That was my exact feeling when I played Forza Motorsport 6 so I am happy to hear an impression like this.
Yeah I'm looking forward to that. Also looking forward to seeing what Karak, Inside Sim Racing and Luke Reilly at IGN
(only reviewer I can trust at IGN)
What about 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare'?
Yeah, OK, I'll give you that . . . .
Dammit indeed. I really hope they get things ironed out quickly. I dropped Horizon(different dev I know) due to similar issues I experienced in the demo. Granted now Horizon runs pretty great all around but it took some time to get there and I was hopeful this games release would incorporate whatever magic was used there.

Holy shit, the usual suspects getting so angry because of the scores are this worried already? Going to be a bloodbath when the big name reviews come out and when Forza 7 inevitably wins racing GOTY everywhere.
You admitted to never owning an Xbox multiple times on the past, but this commment proves youve never touched a Forza game in your life. Jesus, your post history. /cringe
How are you still a member here...?
Edit: beaten badly lol. Seems I'm not the only one to notice.

Yeah, my problem with a lot of outlets is just that many critics aren't real into racing games, so, they sometimes tend to pawn the game off to whoever's willing to review it.
Which doesn't mean their opinion is invalid, just, that's not the impression I'm really looking for.

Loved the demo, in particular the new dash cam and added atmosphere from the subtle camera shake and moving parts.
So glad it looks like the game has also improved. I drove with all assists off and it felt demanding enough to take skill without becoming annoying.
Keen to hold off until my Xbox X arrives.

That part from Gamesradar sound great.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
We've got a few videos from the PC version up (only got our review code yesterday) if you want
http://www.gamersyde.com/news_forza_7_final_pc_build_videos-19547_en.html
So something we noticed in another thread: On my setup on max settings, the water spray has proper edge filtering, so you don't get an obvious cutoff against the back of the car and the road surface, and the tread aqua-trail looked as expected.
At least one other person though was getting that sort of "banding" look where the alpha effect overlapped, and an oddly opaque tread aqua-trail. Your footage on the Nurb seems to have those issues as well. Any chance you have insight on this? I haven't been able to re-create the problem on my setup, but it's obviously wider-reaching than just one or two people.

Can't wait to see what Metacritic settles at, but I don't think I'd be wrong in saying I see some big bonuses coming T10's way
Racers call rain the great equalizer for good reason. Having raced slicks in the rain at amateur level, the feel of "3d puddles" added in 6 is quite good.
Yeah, errrr, that's what I said isn't it?

I'm not a big racing fan (last one I played was NFS underground), but I'll be picking this up to showcase my XBX. Glad to hear the reviews are positive, perhaps I'll end up really enjoying it.

What's will be next? "GT, the real driving simulator" is not a driving simulator.
Just ordered a 32" curved monitor for my racing seat setup.
Getting more excited, LOL.
Now I need a stand to mount at the right level in front of my seat/wheel.
I'll be using my wheel setup with my PC rather than my Xbox One (giving to my girls) and Xbox One X (will be in entertainment center downstairs). Shame my wheel setup doesn't work with my PS4 as is. I'll be able to play Horizon 3, PCars, and Forza 7 on my single setup though. May have to buy another darn wheel to play GT:S on my setup.

This really applies to all simulations (or games that claim to be simulations) whether it's racing or flying or soccer. They're not games in quite the same way and can't usefully be reviewed like them by people who have no knowledge (or limited knowledge) of what is being simulated. The ratings and the aggregates tend to have no bearing on reality when it comes to these games.
Christ dude, we get it.
No console racer is a true simulator or Motorsport.
Time to get on with your life already.

You really like to dig in on the wierdest things. I never said that. Call it what you want, doesnt matter to me. Many people who favor a heavy sim side do not like the fact that it is called Motorsport when it doesnt actully focus on the sport of racing and is more car porn and sim-ish (for a console). I think it has a decent niche and I enjoy my time with it.
To be fair most people aren't going to care, unless it's a sim racing outlet or the vehicle physics are particularly noteworthy.
I will probably get this eventually on the One X, but I'm in no rush. The challenge and allure of driving modern sports cars just kind of falls apart for me when the game doesn't simulate their fancy driving dynamics and suspension setups. I'm sure it's a good game though, Turn 10 has this whole Forza Motorsport thing down to a science.
I'd guess reviewers are in a potentially awkward position with the three big racing games releasing so closely, so they're withholding hard declarations until they get a sense of the scene, and how the online features play out in the real world.

This is what I always think of when I see people complain about how bad the drivatars are. They are in fact mimicking what their real life counterparts 'drive' like.

Genius of Turn 10 to take the experience of getting rammed online to the single player
Old joke was old in 2013.
Drivatars for all of their warts and occasional frustrations are still far more interesting than plain AI npc drivers.

The idea was good in theory. Bad in execution perhaps.
I don't have a problem with them personally but they probably should revisit it and perhaps smooth it out a bit.
So my kid is finally getting old enough to play sorta well. I already preordered the digital version on my main account for play anywhere. We have a couple gaming PCs and an Xbox one.
What do I need in order to play with him? Would we need a disk copy (or copy of the game on his account) also? Would he need Xbox Live on his account (not happening)?
His PC is currently logged into my Win10 store account since family sharing sucks. That's how he plays single player play anywhere.

They showed Nascar racing on the live stream yesterday in free play so it quite likely there's a Nascar event during one of the championship series. They're available to buy as long as you have the credits or the right collector level

Ever heard of Assetto Corsa? The sim community consider it a good sim.
An important consideration for a sim is and will always be performance. Outside of playing on a PS4 Pro in boost mode, AC doesn't perform well on consoles. It's why it's not as prominent as it is in the PC scene, in spite of a solid sim framework.

Being quite the casual fan of sims (but loving open worlds like NFS Rivals and FH2), is there a real reason for me to get this over FM6?
I guess it'll look prettier on XBOX, but I'm not getting one.

If they are going to slap Motorsport on the title, at some point can we at least get some damn qualifying, flag rules, and damn championships with points. Physics aside, which are already weird on a wheel, these are some pretty basic things to include in a racing game of this genre.

£44 for the ultimate edition.
Buy some MS points in Rubles (3,500) Google translate the hell out of the page (unless you speak Russian), enter codes and buy.
I'll take that.
I was going to skip Forza and maybe wait until the 1x but too much of a bargain to resist....

More tracks than FM6. More weather options. More interesting single player campaign. Homologation in races. New dash cam.
Yep, and on console where I prefer to play it offers rather poor performance which impairs my enjoyment of it compared to FM. If I wanted to mess around on PC with it I'd just do Iracing anyway.
As someone who liked (but didn't love) FM6, reading some of the impressions/reviews of how 7 compares sounds great. Loved the demo too and it ran beautifully on my PC. Can't wait to start playing!
So go play that then?
