Good shout on the Porsche expansion being on sale, I just recently got an Xbox One and Forza 6 and Horizon 3. The Porsche pack was the big one I still needed.

We need more old Baja and Mickey Thompson trucks from the late '80s/early '90s IMHO.

It was only from FM3 that Forza really gained an "aesthetic" and sense of style that challenged Gran Turismo. GT even now still does so much right in that regard, despite the gameplay not really moving forward in many ways.

Mediocrity Goggles posted:So, I had let this series pass me for almost a decade after motorsport 2/3, is Horizon basically where all the cooler stuff from those went while the main motorsport became even more like Gran Turismo? the main Forza Motorsport games were always direct comparisons/improvements on/evolutions from the Gran Turismo formula, all the Horizon games have been more like the open-world Need for Speed games that came out last gen after Burnout Paradise. And directly comparing Horizon 3 to Motorsport 6, the car customization is almost completely the same, it's just dressed up very differently in Horizon.

financially racist posted:i guess i can accept new york because it was so dumb that it produced hilarious races. Fuji is fun and still a good technical circuit, come catch these hands. I now also really want Forza Horizon 4 to be set in Japan, combination of highway racing, wide city streets (ala Yokohama from PGR2) and mountain/valley roads. Only hard part is it may be more difficult to have off-road racing, without a massive open desert, but could just make a few wider beaches and let you drive through tons of rice paddies instead. Could be as loving a note to car culture for Japan as Horizon 3 has been with Australia.

I don't think Porsche is exclusive (again) (ugh), because Project Cars 2's trailer pretty prominently featured a few different licensed Porsche racing cars that they couldn't get other versions of.

Shumagorath posted:Noticing a conspicuous absence of the Holy Trinity on the car list...? Kinda want to know what those are. Also love how front-and-center the Super GT Nissan is, but it's still a shame it's not a new car and just the one that was in Forza 6/DLC. Need the blue shinkansen to be in Forza! Oh and the other factory Super GT cars would be nice.

track day bro! posted:I know most people here just like racing upgraded shitboxes (says the guy who raced a shitload of datsun 510 spec races in fm4) here but I really hope we get some updated racecars. Lots of the GTLM and GT3 cars are now pretty old so it would be nice for some updated ones. Also yeah I'd love some modern super GT's. I love games where you can see multiple years' worth of cars from the same team/series in a row. Forza 7 definitely needs a refresh of the GT3/GTE and LMP1 groups. Super GT has three cool factory GT500 cars and only one is in the game, never mind the other paint schemes for that GT-R. And of course adding a batch of the old Group A cars would be awesome. Project Cars 2 may be getting some of this right (hello gaggle of Group 5 cars) but Forza 7 may well play better. We'll see.

SUNKOS posted:Turn 10 have done a lot of great things but this shift to a heavier focus on licensed tracks while excellent fictional tracks are left behind has dulled the game a bit. This is incorrect and false, especially since half the fun of Forza is getting to experience places and cars I probably never will in real life.

financially racist posted:or, god forbid, the somehow even worse than motegi tilke-ified fuji. Now don't say things you can't take back. (The last segment isn't great but it actually has verticality and some long awesome sweepers. It's me, the Fuji Speedway apologist) But you're correct Motegi is soulless and bad and hey, remember when it was DLC? Yikes.

GutBomb posted:I do miss the 3G Eclipse. I like having cars in the game that I once owned. I can be selfish and say I want a non-M3 E30 in the game but having some kind of E30 325i would also allow so many people to use one of the most popular grassroots cars in Forza.

financially racist posted:Has Turn 10 mentioned anything about different tire compounds for Forza 7? Dynamic weather is pointless if it doesn't include the ability to pit for wet or intermediate tires and the strategy that goes along with choosing (ie if it's the last few laps is it worth it to try and stay out when it starts raining. That was by far the most interesting and fun part of that F1 games they gave out for free on XBL Gold a while back and is what made me realize the potential for how cool dynamic weather can be. Yep, the fun part of doing long-ish Codemasters F1 races with the weather was playing the "time your pit" game. One lap early, you burn up the wet tires, or slide off on slicks. One lap late, you're tip-toeing around on ice. And this would work dry/inter/wet too, so always a strategy to work out. PCars didn't lean into it that much and if Forza doesn't have something similar for slicks/wets it'll be less than it could be.

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah this is a HUGE thing I've been wondering about lately. Pcars has the same problem where they're going hard on dynamic weather but I don't think they've bothered implementing different tires you can swap between, so what's the loving point? PCars 1 had various slick compounds and "wets" if memory serves, and setups could go to "automatic by weather" to choose the compound. Can't remember how changing compounds was implemented in races, but few games have done it as well as the Codie F1 games, between the setup page and the on-track radio choice menu.

geeves posted:Agreed on the car variety. A big argument some have is that the classes are still highly unbalanced because of cars in classes might not actually belong (Bac Mono, Alfa 33, Aston Martin GT2). they aren't even doing everything they could for "grassroots" motorsport. I know people gripe about all the varieties of Skyline GT-Rs, but if they really wanted to give you the feel of grassroots motorsport in the U.S., they'd provide another E30 beyond the M3. And would make sure the various Miatas look good. And plenty of variations of pony cars. And... Yeah. I'm almost more interested in PCars2 because the car list looks like exactly what I want. tuning up street cars is fun, but there's also a lot of fun to be found in taking a class and having four or five viable cars for it.
