🎉 Thank you all so much for the incredible support throughout the whole year, no matter when you joined! Be that through memberships and donations or just watching and interacting with the videos in any way. It all means a lot to me. I really appreciate you being here! 🎉

fun fact: a model of the FordGT that appeared in the fm23 showcase was very detailed, but in the game, they used the same model as fm6, so whoever modeled that car had their work thrown in the trash...

I like single player because it helps discover new cars for open class races. I’m not a car guy generally so each cup having a theme really helps me see what different cars are like.

Only disagree on the sound, turn 10 used same engine sound for multiple cars. It’s blasphemous to use the aventador sound on the scv12

[MinerBenno]

As a casual driver online racing is not an option for me.
I really like the single player in FM. Many different series in career mode, earn money, buy cars, hunt your own track records or setup your own races.

Very happy about Sunset Peninsula. Fingers crossed for Fujimi Kaido next year.

Wahnsinnig sympathisch. Bin per Zufall auf dich gestoßen, weil ich Forza gerne nochmal eine Chance geben möchte. Es hat keine 2 Minuten gedauert und schon hatte ich wieder Lust, einfach weil deine Aufmachung, deine Stimme und die Art deines Videos es einfach schmackhaft gemacht haben; und das ohne das Video zu Ende geschaut zu haben.
Cooler Kanal 👍🏼

Me and my friend switched from GT7 to this because we just wanted a consistent way to join up and race people online in the same race. Something you cant really do in GT, you have to hope you end up in the same daily race if you sign up to it and the private lobbies are just dead 1 or 2 people in most of them and nobody joins a race that we set up so we just have to wait for ages, TLDR forza multiplayer good GT7 multiplayer bad

Single player is soulless.
Lexus LFA is a dream car. I just cannot bring myself to complete the championship - 900 hours in game so far.
I was here pre-release, and had the career save bug - may have ptsd bias.

I keep reinstalling it, playing a bit, then playing GT7 and realizing how much of a trash bin fire FM23 is, and deleting it again.

Every time I reinstall, it's the same gripes. It's a game ported from 2015... menus are bad, customizations are a joke, sounds are bad, interiors are junk... a gaudy wheel menu, and bugged lighting. It's just a mess. I play on Ultra on PC and at its best it looks like GT7 at its worst.

Couldnt agree more about the AI bit. Alot of the times if im side by side with an AI oponent. They'll just blindly follow the race line and punt me off the track like as if i was there. Doesnt help when they're like tanks

Excellent video HD. Pretty much sums up how I feel about FM. The next 12 months should be interesting with the Forza insiders program. All in all, things are looking good for the future on FM

[mbozzaotre]

Great video! I fully agree with your analysis.
This is a great game, with a very good driving model, suitable to a large variety of players. The multiplayer is impressive as well, while the single player isn't so attractive.
The graphics is superb on all the platforms.
I look forward for a long support from the producer.

Solid take on FM, can't wait for the 2 year overview :)

Love the light on the interior of the car ceiling. Not many games light that area, it'll just be black.

[BaileyChatty]

I cannot wait for my hometown Bathurst and Sunset Peninsula

My playtime on this game has been ramping up. Mostly playing single player but occasionally multiplayer - the penalty system has surprisingly made races more enjoyable as you don’t tend to get destroyed at the first corner as much and people are generally more considerate.
Day and night cycles look pretty great to me. Graphics look greatly improved although 4k/120hz would be nice!
Having a blast with the AI on career mode. Once you tailor the difficulty to your level then it feels competitive (with the exception of cars bunching up after race start - gets messy at the first corner).

Thanks for the video. My issue with this game is two-fold: single player career is weak and playing on PC after a while I had such issues with actually starting the game that 2 out of 3 times it simply didn't load from the Xbox PC app. Which is unacceptable. For these reasons I deleted the game and am now enjoying playing through Forza 4 on the X360. Back when this series was in its heyday.

[ShoelessJP]

A good video, appreciate you HDeeRacing!

I'm buying Forza now that they actually updated it and things are looking up. See you on track.
