On the other hand, the gearheads would love the simulation style gameplay offered by the Forza Motorsports lineup.Ī 1-minute Forza Motorsport 8 trailer was also released late in July 2020 at the Xbox Series X games showcase. This Microsoft exclusive franchise regularly comes up with two games, Forza Horizon and Forza Motorsport.įorza Horizon is a popular racing game for people who want to drive exotic cars in breathtaking locations around the world. As long as it's happening.Forza is one of the most popular racing games series on the Xbox and PC. And if that culture is digital, or in virtual spaces, sweet! That's awesome. I want them to be interested in car culture. “I want players to be interested in cars. On car love, car culture, and the potential for it to take off in the real world? “Frankly I don’t need it to” he says. By doing that he believes the team can create a grassroots movement about a love of going fast – to expand from the 100 million players to the several billion people who play games globally. Greenawalt treasures Forza’s ability to bring younger gamers into the motorsport community – to embed them into this competitive space. I think what we saw was, not the ‘wrestle-ification’, but the dramatisation of racing.” “ Netflix really captured that in a way that I don't think F1 of a decade ago was willing to, because it was gonna give power to the drivers. “There's an old quote that ‘wrestling is real and boxing is fixed’,” he says. But that “dramatisation” of F1 isn’t necessarily reflected in other forms of motor racing, muses Greenawalt. “I mean, thank you Netflix, right?” Hartman says of Drive to Survive, which has boosted Formula One’s appeal across the globe. The biggest change for both teams in the last five years has been cars and racing in our culture. This breathless pace of innovation has been ongoing since the turn of the century, having been fuelled early on by the arms race with Gran Turismo. It’s an original, high-speed Grand Prix circuit purpose-built to showcase the game’s next-gen shinies. There are of course new tracks, too, including Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, a South African track making its Motorsport debut, and the all-new Circuit Hakone set in Japan. Every car has been remodelled to the new power of Xbox's Series consoles, including advanced car damage that simulates destruction down to “individual scratches”. A day/night cycle, ray-traced lighting and unparalleled new details bring racing to life like never before. The immediate thing you notice is the detail – from the macro view of Maple Valley, with its burnt orange autumnal vibe, to the microscopic detail of flora on the grass beside the tarmac. And each of our titles keeps getting bigger.”Īt a private demo ahead of Xbox’s would-be E3 showcase, we get a glimpse of how this team of car nuts has pushed their vision for Motorsport. “With Forza Horizon 5 now reaching over 20 million players already. This is “rarefied air” in the gaming industry as a whole, Hartman tells us. Of course, eight is a numerical milestone that few gaming series have achieved without stumbling into middle age in search of rediscovering the golden touch of old. While Gran Turismo recently hit ‘7’ this year, Forza has gone from strength to strength with its own wildly successful Horizon spin-off series arguably becoming more beloved than the games that spawned it.
