Lots of people are requesting for the ability to make the halo post on the IndyCars invisible in cockpit view
Still better looking than Forza Motorsport's trees. Derp Derp.Does anyone know which version of FM he's comparing GT7 to? I don't remember the latest one looking like this. I hope he's not doing the old "run it on a potato PC" thing that console warriors like Emula got banned for.
I'm happy I can play a game which lets me freely swap engines without needing a high collector level and thousands in cash or a roulette ticket. And download tunes from other players. Also one which lets me tailor the difficulty to my own skill. And doesn't require me to spam the same race over and over to try and make bucks because the economy is unforgiving.Rock solid framerate on console even when every track has time of day and weather options >>> a visual bug on one circuit at the end of a race / replay.
Yeah, I would buy it if it was on Xbox. I've played some of the previous GT games. I did think about getting a PS5 when the latest Sophy was released but quickly decided against it when I saw it wasn't on all tracks (like my beloved Willow Springs) and saw the car list was missing so many of my favs from GT6. I swear PD must have made some amazing licensing deals back in the day!Personally, I like not needing to buy a console to play a game. That's the sole reason I've not played GT7 really.
For as long as the game was from the Microsoft Store (Xbox or PC), your save data is synced to the cloud and will work on either device.Does anyone know if your game progression transfers from Console Gamepass to PC Gamepass? Contemplating the new Xbox Handheld later in the year but won't bother if my FM cars, cash and lap times don't transfer across.
Outdated viewpoint. Patches are downloaded and installed automatically by steam, like a console. GPU drivers are downloaded and applied automatically by your nvidia/amd/intel app. It's not 2005 anymore. There are plenty of games that don't run well on console, and they're stuck that way. On PC you can either brute force or tweak around what the devs shortcomings.
I completely understand the convenience and benefits of a walled garden, but a lot of console players haven't dipped their toes in PC land for a long time and it shows.
Completely agree, I'm happy to pay for a console just after launch knowing I can plug it into my big screen tv, sit on the couch and be safe in the knowledge that any game I buy will work without fail till the next console comes out 7 years later. No interest in gaming on a PC.Fair points, but then I've got to pay somewhere around double the cost of the Series x for a PC beefy enough to run equally well? And forgoing quick-resume for games as well?
And forgive me, I don't want to waste time "brute force or tweak around what the devs shortcomings" - most AAA games don't need any of that and frankly as a full-time worker and parent I don't have the time to waste anymore. I just want to fire up a machine and be into a game within seconds, and the Series X does that just fine.
Nah. Still not sold.
It looks like the AI is more competitive since the latest update. I've had to drop a level on some courses, notably Sebring where I find it difficult to overtake cars.The FM7 tribute race was the hardest of the 7 for me. Lost the Homestead race by an alien move the lead AI car made in that final chicane. It came from 4 or 5 car lengths back and somehow managed to stop in front of me and make it through the chicane. There's no way us players could have got that car to stop like that.
I usually play on difficulty 1,2 or 3 depending on the car I drive and since I'm slow and the A.I. at 1 or 2 seems to temporarily own me to smithereens before they get slowed down by the game.It looks like the AI is more competitive since the latest update.

Honestly,So this week is the finale of the 20th anniversary challenges. Are they going to have a new series next week? Champions Cup is going to be it's own section and update occasionally? I was wondering what the plan is because usually a new Open Series series shows up the same time a new Challenge series is added.
Yeah noticed it's the same Nismo Z as before.Honestly,
I'm not sure. They didn't mention a new series and the Open Class has now been moved to the normal career mode and even the reward car is the same.
We have the returning Tours coming up over the next 3 months and beyond.Honestly,
I'm not sure. They didn't mention a new series and the Open Class has now been moved to the normal career mode and even the reward car is the same.
To be fair, we get/got no roadmap at all from a certain similar game on a different platform. It hasn't helped that the last roadmap effectively said, in a nutshell, "ignore the last roadmap (but you'll get a new track in April)."A simple roadmap blog post would go a long, long way right now. They can be honest with us, if they are really having difficulties fixing things without breaking anything else, obtaining licenses, hiring staff, pressure from Microsoft, reworking past features that can take a lot longer to implement, withholding further support to help with FH6, in the midst of another FM title etc... why can't they just let us know in their own words about what's going on and what's not going on. Our last future roadmap was nearly 6 months ago...let that sink in
No.Any leaks for FM9?
If there is a FM9 in the works, we probably won't see it for quite a while. The stated goal with this game was to support and update it well beyond the previous lifetime of past Motorsport games, and there hasn't been anything official to suggest otherwise.Any leaks for FM9?
I find the last corner at Sebring is the best place to pass, you can brake a lot later than the AI and pass them on the inside.It looks like the AI is more competitive since the latest update. I've had to drop a level on some courses, notably Sebring where I find it difficult to overtake cars.
I'd guess the next Xbox will be in 2027 (maybe end of 2026) and unless FM9 is a launch game (which isn't ideal because launch games are usually rushed with little content) then I'd say FM9 is at least 3-4 years away.If there is a FM9 in the works, we probably won't see it for quite a while.

Yep, leaving a ton of room for speculation is the issue. Even for games that don't have troubled runs like this game has, lack of communication leads to speculation, which often turns negative. It kinda leaves some of the community feeling neglected or disrespected, which usually seems to be a strong catalyst for the negative turn.It does seem like things have shifted a bit, we got some major updates but no real ideas of plans beyond where the game is currently. I am not pessimistic enough to assume that means end of updates all together but they are sure leaving room to speculate as such.
