Forza Motorsport 8

[G. Brzęczyszczykiewicz]

Bro do you even Fujimi Kaido?

Really is a mega game, I still have a 360 as there are a few games including this that aren't back compatible annoyingly!

Just dropping this here. Bit of a faff to set up initially but I've now got it running perfectly at 100+ fps and it's just as good as ever 👌

Forza 4 has never looked or felt better tbh

Proper jealous of that, Polished F4 would be mega to play again on Xbox

That's awesome

Yep, peak Forza. I don’t think that’s rose tinted glasses either, it was just the best.

Had some proper good times on it, back in the old days when all my mates hadn't had kids and you could get away with sitting for hours each night pissing about on it

Definitely not rose tinted glasses, it was mega

Downloaded this through game pass to try, felt okay on controller in the living room and seemed to work pretty well on my Fanatec from whenever Forza 4 came out.

Keep wondering if we should just all pile onto it for a race every now and then with it being fairly accessible.

I don’t think custom lobbies are a thing in FM8 if that is what you are after?

You can still have a custom/private lobby in this game.

I've not played this for weeks actually, shame.

 

[Adamm.]

Custom lobbies are a thing and I'd be up for that.

Ah I thought I read differently. Thanks!

Im the same, haven’t played since well before Xmas. Don’t really have a desire to either to be honest.

Have they sorted the upgrade system out yet? Not touched it since release

They lowered the tiers so you could upgrade quicker but it’s still a ball ache.

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah the car leveling really ruins the game especially for a casual player that just wants to jump on and upgrade a car now you have to drive it for an hour+ until you can do what you want with it.

They should have stuck to the old format, or at least done it by brand instead of per model.

Yeah I see what they was trying to do but in practice it's terrible. Probably put a lot of potential new players off too sadly. I agree that it should have been either the old format with using money etc or at least do it per manufacturer.

An attempt will be made next Friday night, 20:30 ish start. Probably just a load of stock cars but will have a look.

The @mace¬ Commiseration Cup begins. Get in Discord if ya can.

 

[Jonnio]

It looks like you can "rent" any car but won't get XP unless you own it.

Can't tune rented ones. There are 24 spaces in the server! I'd recommend downloading through xbox/pc game pass if you don't already have the game. This may well be short lived! 😆

Friday 19th 20:30 til ????

Just found that you can invite 5 people to game pass for a 14 day trial. I've got 4 left if anyone wants one.

They’re changing the car levelling system apparently.

 

[Adamm.]

The wording still sounds a little bit concerning but hopefully it's going down the right track although sadly for a lot of people might be too late.

 

[realnumber 1]

I've hardly played this one and played the others to death. With the car progression thing and the way the online races have the practice time etc is boring. There should be an option to just hop into a lobby and get straight into racing like before.

I'm on racing games strike until Fanatec complete my order.

Fair! 🤞

 

[mace¬]

Fair! 🤞

They are wearing me down though, definitely got more staying power than me.

They are probably thinking 139 days...... pfffft we can f**k this up for twice that.

 

[Jonnio]

Just got an update for it downloading, need to figure out how I'm getting my mic to the steering wheel in a bit. 🤔

 

[Jonnio]

Was good fun! Also need some shitter players to join so I've got someone to race at the back. Need to figure out why I could barely set off in 75% of the cars we picked, that would help a bit. 😆

It was good fun indeed 🤣

Made a nice change from the tension / frustration of WZ 🥹

I was somewhat mystified by the dynamics of a fwd track focused r26r managing a 4 wheel drift, but I’ll take it 🤣

 

[Adamm.]

Yup was a nice change up from WZ and was a good laugh.

 

[Ray Gin]

So I just setup a game pass membership and download this for free right?

“What’s your overtaking technique Adam”

“It’s called the love tap Cub, let me show you it in action”

Correct.

So how did you get your mic to the steering wheel in the end Jonnio….

👀🤣

I think that was my safety net after realising there's no such thing as a clean pass on Cub 👀😂

These are awesome no matter how old or bent they are. #enjinear #neverthrowanythingaway

 

[Ray Gin]

I've got this downloaded but I'll wait until I've got an Xbox controller before I play as it's a nightmare trying to get a PS5 controller to work on PC.

For the introductory race I had to drive a Zonda using W A S D

 

[Jonnio]

Nearly got a Skyline to level 30 just doing Rivals time trials all night. Definitely more of a slog than it should be to get those car points.

Gonna try setting it up for A/S class as @Adamm. suggested.
