Driving Blind in Forza Motorsport (The Coolest Feature You Didn't Know Existed)

- One of the coolest features in the new Forza Motorsport is its groundbreaking blind accessibility. Using audio cues, you can play this game completely blind. It's a fun challenge for sighted racers, but especially awesome for blind and visual impaired people to finally be able to join in on the fun. I'm so excited to be able to share racing and video games, two of my favorite hobbies, with more people who weren't able to experience them before. Definitely try this out for yourself!
Brendan, wow! Thank you so much for sharing this! I am a blind player who used to see, and I love this game! It’s awesome to see a cited player trying these features and showing them in a video. If you’re curious, I have a race replay that I’ve shared in the game. If you search for “no assists” in the description, my replay is called Blind Driving. There’s a great spin out in it, and it was fun to do! Hope you enjoy it. Thanks again, you rock! :) have subscribed, and will check out your other videos. cheers!
Love it! Thanks for watching! It's so awesome getting to share two of my favorite things- racing and gaming- with a whole new community of people who couldn't enjoy either before. Cheers!
I’m also a totally blind player who plays this game as well as other video games. I’m glad to see that a person who is fully sided promote this kind of stuff.
This is so cool!! Thank you for showing this. I saw they won an award for this and the fact that you could play blind blew my mind! So awesome and thoughtful
Driving a car without knowing its curves and roads is a bit hard. Especially the curves are different from what I think.
Actually I lost my vision when I was 7 years old, of course I don’t remember the curves and roads at all.
I recognize the physical world, that’s what I mean.
I think it’s easy to turn the curves at your speed, but it’s very hard to turn the curves at high speeds (for example, 5th gear etc.). Maybe the game’s steering sounds are not working well at these speeds.
I think I’m a good player, but it’s been 5 days since I’ve played and I haven’t won any race in any race, online tours and computer games included, and that’s only because I don’t know how to turn the curves correctly.
I have a few tips that will hopefully help. First thing to do is go into your accessibility menu and make sure the sound cues are set to maximum distance. This will give you the most time to react as possible. As far as driving tips, there are a few fundamentals that will help. The first thing to do is make sure you're using the geometric racing line. That means starting on the outside of the corner, turning to hit the apex on the inside of the corner, and exiting back to the outside again. This is the called opening up a corner, and it allows you to use the least turning input possible, meaning you have more grip to play with and can go through the corner at a higher speed. If you're still not making the corner, for instance if you're washing out wide after turning in, that usually means you have too much understeer. Understeer is where the front tires lose grip, refusing to turn the car, and slide across the track. You can fix understeer with a few different techniques. First, is the slow-in, fast-out approach. Enter the corner slower, but get back on the gas earlier to improve your exit. Any time you lose on the entry, you'll make back up on the exit. If you're going slower but still getting understeer, try dropping down a gear. This will help the car naturally rotate. Thirdly, and this one is the most counterintuitive, but on some corners, sometimes if you're trying to break and turn at the same time, you're limiting how much grip the car has for rotation because you're using the grip for slowing instead. So if you actually lift off on the break, the car will get a bit more grip and be able to turn more. And finally, build up your speed around the track slowly. Take each lap slightly faster than the last and learn how much you can push. This will help you approach the true limit without going over as often. Give those tips a try and let me know how it goes! I'm happy to offer more pointers as well.
@@brendangrant6028 Thanks. I'm slowly getting the hang of turning corners. However, I still have problems at high speeds.
I think the beeps coming from the right and left sound a little delayed. And when the position of the car changes after turning the steering wheel in the game, the sound reaches me late.
It has i7 12700h 16 gb ddr4 ram and ssd. I don't think there is a problem with the hardware.
Anyway. I would like to thank the engineers who thought of this, but it is not possible for me to compete in this way with a player who does not have vision loss.
Hi Brendan. Awesome that a sighted person as yourself shows this to the TH-cam community. While blind now, I used to be sighted long ago and played the very first Forza on my Xbox back in the day. How much I want to love this new blind accessibility game, its gets me frustrated than is healthy;) I just cannot get my head around all those audio queues, while also able to enjoy all other sounds in the game. I've experimented with sound and pitch levels of the queues, but cannot seem to hit the sweet spot yet. I use good quality headpones (which I'd rather not, but looks like a nessicity). Normally as a blind person my hearing is much more sensitive.better than sighted people, but begin to doubt my ears. Because I see lots more blind people play this on TH-cam with much better results. I heard you talking about paddles, you do use a racing wheel then? Would it be helpful for me as well do you think?
Thanks for watching! I'm sorry to hear it's been a frustrating experience for you so far. My first time trying was also quite frustrating because I wanted to love it and I wanted it to be great but it didn't come naturally at all. But with practice, it got better and I started having fun. I have two recommendations for starting out. First would be to only listen to the beeping cues that tell you when you're close to the edge of the track and nothing else. This will help you stay centered in the road and give you the most room for error without going off. It's slower that way, but a lot easier to reduce mistakes. Just try to ignore the sound of the car as best you can until you start to get the hang of it and find that you aren't going off track as much. Second, use only like 10% throttle when just starting out so that you don't have to worry about breaking as you're learning a new track. Once you feel like you've memorized all the corners, then you can start to push with more speed and listening for the beeping cue that tells you when you're too fast for the corners. As for using a racing wheel, I personally love it because I love the feeling of simulating being in the actual car. Once you start to get the hang of it with a controller and find you're having fun, then it's a good time to invest in a wheel and pedal set. A great place to start would be the logitech G29 or G920.
@@brendangrant6028 Thanks for the headsup. I think I want too much too fast;) Like competing in the Career mode without any driving assists for instance:) I will concentrate on the track limits, which I found to be the most important already. Lower speeds I have tried also and is a good idea. There was a blind guy who suggested manual gears for this same purpose. Although a driving wheel looks cool, I first have to get a lot better.
I think this is super cool
I noticed thus second or 3rd day, i only noticed it because i have a blind father in law. I did debate trying it, but at 81, its a bit hard to learn new things 😅
May challenge the kids to it mind, could be a cool time trial.
I'm blind myself, so I use these assists. What wheel are you using? And as a sighted person trying out the blind assists, do you notice a benefit to the force feedback?
I'm using a Logitech G29 wheel with Thrustmaster TLCM pedals and playing on a PC. I love the force feedback. It helps you feel so much more, like when the car is sliding, when you go over bumps or curbs, or when you're driving on different surfaces like if you go off track into the dirt or grass.
Nice. Shortly after I posted that original comment, I bought myself a Thrustmaster T248, and am absolutely loving it. I can't seem to drive very effectively on controler, but the wheel makes so much more sense to me personally. This game has really made history, and I'm just waiting for the modding seen to bring something like these blind driving features to games like Assetto Corsa and ACC.
