounds. And the way the sounds are bouncing in the environment is just perfect. Whenever you go closer to a object/car/wall you here the precise sound echo.

I saw the backlash to the upgrade system coming from a mile away. Locking upgrades behind leveling up cars is a type of level gating that everyone hates in regular video games. If i have the money or xp, let me upgrade any car i want. If I’m sitting there hoarding money but can’t use it because of level gating, i am not going to feel rewarded.
It’s a nice idea on paper but perhaps they could’ve added some Diablo style bonus leveling systems that let you push the car’s speed, breaks, acceleration etc by a few points per XP level as a reward for grinding it out.

I feel for pc folks with performance issues, but it looks and plays really well on console, series X.
After playing for a bit, Im getting used to the practise runs, theyre basically a part of the RPG system that you cant just opt out of. And I think its a bold attempt to inject some thought into the whole uograde process and doing tours. Thats where you get XP to upgrade your car. I just think you should be able to leave the track once you hit the lap timer, and not have to do all laps after that.
But free play is still there and without the rpg aspect.

They desperately need to rethink the grindy upgrade system. At the very least make it so that if I own 3 MK1 GTIs and want to set them all up differently I don't have to grind each one to do so.
I have other issues with the game's current state but I really can't comment until I've played it myself.

Thoroughly enjoying the featured multiplayer.
Closing in on that S 5000 rating, currently at S 4982.
Closing in on that S 5000 rating, currently at S 4982.
Played a BIT more and changed graphic settings:
4K
60 FPS V-sync
FSR - Quality
Dynamic Render Quality - Ultra
Motion Blur - Low
Everything else - Max EXCEPT...
Ray Tracing - OFF, because it has very low resolution reflections and makes the cars look NASTY (at least outside of racing). Don't know if it's any better on Nvidia cards, but it's ugly on AMD.
Rasterized reflections are MUCH sharper.
HOWEVER
The game has crashed for the 9th time (within 7 hours) and will probably continue to do so,. I'm concluding the PC version of the game is currently broken.
I'm assuming Turn 10 will do their job and "fix" the game, but for now this game is a DON'T BUY, from me. Never mind the pitiful career mode. They didn't really try.

What going on with replays on series X?
Just had a great online race, saved the replay so I could watch it back, only all the cars just remain sat on the grid......FOREVER!
BUT- If I hit rewind a bunch of times it's makes the cars all glitch out and start jumping up and down and through the track and you can even get lift off and go to fucking space. LITERALLY SPACE IM NOT EVEN JOKING.
I can make every car in the grid float up all the way as high as you can go until the ground starts glitching a load of black textures lol wtf

Now if the post launch support is good and they get rid of all the qol bugs and add like 10 12 tracks I think it will be a 90 + game what we have here as a start is good enough for a gaas game

The penalty system needs reworking. No way should I get a 3 second penalty when a car has come across the grass to side swipe me off the track and then it says "Avoidable collision".
I only bought to play online and I think I'm gonna shelve it until that shit is fixed.

If they want to keep this shit in, at least make it on manufacturer level and not individual car. What the hell were they thinking?
Edit: which is how it was in FM4. But there on top of that you could buy upgrades with money and affiliation gave you a discount. It was an amazing system and I was really feeling like I was building my car and getting attached to it.
