wait so a bunch of cars in the game are only available through loot boxes, which cost a bunch of money and you have no control over what is in them. so if you want a ferrari 250gto you gotta blindly throw money at loot boxes until you luck into one. they do this at the same time they make vip a highly limited thing and are also planning microtransactions.

great forza is now falling down the microtransaction fee-to-pay hole that so many other lovely games have fallen down. fantastic. just what i wanted. amazing. wonderful. brilliant. thrilling.

gently caress modern gaming.

But some cars remain locked even once you gain access to their tier. These “exclusive content” cars are available through only five methods:

-Prize Crates
-Specialty Dealer
-Forzathon
-Completing the Forza Driver’s Cup
-Completing Showcase Events

When players first load up the game, they’ll find roughly 150 of the game’s cars fall under “exclusive content”. By our count, the career will hand out 25 of these, so there’s the bottom two bullet points sorted.

Five of those will be “Forza Edition” cars; T10-modified versions of existing cars that carry perks. Out of the 150 or so locked-away cars, over 30 are Forza Editions.

The Specialty Dealer is very much like the Online Car Dealership of GT5: limited-availability models show up in there. Right now, three vehicles are available to buy, and all three are otherwise unavailable in-game for purchasing. So when the lineup changes, you’ll want to act fast.

I was racing 'unbeatable' AI at Catalunya in the 'Breakout Open Championship' and was noticing some really weird behaviour from one of the AI behind me. On both the front and back straights he would close in on double the speed, then suddenly brake and deciding not to pass me.
I finished the race and checked the AI telemetry in the replay and his car had over 2,000kW!!!

This might be an unpopular opinion but I really don't enjoy racing the Renault F1 car.

Edit: and really don't enjoy buying one of the most expensive cars just to complete this dumb series.

I never played 5 or 6, but I was addicted to Forza 4. Words really can't describe how pissed I was when I first started trying to play 7.

DLC tomorrow?

Clue 1: Sometimes I like fish tacos, but other times I just prefer pasta with sausage.
Clue 2: If someone tells you that something is unnecessary or over-the-top, it’s probably something you actually want and you should talk to that other person anymore.
Clue 3: One-off, one-win wonder!
Clue 4: Long before the Hemi, there were other engines with hemispherical heads that radically improved performance. This car is one of them.
Clue 5: Bare bones and basic. You could chase or be chased in it.
Clue 6: This will become the oldest car in the Forza Motorsport series.
Clue 7: This is a rig that can truly do just about anything depending on the configuration.
For reference, some of the oldest cars in the game include the 1934 Alfa Romeo P3 and 1932 Ford De Luxe. It isn’t clear if Turn 10 is counting the Autovista-only Bentley 8-Litre from Forza Motorsport 4, either. That car was explorable in what would become Forzavista this generation, but was never available to drive.

The rest of the clues aren’t any easier. The third points towards the infamous Brabham BT46B “fan car”, but could be something else. Meanwhile, few cars are more bare bones than the Citröen 2CV, and that car was found in the data of Forza Horizon 3 during the summer.

Clue 4 has a lot of candidates. Lancia, Ford, Lotus, Porsche… they’ve all used hemispherical combustion chambers. Though in all but Lancias case, the usage wasn’t “long before” Chrysler’s popularization of the term.

And could that second clue hint at the Chiron, or a similarly outrageous hypercar?

Schommer has stated that all seven cars will be new to the franchise, so that eliminates any 360-era updates.

also this doubles as the global leaderboard which iirc before the only way to see it was just after a race

What's so good about driving a Lego F40 or Lego Mini when I can drive the normal, real life version?
