Surely there has to be a Mjolnir helmet for the driver.

Again, the official ribbon count has never included weather variations as part of the total amount of ribbons the game features.You might want to check your game again.Of course they don't count as different track layouts (why would they), but they count as different tracks in the sense of those 200 tracks that Forza 7 will have. They all have their own leaderboard in Rivals. There were approx. 160 tracks/variations in Forza 6 (which includes backwards, night, weather each counting as a "track"). Now with Forza 7 there will be 200 "tracks", a number that is only possible if again every night or something variation counts as a track. There are only four new settings, Mugello can have two track layouts, Suzuka three, Maple Valley I think had three in the past as well, Dubai looks like it has three layouts at most. The only way to reach 200 is to count every variation as its own track.
Unless what you are saying is that you added new layouts to every single old track as well. But then you would market the larger number anyways. There's 85 track layouts in Forza 6, 160 tracks, Forza 7 will have roughly 100 track layouts and 200 tracks.
Also you have yet to see the final list of locations and all their ribbons the game will feature. You really think you already heard everything?
Pretty much all the locations featured in FM6 did not had all the ribbons they have in real life either, so adding new ribbons to existing locations isn't really unrealistic.
BTW FM6 had 102 ribbons(115 with DLC) without weather variations.

Am I right in thinking they added a dash cam like Driveclub has?

Wheel spins are trash.
I'm level 1000 in Forza horizon 3. I get screwed by a 200k XP gap between levels, so far fewer wheel spins for the rare cars they put in there. The rewards never changed like Forza 6 with high level wheel spins and million dollar prizes.
Which is lame, as I'm a fan of racing and will try all three despite how hard that may be with their close release dates.
It's just amazing how the stars aligned and we're getting a Gran Turismo, Forza, and a strong third party PCars right on top of each other.
Dashcam is confirmed, thankfully.

edit: Already mentioned
Me too, but that thread will be needed as a honeytrap to attract and capture the very worst of the shitposting fantwats and keep them well away from the rational discussion threads.
Didnt 6 had i also? Not sure.
They didnt say if every version has it. They just said it has splitscreen. I mean could be on PC also. I mean Gears had it.
Been really super busy lately... Is the dynamic weather on xbox one and the X enhanced version?
Also, is it on every track or just specific courses? Thanks in advance.
No confirmation for either, but I'd imagine both will have dynamic weather for equal experiences. But no word on if weather is only for some tracks. I sure hope it's for all...

So you're saying we're getting 200 ribbons (In over 30 locations) in FM7 NOT counting weather variations ?
That's not bad, although with those numbers i sense a Test Track with 30 ribbons incoming.
SIDEWINDER !

Wait whaaat? Has Suzuka actually been confirmed or are you guys having me on? 😂
Here's another interesting tidbit, turns out the legendary M. Rossi is actually a woman!

This is great and all, but just makes me wish we had real AI and not the drivatar shit.
I race on unbeatable and still get corner cutting AI and turn one parking lots in career.

It seems FM7 impressed at E3.

The footage of this game makes the late gen PS3 looking graphics of GT:S look even worse.
Sigh.
Sigh.
9 min of footage from Digital Foundry. With more correct colours.

Don't know why but this person treating the throttle like an on off switch is irritating the hell out of me lol.

Haven't heard of 90% of those to be honest.

I'm watching day 4 of the daily show and FM7 is looking fantastic. My only thing with it is that this is all being shown on PC. Now I have no doubt that One X will look exactly like this but why do they use PCs?
I think we all remember FM5 where the E3 footage did look better than the finished game. I think it was mostly the 3D crowd and some buildings and I just hope we won't see a repeat of that. Most likely not i would assume. Would be nice if they do show footage from XB1X consoles next year though.

Damn, even Dualshockers gave it best racing game. RIP GT Sport.

Is GT that big of a series anymore?
The last game (and this new one) didn't seem to make a splash at all like the old days.
I mean of course Gran Turismo is still a huge name, and while there was a big drop-off from GT5 selling 12+ million to GT6 selling 5+ million, that's still more than any individual Forza game has sold(I think...). GT6 also released right before the launch of PS4 so the timing wasn't that great either. Racing games in general don't seem to be selling huge numbers these days.
I can't see GT Sport doing 12 million+ as the reception does seem to be a bit underwhelming. I think a big reason it used to sell so well was that it was always one of the best looking games of any genre, let alone having almost zero competition as far as there being similar racing games(until Forza came along). Whereas these days Forza, Driveclub, PCars etc have done pretty well and also look pretty damn great in their own right, so it doesn't have the market to itself like it once did. Also the other genres have caught up and games like Uncharted and Horizon look just as amazing if not better.
Seriously? Have you seen GT: Sport lately? Polyphony's lighting and materials tech is unmatched.
You would think that in the four years it has been since the release of GTA 6 that they've had time to master it.

Animating pit crews to work for 700 cars seems kind of dumb anyways.
Agreed. About <1% of the games players will use it, not worth their resources.

They mention fully dynamic weather and lighting @ around 5:45. thought we knew about the weather being fully dynamic now, but also lighting?

Not read it but is it dynamic or trasitioned baked states like Ass Creed Unity?
Digital Foundry says dynamic in the article above, but we don't really know the extent of the options and implementation behind the systems

Looks so good. Really looking forward to this. Used to be a solely Gran Turismo guy but now that I have a laptop that can run games properly I can't wait to try this.
It looks so much more lively than GT, I hate that static behind the car view that GT has.
Not sure if they are confusing the part when the sun breaks out from the storm clouds as dynamic time of day.
Are reflections still running at 30fps? I cant tell but sometimes It looked like it passing under overhead objects.

The systems are already present in other racing games. If the tech is there they should allow us to have access to it and customise our races as we wish.

True, I'm still hoping for the best though where we can get full control of all of that stuff across all tracks.

Forza could never be accused of peaking too soon but if T10 are to deliver the maximum resolution and frame rate with both it was always gonna be a long way off. I think we'll see it in FM8, after that maybe an evolving track surface for FM9 then where they go after that I couldn't guess.
