Honestly T10 just has the wrong people leading them IMO. Dan was great at the start but the whole strive for super accessibility in later games really fractured the core of FM. FM4 was the absolute peak where that stuff only just really started to take hold. Chris Esaki seems to be created in a T10 lab as a walking PR machine spouting the same stuff we've heard over and over. It's all about your journey and the cars are the heros blah blah absolute useless speak to try and appeal to more casual gamers i suspect. They don't seem to know or even care what their core fans actually want. And yet this is the "rebooted" Forza Motorsport? I dno man.

Couldn't agree more. Especially the line about Esaki being created in a T10 lab. lol
I dont need them to build some hardcore sim or anything, but they dont seem to realize that chasing this more mainstream audience so hard is watering down the games to a point where it appeals less to everybody. And with the existence of Forza Horizon, there's greater room to make a more focused game, which will actually appeal to plenty of other less 'core/hardcore' types through good word of mouth. I mean, that's exactly how GT became so huge. GT sells boatloads of copies to more mainstream/casual types without designing the games to cater to them specifically.
Spending even 20 minutes of grinding just to level up a car so I can make it driveable or competitive is bad. If the parts I need to get the car performing how I'd like it require even more than that, that's gonna be very annoying. And there's times where even after some upgrades, I still just discover a car isn't ever gonna handle how I like and so I abandon it. The idea of spending an hour to unlock some parts hoping I can transform a car into something better and then having all that time come to nothing sounds super frustrating.
And I'm somebody who doesn't just jump from car to car every race. I absolutely like to spend time with certain cars and get to know them. But I like to have choice in what car I do that with, and I like that time to be spent driving it at its best in competition, not 'leveling it'.
There were reflections on the bonnet during the races, no?
may not be RT, it's done since a long time in racing games, it's easier to apply this kind of reflections in bonnet view
But it also states not final build, so let's wait for the final release, either way, RT reflections during gameplay is nice but also a waste of ressources when they are limited on consoles, simple SSR would do the job well, keep the RT for replays.
You need to provide context to your post, you can't just post a picture with no context.
If ti's SSR it's pretty convincing.
There's a section in the gameplay video above at the beginning of 'car mastery' where they have an internal cockpit view. The angle of the inner under bonnet, which cannot reflect the road infront, is properly reflecting an angle that is not being rendered. It's a completely different plane than what's in front. I'm not sure if we are viewing a replay for instance.
So I'm not 100% sure, there's definitely SSR happening especially in 3rd person view.
Oh for sure. I've been fooled many times. But this time, I don't see how they did it.
If you look at this particular part of the hood here, which is underneath and facing the wrong angle, it's receiving reflections from an angle that is not in the render view entirely.
I've highlighted the most obvious point, which is when the sun shows up.
You can fast forward anywhere around there looking at that particular piece of metal and notice it's reflecting something entirely off screen.
you can reflect something off screen with cubemaps, like the reflection of the driver's helmet in GT7, you can even see reflections on the helmet in the reflection of the helmet.
But GT7 during gameplay does not even use SSR, it use some low quality cubemaps with lot of pop in

Yea in comparison however, it doesn’t look anywhere as bad as that. That’s why I’m not sure. Whatever they are doing with Forza, It’s a much stronger solution than what is here.
Did anyone watch the latest deep dive into physics and AI? Genuinely impressive improvements, I'm actually pretty shocked (maybe I shouldn't be) at how poor previous FM AI was, they couldn't feather throttle or brake pedal, was completely binary inputs and. I knew about the rubberbanding though which IMO has never had any place in any game calling itself a simulator.
The comparison between AI lap times on the hardest difficulty FM7 vs FM is crazy too!
