I promise no meltdowns from me incoming. But I will sensibly chuckle, and maybe HaHa anyone who advertises "Day 1". Will always snicker when marketing lingo tries to redefine basic words.
These look really goodSome new photomode and Forzavista screens

Forza is one I always throw them the extra money as I put a lot of hours into their games so I will be in early access 100%
wonder if the early access will cause GAF to have a meltdown
After the complete silence around a similar scheme for BG3 and the current silence around Mortal Kombat’s similar plans, It’ll probably be hard to push meltdowns again over Forza. But we’ll see.
All previews confirm RT on track. More reading, less snark?
I'll never criticize a gamer for buying / playing the games they want. My side eyes are reserved for sellers who equate run-of-the-mill puffery with proposed new paragraphs to Webster's Dictionary.Forza is one I always throw them the extra money as I put a lot of hours into their games so I will be in early access 100%

Im getting the add-on for the VIP stuff, car pass, and x2 earnings. The early access is a nice bonus to that.

Looks and sounds awful, how long have we been waiting for a mainline forza entry? that's simply not good enough, 30fps gameplay, no RT after all the rubbish they stated back when it was revealed, this is a joke.

That's weird they did not show a build with RT in gameplay in today's gameplay video.RT reflections is on during gameplay on every car but with dynamic 4K resolution at "locked" 60fps running on SSX.
But on that screen the resolution clearly takes a hit, maybe a setting to get 4K (or closer) without RT.

There is a native 4k60 mode which they showed in all there gameplay video's, which is stupid with all that compression anyway.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Every car is an overkill, most people would be ok with the player car and cars in certain proximity.
If they're able to get it and retain the staple air-tight 60 FPS they do, that'd be pretty impressive.

- No RT at 4K 60FPS
- RT at dynamic res 60FPS
- RT at 4K at 30FPS
2 graphics modes on XSS

- (Presumably since they don't say) fixed 1440p at 30FPS, no RT
- No RT at 4K 60FPS
- RT at dynamic res 60FPS
- RT at 4K at 30FPS

Menus look lighter and snappier than FM7.

Those are from photo mode I think. Although maybe it looks the same in-game in the modes with RT.

Lighting looks really good in his footage and that wide fov looks soo much better in the cockpit.
-Modes: 4K 60 FPS, DRS 4K 60fps RT, 4K 30fps. RTDuring the race.
It looks like RT will be present in pre-race scenes, replays, and cutscenes in all modes.
- Night races now feature dynamic shadows. Your car lights, other car lights, even track lights cast dynamic shadows, and it makes for a cool racing experience at night time.
-Track detail are super
The new gameplay looks great. Animated pit stops and cutscenes greatly enhance the atmosphere. The replays (with RT) seem much better finished and with camera shots and more television effects... In general, very good news. It remains to know the DRS margins up to 4K in RT 60fps mode.

Thats 100% ingame and you can notice the drop in resolution and motion blur samples in favor of RT reflections.

Looking much better.
The thing that's actually standing out to me is the sound, it's a much improved mix compared to 7 (in terms of road/tire noise etc).

This will be my first time really trying a sim racer. Thinking of it like an RPG would be great. I just hope it's accessible to me at all. Even Horizon is more sim than most racers I play.Couple of written previews

So there's 2 Ray tracing modes.
Performance RT with variable resolution scaling.
4K 30 Ray tracing Quality mode
I'll be honest. That's disappointing.

We should really have had a new thread. Thread title doesn’t line up with the previews dropping today.
Serious post? These are $499 RDNA 2 consoles.
Build a powerful PC if you want 4K 60+ fps with RT

I put one up, will update it with more videos and such so it can catch more people interested

Yes it's a serious post. No serious sim racer should ever have a 30fps option. Ever.

Bruh, I had to dig out my dictionary to see if the meaning of the word ‘option’ had changed.
It has the modes that works for you. You’re actually disappointed they added an option for edge cases?
This may well be the strangest post I’ve seen here in a while.
