I'll Begrudgingly Buy Forza 7 This Year

The only reason I still have my Xbox 360 is to play Forza 4. To date, I’m still in the top 1% in lap times on many tracks with the smart fortwo. My “smart hayabusa” tune is the most downloaded tune for the car for years running, the same with my dozens of paintjobs too.

Looks like the latest iteration doesn’t have any variant of my little smarts, yet there are 4 Minis and other cars seem to get multiples too. The Renault Twingo is also missing. Yes, I will openly admit to feeling salty too. :P

I wish these racing games had more “normal” cars, you know? I mean, I get it, we drive normal boring cars and racecars are more interesting...But who hasn’t dreamed about putting ALL THE POWER into their lame daily driver and drifting it around some famous circuit? Triton V10 E-Series Ford drifting around Laguna Seca with ladders on the roof and painted like a plumbing van? Or like, winning a race with a crazy powerful Kia Rio or something? SIGN ME UP!

Anyway, I guess I will pick up Forza 7. I do like the oddballs like the Ford Bronco, Jeep Trailcat, and all the Porsches! I haven’t bought a Forza game since the first Horizon and Forza 4, so guess it’s time to get back in!

Gran Turismo is, AFAIK, better for the oddball shit (especially if it’s Japanese, though), but I refuse to buy from Sony, and unlike Forza, there’s not a PC version.

I’m considering buying an Xbox One to play this! I haven’t owned a console since the Sega Megadrive II that I had.

You’re in for a big surprise.

Have graphics improved much since then?

I got the 6 bundle and honest i havent found much to really interest me that they added. The lack of low tier stuff is a sad omission and since they took out the mazda spirit R theyve not added many vehicles that im in love with.

Maybe when they sell it next year with lots of dlc packaged in

I didn’t know people bothered to tune and race the smart. Has to be one of the least enjoyable cars to drive that game.

Most people seem to ignore it, which I guess made it even more special for me. It’s an epic car for Tag too since it can just like spin like a top.

Bribe it with a new graphics card.

“Hey, c’mon, we’ll get you some upgrades! Huh? Who’s a good PC?!”

Or is this a processor issue, lol?

It just works? You just pop in the xbox game?!?

processor is fine 17-4770 but my powersupply unit is puny and my motherboard doesnt have the space for a multi slotted graphics card... im pretty much as good as i can get without swapping the board n psu...

bought this one readymade from a shop.... price was right...figured it was a pretty good platform to start from for upgrading..... didnt count on it having a custom motherboard.

will build my next one myself again

Digital version, lol. It’s call “XBOX Play Anywhere.” You buy the digital version and you can download it to your XBOX One and your PC and play it on either one.

Oh that’s weird. What if I don’t have an Xbox? Does it stream the game from the xbox to the PC?

No, it has it’s own standalone XBOX software for the PC. You have to have Windows 10 though.

Just read up on it, looks like I’d need to upgrade at least my graphics card, I have a Radeon 6870 right now, it’s getting a bit long in the tooth. Not sure if my i5 2300 is up to the task either.

Probably not. Might want to jump up to the i7, lol.

Yeah, I’m just going to have to build a new computer at some point anyway. Or get a gaming laptop. I dunno! Or I could just get an Xbox One, but now I’d want the X...

I just finished reconnecting my triple-screen Forza 4 setup (I can switch between PC and the three XBOXs using the same wheel setup). It’s so much fun, and that’s mostly what I’ve been playing the last few weeks. I am pretty excited that I will finally be able to race the 1973 911 RS at Maple Valley again in Forza 7.

Still sucks that they don’t support multi-screen with XBONE or the new PC version. (You can stretch the image on PC but it’s not true triple screen support).

I’ll have to check out the Smarts.....one of my other favorite cars to race in Fourza is the old Beetle, once again at Maple Valley.

I totally agree with the “normal cars” part. I wish I could drive a Toyota Camry around the Nürburgring, dammit.
