Speaking of Microsoft’s representative racing game series, the Forza series, it has not released a new game in 6 years since the launch of Forza Motorsport 7 in 2017. In recent years, it has mainly focused on the open-world derivative work Forza Motorsport. “: Horizon” series, “Forza Motorsport” which will be launched next Tuesday, in addition to being an authentic sequel to the series, it can be found that it does not bear the name of the 8th generation. It can be seen that Microsoft really wants to re- Polish this IP and bring it back to its original intention of a racing game with a new look.
Different from the festive and lively atmosphere of the “Forza Horizon” series, “Forza Motorsport” focuses the game on various events, vehicles, and detailed modification and tuning elements. Therefore, before the launch, Microsoft specially set up a game in its Taiwan office A media preview session was held, and racing driver Kiki Gong Weiyi was invited to speak out and share the gaming experience brought by “Forza Motorsport”.
The most obvious improvement in “Forza Motorsport” is the graphics. Every track in the game is tailor-made for the new generation of players. The game not only upgrades the accuracy of the vehicle physics engine and improves the fine details of the racing track, but also adds an advanced car body damage system and real-time ray tracing effects to restore the real racing scene. The purpose is to create the highest level racing car currently. Game screen.
For example, this time “Forza” not only overturns, but also actually rolls. The damage to the car body and broken glass after the crash are also clearly visible, and the way the car moves due to the collision is more realistic. The impact of weather on the track surface is also quite significant. During the trial experience, the author started to rain heavily after the second lap. At this time, I can find that the road feel is completely different. The corners that could have been easily turned suddenly suddenly became difficult. Made mistakes again and again.
With the support of advanced light tracing technology, the light and shadow reflections of the car body are also extremely realistic. Usually when playing from the outside perspective of the car, there is no rear mirror, so if you want to observe the dynamics of the vehicle behind you, you need to use the right joystick to quickly switch between different modes. But this “Forza Motorsport” can even use the reflected light from the rear headlights of your own car to determine how close the car behind you is, and prepare to overtake from the right or left, etc. For Kiki, Microsoft is also very careful in the selection of tracks. Kiki specifically pointed out that compared to the Suzuka in Japan, the Nürburgring in Germany, etc. that are common in other games, “Forza Motorsport” even includes South Africa. The Kayalami track surprised her.
Forza is also a real-time, player-connected and ever-changing racing platform that grows alongside the Forza player community. The core value of the game is not to collect all 500 cars as the goal, but to allow players to find the car that best represents themselves. Forza Motorsport establishes a new gameplay loop where players can continuously learn through the game and improve themselves on the track in a fun and approachable way.
Even if players are not familiar with the sport or the rules of racing, new game systems built into Forza, such as the Car Mastery corner scoring system, Forza competition rules and car building, encourage natural learning and allow players to compete for achievements. Be successful and develop your skills. Kiki added that although players may not have enough funds to carry out major vehicle modifications at the beginning of the game, with the accumulation of competition experience and bonuses, they can gradually adjust or upgrade, and they can also learn a lot of vehicle knowledge, which is also a reward. .
