Forza Motorsport Shows Off Gameplay And Graphics Deep Dive

During its showcase, Turn 10 Studios’ Creative Director Chris Esaki emphasized how the team “completely overhauled” the driving experience, making the game’s physics around 50 times more accurate. In fact, Esaki even calls it “the most technically advanced racing game ever made” (via Xbox). One of the biggest new “Forza Motorsport” features is the inclusion of a full dynamic time-of-day system. Unlike the more static and limited time cycle in previous entries, this robust system dynamically changes things like lighting and background activities throughout the track.

This includes temperature changes on the track that can affect your car’s performance. The title’s dynamic day-night system and weather effects aren’t just limited to certain race tracks like in past games, either; now they’re available on all of them. The complaints that its predecessor received included criticism of its simplistic and lackluster pit stop segment, where cars simply remain stationary and are magically repaired. However, “Forza Motor” changes that by adding improved pit stops that allow players to manage their car’s fuel and tires.
