GT Sport has managed to keep sports cars competitive by limiting power and adding weight as and when required, and the system works because the franchise has never touted big wings and wheels above the racing itself. It could be argued that putting the cars on an equal playing field puts the onus on the driver, but a lot of Forza 7’s tracks are very power-intensive, such as Yas Marina, Silverstone, Daytona and Monza – so choosing the most powerful car in the division is key. It seems counter-productive as an approach for Forza 7 to make, because its appeal has long been the ability to improve a car enough to make it unrecognisable from its road-going variant. Making changes to engine parts, brakes or suspension to bring your car level with the competition can easily make your car ineligible for single or multiplayer races.

For example, every car in the ‘Exotic GT’ division must be within a performance range, but the power between one car and another can differ by 100hp at times. Widebody kits, including massive canards and spoilers, can be found on a select few cars engines can be swapped rear-wheel-drive cars changed to four-wheel-drive, and pretty much any other performance part can be improved to your liking.įorza has, however, managed to nix the appeal of modifying its huge list of cars by implementing a balance of performance system depending on the class of car. All signs point to Microsoft implementing your hard earned money as an in-game currency in the future.Ĭars are modifiable, as seen in other Forza titles, to incredible lengths as well. It must be mentioned that there is another, grating, issue: cars are purchased in ‘boxes’ which must be unlocked with credits earned from racing, rather than exclusively at the showroom, in a limiting and unnecessary change. However, the cover star, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, is a frustratingly inconsistent machine, never deciding whether it’s understeering or spinning wildly over an apex. Grand Prix racing machines are a particularly welcome inclusion in Forza 7, which has managed to evoke the feeling of perennial, sideways-orientated danger in all of its vintage open-wheel offerings. Have a look at this picture below which explains everything straight.It’s a salivating list of machines to get to grips with and it does help to provide some encouragement to hit the track and improve your times. It will also have stunning ray-tracing-powered graphics and photogrammetry-created environments packed with hyper-realistic in-game items and scenery. As the devs highlight, the tires and the ambience of the temperatures will change how the tires feel on different track surfaces at varying speeds. Maple Valley, a classic Forza Motorsport track, is returning with this title.Īlongside this, there are huge updates on environmental detailing, a dynamic time and weather system, 48x improvement in physics simulation, and much more. If you compare it to Sony’s Gran Turismo 7’s ray tracing during replays, Forza is obviously the steal of a deal. There are additions of some incredible tech such as on-track ray tracing.

Forza Motorsport 8 developers claim it to be the most technically advanced racing gameĪs it is already evident from the trailer, the developers Turn 10 have left no stones unturned to create a masterpiece out of Forza Horizon 8.
