    Re: Forza Motorsport Early Access Available Today

    Played the first five Motorsports to death! Never played 6 or 7, but I hopped on this with the premium upgrade via Game Pass and enjoying it so far. Really, really disappointed about the complete lack of any stats page of any kind. Hopefully this is added very soon and not a year from now. I always loved to look back to see my overall stats, per car, etc.

    Looking forward to hopping into the online multiplayer! The skill level + safey rating matchmaking sounds incredibly promising.

      I got it on PC last night and played it, it's got incredibly cool physics and the car handles really well, even though I am not skilled at this point.

      However, it does not run well on my system (i5-12600 4.8Ghz, 3080 RTX 16Gb, 32Gb DDR4 Corsair RAM, SSD 4th gen, and had to set the graphics to medium and no ray tracing to get an acceptable frame rate. I can usually play most racing games on ultra or mostly ultra, just for context. I game at near 4K just to be clear though: 3840 x 1600 @ 100Hz.

      This one may be one to play on XSX for a while until it's patched. I have a 4080 coming today so hopefully that helps some but I'm hearing it's in dire need of some updates to make it run much better on PC

        Running decent on the Rog Ally, albeit on Low 720. But it looks good and running between 30-60 fps, mostly 50-60 though. Can’t wait to try this on my PC once I get home from work.

          Runs vastly better when I switched to AMD FSR instead of Nvidia DLSS, despite the fact I have a Nvidia card. Getting about 70 FPS now at 3840 x 1600 Ultra.

          Here is a clip of a night race in the rain..

          and the instant replay

            I'm playing the game from game pass with the $35.00 upgrade for early access. I've run a bunch of time trials to check out different cars and tracks. I've also started the career mode.

            This is easily the best Forza since Forza 4. They have finally figured out that real cars actually can grip the road, no more driving on black ice, yay!!!!

            The game feels very smooth, I'm using a controller and the handling is great. The game looks great, but I'm not blown away by the graphics like I was when I first played GT7.

            The A.I. is decent, although a couple times I've been penalized when they side swipe me. I'm going to turn the difficulty up a bit a see if they perform better. I started with the A.I. at 4 but they are braking way too much going into the turns so I'm going to up it to 6. Like past Forza games after a day or three and I get the feel down the A.I. ends up set a max difficulty.

            I'm really liking it so far, but I fear with the limited number of tracks it may get stale soon. I hope they plan to release some track packs in the near future.

              preordered the premium deluxe and got to play a bit yesterday. my first Motorsport since I switched from PS4 to XBS and needed to fill the void of a new sim racing game. Played the new Horizons off game pass but I think my 6 year old daughter had more fun getting the car stuck in random places lol

              as for this, I'm really enjoying it and I like the RPG style of leveling up cars. It's a whole new series for me so I can't comment on the changes from older games. For now, it seems like a great game, that looks wonderful on my TV. This will break up my time playing Madden.
              Currently playing:
              Madden 26
              MLB The Show 25
              Super Mario Wonder
              Pokemon Unbound

              Teams:
              New York Mets
              New York Jets
              Philadelphia Flyers

                I like it and am having fun. Running on 4k high with 60fps. Think I missed a setting that locks fps though. Glad my yellow Camaro is in the game that I love.

                    Went to New Zealand yesterday for a little early access. Didn’t get too much time in but I was really impressed with what I played. The two things that stud out to me immediately was the sense of speed, better than any game I’ve ever played, as well as the graphics. It looks nothing like GT7, and I don’t mean that in a bad way, it’s just different. GT7 is very vibrant and pleasing to the eyes. While Forza is more inline with what you see in the real world, looks more like ACC or iRacjng. Sometimes I forget this is a game when they show some cut scenes with the RT on. Also the reflections off the cars are absolutely the best I’ve ever seen in a racing game.

                      PC needs more optimization, but I'm having fun playing one of these again. Bought the first 3 or 4 when they released back in the day, but stopped playing the series once I went with the PS3 over the Xbox One back in the day.

                      This is my first time back with the series and it's nostalgic playing this again. It feels much more like the original game which is great.

                          Yeah the crash physics are actually pretty incredible, especially compared to GT7. Just wait until you see someone flip during an online race, it’s awesome lol.

                            I saw a big wreck yesterday! No one flipped but there was smoke and fire and holy, I did hit my button to capture it but stupid Nvidia thing wasn't turned on, but yeah this is an amazing game, I'm like a kid in a candy store

                              Having fun so far except for the forced 3 lap practice event before it will let you race. These laps accumulate time.
