Glittering Car Banger.
When I’m sitting on the grid in my 2017 Holden V8 supercar, surrounded by Lamborghini, Ferrari and Audi R8, I have to admit that I feel a little underqualified. Forza Motorsport’s online multiplayer races should technically place all these cars on level ground, but I can’t help but feel like I’ve brought a cricket bat to a sword action here. A few mediocre laps after and neither I nor my vegemite-eating Commodore VF bothered the timereality checks much and ended up in the middle of the field a place below my starting point-but I’m sweating and smiling. The 2023 version of Forza Motorsport is packed with new features across the board, from the muscular new multiplayer to the significantly improved handling. Everything except his upgrades. They have been downgraded. Confused? Me too.
Forza Motorsport is by far the best sensation game in the motorsport franchise to date. It’s not necessarily a complete reinvention of the Forza formula, and there’s always that familiar level of forgiveness built in when you’re on and off the limits of control. It is a series that has always been about giving us the confidence to grab a car by the neck and pull the rear out of the accelerator with a full trunk without constantly turning too much, and this is absolutely always the matter here. However, improvements before breaking traction are marked.
If the previous game, Forza Motorsport 7, has noticeable flaws in handling, there is often a lack of bite in the feel of the grip. Six years after, it has completely disappeared here in this follow-up. The grip feeling in Forza Motorsport is much more pronounced and authentic, and the cars feel more realistically anchored on the road than ever before. Push beyond the capacity of your tires and the grip will now decrease instead of falling off a cliff, which means that cars will wobble more and skate less, which is a big improvement.
The pleasant side effect of these enormous improvements in tire modeling goes beyond more precise driving hinaus.es also makes it easier to drive fast. “Simple” is all too often used as damage in a gaming context, but with regard to those who can’t feel any feelings until they are skinned alive by a FromSoft game, I can assure you that this is not a disrespectible concept. Enema as fast as the pros, perfect on millimeters and maximum action? No, it’s not easy – if it were so, we would now have all the yachts in Monaco. But pushing around a track quickly and hard, confident that the car will behave under you as it should? It is good in the means of a competent driver. The old simulation racing mentality “if it’s not hard, it’s not realistic” is something that most good driving simulators have been moving away from for some time, and Forza Motorsport is no exception. It’s easier because it’s more authentic.
The handling of the gamepad is extremely sophisticated. While it’s no surprise considering that good gamepad handling has always been an integral part of this long-running series, I’m happy to let you know that it continues to be top-notch and has withstood body updates below the surface, so the gamepad’s handling is extremely refined. While it’s no surprise considering that good gamepad handling has always been an integral part of this long-running series, I’m happy to let you know that it continues to be top-notch and has survived body updates below the surface. As usual, the team found an enormous balance in turn 10 in the middle of softening things like a quick weight transfer and some steering inputs to keep handling tame on a tiny analog joystick, but still requiring undeniable abilitys to always drive fast.

Surprisingly, indeed. The last time my real car was so hard to drive was because my alternator broke and smaked my power steering. However, it is extremely adjustable -so I was finally able to choose this aggressive heaviness and enjoy what I otherwise consider to be the best Forza Motorsport cycling feeling I have ever felt. There may be a slight numbness at heavy edges, but the responsiveness and stability are excellent.
The feeling of weight of the car is also great – especially on undulating, technical sections of the track, such as the ridge above the Laguna Seca climb, before it pops through the corkscrew. There are also a few welcome little details for bike users.

Those who play in the cabin with a visible steering wheel can be pleased to see that the steering animation is no longer locked only by 90 degrees in both directions. The screen wheel now rotates up to 360 degrees, which is much more realistic. There are also vehicle-specific force feedback and steering lock settings in the settings menus, which allow cars to feel good without constantly readjustin
