The radar has totally enhanced the game for people using hood cam view, the visual improvements are also a big step in the right direction. Perhaps this is peak Forza now. I imagine things will only get better from this point and will continue to evolve over the next couple years. The endurance races are some of my best Forza experiences, it’s been amazing good times on the track lately
@@shitoryu8 really unfortunate that the game couldn’t launch in its current state as many players have abandoned the game. For me the physics were the best in the series from the start but there were too many other shortcomings keeping me from truly enjoying the game. Feels like proper Forza no no doubt
@michaelnight9162 I hear ya, the game was far from finished. Such is modern gaming 😮💨 hopefully more people jump on cause there is lots of fun to be had especially in multiplayer
Had a weird bug where, at the start, I ended up underneath another car. Of course, i was handed a 2.75 sec penalty. Sometimes, this game just makes you laugh
On the braking point thing, as a hard driving line crutch, your often told to brake at that crest. A dab of brakes there also helps settle the nose to turn in for the cork screw. So not super uncommon, but it can catch a faster driver out following someone that doew that
Yes, people have different styles at driving and cars also have different brakes and characteristics. So for me where "your" braking point is, is never a argument anyway for me. Its your job not to rear end other drivers, end of story! He should have kept his distance, going full throttle at this section inches away from a car is just a bit reckless.
I think this would only work the best if you’re in cockpit view or ground view. but no complaints-because GT7 still has theirs in the bottom of the screen
You sound just like me while racing..... Really enjoyed this type of video.... I also agree, regarding the radar, could do with being ever so slightly lower on screen 👍
As a rig user only inside view this is great, not sure why we can't have mirror as well. Project Cars 2 is still amazing for console but Forza M8 is better wheel physics for me.
The rectangular design looks better than GT’s triangular ones, at least you could see the corners to avoid contact. But popping up on the center of the screen feels weird.
I saw no racing quality improvements last night with the radar but like you said, it’s probably because it doesn’t come on default. Though I doubt much will improve anyways lol Also no stop FTW at Laguna.
Depends on what you call a comeback by realism-oriented racing game standards. This is never going to be more popular than Horizon, no matter how good the game is.
1:43 watch the left side of the car around the rear wing, there's a few proximity arrows that appear to warn about a car going down the start finish straight, hilarious Radar looks great, shame it took this long but better late than never I suppose, hopefully this is the start of an upward trend
just picked fm8 up 2 days ago and was really impressee by the radar (and confused since I thought peope had complained about the lack of real radar) any recommended tweaks for controller? I dropped my deadzones to 0 but not sure if there's anything else that should be changed
That's about it, if you're going to use manual w/clutch, you'd normally swap handbrake and clutch, but it's different in this game, and if you're using anything with a race gearbox, you can have manual w/clutch on and not use the clutch at all, and it's quicker, this video explains it more ua-cam.com/video/YPPAePwIzpQ/v-deo.htmlsi=jR94kfbaMQFmB0W1
So am I the only one who can’t get it on no matter what I’ve done reinstalled, tried single player multiplayer defaulting and turning it back on etc etc… still no luck Side note should be breaking at the crest especially doing 200 in a doge you break or fly
It would be better if it showed tye orientation of the car, because even though you may see a car sideways in front of you, what if there was another in front of it that was also sideways or backwards you didn't see and just thought was going straight because the rectangle only points in one direction? Or for tandem drifting, where angle matters? Or rally[cross]?
Hey buddy thanks for the info on the radar. I wasn’t even aware that this was a thing as I only come on for GT spec racing so don’t even really read over the update notes. I was driving the Ford GT in this race and it was great battling through the field with you. But up till now I wasn’t even aware that I was racing it bone stock with no tune!! 😂 So greatly appreciate the info about the PI changes to a few of the cars! A subscribe for you my man and I hope to meet you again soon in a future lobby. 🤙
@@JustDevon thank you brother, Laguna is one of my favourites. I love the technicality of it especially that little left hand dipper with the sausage kerb before you start heading up the hill towards the corkscrew. Before they split the classes my usual go to for this track was the Aston and with it I was managing mid - high 22s on softs, high 23s on mediums and mid - high 24s on hards so I knew something wasn’t quite right but I originally just chalked it up to not having used the GT there before. So good to know I’ll be sure to re tune it when I’m next on.
I think that when you push the stick forward and the car can't drive straight and the pause at half lock is game breaking for me. It's sad cause the feeling otherwise is superb.
I played in South Africa for many years and the connection I have in Australia is a bunch better than it was there. I don't always have poor network, and actually don't notice it most of the time. And it went away halfway through the race so it wasn't too bad to begin with
with the Driver Suit changing, I get it with most suits, where it defaults back to that ugly orange one you start with. The Bridgestone suit makes my computer crash to desktop. Makes my Xbox crash to dashboard. Guess that is not on their priority list to fix.
There was a point when I could come back and still find myself rocking the black purple vip suit. I think after the 3rd update it started defaulting back to that ugly orange. Not sure if the change was intentional or not but it definitely sucks. Not getting the crash the Bridgestone suit on series x, probably should report that one

I'm having a blast with the game at the moment. It's improved drastically and most of my lobbies are full.

Was wondering why my Porsche was so horrible yesterday. Had so much understeer on a tune that was perfect before.
Had a weird bug where, at the start, I ended up underneath another car. Of course, i was handed a 2.75 sec penalty. Sometimes, this game just makes you laugh
The radar is in the perfect place, especially if uve got used to ACC radar and better than having to look away from Infront you like GT7
This should be enabled by default in multiplayer
Going to be completely game changing for wheel users that radar it's so hard not to tap people with just arrows
I hope they plan on adding a lot of gt3 cars to help the class out. I also hope they add an Aston Martin gte car to GT2.
Adding the Vantage GT3 while they're at it would be good

The rear view mirror option should be available for all views. Why not give us the option.

No stop is surely not possible?
@@JustDevondid it in the Aston before they swapped to GT2. Last couple laps suck but the pit time is like a minute so it’s worth it.
@@JustDevon You lose 40 seconds in the pitlane at laguna now, you could do it in any car
@@ESV_Greenbut the hards can last 11 laps?
@@JustDevon not at all, but its still faster LMAO
Could turn 10 pull the greatest comeback with this game?
My money is on "No".
@@wwjnz9263 bet
It's too late
Depends on what you call a comeback by realism-oriented racing game standards. This is never going to be more popular than Horizon, no matter how good the game is.
No. I reinstalled it the other day to have a go on the endurance races, but it is still a game with no soul.

“Told you” 😂😂😂😂
I enjoy with the face cam
Radar works and looks good.
never thought id see a sim racing-like feature on FM
incredible scenes
Zodiac can’t keep getting away with it fr 😮
Put map where the
Map is will override map when cars are close then go bk to map when clear
The only thing about the radar is that a lot of people in forza don’t know how to block correctly leading to a lot of dirty blocking
Thanks for showing that drivers in this game are still ignorant and dirty
Keep doing that.
Been really enjoying GT2.
Do you use normal or simulated steering on the controller?
Normal is better for avoiding sim twitches. Besides this, there’s not much of a difference.
I used to use sim but I use normal now because I don't play as much as I used to
I want this in career
vip suits also reset
just picked fm8 up 2 days ago and was really impressee by the radar (and confused since I thought peope had complained about the lack of real radar)
any recommended tweaks for controller? I dropped my deadzones to 0 but not sure if there's anything else that should be changed

Finally they did at least one thing right.
You sound like a spoiled 5 year old just saying
So am I the only one who can’t get it on no matter what I’ve done reinstalled, tried single player multiplayer defaulting and turning it back on etc etc… still no luck
Side note should be breaking at the crest especially doing 200 in a doge you break or fly
Radar seems a bit pointless in 3rd person view.
okay that was fun to watch.
They really should diminish the tire wear cause lap to lap handling changes way too much.
It would be better if it showed tye orientation of the car, because even though you may see a car sideways in front of you, what if there was another in front of it that was also sideways or backwards you didn't see and just thought was going straight because the rectangle only points in one direction? Or for tandem drifting, where angle matters? Or rally[cross]?
Yeah I agree with that
Yes, very enjoyable 😊.
Like deployed 👍

Wow. Its obnoxious but it works
3:29 but you still cant fix stupid 😂

Great video, I love this style! And great race man.
Radar came, cars handle like crap and the penalty system is ridiculous.
How the hell do you race with poor network?? It’s awful.
I played in South Africa for many years and the connection I have in Australia is a bunch better than it was there. I don't always have poor network, and actually don't notice it most of the time. And it went away halfway through the race so it wasn't too bad to begin with
Really enjoyed the video!
The addition of the radar was an absolute must and now we finally have it!

The radar ui is horrid looks like it was just slapped together
I have similar feelings on that, hopefully it gets worked on over time, but for now I'm relieved it exists
@@TinyBearTim got play ACC and compare it to their radar, it's similar style and it works
@fuzzybear86 I know it works but the whole games menus and ui look horrible
Oh come on. It’s unobtrusive and it just works.
