A number of gaming publications have already published preliminary reviews of the future racing simulator Forza Motorsport. And the majority reported that they enjoyed the demo, although it did not allow us to fully find out what game awaits us in a month.
Six years have passed since the release of Forza Motorsport 7. And in front of the studio Turn 10 there is a difficult task: to prove that the series is still competitive in comparison with the games that have come out during this time.
Some of the changesincluded in the usual formula Forza, catch your eye and can become something completely new. In particular, Forza Motorsport tries to get closer to real racing: practice sessions give players the opportunity to learn the layout of the track and test their skills by comparing lap times. Overly aggressive drivers can also be penalized for their actions, although given the relatively short running time of Forza racing, these penalties may not have the same effect as in the real world.
At the start of the game they give us choose the difficulty level of the drives, and it will affect the bonuses. For example, if you are excellent at cornering and driving the car, at the eighth difficulty level you can get 50% more points.
The menu also allows you to select rules. And, if we choose a full simulation of damage, fuel and tire wear, and also disable the fast scrolling of the race, we will receive an additional +10% bonus.
We can get all the rewards invest in the development of your favorite car, although the demo version does not allow you to get acquainted with this system in its entirety. Experienced racers can select components manually, but others will be able to improve the car with one button.
Journalists note, that at first glance the game seems to be the same Forza Motorsport 7, 6 or 5, only with a number of cosmetic changes. However, a little more in-depth exploration of Forza Motorsport reveals that there are fundamental innovations made to the game’s mechanics that make the new title feel more like a simulator than an arcade racing game.
Responsiveness in racing games is of utmost importance, and Turn 10 understands this very well. The studio has prioritized correctly to achieve 1080p and 60 FPS even on the Xbox Series S, and the result is a game that looks beautiful but also plays beautifully. Ray-traced global illumination and dynamic lighting make cars and roads sparkle, and highway environments are vibrant without being distracting.
Forza Motorsport will go on sale October 10 on Xbox Series and PC, including Steam. Subscribers Game Pass will have access to it on the first day. And those who buy the Premium Edition will be able to start playing on October 5th.
