Surprisingly, the eighth Forza Motorsport game isn't called Forza Motorsport 8. In addition, you can imagine how changes in the time of day and weather, along with the new tire wear modeling and all of the new compounds lead to a much deeper driving and racing experience.” “We’re working on things like track temperature and how it affects things like grip and tire pressure, and tire wear. Tire compounds such as hard, medium and soft will deepen the gameplay and racing strategy, and Esaki said it will lead to “exciting new gameplay decisions during a race.”Įnvironmental factors will also need to be taken into account in Forza Motorsport, and have the potential to make each lap feel different, according to Esaki. Multiple tire compounds have been confirmed for Forza Motorsport, a first for the series. That’s a 48x fidelity jump for a single tire collision. In Forza Motorsport, there are now eight points of contact with the track surface, and the engine will refresh at 360 cycles per second (360Hz). From the first game to Forza Motorsport 7, tires have always had a single point of contact with the track surface, and refreshed at 60 cycles per second (60Hz). It’s basically a huge generational leap coming to the game.”Īccording to Esaki, the tire collision model has also been overhauled. “To put the physics work into perspective… the changes we made from Forza Motorsport 7 till now, is more than the changes we made from 4 through 7. Though Forza Motorsport isn't mentioned explicitly in the blog post, it's possible that it could fall under this umbrella of first-party games.Ī 'huge generational leap' over previous gamesĬhris Esaki, the game's creative director, shared details on how Forza Motorsport’s physics have evolved from Forza Motorsport 7.

In a post to the Xbox Wire blog, Microsoft says that it will be using its cloud streaming technology to serve up games that require the Xbox Series X/S’s power in order to deliver them to the last-gen Xbox One.
