Forza Motorsport 7 E3 4K Trailer (XB1/PC)
- Thread starter TheGreatDirector
- Start date
Define better, not that you can really determine the 'gameplay' from a trailer, that will come from the nuances in physics and the other features the game has, and that in turn will depend on your personal preferences.

Even something as simple as a temporary fading matte skidmark texture would work wonders.
I know, I know. It's high time I pissed or got off the pot. It's the thought of replacing peripheral bullshittery with PC driver bullshittery that keeps giving me reservations..!
Mascot, don't do this... There is no PC driver bullshittery. I haven't updated my drivers in over 7 months and I can still play pretty much every new game flawlessly*. Golden rules of thumb with drivers, if it's not broken don't fix it (or upgrade in this case).
*With the exception of the very few games that are flat out broken... Rime, I'm looking at you.
I don't know... The latest PCars 2 trailer excited me more. Nurburgring in the snow, the car variety, rally. It also helps that that trailer was shot a lot better.
pCARS can look incredible, and pCARS 2 looks even better, so until we see OX footage of pCARS 2 and FM7 running side-by-side then it's a tricky one to judge. It'll be interesting to see how well SMS use that extra OX power, because FM7 looks almost effortlessly amazing. It'll be rock-solid 60fps with perfect v-synch too, Dan wouldn't have it any other way.
It's not just the drivers, it's things like the nightmare reports about getting bad ports like FH3 and Apex running well. I just want an easy life and I'm still not sure the PC can deliver on that front.
It's easy to compare visuals from a trailer, gameplay, not so much.
Sorry, I meant Graphics not Gameplay.
Ahh, ok, yeah, rereading your post it could have been misinterpreted!
Would be good to see side by side comparisons in time.

It looks great, but that means little to me if the SP career mode is still as sterile as the previous games. I want to see advancements in that mode before I buy another FM game.

T10 continues to impress. great job.
The preview reads like it's more like the Porsche and Nascar expansion they have done for 6 which sounds great.

Just a let down they presented it poorly

Ok, I only played the free weekend trial for FM6, so didn't get to play those. Is the preview you mention on Xbox Wire?

Honestly I wouldn't expect a revolution with FM7. FM series has always been very slow on adding new major gameplay improvements and new features. And in this case they have even more reasons to stray away from focusing on improving the gameplay, because their main job will be to showcase the XONE X's power. I expect this to be Forza 6 with better graphics, dynamic weather, more cars, some returning tracks and 1 brand new and revamped career mode.
I just truly hope Turn10 can deliver on the multiplayer homefront. That and the storefront need a serious overhaul for a more seamless, less buggy experience. I can't even recall how many ForzaGAF meets from F6 that took a bit to get going just due to multiplayer mishaps.
I mean dont get me wrong, day 0 for me especially being on Windows now....just makes a hell of a lot more sense (sorry guys I'll be back to tear that ass up again if there's crossplay).

That looks fantastic. Love the weather finally changing during races!!

We'll be able to do captures of the game at the MS Showcase this afternoon (LA time of course), so expect some 4k 60fps goodness by tomorrow

Thanks Blimblim for that high quality 4K gameplay and trailer... man that shit looks incredible..
Perfect Dark Zero comes to mind haha
Well, that's something I guess, but please say they have included qualifying at last........

This game looks amazing! Turn 10 does some incredible work. So excited to play this.

At least that's making a return. Now then, what about qualifying and adjustable race lengths?
Perfect Dark zero actually used Parallax Occlusion Mapping, which plenty of games do not use today, so that was actually pretty cool.

Looks like they are doing the thing with the release date again, where if you buy the Ultimate Edition you get it the Friday before, with the standard version releasing the following Tuesday:
September 29: Forza Motorsport 7 – Ultimate Edition - Xbox One
October 3: Forza Motorsport 7 – Standard Edition - Xbox One
Via Amazon description: "The Forza Motorsport 7 Ultimate Edition includes early access allowing you to play four days early beginning September 29, the Forza Motorsport 7 Car Pass, The Day One Car Pack, and VIP membership."

Good thing I don't have to buy the ultimate this year because I wont be playing the game until Scorpio releases anyway.

Also, the Ultimate Edition is listed at $79.99, a $20 gap from the standard edition. Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate and Forza 6 Ultimate were $99.99 if I remember correctly.

So GT has the better lighting, Forza 7 better everything else. Just like I thought!

So it's releasing a month before the XBOXX?
On the MS store its 99 bucks?
Is that a bit of an error?, I guess it depends on the release date of GTS.

Well lock in those Amazon preorders now then, because it's listed at $63.99 for Prime members!
No error. They said the release date during the conference.
No, I meant an error not to wait till the release of the XBOXX, it's not like they need to rush it out to steal sales from PCARS2, but maybe they have an idea of the GTS release date, and reckon they need to beat that?
Yeah no reason why they can't include basic options for people who want to set up ~20 lap races or qualify.
Not surprising. I think this is the first Forza where I won't buy the Ultimate Edition w/Car Pass/VIP etc. I mean the ~4 day head-start is great, but when the standard game ships with over 700 cars we're sort of getting to the point where a Car Pass is unnecessary.
They need to have a season pass that includes multiple tracks, not just another 7 cars every month of which 2-3 I'd actually use.
Do Polyphony even know about the GT Sport release date?
I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Probably not, but I'd imagine the smart money is on November.
Gotta say, this visually looks great. I'd be looking for major career mode enhancements in 7. Its gotta push the Motorsport aspect more, up to now, its been like "heres a collection of cars, race them on this open track day" it doesn't feel like a motorsports event is going on, maybe PCars2 or GT Sport will push this better.
I have been taking a break from FH3 for a bit and putting in a lot of time into FM6 to complete before FM7 releases, I have been having a lot of fun with FM6 despite its drawbacks.
EDIT: I wonder if they're using the same tech that Playground Games used for the skybox in FH3? It certainly looks like it.

FH3 has it and it works well, so I assume this will have it too.

I don't think it's because they're afraid of GTS, more likely they know that XBOX X sales aren't going to be huge so why piss off the fanbase and wait until November with a new Forza game.

Sweet. I prefer racing games structured like Forza vs Forza Horizon's open world thing. So I'll be picking this up on PC.
