One funny thing about the AI at the highest difficulty is that once you actually overtake them, they just give up - they forget how to drive and end up crashing/or taking unusual lines to lose time so it makes the overtake feel way less satisfying/rewarding.
The worst part is, having played the crap out of FH4, I can assure you the AI is similar. Same with 5, but to a bigger degree. They somehow managed to make their AI even worse than before not once, but twice
Halo Infinite and Forza Motorsport have some things in common: -Built from the ground up -6 years of development +delays --Washed out visuals -Lacking features and content at launch -No split screen -Broken functionalities -"platform for the next 10 years"
A lot of devs can't tell the difference between useless time sinks and progression. We should spend time on the game because we want to, not because we have to.
I havent even got to experience the crappy progression system because it runs so bad on my Intel/Nvidia desktop. I have an all AMD laptop that Im going to try on but dang Im disappointed and I didn't even buy it. I grew up with forza series and really want to play it.
@HammySigvard he is, but he also ain't wrong. What Forza games are really worth spending time playing? FM4, maybe FM5/6, FH1, FH2, FH3. Can't say anything else besides those tbh.
It’s cuz Dan Greenawalt isn’t the developer anymore. EVERY single Forza game since 2005 has been with Dan Greenawalt since the beginning and this is the first crappy Forza to come out without Tag in multiplayer and lots of other things.
Why would anyone buy Forza when it's available for pretty much free using game pass? I buy 1 month game pass codes for around $2 a pop from key sellers.
lol that's why they're releasing these games on game pass, just so they can brag about the total amount of people that played the game. I'm sure these games aren't even able to turn a profit
Finally someone who’s invested in the series and knows what they are talking about gives it a fair critique. All points are absolutely true and valid, it’s a baffling and incredibly disappointing game. I’ve played every Forza game at launch, except for 5, and this is easily the biggest let down in the entire franchise.
You’re telling me you have seen these glitches on your play through of the game? How come out of all the videos I’ve seen of this game NOT ONE has show any glitches? This guy is lying and for what? It’s disgraceful!
@@nolangeorge9374 bro you can literally download it if you have xbox gamepass for 10 bucks. I'll even give you a free trial gamepass if you reply so you can see how garbage this game is. 10700 3080 and it looks "meh" and has tons of graphical glitches. Also the AI is terrible and will make you want to quit after the first race if you have played a decent racing game in your life. They need to patch it. I miss NFS shift 2 even with it's faults.
@@pjisleta1994 Improved what exactly? The multiplayer is nearly identical to sport and the single player is worse. I guess if you like RNG/gatcha they added raffle tickets...?
@@ddrod the thing is, yall talking shit on a game you dont even need to buy... i played the previous motor sport game for years. never paid for it. didtn pay for starfield. FH4, FH5, motorspots, PGA tour, ... its actually impossible for gamepass to not be worth it if you actually play video games. as long as you keep 3 games in your rotation. i get over 2000 dollars worth of value in a year for abotu 120 dollars.
@@almightysamwhich4203 why, would you buy a game before it comes out? fucking wild concept. its not like its 2005 and there is only a certain number of physical disks available.
This review is SPOT. FUCKING. ON. This is like my inner thoughts turned into an video. I just said to my friends 2 days ago "this game has a 9/10 potential, but it was released in a 4/10 state"
I am so happy I quit racing games before the microtransaction sh*tshow that is modern racing games. Gran Turismo V was my last modern racing game. And honestly, it has more cars baseline than this entire game does.
@@goldenhate6649 You can still play the game and ignore microtransactions, you're just looking for the most ridiculous excuses to not play racing games, you could just say you're bored or something
All of this for $70 while you could get a decently working used Xbox 360 with all the cables/controller for $50 and Forza Motorsport 4 for around $10 - $20. I got my 360 for $20 from a goodwill auction, FM4 for around $15 and a Logitech Drive FX wheel for $35 off of ebay for the rest and having a blast! I'm doing this shit is out of spite.
Execs and producers: "Put all focus on the transaction page" I do hate how badly and how much smoke devs get whenever a game is released that is bad due to their producers hindering them every step of the way.
we were promised community-building features and yet...no clubs like the old days, no searchable lobbies, and no creative hubs whatsoever, wtf is T10 doing? features like this made the community thrive in FM4's time.
Does anybody knows what TF happened after FM4 ? We all know it was the perfect iteration of the game. All they had to do was to build upon that base into next gen.
Imagine developing a game for over half a decade, with said game intended to be a reboot of a franchise, and it ends up being worse than the worst games in the franchise before the reboot. Real shame. Also, welcome back again Shiny! (in video form at least)
The problem is retards keep buying, so the companies are happy to just give the money to their shareholders instead of actually putting time into the games
It is but the racing games genre is something special ohhh boy is it a giant clusterf*ck of a show. Any gane that was enjoyable and not just mediocre good was sent to the shadow real or its successor have completely ruined its legacy, Driveclub is an example of that a game that was ahed of others and surprisingly get this get this..........people enjoyed playing it.
They’re making more money than ever and putting out absolute garbage. At some point you’ve got to blame consumers. Most gamers are addicts and will pay to play anything, no matter how much they’re warned that the game is garbage.
The fact the restart and skip options are in the 'exit' submenus is a clear example that the people making the game lack fundamental understanding of how any game should work, and the standards and practices developed not just for the entire industry over the past 30 years, but for their own specific franchise have just been lost to time.
i remember when forza vs gran turismo used to mean they were competing to be better than each other, now it seems they’re at odds to see who can make a shittier excuse for a main series racing title
Gt was the oposite to this, it was a very polished game , it was neat but it lacked q lot of content, this one is more on the clusterfuck side but it has a lot of content
@@chrismusiclover9893 not everything is about graphics to me and I’m not like other people. There’s many other things the new Forza is lacking to what it once had.
I'm convinced AAA devs nowadays never played the past titles of the one they're working on. They always want to start from scratch and introduce new things but seem to always miss because they removed what made past titles great...
well considering this is a "reboot" of the franchise and how poor FM7 was for majority of people that wanted a motorsport game to be sim and not arcade (if you want arcade go play forza horizon) they had to build from the ground up which is why we dont have any tracks we had in other motorsports yet because they are still working on updating them to the new games handling model and updating track layouts to better represent the irl track.
And the most confusing part about all of this is that this Forza Motorsport has the *same* director who has been here since Forza 1. He's the same guy behind Forza Motorsport 2,3, and 4, which are seen as the best games in the franchise And yet he managed to mess up this game
The fact the restart and skip options are in the 'exit' submenus is a clear example that the people making the game lack fundamental understanding of how any game should work, and the standards and practices developed not just for the entire industry over the past 30 years, but for their own specific franchise have just been lost to time.
6 years to recycle even fh1 models, this is the true triple A experience we expected from turn10. No wonder why they have been killing the series after releasing fh3
Ya I truly stopped playing forza after FM3. FM2 and FM3 will always be my favs. The new Forza is honestly even worse than FM7 with only 500 vehicles and the multiplayer just sucks compared to FM7 I miss the Tag Virus mode.
That's because Turn 10 has been actually contracting people outside of studio to make car models for them. This is the reason for inconsistency.@@Shinyodd
@@CJW0056 sure, but you really can't argue the fact that polyphony has a higher quality and consistency in their car assets, so the fact that it's contracted is irrelevant.
6 months later and i honestly cant find a single improvement. its still lags, it still has plenty of rendering issues, loading screens can still softlock the game, i spent more time in the loading screen than i did in a race at nürburgring.
Thanks for confirming what I suspected. I can't believe that almost a decade of development and it's as unfinished and broken as it is. Unbelievable. Turn 10 has become a scummy company run by people who don't even know the basic fundamentals of a video game
@@timmyrandomvideos4375 the entire triple-A gaming industry is like this. Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Motorsport, Kerbal Space Program 2, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, basically everything except for indie games are half finished abysmal messes.
@@immortal6004 but they lost SOOOOO much market share in the process. There are probably thousands of people who will never touch the game because they remember it as the game that "was supposed to be good, but was terrible". I know I'll never buy it.
6 years between FM7 and this. I bought it and played it. It simultaneously feels like a pre-Alpha build for FM7 and also FM7.2 at the same time. No experimental drag and no drift lobbies and drift events despite all the work they put in to put that stuff in the game in the last game. But yet it feels like they slightly improved the racing in general from FM7. Its like what the hell were they doing for 6 years????
And yet drift suspension is still in the game, its almost like they plan to add stuff if y'all would give some decent feedback for once instead of complaining more than a woman.
@@MrSirGiuseppe this entire video and this comment is a full list of the issue with this game. Everyone online has been giving suggestions on how to fix the car upgrade system because it was unnecessary to change it. Get your head out your own sexist ass and pay attention dumb fuck, or is your reading comprehension and reading skills on a 2nd grade level and you can't understand shit?
@@MrSirGiuseppe so used to defending lackluster games he's convinced himself that adding something after the launch when the last game had it from the start is fine for a triple A company to do
@@leoortiiizAgreed. I'm straight up sick to death of folk defending these shoddy practices/companies. The "AAA" gaming space has become a joke, with each company just trying to out-profit the other, and with absolutely zero regard for the consumer. Everyone asking why this game took 6 years. The answer is that it didn't. It probably took "A" year and with a very small team working on it. They (as noted in the video) mostly copied assets they already had and just did the bare minimum to call this a "new" game. Sadly... just like EA/Activision/Ubisoft do every year or two with their awful "AAA" games (FIFA/NBA/COD/FARCRY/ASSASSIN's CREED)....
I'm still astonished that this game has been in development for so long yet feels like a rush job, I didn't really look into anything about this game (just been happily playing FH5 and Gran Turismo) but I am genuinely amazed at how buggy and unfinished this looks. I feel bad for people who put down 90 pounds just to end up with this mess!
I don't understand how they can release sims on the PC that don't have VR. I don't get it. Why even bother? VR and driving just goes together like PB+jelly. Also, you just know this is like every other simcade where every car is the same understeering bore to drive. Ac, ACC, AMS2. iracing forever, simcades never. There's just no need for these shittily driving games. There's too much great driving content as is. Who cares about RPG elements in racing anyways, that's dumb af
Developers often lie about "development " time as a marketing tool. They might start planning for the game a long time prior to the release, and use that as a reference point for development time. Most of the time, full manpower is not set in until the last year prior to release or, just like so many other things in the coorporate word, development time is more or less a lie.
@@lynpendrydont know which games you played but back then it also made no sense. You'd just go into the store after release and chances were that they had the preorder editions left over
I ended up getting the top version based on all the reviews. Granted, I didn't spend my own money (someone paid me $500 for a stupid TF2 hat), but still. That $100 could've gotten me a lot of games during a big Steam sale.
They won't, like they didn't on FM7. At the same time, PG games puts crazy amounts of content on FH5, which explains why Horizon is soo ahead of Motorsport with the public satisfaction and fame.
And this is why I am cautious when watching reviews from companies like IGN because this isn’t the first time that they did not mention bugs, issues, and other complaints present in games that come out. Thank you for posting this video to give us the heads up and save us from being deceived. You’ve earned a sub! Also I love the fact that you used the pokemon soundtrack in your video’s background at one point haha
IGN and the like have been lying in their reviews for a very very long time now, easily 10+ years. You shouldn't use their website at all honestly, it's trash.
Also, Forza has a toxic fan base, so they always try to justify the really bad things the game has. At least for PC, is the worst racing game you can buy new.
@@FacuGonz3 yeah that’s true but that’s also the case for any fan base of any game that will fight to defend garbage being released by companies. They act as if those companies are paying these people to be so defensive when the negatives about games are being called out lol it just doesn’t make any sense to me to be in denial about it and pretend like they deserve our money when they lack the quality and entertainment needed to justify the purchase.
A lot of those companies are paid off to make good reviews. You have to be careful and collect a healthy amount of data before drawing your own conclusions.
Its insane they have drift suspension without drift tires, but also drag tires with no use for them as well. It almost seems intentional, like it was out of spite or something. Its quite difficult to be incompetent in such a specific and ironic way.
My guess is the drag racing and drifting events will be coming at, or soon after the full launch. Why its not here now when the tires/suspension is i cant answer. But on the plus side they said all future tracks are going to be free, and ive seen no system that could be leading into microtransactions so far. That being said, it looks like the main thing the $30 premium upgrade gets you is the car pass and vip thing. All other future content being free. If thats going to be the case, then thats a plus at least.
Sadly and happily, yes. Sad to see the game that has been worked on longer than FH5 Itself be such a let down, missing many features that have been worked on in both Motorsport and Horizon not being used, bugs and glitches almost if not everywhere, graphics and sounds being horrible, and the upgrade system being horrible.
Was FH5 the one in Mexico that let people design their characters to be such bad drivers that they were made of more prosthetic parts than organic tissue?
Well it does, look at cp2077 or nms. It doesnt matter if the games they released were dog shit. Bc after 3-5 years and tons of patches people become fkn idiots and forget everything, heck they even praise them for delivering what should have been delivered 3 YEARS AGO. So ye they face no consequences, as they get the bag and then throughout years they’ll patch it and everyone will forget. Rinse and repeat
@@mr.darknight416Exactly that is why anyone try to defend CD Projekt Red's Cyberbug 2077 with me they can eat a penis, This bs business practice with developers and publishers need to end at the buck.
The game's bascially a shell of what was promised and what it should've been: A new game from the ground up, not a re-badged early access title. It makes me sad how games are being pushed out so unfinished, that one gets 2nd hand embarrasment while playing sometimes. Edit: I'm not hating on the devs, it's (mostly) always the management :/
Bro nowadays games are very advanced and much more complex than before, like Cyberpunk they had to launch the game so they fix it's issues faster by getting more data with users using it than only Team 10 employees accessing it...... That's how next gen games are like, if you use existing game and improve on it of course it's less costly + less problems + less time + more polished from start..... But Team 10 want a totally new era for Forza Motorsport here
@@TRX25EXno, don't defend bad practices, and especially do not buy their "games are too complex for us" lie They're absolute fools. Good leadership and teamwork can give excellent games at launch, it was the norm since the 90s until the early 2010s
@@falcongamer58 I worked as a beta tester for MSFS 2020 game and people like you don't understand how much work is being put here by developers, they literally said we have around 300-400 employees working full time daily 6 days a week 9 hours a day and some even at home working....... And they said even with that it will take over a 2 decades to bring a game problems free... Having 300-400 users testing it is different than a freaking Hundreds of thousands if not millions are reporting it's issues..... The target is to bring a game to 7-8/10 sort of rating and make it a 10/10 game over time and this exactly what happened with many other games out there......
So sad to see what Forza has become. I have very great, if not some of the best gaming memories playing the first games on my Xbox 360 back in the days after the NFS series started to flop.
I think NFS All started to flop either at 2015 or Payback Forza Motorsport isn’t that bad either…sure it has its flaws(MANY MANY MANY ANNOYING FLAWS) but other than that it’s a DECENT game
@@killerbeau95 Forza series peaked at 3 and maybe 4 for some but definitely 3. Forza 3 was the game that sold Xbox consoles back in the day. It was the Gran Turismo 3 and 4 when those launched on PlayStation 2 and they were amazing. The downfall all started since Forza 5 on the Failbox One. That set a terrible precedent for the series. You all have to remember that this is NOT the first time the Forza series has seen a reboot - it was rebooted with 5!!
Exactly. If you pay attention, they're just recyling the same game since Forza Motorsport 1 over and over.Maybe the franchise is tired. Or plain lazy.@@CLU55
Did you know that 2 of the meta cars are locked behind a paywall? The 2018 Audi R8 LMS is the meta in GT3 The 2018 VW Golf GTi is the meta in TCR The game has P2W cars at launch 💀
I have the Golf, and you’re absolutely spot on. I used the Civic in the first TCR race and was met with a lobby of 20 other people using the Golf. Ended up using the Golf and it’s on rails. It’s a shame that it’s a P2W car, although I’m guilty of using it, it shouldn’t be that way.
@@raptorjeezus2607 I nabbed a 7th in the Civic but purely through everyone wrecking each other (classic Forza). There’s definitely a lot of merit in learning setups as I think non-meta cars could be really competitive, but for most people they’re not going to bother, so cars like the Golf and the R8 LMS are just going to be commonplace in the regular lobbies.
@@jamiewright9767 I’m just assuming the same stuff still holds true I do in assetto to setup up that car. Rear toe out, front toe in, brake bias quite far rear
This is why I don't trust mainstream reviews when it comes to racing games. They praise the graphics and cars and controls and that's it. Without actually going in depth about the game.
I always avoid mainstream reviews now-a-days and always have to decide if I am going to spend money on something that is worth it to me or not. This shit is $70 and I am baffled that it's been 6 years already since the last FM game with FM7 that wasn't even that good compared to the previous entries of the franchise. For $70 now you could just get a 360, controllers/cheep 360 wheel, and a copy of FM4 off of ebay and have a better racing experience and overall video game experience than most racing games on the market right now. New racing games to me are *Boring. As. Fuck.*
Are you really suprised? This is happening with every single modern AAA Game. They are all like release now, fix later That is why I am not pre ordering any games anymore
Just so you know the Subie remodel was meant for FM7 but they forgot to introduce it so they're giving it to FM. Hence the hazy headlights cuz in those days the cars didnt have fully see through headlights.
They were incredibly dishonest when they showcased the advanced ray tracing and track assets and car models in that 2022 demo, but what we've got instead is a watered down downgraded version. Just go watch it. They don't even push the visuals on PC reasonably above Xbox Series X's graphics.
Even the Series X graphics can look a little underwhelming at times. I have my graphics settings on Performance RT, and notice that on about 2 of the maps lose FPS. I know that it’s the Ray Tracing setting, but it’s *performance* ray tracing. On a console that outperforms most mid range PCs in most games (looking at you MWII). I would say that the issues are because it just got released, but if it’s been in development for almost 10 years then there’s no excuse to have these glitches. I’ve never experienced them myself other than the FPS issue, but if there are known issues that are longer than your average CVS receipt, then this game should not have come out. It’s just down right not acceptable. Even studios like Insomniac know this and have a 60 FPS Ray Tracing option for Spider-Man 2, and they’re not as big as Turn 10. Bigger companies and studios need to realize that we prioritize good gameplay over graphics. While good graphics are nice, they should replace good gameplay. This is exactly why the Batman Return to Arkham games are still great 😂
I also love how turn10 spent the entire promotion of this game focusing on the rendering. Look how beautiful it looks! Look at the beautiful rendering! “How’s the gameplay?” Absolute dog shit but the rendering is amazing!
@@jjay350exactly, good visuals or "graphics" is not a freaking selling point anymore, this isn't 2010, the game better look good if you want to sell. This is the equivalent of a phone manufacturer advertising 4G😱 on the box like, would I buy a phone that isn't 4g at the very least? It's the bare minimum ffs😑
the saddest thing is that rendering turned out to be bogus anyway. The ray traced effects they made big noise about are barely worth turning on for how limited the distance they draw at is.
@@jjay350 Racing games looks amazing these days but the realistic graphics now is so fucking boring that I really miss the 90's and 2000's racing game art style and flair put into them. Choro Q (Or Road Trip Adventures 1/2), Enthusia Professional Racing and Auto-modellista for the PS2 have stylish graphics, unique Locations, interesting and funky OST and plays really different from one another that I really adore and find it to be fascinating to discover these old racing games that some you need a compatible racing wheel (Holding on my DFGT to play older racing games) to even play like Enthusia and it feels fantastic with a DFGT! That's why most people who still give a fuck about the dedicated part for racing games are upset that the era for creativity and making a video game, a video game to just being all about graphics and physics ONLY without the personality that the games I listed makes it all the more desire to have something that is just stand out from the rest. No, NFS Unbound half-assed-ness doesn't count with the cel-shaded player models mixed with realistic graphics that looks really off and makes it a glorified fan mod. And a ton of pacing and quality of life problems that game have as well for the single player which I only played for 16 hours before I uninstall that piece of shit game and played heat more lmfao. $75 down the fucking drain!
"Why make sequels if there are more similarities than differences?" is still a very asked question in late 2023, I thought newer sequels would be the opposite of that???
Holy shit, the fact they actually gave this the green light to be released is astonishing to me. Microsoft needs to pull this game and give a refund to everyone till its ready, that way they're held responsible for thinking it was alright to sell it like this. Cause its only going to hurt microsoft themselves but also kids that begged their parents to buy them this game and get screwed out of say either $70 or $100.
I dont understand how people are gonna get screwed out of a game that works just fine? Its forza, it didn't change, it did improve from fm7 and you clowns are uptight because its not revolutionary or something? It doesn't need to have everything you ever wanted right at launch, things can be added. Would you rather them have added a bunch of shit we didn't want only to have to wait for it to be pulled from the game?
Gt7 May be horribly monetized and all that but god damn will I admit it’s a passion project. The developers sink their souls into every car model and track.
@@Evarakeus I played it nearly daily last three months, I’m just saying the grind is harsh and ridiculous. And the fact that the micro transactions give you so little, I’m stuck grinding 1 hour long endurance races just to get one or two cars.
Gt7 is the most fun thing to race on also online it has the bether grafics and all that caint of things. So What are you guys talking abouth. !? Forza motorsport is full of crap specialy online its almost like wreck fest shame on that. And also why the cars so slippery specialy the gt cars and some racing cars.. on normal mode its ok but when you turn the disable mode on its a big disaster. They must fix that stuff. Asking for friend because he is almost blind but still like these caint of games. So until they fixed i always help him.
We are in the age of broken AAA videogames, so its a bit naive to think this game would work properly. Also, didnt gran turismo 5 use the same kind of level system?
GT5's leveling system was better (but still bad) Because to upgrade your cars, your only handicap would be your own money if you don't have enough. However, to progress through the License Tests or BUY CARS you had to be at certain level to do it.
I've never played gt5 myself, but i think it's also comparable to the wait for gt5. It took 5 years (compared to gt4 taking 3) and multiple delays. and when it Came out, it had similar problems like reusing outdated car models, and an annoying progression system, albeit this is far worse than gt5. (Btw ive only played gt4/6/sport/7)
I love how theyve somehow put together a game that , at launch, is in a worse state than FM7 was at launch. That takes an incredible level of dedication and skill.
@@ShadowRush2112You can argue FM5 was worse on launch, the frame rate seems good in this game and I haven’t heard of texture streaming stutters. Lol but they do share a lot of the same issues.
A lot of the cars don’t even have gear shift animations when driving manual lol. I was shocked when I first noticed it. There’s countless other basic details they’ve omitted in the game that I don’t even have enough room here to type out. I don’t blame turn 10 though, this is 100% the gamepass effect. Similar to how a Netflix movie won’t have the same production value as a big budget movie made for theatres
0:57 Bro why are you recording them reproducing? That's not the games fault, that's a you issue. Sure they could've gotten a room, but they're just cars, not people. Smh Good vid tho, I kinda want a racing game, sounds like Forza 4 or 5 (idk which is better in terms of features/content/etc) is still the one I should get. It's so weird though, I saw Forza 4 and 5 gameplay from RTGame, and that shit looked so good, how the fuck did they manage to fuck up the next entry so bad?
“We are rebuilding the game from the ground up” yet they have copied and pasted stuff, and left out other things that the previous games had, like drag strips, drift events, and drift cars/tires. I hope they fix some stuff in future updates like they did with Horizon 5
Way back in the FM3 and FM4 days, I was so looking forward to the day that Forza Motorsport would be able to properly rival and beat Gran Turismo. As each non Horizon title came, an went, Turn 10 seemed to fall off more and more with being a true racer as it had felt before. Now FM is just a shadow of its former self as the Horizon titles take more and more precedence over the game that put Turn 10 on the map to begin with.
During FM1 to FM4 I see they are really making the franchise to be the GT’s competitor But Forza Motorsport these days they are more like the bootleg GT for Xbox and PC than GT competitor
Oh their devs and tester definetly told management that the game was not ready for release. But it was published anyways because people keep buying and pre ordering broken stuff. So why would they care releasing a working game if a broken one is making them money anyways without putting in the extra work
GT's progression system is better though lol. Its tied to your personal collector level, not the car itself. Even then the level to have everything unlocked is not even that high. GT's career mode also involves actual race cars as well, not just your own built race cars.
FM8 is basically following the steps of other Microsoft franchises where people behind series are replaced by people who not only weren't ever part of the series but never even had experience in the same genre. Dan Greenawalt who was the Director for: Forza Horizon 5 (2021), Forza Street (2019), Forza Horizon 4 (2018), Forza Motorsport 7 (2017), Forza Horizon 3 (2016), Forza Motorsport 6: Apex (2016), Forza Motorsport 6 (2015), Forza Hub (2015), Forza Horizon 2 presents Fast & Furious (2015), Forza Horizon 2 (2014), Forza Motorsport 5 (2013), Forza Horizon (2012). Dan was replaced by the new game director Chris Esaki who is famous for: Jade Empire, Gears of War (1&2), Mass Effect, Lips, Kinect Star Wars. What could have gone wrong?
Your point is nonsense. Dan Greenawalt was creative director of Turn 10. All of the Horizon games were developed in the UK by Playground Games, who had their own studio head(s). The only input from Turn 10 was some of the underlying technology.
Just a slight correction with powershifting: They haven't really removed powershifting, in fact using manual w/ clutch is still doing the opposite of what you just said. Just look at Just Devon's recent video and the in-game leaderboards
5:32 more people should be angry about this. The massive differences between the reveal trailer and the delivered game is frankly UNACCEPTABLE for a Triple-A Microsoft game.
the only thing i disagree with is you said the physics are great. they are not. race cars aren't tail happy IRL. race cars also steer without tires SCREAMING. the physics are absolute garbage
Great video, you hit almost every issue I have had so far. One problem I have on the Series S is that changing the FOV doesn’t actually change the FOV at all so I can’t really use the interior camera.
So people complained about Forza having no meaningful progression and they tried to fix it with grind. Brilliant. Now whoever was on a fence will just skip this game entirely.
I've long thought that the people responsible for this game aren't motorsport fans, or don't much watch much real life racing. They don't understand what motorsport is, or what motorsport fans really want. Why a game that has "motorsport" in the title would put so much emphasis on pretty unexciting road cars in the career mode honestly baffles me. A motorsport game should be about letting people to drive the sort of classics, exotics and racing cars that you'd never get chance to in real life, not grinding boring slow shitboxes.
We simply aren't allowed to have a good racing sim / simcade title with a decent career mode. Whenever it's attempted, someone travels back in time and sabotages the project.

@@deadspoonxxx hmmm i feel like they have they just don’t know where to improve on games like COD and Halo where they have if it ain’t broke don’t fix it mentality. All they can really do is try to improve on graphics mostly if they try to improve anything at all. Even the latest COD open beta for MW3 is nearly identical to MW2 graphically.
How many times do we have to get screwed over before people start to realize their pre-ordering behavior is the biggest reason this happens? We say it every time a new big title drops… STOP PRE ORDERING GAMES. If you pre-ordered FM “8”, it’s your fault… Whether you accept it, or not.

One funny thing about the AI at the highest difficulty is that once you actually overtake them, they just give up - they forget how to drive and end up crashing/or taking unusual lines to lose time so it makes the overtake feel way less satisfying/rewarding.
The worst part is, having played the crap out of FH4, I can assure you the AI is similar. Same with 5, but to a bigger degree. They somehow managed to make their AI even worse than before not once, but twice
Yep that's what I was seeing 😂
"He is intimidating me" - the AI, probably.
That's how it's been since FH4. Either you overtake in the first minute of the race or you can't catch up to them ever.

well considering this is a "reboot" of the franchise and how poor FM7 was for majority of people that wanted a motorsport game to be sim and not arcade (if you want arcade go play forza horizon) they had to build from the ground up which is why we dont have any tracks we had in other motorsports yet because they are still working on updating them to the new games handling model and updating track layouts to better represent the irl track.
And the most confusing part about all of this is that this Forza Motorsport has the *same* director who has been here since Forza 1. He's the same guy behind Forza Motorsport 2,3, and 4, which are seen as the best games in the franchise

3 years of idling and 6 months of crunch seems to be how teams operate these days.
@@Lagmaster33seems like putting online only to even singleplayer career mode in FM2023 basically followed all the mistakes from Gran Turismo Sport.
Did you know that 2 of the meta cars are locked behind a paywall?
The 2018 Audi R8 LMS is the meta in GT3
The 2018 VW Golf GTi is the meta in TCR
The game has P2W cars at launch 💀
I have the Golf, and you’re absolutely spot on. I used the Civic in the first TCR race and was met with a lobby of 20 other people using the Golf.
Ended up using the Golf and it’s on rails. It’s a shame that it’s a P2W car, although I’m guilty of using it, it shouldn’t be that way.
@@jamiewright9767 bet i could set the civic up so it competes but i gotta wait till the 10th
same as in horizon 5
@@raptorjeezus2607 I nabbed a 7th in the Civic but purely through everyone wrecking each other (classic Forza).
There’s definitely a lot of merit in learning setups as I think non-meta cars could be really competitive, but for most people they’re not going to bother, so cars like the Golf and the R8 LMS are just going to be commonplace in the regular lobbies.
@@jamiewright9767 I’m just assuming the same stuff still holds true I do in assetto to setup up that car. Rear toe out, front toe in, brake bias quite far rear
This is why I don't trust mainstream reviews when it comes to racing games. They praise the graphics and cars and controls and that's it. Without actually going in depth about the game.
It was the same deal when GT7 launched, they wouldn't touch any of the glaring issues.
wheel implementation is a joke on this
Mainstream outlets don't know anything about racing games. I mean, remember FH5's launch and all those 10/10's that were being given 💀
I always avoid mainstream reviews now-a-days and always have to decide if I am going to spend money on something that is worth it to me or not.
This shit is $70 and I am baffled that it's been 6 years already since the last FM game with FM7 that wasn't even that good compared to the previous entries of the franchise. For $70 now you could just get a 360, controllers/cheep 360 wheel, and a copy of FM4 off of ebay and have a better racing experience and overall video game experience than most racing games on the market right now. New racing games to me are *Boring. As. Fuck.*
Majority of reviewers have very little clues about racing games, let alone sims.
Coming back to see this after this somehow won an award.
The Crew Motorfest was robbed.....
That or EA Sports WRC
You thought this was bad. Ever heard of Flatout 3
@@dyaanahmad5079 Ohhhh, I have! Trust me~
I'm starting to wonder what they were actually doing while the game was in development because this looks like a very pre-alpha build😂
Welcome to modern game company
Are you really suprised?
This is happening with every single modern AAA Game. They are all like release now, fix later
That is why I am not pre ordering any games anymore
Just so you know the Subie remodel was meant for FM7 but they forgot to introduce it so they're giving it to FM. Hence the hazy headlights cuz in those days the cars didnt have fully see through headlights.
They forgot, huh? 😂
They were incredibly dishonest when they showcased the advanced ray tracing and track assets and car models in that 2022 demo, but what we've got instead is a watered down downgraded version. Just go watch it. They don't even push the visuals on PC reasonably above Xbox Series X's graphics.
Even the Series X graphics can look a little underwhelming at times. I have my graphics settings on Performance RT, and notice that on about 2 of the maps lose FPS. I know that it’s the Ray Tracing setting, but it’s *performance* ray tracing. On a console that outperforms most mid range PCs in most games (looking at you MWII). I would say that the issues are because it just got released, but if it’s been in development for almost 10 years then there’s no excuse to have these glitches. I’ve never experienced them myself other than the FPS issue, but if there are known issues that are longer than your average CVS receipt, then this game should not have come out. It’s just down right not acceptable. Even studios like Insomniac know this and have a 60 FPS Ray Tracing option for Spider-Man 2, and they’re not as big as Turn 10. Bigger companies and studios need to realize that we prioritize good gameplay over graphics. While good graphics are nice, they should replace good gameplay. This is exactly why the Batman Return to Arkham games are still great 😂
Way downgraded. Only the trailer that made me hyped.
Do you link for the reveal??
Dont use DLSS. Use resolution scale to 175 or 200% and its crystal clear
Gaming companies seem to be getting so lazy these days.
I also love how turn10 spent the entire promotion of this game focusing on the rendering. Look how beautiful it looks! Look at the beautiful rendering! “How’s the gameplay?” Absolute dog shit but the rendering is amazing!
Funny thing is most racing sims look great these days.
@@jjay350exactly, good visuals or "graphics" is not a freaking selling point anymore, this isn't 2010, the game better look good if you want to sell. This is the equivalent of a phone manufacturer advertising 4G😱 on the box like, would I buy a phone that isn't 4g at the very least? It's the bare minimum ffs😑
the saddest thing is that rendering turned out to be bogus anyway. The ray traced effects they made big noise about are barely worth turning on for how limited the distance they draw at is.
@@jjay350 Racing games looks amazing these days but the realistic graphics now is so fucking boring that I really miss the 90's and 2000's racing game art style and flair put into them. Choro Q (Or Road Trip Adventures 1/2), Enthusia Professional Racing and Auto-modellista for the PS2 have stylish graphics, unique Locations, interesting and funky OST and plays really different from one another that I really adore and find it to be fascinating to discover these old racing games that some you need a compatible racing wheel (Holding on my DFGT to play older racing games) to even play like Enthusia and it feels fantastic with a DFGT! That's why most people who still give a fuck about the dedicated part for racing games are upset that the era for creativity and making a video game, a video game to just being all about graphics and physics ONLY without the personality that the games I listed makes it all the more desire to have something that is just stand out from the rest.
No, NFS Unbound half-assed-ness doesn't count with the cel-shaded player models mixed with realistic graphics that looks really off and makes it a glorified fan mod. And a ton of pacing and quality of life problems that game have as well for the single player which I only played for 16 hours before I uninstall that piece of shit game and played heat more lmfao. $75 down the fucking drain!
And even then the game looks like dogshit with washed out graphics. They couldnt even get that right. The games optimization is dog shit
"Why make sequels if there are more similarities than differences?" is still a very asked question in late 2023, I thought newer sequels would be the opposite of that???
because people will buy it anyways
Who knows, but its working wonders for COD
Holy shit, the fact they actually gave this the green light to be released is astonishing to me. Microsoft needs to pull this game and give a refund to everyone till its ready, that way they're held responsible for thinking it was alright to sell it like this. Cause its only going to hurt microsoft themselves but also kids that begged their parents to buy them this game and get screwed out of say either $70 or $100.
I played it for free with game pass
I dont understand how people are gonna get screwed out of a game that works just fine? Its forza, it didn't change, it did improve from fm7 and you clowns are uptight because its not revolutionary or something? It doesn't need to have everything you ever wanted right at launch, things can be added. Would you rather them have added a bunch of shit we didn't want only to have to wait for it to be pulled from the game?
Good thing i have game pass and some money left from my Xbox gift card so I wouldn’t have to waste my parents money on this monkey but game
@@MrSirGiuseppe Okay stevie wonder, then explain why people are suddenly pissed off at the game for being a traih wreck on launch.
What do you mean, pull it? Like, completely scrap it?
Gt7 May be horribly monetized and all that but god damn will I admit it’s a passion project. The developers sink their souls into every car model and track.
In what way is it horribly monetized? Have you actually played it more recently than literally at launch?
@@Evarakeus I played it nearly daily last three months, I’m just saying the grind is harsh and ridiculous. And the fact that the micro transactions give you so little, I’m stuck grinding 1 hour long endurance races just to get one or two cars.
Gt7 is the most fun thing to race on also online it has the bether grafics and all that caint of things. So What are you guys talking abouth. !? Forza motorsport is full of crap specialy online its almost like wreck fest shame on that. And also why the cars so slippery specialy the gt cars and some racing cars.. on normal mode its ok but when you turn the disable mode on its a big disaster. They must fix that stuff. Asking for friend because he is almost blind but still like these caint of games. So until they fixed i always help him.
We are in the age of broken AAA videogames, so its a bit naive to think this game would work properly. Also, didnt gran turismo 5 use the same kind of level system?
Levelling system was only for unlocking cars to be purchased
The leveling system in gt5 was way better (but not perfect), it just unlocked new cars to buy
Nope GT5 was mostly locking cars, not upgrades, behind levels.
GT5's leveling system was better (but still bad)
Because to upgrade your cars, your only handicap would be your own money if you don't have enough.
However, to progress through the License Tests or BUY CARS you had to be at certain level to do it.
I've never played gt5 myself, but i think it's also comparable to the wait for gt5. It took 5 years (compared to gt4 taking 3) and multiple delays. and when it Came out, it had similar problems like reusing outdated car models, and an annoying progression system, albeit this is far worse than gt5. (Btw ive only played gt4/6/sport/7)
The fact that they think this is worth 70 USD as well is wild
reused dogshit ass 3d models, bland ass look, sounds like a unity early access game really
Yeah, I'm not gonna pay $120 AUD on any game (as the BASE GAME price) let alone this lmao
I love how theyve somehow put together a game that , at launch, is in a worse state than FM7 was at launch.
That takes an incredible level of dedication and skill.
I deleted this game recently.
I have no regrets.
Also, I can't wait to play FM4 when I get it on Christmas this year
Playing old GOATS, so based
Just completed FM4 recently. Better than this garbage and I'm thinking about getting FM3
@@joshuaquinones9760fm4 is brilliant, fm3 is as good if not slightly better. both have stellar soundtracks and graphics
You know a game is bad when Shiny comes out of his burrow to post about it.
We don't talk about how the cars had sexual intercourse in the menu
truly the forza motorsport of all time

The new Forza Motorsport makes me feel like we treated FM5 too harshly.
Nah fm5 was equally as ass on launch
@@figfigYT At least it actually worked.
@@figfigYT At least you can play FM5 offline, I'm tired of all the new racing games being online only now days.
@@ShadowRush2112You can argue FM5 was worse on launch, the frame rate seems good in this game and I haven’t heard of texture streaming stutters. Lol but they do share a lot of the same issues.
@@ScottysHDGamingChannelthe funny thing is you couldn't even do that at launch, since the Xbox one needed to be connected to the internet
Hot Wheels and Crew Motorfest got robbed. Still don't get how THIS garbage won against the 2 other polished games in the category
A lot of the cars don’t even have gear shift animations when driving manual lol. I was shocked when I first noticed it. There’s countless other basic details they’ve omitted in the game that I don’t even have enough room here to type out. I don’t blame turn 10 though, this is 100% the gamepass effect. Similar to how a Netflix movie won’t have the same production value as a big budget movie made for theatres
Game pass effect for sure. Nobody will buy it, games just becoming "content" to pad out a subscription. Souless and empty.
Blue Side of the Force consumes me
0:14 how could they remove the Auction House? It’s the one thing that set apart Forza from its competitors
"Game of its year" award goes to Forza Motorsport. I guess this is what "modern gaming" is right now.
Sure award for unfinished game
I bet it will win racing game of the year.
and they wonder why people are losing interest
@@DriftNick Racing/Sports game... I hate TGA so much 🤦♂️
The absolute state of gaming 💀
0:57 Bro why are you recording them reproducing? That's not the games fault, that's a you issue. Sure they could've gotten a room, but they're just cars, not people. Smh
Good vid tho, I kinda want a racing game, sounds like Forza 4 or 5 (idk which is better in terms of features/content/etc) is still the one I should get. It's so weird though, I saw Forza 4 and 5 gameplay from RTGame, and that shit looked so good, how the fuck did they manage to fuck up the next entry so bad?
“We are rebuilding the game from the ground up” yet they have copied and pasted stuff, and left out other things that the previous games had, like drag strips, drift events, and drift cars/tires. I hope they fix some stuff in future updates like they did with Horizon 5
Wheel support being good is enough for me to have fun
Way back in the FM3 and FM4 days, I was so looking forward to the day that Forza Motorsport would be able to properly rival and beat Gran Turismo. As each non Horizon title came, an went, Turn 10 seemed to fall off more and more with being a true racer as it had felt before. Now FM is just a shadow of its former self as the Horizon titles take more and more precedence over the game that put Turn 10 on the map to begin with.
to hell with horizon. couldnt even keep me engaged with the 5th game for 2 hours
During FM1 to FM4 I see they are really making the franchise to be the GT’s competitor
But Forza Motorsport these days they are more like the bootleg GT for Xbox and PC than GT competitor
FH4 was the peak of horizon series
a dev who never playtests is like a chef who never tastes
Oh their devs and tester definetly told management that the game was not ready for release. But it was published anyways because people keep buying and pre ordering broken stuff.
So why would they care releasing a working game if a broken one is making them money anyways without putting in the extra work
So basically they looked at how well gran turismo's new progression system went over with the community and decided they want that as well.
GT's progression system is better though lol. Its tied to your personal collector level, not the car itself. Even then the level to have everything unlocked is not even that high. GT's career mode also involves actual race cars as well, not just your own built race cars.
At least polyphony make a decent used out of the variety of cars in the career mode
@@SV-Cantilever Yup, I'd gladly take that over this. At least when you level up you can upgrade everything, not just one car.
FM8 is basically following the steps of other Microsoft franchises where people behind series are replaced by people who not only weren't ever part of the series but never even had experience in the same genre. Dan Greenawalt who was the Director for: Forza Horizon 5 (2021), Forza Street (2019), Forza Horizon 4 (2018), Forza Motorsport 7 (2017), Forza Horizon 3 (2016), Forza Motorsport 6: Apex (2016), Forza Motorsport 6 (2015), Forza Hub (2015), Forza Horizon 2 presents Fast & Furious (2015), Forza Horizon 2 (2014), Forza Motorsport 5 (2013), Forza Horizon (2012). Dan was replaced by the new game director Chris Esaki who is famous for: Jade Empire, Gears of War (1&2), Mass Effect, Lips, Kinect Star Wars. What could have gone wrong?
Sadly this has become an industrywide trend. The old talents vets are out, replaced by out of touch hires.
Whoa, whoa, whoa... Forza Street wasn't an actual Forza title; they just adopted the Forza name in an attempt to give it an ounce of credibility.
@@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819 Still had the Forza name so had to live up to some potential
Your point is nonsense. Dan Greenawalt was creative director of Turn 10. All of the Horizon games were developed in the UK by Playground Games, who had their own studio head(s). The only input from Turn 10 was some of the underlying technology.
How did this win best racing game? I don't understand
scams dont usually make sense. your spidey sense is not off.
it's a popularity contest
Wait. This game is online only even in single player? Always. Online. SINGLE. *PLAYER!*
Welcome to live services, some people actually defend this.
Microsoft should be goddamn embarrassed with the state of this game at release. So many game breaking bugs its insane
im holding the same expectations for MSFS2024
They cant even fix Minecraft what did you expect 😂😂
*diversity hires*
Na na na it's Sony fault
Speak for yourself. I haven't had any issues with it. You sony fanboys just find any excuse to bash Microsoft. Just stfu for once god.
Just a slight correction with powershifting: They haven't really removed powershifting, in fact using manual w/ clutch is still doing the opposite of what you just said. Just look at Just Devon's recent video and the in-game leaderboards
The fact this game reviewed so well just proves that reviewers have no business covering racing games
"Artificial incompetence". Killed me with that line.:)))
5:32 more people should be angry about this. The massive differences between the reveal trailer and the delivered game is frankly UNACCEPTABLE for a Triple-A Microsoft game.
Bro, what was that Silvia rolling over on 7:33 ? LoL 😂
the only thing i disagree with is you said the physics are great. they are not. race cars aren't tail happy IRL. race cars also steer without tires SCREAMING. the physics are absolute garbage
At this point failure should be expected when it comes Triple-A launches.
since a few years mate
That only applies to Micro$oft though. Sony and Nintendo never fail.
5:39 LMAOOOOOOO this should be illegal....
Great video, you hit almost every issue I have had so far. One problem I have on the Series S is that changing the FOV doesn’t actually change the FOV at all so I can’t really use the interior camera.
make sure you have "use custom FOV" enabled, dunno why this is a separate option, but your custom FOV settings won't do anything until this is checked
@@Shinyodd1000IQ menu option
So people complained about Forza having no meaningful progression and they tried to fix it with grind. Brilliant. Now whoever was on a fence will just skip this game entirely.
fastest shinyodd upload schedule:
Forza Motorsport without any real Motorsport? Well, that has to be an achievement in its own. 😂
I've long thought that the people responsible for this game aren't motorsport fans, or don't much watch much real life racing. They don't understand what motorsport is, or what motorsport fans really want. Why a game that has "motorsport" in the title would put so much emphasis on pretty unexciting road cars in the career mode honestly baffles me. A motorsport game should be about letting people to drive the sort of classics, exotics and racing cars that you'd never get chance to in real life, not grinding boring slow shitboxes.
We simply aren't allowed to have a good racing sim / simcade title with a decent career mode. Whenever it's attempted, someone travels back in time and sabotages the project.

How many times do we have to get screwed over before people start to realize their pre-ordering behavior is the biggest reason this happens?
