Forza Motorsport 7

[phatboy]

First impressions, it does what Forza does best bridging the gap between arcade and sim. Looks glorious, runs well (1080p ultra solid 60fps) and car engine audio notes are bang on as always

Its good, but not good enough to make me want to stop playing 6 and fork out £40 on this before I complete it.

Roll on PCARS2 on friday

and don't get me started on the FFB with wheel

Don't think i will even bother plugging my wheel in to test it then based on your comment was expecting it though as it was pap with the last games also.

Oh well pad will have to do

I like it, playing it with a controller so I can't comment on wheel issues but I have played it a fair bit now and it's an enjoyable game.

Such a shame they think this is acceptable for a pc racing game using a wheel, it's horrendous. Did they not even try any other pc racing sims with a wheel for any type of research and reference.

The game looks incredible though, it's exactly how I've been calling it for months and months. With a controller it'll give you stunning car porn arcade fun, but it's not a racing game to be taken seriously anymore. Project Cars 2 and the other already released stunning racing sims will be required for that accurate racing.

Sums it up. All that amazing work they have put in with Fanatec and wheel guys hahaha.

Really impressed with how well this runs and looks on my 1050 laptop @ 1080p. Nicely optimised game....

Starting the game for the first time it crashed after signing in.

Second attempt it crashed after choosing the racing suit.

Third attempt it crashed while loading the track.

Forth time it crashed while turning the assists off.

I can't be bothered to try a fifth time, particularly after reading the comments on FFB and using a wheel and will uninstall.

No overlays or any other programs running. Makes me glad I never pre order games and yet another Microsoft fail in the PC market. Waste of time and bandwidth.

I was all set on getting project Cars 2, but this is a bloody good demo.

Pricey though..

Russia or Eygpt purchase, been mentioned a few posts back, mucho cheapo.

It runs much like Apex did for me, 60fps 80% of the time but hitching and stuttering at times I can only assume my ageing 2500K is the culprit

Ar running anything in the background like afterburner ? sometimes these can cause issues.

Is it just me or does the Porsche handle really badly on a controller?

The porsche is a beast you need to be more subtle on the throttle / brakes. Even with a wheel its a handfull.

Yeah I leave afterburner off for UWP games and run a pretty lean system in general - no bloat or tons of background stuff.

Setting the camera shake effect off in HUD menu made a noticable improvement to the smoothness, but seems it only applies after restarting the game. I think turning reflections and wet reflections from ultra to high helped a tad too, might be more cpu taxing than other settings.

Do some settings like car models only go up to high for anyone else?

 

[hyperseven]

Launched 1st time, no issues here

Just played through the 3 part of the demo, fun

4K@Ultra [email protected] from the benchmark (4790K & GTX 1080)

Only played on Gamepad, will set wheel up tomorrow, maybe see if 4K@60Hz@HDR is working via HDMI to lounge TV.

The sounds of his voice says it all.

PCARS2 or this?

 

[sgavan]

This runs perfectly at 4K everything set to max with AA disabled on my 1080ti, can't wait to get the full version, have that week off as well

^this and PCARS 2 are different games really, arcade/sim this is probably better but better sim pcars2 is probably the better option, but would need a wheel for that really. I enjoyed pcars 1 and will probably get the second one and this as well.

+1 with my 980ti / 6700K @4k.

I have already pre-ordered Pcars2!

 

[phatboy]

Rainforest has it £41.99 for the download code and you get £2 off if prime and pre order so £39.99. Seems a good price

When is this game out?
