Forza Motorsport 7. A look at some tracks, Forza Horizon 3 skies, Dynamic weather
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Its probaby a option. There is a big casual market and now with dynamic weather in campaign it can be abit to confusing for casual players. Who have less of a clue when switching tyres etc.
There is also a option for grip outside of the circuit wich you can toggle. Making the grass more grippy so less change to spin.
Maybe Helios can give a answer?
at 3.22.. The way the clouds appear is quite strange ... like a dissolve in video..
Basically it's only three laps and the game wants to change weather quickly so it speeds up the sky video. If you do a 24 hour race it will just move in real time at the speed it was captured. Likewise if the dynamic weather chooses for the entirety of the race that its clear then it will also move in real time at the speed of capture.

Wtf...
I'm all for easing new players into racing games but we need to draw the line somewhere. You should at the very least be punished for going off track.

Wow, they finally added a zoomed in cockpit camera. Really love that since there are cars where really 50% of the screen was blocked by the cockpit. I prefer driving in cockpit camera, but on some cars it was really hard to use
OMG, the view when it switches to the dash with no steering wheel makes me want to buy a wheel for my XB1! So good.
They switch to it at 3:31 in the video.
Looks pretty nice also in the Porsche. It also a way more realistic look. In real life you dont see the wheel also and you look over it.

I'm hoping to have a standalone (its own screen) setup for my racing seat/wheel in my new house. This is going to look amazing with that camera view.

Clouds "just appear" in real life too. The only reason it happens so quick in that gif is because, as others have said, the race is on an accelerated timescale which makes the weather run quicker.at 3.22.. The way the clouds appear is quite strange ... like a dissolve in video..

I try not to be too critical of games but Jesus T10. Can they fix the damn arms and hands already? How many years has it been? They look so terrible. It's as if a zombie is driving or something.
Looking at PC2 and F1 and you see how hands can look so much better. Plus those games give a better representation of fighting a steering wheel during cornering and oversteer. Not this sterile crap T10 keeps giving us.

Think it looks pretty good. Maybe its the Radical car. But in the Porsche it looks pretty good to me.

The hold looks okay if you only see the hand but if you see the arm as well it doesn't look so hot IMO. Powerful cars also makes the driver fight for control sometimes and I don't thing the hand depicts that well.
Let's not forget that these screens grabs are probably from show floors where:
- The user is maybe playing with a pad
- There are probably assists turned on
Hopefully, when we see footage from a player playing on a wheel with all assists off, it should make those hands and arms look more "alive" at the wheel of a powerful car. If they still look a bit lifeless, then I would be worried because not only would that be a missed visual nuance, but it might also speak volumes about the "improved FFB".

Best thing they did adding a dash cam. I used to hate driving while sat in the back seat.

Yeah, I think I'll be able to see out of a Le Mans protocol in dash cam
I still won't be able to see out of the Veneno.

A nitpick but dear me the steering wheel rotation being so little looks bad here. The second gif looks like a hairpin and the wheel barely rotates.
Is that still a thing in FM? It's always looked daft in the past but I thought it was fixed in FM7?
Holy shit, game of the forever.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
With the oversteer from the back end that looks about right, to me.

I actually like the default cockpit view and will still be using it, but that dash cam will come in handy in the LMP races where you only have a tiny hole like in a tank. I actually kept using open top LMP cars in Forza 6 to stay competetive. ;p
