Creative Director Reveals All the Features Forza Motorsport Would Be Missing at Launch

Developed by Turn 10 Studios, Forza Motorsport is a critically acclaimed racing simulation video game series. The meticulously designed cars and cutting-edge graphics of the game are providing a realistic racing experience for years. The latest season, which is Forza Motorsport 8, has been announced to be released on 10th October 2023. Considering its past records, the game is evolving with every season. But will season 8 be able to offer a deeper level of customization, immersion, and realism?

Chris Esaki, Creative Director of Forza Motorsport, has shared technical details about the upcoming season in a recent interview on Forza’s official YouTube channel. Here, he mentions a number of aspects that will not be available in the new season along with the reasons.

Omitted features of Forza Motorsport 8

Forza Motorsport 8 will not have the Spectate Mode and AI competitors at launch. As Chris has explained, the players are going to have a featured Multiplayer event which doesn’t align with having Spectate Mode. And having AI competitors can affect the gameplay in terms of safety rating. Apart from these, he also mentioned the absence of the Split screen feature – “Our heavy investment in pushing our new graphical features and our complete overhaul of the rendering engine made split screen really difficult to implement…”

Anyway, Forza Motorsport 8 is coming up with a bunch of new features which will cover the absence of features like – Splits Screen, Spectate Mode, and AI. The players are going to have 100 brand new vehicles which are able to 20 types of constantly changing environments, 800 unique upgrades, and a fully customizable single-player career mode.

Fans’s Reaction on Chris’s Revelation

After this huge revelation, Forza Motorsport players are anticipating multiple ideas about the upcoming series. While some fans already predicted these changes, some fans have praised Chris Esaki for his wise choice of in-game techniques. A fan here seems to be really excited about the race tracks in Forza Motorsport 8.

Anyway, not everyone is happy with the details Chris has revealed! A user named @dreampagex seems to be really upset.

Apart from positive and negative thoughts, this recent revelation has triggered some important questions among players. @roastincoffee seems to ask here about the inclusion of AI in private races of Forza Motorsport.

The technical aspects of Forza Motorsport 8 may receive mixed reviews, but everyone is excitedly waiting for the new series to come out. Forza Motorsport is a huge name in the racing game community. In the new series, while there are some technical deficiencies, there will be some added mechanisms too. So, as a Motorsport fan, I am holding my hopes high to be surprised by the new season.
