    This thing had to be some serious development hell.
    The theory/rumor of it being an actual from the ground up project that got trashed and then ending up with a worse game made out of the last one in like a year or so, is very believable.

      But does it ma GT7 a great game? With release day lack luster player campaign, the same tired chase the rabbit races,MTX, and lottery with prices including car parts.
      Do not get me wrong I have my fair share of issues with FM7, the campaign is nothing special, the fact that I lost anything from 30 minutes to 2h progress till a patch released month after release day is just something I simply hate, the grind like progression per car is terrible, they could do it per class or something that would make more sense. People are not playing the game to let the assists do it for them (basically something like b-spec mode).
      Why on earth we cannot game less gamified game. Sure add campaign but put selection of cars being there from the start, work on AI, have dynamic time of day with dynamic weather player can choose, have the proper training (when you tune the car), qualification (which defines position on the grid), and race. I’m obviously asking for too much.

      Exactly. It feels like it's a team that is composed by artists, they are talented but it's seems like they don't enjoy cars or racing. When i play FH5, i don't understand why there're so much emphasis on fun, clothes and dances.

      Other than qualifying races GT7 has all of what you mentioned at the bottom. The day/night and weather cycles are far more robust, realistic, and varied than anything FM23 offers. And other than the weird choice to base car prices on real world prices the races we have are about what every GT has had. People hate the Cafe menus but it's not like there was ever any structure before in the old games. They gave us the tracks and a big list of races and said have at it and people loved it. Pretty much what we got with GT7 with the added cafe menu for some sort of structure. The quality as a whole is also on another level. At least the game works. Half the time even after multiple patches FM doesn't work correctly most of the time.

      @Luismafoo I don't care what fanboys and console war kids say. The reason our beloved games on Xbox have lost "passion" is due to the emphasis on gamepass. They want player retention, sub numbers, and download numbers high so MS keeps feeding the Xbox division. Not to say Sony and PS don't have their own set of issues but in different ways.

    They said that the upgrade system is designed to build a relationship with your car. The problem is that the exact opposite is happening. In the course of a championship, you only manage to upgrade one car at most halfway through. After that, the car is completely useless as far as the career is concerned.

      It's so much better that it is on the PS5 only. the PS5 is cheaper than a video card for PC and it's a billion times more stable and windows RECALL won't spy on you. Plus it being on PS5, not PC, ensures it has far less if any cheating and a much more secure platform to enjoy gaming without endless patches, updates, and drivers wasting time on the PC. iRacing load times are a testament to how bad PC has become with the OS insanity. anything that touches microsoft ensures suffering. There are much better ways. If GT7 came out on Linux, that might be ok if you could avoid non PS5 players who are likely cheating, but could play with friends you know IRL and trust.

    The thing that gets me about the career is not only the incredibly paltry offering of events, but they're REMOVING events that they added. They removed the events that gave the Acura Daytona Prototype racecar and the Audi R8 just to fuel FOMO and they'll do the same with the events for the 488 GTB and the Sesto Elemento. Instead of just moving them into the career mode and letting people play them. So they're making this content and then keeping the bare bones bullshit that's there. I just don't understand the reasoning behind it other than again FOMO and trying to keep Game Pass subs for it. And if that's the case, sacrificing a game's enjoyment that people can actually purchase and buy for some vain attempt to keep subscription numbers up, we have a major problem. And it isn't just the quality of Forza Motorsport. The rot goes all the way up to Phil Spencer and decisions that suits are making that are harming paying customers.

    as some who loves video games as art, forza has a place in my love for medium. forza 4 was the first game I could be proud of. when this game was announced, I was about as exited for it as I was for prime 4(still waiting patiently for it. also unlike forza manure, prime 4 has gone through QA) I got a series X for it. (I don't regret getting it, I regret my reasons) but now with it out. I wanna cry
    this game is so bugs bunny it makes forza horizon 2 on the xbox 360 look polished.
    final note, this is by far your best written video.

    I think it's telling of FM 2023's state that the most fun i've seen a content creator have in FM is AR12 doing a chaotic cat and mouse minigame. No other content creators videos i've seen have contained a great amount of genuine joy when playing this game, it's funny to me because I gave up on Forza after FH5's obvious switch to a live service model (paid DLC coming out every update, currently the amount of irl money needed to get all cars in FH5 is nearly 30% on top of premium edition) and frankly i don't believe Forza can make me come back. This game winning any awards is genuinely laughable, wholeheartedly believe the reviews for FM were bought, the current xbox store ratings show approval below 50% and mostly negative reviews on steam, idk what Forza is thinking but if this game doesn't get major content overhauls (FOR FREE) then the FM series will inevitably die

    Its bizarre how a series that at one point felt like was the only place to experience Road Atlanta (mostly because for a while on console it was) suddenly doesn't hav it along with 5 other tracks you mentioned (all of which ironically ended up in GT7...from Day 1...). And for immense irony: You know where Road Atlanta ended up in? In GT7.
    An experiment I'd like to see from someone who has this AND GT7 (Assuming said person exists): Let's say you want to recreate the specs of the real life MX-5 Cup sanctioned by IMSA (A sanctioning body who is ironically partnered with both series as specified in one of there state of the series address presentations). I'd like to see how long it takes to create, say, 6 cars from that series using the current year Mazda MX-5 (A car that should be cheap in both games). I would like to see just how big the gap is in grinding both games in their respective less-then-popular campaigns just to achieve this result between attaining a car, getting the parts and doing the tuning to make those 6 cars as close as possible to the real thing.

    The original Forza motorsport on-line racing had variety because you were able to host a multi player lobby. That lobby would be be listed. Players had the choice to go to race were they seem fit. If you were a host you had total control so you could pick the circuit make sure you had people with a mic , you could kick a player any time while they were in your lobby. This got rid of the dirty racers and promoted clean racing.So to be a host on the original game was a privilege. This created community and not too mention there were car clubs, with certain clubs making alliances. These alliances became friendships that some still hold to this day.The original game had a soul to it and each edition afterwards has lost more and more till there was nothing remaining but this unfinished installment of a game built from the ground up.

But on the flip side it’s getting much more harder and time consuming to create a solid game with modern expectations in only in a small time period.

    Very valid critique, one small correction is when you said players have to buy multiple of the same car to have different set ups. You can go in the set up manager and save your tune and then change it for grip, speed, or changing class, and then save again. You could have one car set up for every class and change back and forth on the fly.

      @burr7259 it has been since FM7 that it is faster and more stable to change car.
      Changing tune, lags, times out and/or crashes next to searching (If you have many saved tunes).
      It is easier, faster and more stable to have the same car with different paint and setup.
      Most tuners have more of the same car for exact this reason.
      Changing on the fly is often not possible and is risky for the game to crash.
      In multiplayer this happens a lot, like insanely often.
      So your comment is is not valid for 2 things.
      It is not on the fly and most PPL will be aware of the option to switch via setup manager.
      Because the more experienced player and or tuner will use the double car option.
      Most of them play FM since earlier titles and know the menu setup all to well.
      Hence WHY they do the double car option and NOT the setup manager option.

      Setup manager in multiplayer crashes at least 10% of the times.
      If you have many saved tunes, it is faster to switch a car then to search you list of tunes.
      If you have a speed, all round, grip and wet tune and put it on 4 cars, you can change on the fly.
      Way faster and safer (Not to crash) then via the setup manager.
      In the time i switch cars you will not even be in the saved tunes list...
      Why is simple... A car is local storage, a saved tune is on cloud storage.
      So this from the ground up build game, has inherit this "problem" from FM7
      and made it even worse by storing it in the cloud making it slower and less reliable.

It's not a bad thing to compare this game to GT7, as they are the main competitors of each other and FM just feels soulless, devoid, feels unfinished, feels unpolished, describing it as "corporate" is purely perfect. It lacks a soul, this game was made because someone ordered it to be made and paid the devs, not because the devs wanted to make this out of passion or to make it as a love letter. And it fails in every way possible. Even to the most basic, downright technical perspective: functioning. Because the PC port is a plain joke that doesn't even function most of the time.

    Forza Motorsport reeks of a product that was conceived by individuals who either lost, or didn't have a single moniker of interest for either the sport this video game is based on, or even gaming in general, and even despite the solid few games we've had all year long as of me writing this, this game once again, begs the question of how it feels to live long enough to see all your favorite media properties go down in flames, and I don't want to perpetuate this kind of negativity, but it's honestly very difficult to have any joy, for what is made by what I might as well label as a massive group of philistines, that contribute to almost no single constructive ideas they even bother to put on paper.

Yesterday I tried to get into GT series (of course with huge wait of 17 minutes till race start, because no other playlist was kicking off sooner), managed to get few laps in training, I decided to do qualifying laps and... well, track was disappearing what made me just exit the game and play something else.

    i was a child who grew up with an first gen 360 and playing fm4 with my dad/mom, i used to absolutely love everything about the game, the forzavista being narrated by clarkson, the singleplayer games, the introduction to new classes and etc. so i am totally biased when it comes to reviewing forza games, but i think that FM8 is great when you start to play for the first hours or so, because you dont pay attention to all the flaws it has, and youre blinded by the nostalgia of playing a brand new motorsport game after so much time, half of the things you mentioned on this video i didint even realized were there when i played it. but i tottaly agree on what you are saying now. comparing both FM4 and FM8, 12 years apart, it still feels that fm4, no matter if the graphics are much worse, or the physics are bad, it still has that one touch of life in it that i cannot explain. its more satisfying to play the game, replay it for hours and etc.
    although, i still have hope that the people in turn10 and microsoft aknowledged that this attempt of the whole "build from the ground up" stuff did not work at all, and try to cope better with gran turismo, that still has that one touch that i always feel in FM4.

    I always thought that the racing community tends to be a bit too harsh on modern racing games, but Forza, in general, has to be the biggest exception.
    Since Motorsport 5, the ente Forza franchise has been built with and from lies and deception, and this... this game has to be the biggest insult in racing game history (maybe just behind Flat-out 3, but not by much).
    I hope this continues. I hope people complain about Forza when Horizon 6 comes out. But considering how easy to satisfy the Forza community is, I doubt it. And worst if it is set in Japan or something.
    As always, great video, man.

    Bravo. Thank you for making this video. I've nearly 3000h across FM5, 6 and 7, made so my friends on those games, spent countless afternoons and evenings racing with and against people, chatting in party chats, etc. etc. and it's so sad to see this is what this game has come to. I guess all good things come to an end, and I'm glad I dodged a bullet and didn't buy this game.

    Ive been a game pass subscriber for a long time now, we were told that game pass wouldnt result in games getting worse. I think its safe to say, there has been a massive degradation of first party studios! When the crap hits the fan with halo redfall and so on, xbox say "we hear you". They seem pretty quiet right now. Really disappointing.

      There is a big and really depressing issue here: the big rival, Gran Turismo 7, is also in a massive (content) downgrade spiral since GT 4. Without a serious contender there's no incentive to get back on track to greatness. Why should they? In today's day and age they make massively more money with dlc than the game itself for a fraction of the costs.
      Back in the day they needed a great game as console seller but nowadays they can't produce enough consoles to even meet the demand.
      I wish there were a big light at the end of the tunnel but right now there's only a flickering coming from passionate Indie-devs.

    I can relate to the depressing feeling after a loss of save progress. On a few occasions, all of my save data on Forza Horizon 4 and 5 completely disappeared. After that, I didn’t really want to play any more of the Horizon games and looked forward to the latest Motorsport game as I enjoyed playing FM4 growing up. Luckily I saw reviews first and did not purchase FM8, as the trend in the industry right now is to release buggy unfinished games. Nowadays I mostly just play Assetto Corsa. There are few racing games like it and it scratches the sim racing itch for me.

    I really think that there is a lot of room for a really good track racing game on the market. Literally all racing games that have come out in recent years have received quite poor reviews. The best one being GT7, but even that game suffers from a single player much worse than its predecessors...

    I was extremely excited for this game and played it the minute of launch on Oct 10th. Immediately noticed the strange washed out look to the game, the poor graphics even on ultra, and the insanely awful understeer. I've been playing since FM4 and I've never been a fan of multiplayer or campaign and have always mostly stuck to free play and have loved it in FM4, FM6, and FM7, so that's what I tried first and almost immediately I found myself not enjoying it at all for some reason. I decided to give it a few more day to see if I would end up liking it, and I didn't, so I re-installed FM7 on my PC and have been playing it since Oct 13th without missing FM8.

    I tried the 100,000 challenge time trial and I found that there were some hackers on the leader board. This dude did the whole lap and then slowed down in front of the finish line so that he has a realistic looking time. That's when I decided to go have dinner instead. I use a G29 and the force feedback coming from this game is abysmal and the car spins on almost every curb, even with good tuning and tons of setting changes. Asetto Corsa Competizione gives extremely tight control with my exact same setup with its default settings and I can actually feel the track and drive without a racing line at all, in Forza without the racing line it just feels weird and the track markers are so difficult to spot. Also some of the cars come with horrendous default setups, like 40% front brake bias as default that you can not change until you unlock the race brakes or the Dodge SRT that comes with Drag slicks as default. I have a live stream on my channel where I tried the 100K challenge and then went to eat instead. It's a frustrating, unplayable game.

    Some guy who left T10 made a youtube video about the development of FM and apparently most people in the studio are contractors that can't work full time and every 1,5 years, leave the studio, making new employees continue development without any idea of what the previous people were trying to do.
