Hakone means Fuji Speedway? No license or why so cryptic?

No, it's a new fictional circuit.

 

[Nacho Libre]

No, Hakone is Hakone, nowhere near Fuji Speedway.

 

[TokoTurismo]

We'll see how it goes tomorrow, but judging from what I've seen, it's not too promising on the content side. Who wants to bet there will be a Playlist mechanic just like Horizon?

I alright, I have to admit that last bit in your post got me to chuckle. As for tomorrow, I'm hoping T10 goes more in depth about the career mode and the online mode, and NOT what was shown in the Xbox Direct.

 

[TheOE]

My guess which 17 tracks will be cut:

1. Bernese Alps
2. Dubai
3. Hockenheim
4. Homestead
5. Sonoma Raceway
6. Le Mans
7. Lime Rock
8. Long Beach
9. Monza
10. Nurburgring
11. Test Track
12. Prague
13. Rio
14. Road America
15. Top Gear
16. Virginia International Raceway
17. Yas Marina

From 32 enviroments in FM7 to 20 including 5 new to Forza (Hakone, Mid-Ohio, Kyalami and two TBA)
So 17 from FM7 out.

I would have preferred more circuits, even if that would have meant fewer amount of cars.

 

[juanffy18]

Not too much difference between FM6 in the visual gameplay i see, but it's because the racing games right now reach an incredible graphic fidelity what never seen before.

It's a new original track, not Fuji

No way they get rid of The Ring. I'd be shocked. I think they would take away Mugello before that especially since Mugello was missing in other releases. I'm on board with the rest except perhaps Le Mans.

 

[Fezzik]

More talk about graphics than gameplay. I don’t care one bit about ray-tracing.

Im 95% certain they cut the Ring, just because it might be too big of an undertaking for them due to its length and the highly detailed nature of tracks

 

[GTxForza]

Most of the footage looked like from a movie from the 70s, washed-out graphics.

The same goes on if I say GT7 looks like a movie from the 70s, that's also the same stupid logic as yours.

 

[FoxMulder]

Still no release date is disappointing and just means holiday probably.

 

[VXR]

360-era cars return?

I really don't think I'll bother.

First look at UI? or is it Dev mode?

This is the problem when you made a open world game and a real racing game, it's really difficult to match the graphical instant wow.

Sighs

They already went down this road with Forza 5 & the Nurburgring with that reasoning originally, before releasing it later on as a free update.

I find they'd be silly to repeat history.

 

[GTxForza]

WTH!!! Looks like another November release. #furious

"Coming 2023" in other words, not coming Spring 2023.

Please calm down, we're not in console wars.

 

[neil3646]

Already shown the Nurburgring, the Grand Prix circuit at least

 

[PJTierney]

That’s easy to choose. 150 cars.

If I want 700+ I’ll go to the Mexican sandbox.

🙃

 

[PJTierney]

Very disappointed of the delay. That sucks.

Thought of a preorder for today..

Tinfoil hat time

Pre-Orders can’t be done more than 6 months in advance of release date (depending on the store you release the game on), therefore game’s probably coming out in October 😏

 

[nukleabomb]

Q: The HUD visible in the Forza Motorsport Developer_Direct video looks different to what you previously showed at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase? Is this HUD design final?

A: Everything you saw in our Forza Motorsport Developer_Direct video is work-in-progress.



BTW

 

[SloGrumpyDad]

Please calm down, we're not in console wars.

Huh? I'm just bitter they are pushing the release once again and rightfully so. Furious that we are going to have to wait til November when FM7 was released over 5 years ago now.

 

[05XR8]

Well, I'm buying this. The M3, RS500 and 190E. Check.

Kyalami. Check.

No release date. Check. Gives me time to buy a new XB.

I like to play my racing games like this when im playing in third or first person.

NO HUD!

[toastet]

No, Hakone is Hakone, nowhere near Fuji Speedway.

If ~5 Km are nowhere near than yes cause this is the distance.

 

[nukleabomb]

Seems close enough to GT7
images are not mine btw

 

[McLaren]

Well, I think I'm maybe seeing one visual oversight that annoyed me back in FM7:

I'm admittedly not familiar with the Miata, but doesn't a green backlit gauge cluster indicative of the car being driven at night for easier visuals of said cluster? This was a small visual bug that did affect some cars like the Enzo where it could be full daylight, but the cluster was set as if its headlamps were on.

 

[The_Greaser]

360-era cars return?

I really don't think I'll bother.

Yep. 190E still has the metal window divider on the rear passenger doors, and I bet the rear lights are still US-spec. Clearly did not remodel this at all. M3 E30 still looks bad and it's been unchanged 15 years later. Don't get me started with the SW20 which will be released again in FH5....
