Just console warring nonsense as per then
You realize this is a thread about reviews?

Being critical of a first party game isn’t console warring.
I just added my opinion on how the game will perform. I can’t help you if that triggers you (for obvious reasons).
Where’s the critique?
“It’s going to flop lol” doesn’t count.
I’m not the one triggered enough to post about sales flop in a thread about review

I suspect it won’t resonate with players despite Turn 10 taking years off to make this reboot.Where’s the critique?

Can you point me to a video where the raytracing mode is turned on then?
I'm more than willing to be wowed by Forza's RT.

Both.
Sim players on PC have so many options now. I doubt Forza will be sim enough for them. We’ll have to see how the new physics are and if wheel driving feels better, but I’m not expecting miracles.

I seem to remember some open wheel action from one of their promo videos, but it definitely didn’t look like a F1 car.. more like an older Indy

Sim players had just as many options on PC when FM7 was released. Forza Motorsport pretends to but doesn't really go for the hardcore sim crowd, they go for the middle ground, people who want a Gran Turismo type experience on PC/Xbox. I enjoy Forza because it is by far the best simulator to play on a gamepad, I can't always be arsed to get the wheel out for Assetto Corsa/Automobilista so Forza scratches that itch. Also a proper single player ala Gran Turismo is something it has over the PC sims.

I don't have the game so unfortunately not and the only footage I've seen is GIFs.
Elder Legend
has the game so we can wait for his review, I'm sure it will be covered.

These are the reviews I will pay attention to:
- Billy Strange
- Super GT
- Dave Cam
- Jardier
- Jimmy Broadbent
- GamerMuscle
- James Baldwin (if he even plays it, he might well not even bother)
- Dan Suzuki
- Race beyond matter
- Simracing 604

He's covered the horizon games before:
- YouTube
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
www.youtube.com
And also done some random streams of the older Forza games. Provided he has time he tends to at least do a stream for pretty much every new major racing game release, so it will be interesting to see if he covers this one.

He always plays Forza games on release AFAIK but he drops off them pretty quick

Before you start listening to your own opinion, better ask people here if you're shilling for one side or the other so you know if you can trust your review.

GT7 now with the updates is easily a 90+ game. Easily!
But it was not when released and that is how they score …

These are the same people I want to hear from as well. Wonder if they even have early access to the game. I have a feeling it may be better for Turn 10 if sim racing content creators don't get their opinion out on it before release.
I'm trying to keep my expectations low to avoid disappointment, but hoping it turns out to be good.

Is it only me who feels like this release is like... strange?
The games going to be fantastic, no doubt about it.
But FMS was always like Halo's companion, these titles were always seen as like Events, you know they'd like wheel some concept car on stage then nasa will like drive a car on the moon for MS (obviously not I'm just being silly) and these games were always like a huge deal.
This doesn't seem like an event? Like it should do. Am I the only one?
Do we think maybe the horizon series kind of overtook and stole the thunder, or are racing games in general just of an abundance that another one doesn't seem to make much of a difference

Yes, Horizon is now the showcase game that attracts people, Motorsport has gotten more niche as time went on, it's too dry and serious for casual players, but not hardcore enough to attract serious simracers. Sales wise it peaked with Forza 3 and 4, Xbox One entries have gotten less and less sales with each entry which prompted this reboot in the first place. This is T10's last chance to turn things around otherwise they will become a support studio for Playground.Is it only me who feels like this release is like... strange?

Out of 500 cars how come about 495 of them run on oil , 6/10 final score for not enough electric cars and less than 21 genders to choose from

From what I've seen the only negative thing about the game is the 20 track locations where as I think fm7 had 37 and gt7 released with 34 locations and almost double the amount of layouts , it's hard to justify that u have half the amount of locations of rival game and Ur last game that came out 6 years ago tbh.
Yes I know they are built from the ground up but they should've atleast released 30 tracks on launch 20 for me personally is too low of a number.
I'll be there day 1 on gp but that 20 tracks people will get bored pretty soon

The majority of these are more into hardcore sims. Forza won't be your thing if your into iRacing/Assetto Corsa. If Gran Turismo is your type of game you should be ok.

Agreed, even if they couldn't scan and rebuild all the real tracks you'd think they could add all the fantasy tracks from all the previous games.

Yeah and call them legacy tracks or something and then keep on slowly updating them , yet here we are after 6 years with 20 track locals those tracks from Dubai in fm7 were amazing even they didn't made the cut.
20 tracks in a 2023 game after a 6 years hiatus is just too low tbh

Gonna be bold and guess this will score somewhere between 0 and 100. Feeling pretty confident. Enough to make a jizz bet withBanjo64

Ass of Can Whooping
has sucked me permanently dry:The career mode and progression system will be extremely marmite. Most seasoned players seem to dislike the system T10 have implemented, though admittedly the haven't tried it yet. The game is also missing many important circuits, both real world like Nordschleife, Monza, Brands Hatch, and Forza originals.
I feel Motorsport will also be unfairly compared to Horizon by those more inclined to arcade racers. While the sim crowd will still have grumbles about phyics and other aspects like online racing. I feel Super GT was holding back on criticism when he was previewing it.
I'll go 82-88. Really depends on which outlets are reviewing it, some of the sim oriented sites & channels are unlikely to be on Metacritic.

Looks like the embargo lifts on October 4th in Australia, which means October 3rd in the US:
06:01pm AEST Oct 4th equates to 3:01am EST Oct 3rd in the US.

Back when the initial trailer was shown. We heard constantly how this game would destroy it’s competitor. Now a few years later the hype level is pretty low and even a few of the biggest sim racers weren’t really blown away.
Horizon has pretty much destroyed the Motorsport franchise already. Horizon was fun because it was arcady from its origin. Motorsport doesn’t look like it will have the same hype level as it’s competitor this time around.

My review is finished and is scheduled to go live on October 4th, 12:01 AM PT/3:01 AM EST.
It's a whopping 3600 or so words and is 20 minutes long in video length at 4K 60 capture running on a 4090 RTX, Ryzen 7950 X and 64 GB of DDR5.
Stay tuned!

As someone who plays a ton of ACC and GT, everything I've seen of FM8 makes me confident that this game will be a disappointment. Early impressions from people I trust have also been pretty underwhelming. There's a lack of tracks at launch, FFB is supposedly bad (as usual), AI looks rough, car models look bad, some track details are worse than FM7, etc.
Maybe the career mode will have enough variety to boost reviews, but the questionable racing experience and poor attention to detail makes me think high 70s to low 80s.
