Forza 7 will be getting updated - The Motorsport team is now transitioning over to the next FM title. Community getting involved early in the process
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
There's no way the entirety of Turn 10 has only been working on FM7 updates for the last 18 months. That would have left an awful lot of the team twiddling their thumbs.

Well that was already "known" with the support Forza 7 was given and they said all the team was on it not so long ago. But i dont know a 2020 seems unlikely personally also for me now.
Any chance that we will ever see Project Gotham games re-released digitally with BC? I assume it won't happen due to licensing..
This is the perfect time to bring back PGR. I'd be so down for a PGR3+4 remaster collection!
Maybe they've been working on the next iteration of ForzaTech. While it will be used to power Forza Motorsport 8, they could technically get away with saying that it's separate from the development of FM8.
Yeah, there must be something to keep all those programmers busy all this time.
This. I believe that the majority of the team has been on the next game with a percentage of them using F7 as testing grounds for stuff that will be in the next game. I am glad they continue to support and update F7 as that was not the case for past titles. The only negative is that we never got more tracks for F7. Got a shit ton of new cars, but no new tracks. I am ok with them giving the Motorsport a year off, Forza 8 needs to be stellar and given the extra year it should be.
Forza 8 definitely needs the proper development time. I haven't genuinely cared about a Forza Motorsport title on the Xbox One. 5 and 6 were massive disappointments to me, and I never bothered to purchase 7 (I'm holding out for a Game Pass release).
I would genuinely prefer them to have an actual campaign. I miss having to start with very slow cars and work my way up to faster cars. Also, I could use with WAY more track variety. Maybe it's because I'm not a huge racing enthusiast, but having the same tracks every single game got very stale and often gave the impression that I was playing the same game over and over again. This only got worse with the release of Forza Horizon, which places a huge emphasis on the location and environment.

Like i said if they are starting now with concept etc and community involvement to shape it i doubt now its 2020 also. I mean we "knew" we were not getting a FM this year already.
But for me 2020 seems abit more unlikely also now.
It's Forza Street for 2019. Apparently the leak from a couple days ago didn't reach this forum ?
Before you get excited: it's a mobile game.
It's been known for a while FM would skip 2019, but I find it hard to believe T10 has just been working on FM updates for the past 14 months.
They probably phrased it as not working on FM8, as in, the next FM won't have an 8 in the title.

Not really. They said they are now shifting the focus of the team to the next Forza title.
I'm going to jump back into main Forza next gen. I enjoy the closed circuit challenge, learning tracks and progressing.
343i are building tech for the future of Halo, I assume the same thing is going on at Turn10. No Forza this year would be good for the franchise imo. Let it bake longer and I'm sure the next version will make a much bigger impact then the previous 3 iterations
that url leak of forza street was most likely just remnants of the Miami Street project before the name change. Rumors were, it was using the Forza name at first. I wouldn't expect to see much from that.
Forza 6 had that, but yeah, track variety really sucks in FM especially since there are so many American tracks and these suck in general.
They've definitely been doing a bunch of work on ForzaTech, some of which has already made its way into FM7 (force feedback, collisions, traction) and some of which they reiterated today are still coming later for FM7 (AI overhaul, race regulations). All these things will only help the next FM.
I agree with you.
Hope FM8 is 2021, Forza Horizon is a better launch title according to me because its a console seller unlike FM8, its open world, its more diverse ( weathers, landscapes, terrain) and as beautiful if not more than FM7.
I think FH5 in 2020 with Japan and improved seasons will sell a lot of consoles in Europe.
i'd just like to point out this is the first racing series i think to hit 8, which is the first number that looks like a race track, so i hope they incorporate that into the logo
FH and FM with 3YR dev time.
FH5 in 2021
FM8 in 2022
And that extra time they can make ForzaTech even better.
Also i miss the singleplayer with proper characters... Do it FH5 :)
Please be JAPAN!!!

Not sure why people think Horizon will be before a new FM. If Forzatech changes are coming that influences Horizon also.
FH4 is getting alot of support also like FM7 and i think a Horizon "break" doesnt hurt the series also. And Playground studio has now a second studio now wich maybe has some influence also with people moving arround.

Forza is on a ~2 year cycle. Forza 8 can easily make it for Scarlett's launch in Q4 2020. This moves Horizon 4 to 2021 or a ~3 year development.
Otherwise, we won't see Forza 8 until 2021, and that would mean Horizon 4 has to be 2022, and I don't know why Playground would spend 4 years on H4.

The next Forza is definitely coming with the launch of the nextbox. Even if they are starting right now, it is still within there usual timeline. And like others have said, they most certainly have not just been working on F7 alone. That makes no logical sense at all.

Well they say they want to next FM to be the next step for the franchise. So i doubt even less time then usual will bring that.
They said they are starting concept now instead of usual right away after launch. So its now already 1.5 years after FM7 and they want to make the next step for the game. I doubt a 2020 is then realistic.
My concern is 1 game Halo Infinite is not enough to carry the Next gen especially when they need a headstart especially in Europe and what better way than FH5, a big console seller to kickstart that journey.
No one complained that FH4 was not a good looking game, so I don't see why FH5 won't be a gorgeous looking game with the existing tech, the only area it is not up there is RTX and I bet they can do it with the current engine, not to forget they have been working on that RPG(Fable?) and would have been working/updating their engine which bodes well for FH5.
And yet they were able to do all of that within the usual timeline when transitioning from the 360 to the x1. I fully believe the next FM will launch alongside the nextbox.

I dont know. Think Ninja Theory their game can be a next gen launch game also. Next to Halo.
But FM5 was notorious for lacking content and being less then then Forza 4?
And FM4 didnt get the support FM7 is getting now with alot of the team on the game instead of instant switching after launch.
I don't know, seems like Ninja Theory's Bleeding Edge has been long time in the making and 2020 looks bone dry till the console launch, at the most its Q1 2020.
Phil loves Forza and its been there with Xbox One, 1X launches. So, I definitely think one of the Forza titles will be alongside Halo as a launch title, my wish is FH5 since they can just play around more with the Seasons & change location and it would look much fresher, they also have a dedicated team to FH too which should mean they are already working on the next FH title.

Yes. Dont think a extra year is gonna be enough. Of they are just starting now and are building the game with the community like they said. Combine that with they want to future proof Forza Motorsport i dont think we see it in 2020 also. MS also said big part of the new studios is that the main games have more breathing room also and they are less relying on them.
I'd like to see them do something different than just driving a slightly different set of cars around the same few tracks every time.
I think its enough time. This is an incredibly efficient team. And while its true that MS wants to give its studios breathing room, they will still have a timeline/deadline to meet. I fully expect FM8 and Halo Infinite to launch alongside the nextbox.
