Forza Motorsport is gearing up to get underway, and this racing title intends to blow us away one last time before it kicks into high gear. What to seduce the most skeptical?
Forza Motorsport is eagerly awaited by racing aficionados and enthusiasts. It is undeniable that Turn 10 Studios seems to have worked hard to offer us an unparalleled experience. To persuade even the most doubtful, new screenshots, dazzling in detail, have been revealed. A real visual tour de force?
Forza Motorsport is a visual slap in the face
In addition to its new circuits and its new cars, Forza Motorsport is distinguished by a pretty crazy graphic beauty. One of the game’s key assets is the overhaul of its damage system. In a universe populated by licensed cars, don’t expect Wreckfest-style destruction. However, the bodies will indeed show signs of wear and scratches after collisions, particularly on metal parts and rims. In addition, Dan Greenawalt, director of Turn 10, confirmed the integration of ray tracing into Forza Motorsport, in real time. The result is stunning. This is particularly visible through the numerous lighting effects. To demonstrate this, a profusion of images (more than fifty) is available in this Imgur gallery. We’ve included a few of them in this article to give you an overview.
Beyond ray tracing, we can appreciate the impact of the environment on vehicles: each drop of water on the windshield, the sand that accumulates on the radiators, or even the paint that will chip under the effect of friction… We can’t wait to test the game to form a definitive opinion, but it is already shaping up to be one of the most sumptuous racing titles of the moment. No doubt about it. It’s a shame that everything doesn’t follow in terms of game mechanics, because we already know that Forza Motorsport’s multiplayer will have some impasses at launch. In particular, the following three features will be absent: spectator mode, racing against AI and split screen. Only spectator mode is officially programmed by the developers.
Many cars
The game plans to offer a range of 500 vehicles, 100 of which are new. There we find in particular gems such as the Alpine A110 from 2017 or the Audi RS 3 Sedan from 2020. Enough to satisfy lovers of beautiful mechanics. The good news is that the game features cars from various eras, ranging from the 1950s to the 2020s, to appeal to as many people as possible. We will particularly highlight the return of the beautiful Aston Martin DBR1 which has already appeared in Forza Motorsport 5 and 7. The same one which won the 1959 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This is Aston Martin’s first and only victory in the event. A simply fabulous car due to its history and cutting-edge mechanics (for the time). For the record, Forza Motorsport is scheduled for October 10, 2023 on PC and Xbox Series.
