Aside from Maple Valley, the trailer showed off the return of fan favourites Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and Laguna Seca Raceway. The Turn 10 team also showcased the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, a South African track making its Forza Motorsport debut, as well as the all-new Circuit Hakone, a high-speed Grand Prix circuit created to demonstrate the new Forza Motorsport’s technically superior, state-of-the-art immersion.
Immersive and more dynamic than ever before
Forza Motorsport was created specifically to show off the Xbox Series X|S consoles. The new dynamic time of day, enhanced car damage, and real-time ray tracing on track, along with the realism of revised physics, result in a generational leap in immersion. Forza Motorsport is the most technologically advanced racing game ever created.
The fully dynamic time of day system, which brings circuits to life in spectacular detail and, like weather, will be available on every track, is key to Forza Motorsport. Changes in the time of day affect ambient temperatures, which affect track surface temperatures. Temperature fluctuations on the track, as well as rubbering in and weather, will effect your car’s grip. These new simulation aspects give the racing experience more depth, drama, and dynamics.
To take advantage of the capability of the Xbox Series systems, the Forza Devs have entirely revamped the basic driving experience. This includes a 48-fold increase in our physics simulation’s quality. To create the ideal racing playset, the team has added additional elements like tyre and fuel management, numerous tyre compounds, and more in-depth car building based on your feedback. The gold heat wrap, anodized aluminium, and carbon fibre are all brought to life in the trackside pits, where sophisticated materials and shaders combined with ray tracing bring out stunning realism. With their complicated self-reflection, ray tracing shines most in engine bays.
Display Your Battle Damage
Car damage is replicated down to the individual scratches on the bodywork in Forza Motorsport. The directionality of damage, how the paint tears away at exposed and elevated edges, wheel abrasions, and dirt build-up are all novel simulation aspects. Car damage is a fact in racing, and it has been faithfully recreated in the new Forza Motorsport.
