June 1. 5 2. 01. 7The Xbox One X, Forza Motorsport 7 and the brand new Porsche 9. GT2 RS were unveiled within minutes of each other at the Xbox E3 Showcase in Los Angeles on Tuesday NZ Time. Gtr2 S Tracks' title='Gtr2 S Tracks' />When Microsoft unveiled its brand new superpowered Xbox consoleat this weeks E3 event in Los Angeles, they needed a seriously gorgeous game to show off exactly what it was capable of. The fact they opted to go with Forza Motorsport 7 as the first game running with native 4. K graphics on their new machine tells you all you need to know about how visually impressive it is. Unfortunately, Stuffs native video player only runs in standard HD, but if youve got an ultra HD monitor, check out the video below for an idea of just how pretty it looks. The level of detail is stunning but the frame rate is just as vital running at a rock solid 6. Silky animation is all important in driving games hooning about at high speed and executing precise overtaking moves is a heck of a lot easier when the action isnt stuttering and juddering like a learner driver at the traffic lights. So, while its a given that this is one of the most graphically advanced racing games ever made, like any high end vehicle, all the oohs and ahhs dont count for much if it doesnt handle well. Nogrip GTLGTR2MODwww. I was lucky enough to get a solid hours racing time at E3 this week as well as sitting down with Turn 1. Bill Giese to talk about the games development. On your marks, get set. The Porsche 9. 11 GTR2 hits the searing hot desert track of the Dubai Raceway. As soon as the green light flashes and your pedal hits the metal youre left in little doubt that youre in for a hell of a ride. Driving the Porsche 9. GT2 the same car unveiled on stage at the games E3 launch, and starting at the wrong end of the grid, some gut wrenching acceleration sends me rocketing into the rear end of at least three other other back markers. Easing off the throttle and following the ever helpful on screen racing line, I learn to respect the monsters power and move through the back markers on Forza 7s new Dubai raceway.

Scratches and scuffs are displayed in high definition as I trade paint with some stubborn mid pack opponents. Clouds from the games dynamic weather system cast shadows on the track and highlight the subtle lighting effects as clouds of sand are kicked up by cars cutting corners. As well as the latest supercars, Forza 7 features dozens of cars from the golden age of motorsport. Hitting the first serious straight and finally feeling confident enough to floor it, I get a real feel of the GTs horsepower as I hit 2. Im in podium position but battling to get past the second place Maserati who is employing some impressive defensive driving techniques for an AI opponent. As we hit the tunnel, the lights dim and the sounds echo, a gap opens up, I floor it and leave him for dust. The first place Ferrari is a long way ahead but I can feel myself closing in. With no more pesky opponents to worry about, I focus on my line and braking and soon narrow the gap. As we approach the end of the first lap Ive got him in my sights. I power past and suddenly Im the leader of the pack. With nothing in front of me Im free to soak in the sunshine and scenery of Dubai as confetti cannons explode and jets taxi across the runway of the airport in the distance. A renewed focus on the in cockpit view adds a new layer of realism to every inch of the drivers seat. Its a glorious day for a race win, but more importantly, this is a racing game that feels as good as it looks. If youve played any of the six previous Forza games, thats probably no surprise but this really is a genuine leap forward for the franchise. Driving development. Turn 1. 0s Bill Giese, creative director on Forza Motorsport 7 told me that designing their new game in 4. K forced them to go back to their roots and re evaluate what a Forza game is all about. Weve really tried to reimagine everything, he said. From the driving experience to the campaign, to how we cater for our community. With 4. 8 million monthly active users, we have one of the largest racing communities in the world, and with this game, were going to unite them on one serverOne of the main things we wanted to reimagine was the campaign and we know our players love progression and they want authenticity. So we built this massive drivers club championship where youll unlock exclusive gear and cars as you progress through the game. Whats great is that theres six major championships and over 7. Super GTs to rally heroes and pre war racecars. The goal was realy to make sure that theres a car division that you love and a race series that you want, Giese said. Secret War From The Files Of Nick Fury 1 here. Theres also a renewed emphasis on streamlining the experience and making sure downtime was used productively. The thing that players want to do most is race, Giese explained. So while youre waiting for the track to load you can tune your car and change your settings all while youre waiting to get ready to hit the track. Weve also designed this game as the first Forza that brings the driver out of the car. So while youre waiting to race you can customise your driver. Weve also brought the Forzavista feature to the track so you can open up the car and examine every inch of it, tracksideGiese also explained how Forza 7 was able to achieve such a fine level of detail when it came to digitally depicting real life tracks from around the world. As we were building our content, we adopted a concept called photogrammetry. So were using actual photos to recreate the geometry you see in the real world. What this allowed us to do was use laser scanned data from these locations to and actually capture those tiny imperfections in the track. So techniques like that give us something that not only looks great on Xbox One X in 4. K, but a game that looks better on multiple platforms. The newest Forza game allows for up to 2. Xbox and PC. Giese was also keen to double down on the games dynamic weather effects and how that makes every race different depending on the climate and conditions. Motorsport racing is all about precision and efficiency whats your line So as youre racing you get to learn circuits and try to be consistent. With dynamic skies and cloud shadows, its incredible how that changes the experience. Light hits the track differently from lap to lap, when its raining youll see puddles expanding in real time and have to adapt your driving style to deal with the conditions, Giese said. It wasnt just environments. Weve gone into great detail touching up the cockpits of all 7. Dynamic weather effects create puddles that expand in real time as water hits the track. A car like this The Porsche GT2 is built for weight reduction, so youll see exposed wires and netting rattling around as youre racing. As we were doing this, we really started to see the unique personalities of the cars shine through. Some have a real racetrack feel, others are heavy, some are built for comfort and you really get to appreciate that from the cockpit view. Forza Motorsport 7 is still a work in progress and theres a lot of development yet to be done before it releases on October 3, conveniently on the same day as the Xbox One X.
