    I wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts on the new game, J-2. :) For me, I haven't played Forza in years, and looking back the series peaked at FM4, IMO.


    FM 2023...Worst Forza ever made. Period. They had extra development time, they had plenty of content and features available not from previous titles, added since this very game, and they delivered an uncomplete mess of issues and missing content. Cars, factory colors, tracks and some variants, features...so much is missing.

    And of course...'built from the ground up'...no. The FM1/FM2 inaccurate models are still there (the 22B at least is supposed to have been redone, need to check that) cars that were fine have several issues now, tracks are not even up to date (Spa is several years old, Barcelona only updated the layout, not the surroundings, and as stated, variants are missing such as the Club one) the livery editor is worse than ever, the photo mode didn't get anything new from FH5, just a handful of career races available at launch, and none for racing cars...and way more things. And don't get me even more started on issues, hundreds of known and reported ones. It's just a very unpleasing experience. PC version is awful, the popping is so bad the track disappears and reappears every single second, people with RTX 4090 and 64gb RAM have the same issue, it's literally unplayable right now.

    I know they want to play the long game here, but they do need to take drastic measures now unless their plan is to kill the Motorsport division based on poor reception, and just focus on Horizon, FH5 is very well loved in comparison. Played every single Forza since the first one, and never had such a bad feeling on day one before, again, FM5 feels like a GOTY in comparison. I defended Forza when it was fair to do so, but this doesn't deserve that, I can't believe the team looked at this and thought 'yeah, fans will love that, release it!' Sad thing is I wasn't expecting a revolution here, just FM7 as a foundation, with better physics (I do have to say they are really great, not everything is bad) but this feels like FM5, but worse in every way.

    I remember it as a very enjoyable game despite the cut content, as compared to FM 2023...this feels like a GOTY in comparison. This was way more solid, stable and well done from the first second, with FM 2023 they had way more development time and well...let's just say they have tons of work ahead.

    Yeah.Total 325 cars.Turn 10 was hurry made this Forza Motorsport.


    That is true, it was rushed to meet the release window of the Xbox One in 2013, so they had the same amount of time to create it as the previous titles (2 years) and even though the amount of cut content was not much justified (many returning cars were brought straight from FM4, both good and bad models) the visuals were amazing, the new engine allowed finally for open-wheeled cars among others...
