Lets hope a demo comes out.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Is this Maple Valley?
Edit: My bad probably Nords.
Could be Road Atlanta?

Nice upgrade, can't wait to see it in sunny daylight. I really hope they've kept that tiny S bend before the finishing area, I used to speed like hell down the last hill and cut that S bend as tight as possible to the finish line!
Really looking forward to this. Hoping that they learnt a few things from PG with regards to PC performance as FH3 wasn't great on PC out of the gate. From the specs released so far, it looks to be well optimised.
What I do appreciate, however, is T10 really turning up the wheel support on PC. I'm just hoping that they have a better handling model and FFB settings for wheel users across the board.
Been playing FM6 in anticipation for this and would really like more and longer endurance races. Hoping we hear/see more about the SP campaign from Gamescom.

All we know is that they have overhauled it and that we will hear more about the career mode and the car collecting aspect at Gamescom tomorrow. Theres more at the link the outlines the progression and the loot system with the different driver gear.

It was stated that the career progression is much more like real motorsport with points being awarded each race based on position and final standings/completion related to total points. In other words, you don't have to podium every race anymore to advance (which was very unrealistic).
The devs share code. So if something is improved or added it usually gets in the next game also. So my guess that happened with the optimization also.

The weather is indeed dynamic and random or predetermined to change in a certain pattern as dark10x has posted?
Think that was more for a demo purpose at E3. To show everything in the little time people have to play the game there.

Wonder if it scores higher than FH3?
Well the last Motorsport to rate as high as FH3 (91) was Forza Motorsport 4, we also did see quite the jump between 5 and 6 due to improvements. It's going to be down to how good the career mode is, if it's good then I think a 91 is achievable but more than likely a 90.
Nah that's from just after the first left-hand corner after the start/finish line on the Nordschleife, you can see the Mercedes Benz emblem on the stands of the Nurburgring GP track in the background:
For E3 they always have a predetermined weather pattern so everyone who plays experiences the weather. If it was dynamic some people might not even see rain etc.
I mean... they are quite different games. I personally have had my fill of straightforward racers and FH offers something fresh.
Everything we have seen so far has only been captured from X, we haven't seen anything from base or PC.

The videos of Forza 7 running on that custom driving rig from E3 2017, was running on the PC. The videos from the SDCC 2017 after party stream were on the Xbox One S and you can see the differences.
https://youtu.be/I9XMmPzkFeE <---- E3 (PC)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gjK6AYL5zM <--- SDCC 2017 (X1S)
I had forgot about the rig thanks for reminding me, I think that was only off screen capture anyway so hard to see any differences. Do you have a link to the SDCC party gameplay I must have missed that.
Edit: thanks for the link Shadow

Still salty about the PC version. That line was so damned long and they kept letting celebs jump in front of me. I'd stay longer but I had coverage and stuff to do ;(

They haven't shown shit since E3 really and it's a month away from release now.
PC demo is confirmed so that's good: https://www.vg247.com/2017/08/21/forza-7-lowers-minimum-pc-specs-pc-demo-confirmed/

Demo will be great as long as it is well before the release.
FM6 had a great track list and the two tracks I was missing most of all are the confirmed returning Suzuka and Mugello, but...
I'm a bit disappointed they have only 4 more tracks than the previous game. 3 of them returning after a hiatus and only one brand new, which happens to be a fantasy street course, my least favorite kind of track. Essentially, there are no new racing tracks added to the franchise which is quite a negative surprise.
Add to that that the car roster is pretty much imported wholesale from FM6, it's DLC packs and FH3, with few new additions and I see very little new content for such an important new release.
In any case though, I've already pre-ordered Ultimate and getting an X for this. I always spend hundreds of hours on each FM and play them for the entire two years until the next release.

I really wish these devs would put up some quality direct feed before all these shit quality impression videos hit the net. Do they ever learn? First impressions matter.
