Forza Insider Program Launched By Turn 10 To 'Drive The Future' Of The Series

Woo, we can actually have interaction with the dev team finally. Glad they've not abandoned the game

Free credits? Jeez, I already have several million unspent credits in the game 🙄

If they want QA or consultation then I would be happy to sign up on a proper contract with an actual wage. Otherwise Turn 10 can eat sand and stuff your free credits up your exhaust.

I say that as a passionate Forza player who plays this game daily.

Ive had no issues with the game, play it daily still. So not sure about these issues mentioned. Its a great game, just a little grindy with the currency when coming over from horizon.

I dont play online, and sometimes I have to play an open tour to get money to play a series.(ie buy the car)

This is with the premium version with vip bonuses so I can only imagine how bad it is for base game owners. Its a minor gripe though.

As for this preview program, sounds fun.

The sooner those non-racing game/car related devs at Turn 10 get their act together, fired or actually have a brain and understand hey, offer multiple modes like 1-7 have, better work out modelling cars, the physics model, original not just licensed tracks. That's a magical idea the idiots.

The QA/Consulting staff already don't know how to say hey this is more than just cars around a track, that's racing right? Tell me how car guy directors in racing game studios allow that to work & multiple other modes. Figure that one out. Stuntman is movie stunts, Burnout has crash mode and other things, Flatout races/derbies/obstacle course flinging the driver crash test dummy like. Wreckfest is modern Flatout and only races/derbies.

FM1-7 with bowling, touge/hillclimbs, drag racing, drifting, stunts, stylish driving, cone gates, sprint/1 lap magic (FM7/GT4) low on fuel challenges (GT), class based events with F to R1, etc.

Hot Lap Racing is pretty basic too but I can give them some slack the tracks are more compelling/goals are ok.

Too many artists/designers/animations looking at emails/other things & less imagination, while programmers/engine staff too busy clearly.

Using a car/prototyping is not that hard to come up with ideas for unless they have no brains or no talent/time to implement anything, they had 8+ years & none of the designers/artists or animators had any good ideas, let alone programmers/engine staff to busy.

Were too many looking at emails or other things to have a brain & come up with ideas to use a car besides racing around a track? Their imaginations must be wild. If FM7 can do it 8 can too.

Ever since FM2 I went eh the training tracks are fine but the really repetitive & lacking use of licensed tracks was a problem. Even in later entries the original tracks I can't even tell are fictional at all due to the flag/region they are set in and other than the wiki/some layout elements wouldn't event know any different. The series had more licensed tracks & I just got bored besides the progression/core modes being just more boring per entry.

They need more original tracks to prove themselves and fill in gaps where waiting or approving licenses is the case. Think about cars/physics/track design. I don't care if it isn't even perfect either.

I enjoy racing games arcade, sim, anti grav or licensed/no licenses & just fictional vehicles. The fact they can't look at others on the market or even OLDER games in the series/on the market as competition with better ideas at all & make the most generic, unoriginal, boring racing game so far is amazing.

It doesn't take not into cars dev staff to figure out hey this is what a racing game could need then 'we know there are cars, they race around race tracks (not other ways to use them), they have licensed tracks because of marketing'. Yeah wow it's the most hilariously mundane/pathetic, good/bad/shovelware ones not just high quality or advertising ones for their brands back in the OG Xbox days have better ideas/personality then FM8.

I'm not into motorsport but I still understand how to make a compelling racing game then FM8 is of a piece of garbage of ideas/execution.

Offer an actual good progression system then a pathetic one. 1-4 had region systems and curated/play any event structures. 5-7 changed and 6 was so boring/linear the side content was the best part. 5 & 7 were more fair.

Part 2:
The only good idea FM8 offered was the position selection/credits thing (something MX ATV games have but without the credits part), the upgrade system was a fine idea but for a racing game/HOW they handled it was bad.

The game's updates may have helped but it doesn't change some fixes or cars if the core game is pathetic.

The staff show how bad they are with 100s of race events & nothing genuinely fun to do it in. What a 8+ year restart of failure.

Even if I hate 6 it's still better then 8/Series consoles entry.

Sadly I have given up on the new Forza Motorsport already, and not due to a lack of me giving it a chance. I downloaded it back when it launched, deleted it, then downloaded it again months later after it supposedly had some big game changing updates. Still disappointed, deleted it again. Now I'm just done, moving on and going back to Gran Turismo 7, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and Forza 7 for my track racing fixes.

I say this all as a massive Forza Motorsport fan since the series originally launched. The always-online nature of it is what really ruined it for me. Getting rid of the leveling requirement really helped me enjoy it some, but at the end of the day, not having access to any of my cars if the game is offline is what makes the whole thing feel like a waste of time and effort.

"smoothest launch" and "teething problems" are the biggest understatements. The game was unplayable at launch and still has many bugs and glitches. I still play this relatively often cause of my brother, but my goodnes, it's still an absolute turd when compared to the competition. And now they want people to do their job for them? Classic....

I went to Turn 10 Studio's official website to see if it was possible. It was very female leadership pushed out. It's a great initiative.
I think the quality of Forza Motorsport is assured.
