Forza Motorsport Developer Update: "Super Realistic" New Suspension Model

Forza Motorsport creative director Chris Esaki returned to the hot seat on the latest Forza Monthly live stream to discuss more details on the upcoming Forza Motorsport, specifically regarding a new suspension model for the title.

And so the hype for GT7's competitor begins!!!

[dbcoops]

Since you brought up GranTurismo, GT already has far superior car physics modeling in terms of vehicle roll, suspension, g forces, tire wear, etc. Forza has a lot of catching up to do in that department, I would temper the hype.

[OptimusDK]

Well no collision and you know nothing about what Forza will bring to the table. But is has been leages over Gran Turismo which is just old news.

[itsmebryan]

Why don't you wait for the games to come out before you make claims. It would be the first time people got disappointed by making unfounded claims.

Yeah that's some amazing collision damage right there, 20mph into a barricade and one taillight goes out and that's it, LOL. I know what Forza has brought to the table and it pales in comparison to the GT series in regards to car physics and I think you meant leagues not "leages" but you'd still be wrong.

[dbcoops]

@itsmebryan

You're right I should have waited until one day after the games launch to make a claim.

[Clonetrooper1139]

That is an interesting boast as we know nothing about Forza, yet. Why don't we wait to see what they feature before saying which one is superior.

[dbcoops]

@Clonetrooper1139

So you're saying we should temper the hype just like I said, thank you.

"GT already has far superior car physics modeling in terms of vehicle roll, suspension, g forces, tire wear, etc."

You have seen footage of the upcoming Forza Motorport???? please share

"I would temper the hype."

Which is why i said the hype begins, right??

[EazyC]

And Gran Turismo has a lot of catching up to the likes of ACC and iRacing in terms of physics, tyre mods etc

[dbcoops]

@EazyC

Literally has nothing to do with the conversation but since you brought it up so does Forza, so your point?

[BenRC01]

Maybe but it's also incredibly dull and hasn't moved on since gt3. Forza has always been way more fun to play

[darkrider]

Dude, this was about forza, but you had to bring Sony into this... And start something. And no, they arent the same. Maybe when they take that rewind crap for kids that don't like to lose.. . It could start from there.... Now is just another arcade racer but not open world.

[DJStotty]

Forza Motorsport is a racing sim, not arcade.

GT7 articles have Sony fans comparing to Horizon, how is this any different?

[dbcoops]

"You have seen footage of the upcoming Forza Motorport"

Have you? My comment is based on history your hype is based on nothing.

[DJStotty]

My hype is based off the trailer linked above?

[solideagle]

Gran Turismo team can only wish they can achieve 90+ Meta again :p

[Atticus_finch]

Gt will have to settle with being better selling, superior detailed, realistic, FIA official and the best online racer.

[Om4ever]

Not a lot of agrees ... Read again your statement

[darkrider]

I think Microsoft would dream that any forza sold like the worst gt... And wasn't force to talk about laps taken, miles done and players that rent the game...

[solideagle]

I agree with you that GT is bigger than Forza! I was just referring to Meta ratings which has been dropping for GT each iteration.

[Orchard]

That's weak logic really, unless you're a shareholder and not a gamer.

If you are playing the game, reviews are more important than sales, and we should care more about those.

[hennessey86]

I hope it's a return to form for Forza Motorsport, it hasn't been good since 4 in my opinion.

[StarLink]

Both Forza M and Grand T will compete mostly to see who has the better raytracing implementation.

[BenRC01]

While anyone who actually likes fun and not spooging over realistic indicator stalks will be playing fh5

[LoveSpuds]

I'd take a new Project Gotham Racing over Forza personally, PFR3 on 360 remains one of my fave racing games.

In respect of sim racers though, I think that GT has the edge over Forza in respect of physics and depth, but I always felt that Forza does a better job in respect of AI. I alway get a good race in Forza whereas I find the AI in GT is either too easy or ridiculously good and I spent so much time tweaking settings to get a good racing experience.

Forza Motorsport is more to my taste than Horizon so I am excited to see how this turns out.

[BenRC01]

Fh5 is pgr. And motorstorm, and driveclub and all those fab old racers mashed together
