I feel like I've heard this song and dance many times before. They boast about a new tire model every couple of games, or am I mis-remembering? There's lots of talent at Turn10 so I know they can create a hell of a game when they want (or are given the time to) but they always come out with a banger and then coast for a few years just recycling tracks and cars and adding small improvements here and there. I need an all new Forza Motorsport with a new lighting engine, better tire model, new cars, new tracks, more features to make the racing more competitive. I don't want to play FM5 with amazing graphics, I want to play something that feels fresh and new. Time will tell if this new title will be more what I'm hoping for, or more of the same bullshit just with shinier graphics.
What always pisses me off the most though, is how lazy they are about adding proper car models. We've had the same Gallardo and Subaru 22B for what seems like the beginning. They still use older models of cars that have been replaced or upgraded, like McLaren 720S vs 765LT. Infiniti Q60 is still a concept car. I know it costs time and money to go and make fresh car models and get sound recordings off the exhaust, but don't they have a team for that? It may seem petty, but for a complete car nerd, this shit is important.
