We got lots of new details on ForzaMotorsport, including changes to its career mode and its new one-button accessibility feature
This story is part of the Digital Trends Summer Gaming Marathon series While Forza games are a dime a dozen, Forza Motorsport could be the most pivotal installment of the series to date. Set to launch on October 10, the racing simulator is aiming to change the trajectory of Xbox’s long-running series. It’s being positioned as a live-service platform that’s built to last for a good chunk of the Xbox Series X’s life cycle, if not the entire thing.
Recommended Videos New paint job The demo I saw largely revolved around Forza Motorsport’s career mode, Builder’s Cup. This time around, players don’t just roll through a series of races. Instead, goals are split up into three phases: Practice Sessions, Challenge the Grid, and Races. Those three phases make up what sounds like a natural gameplay loop.
When players are ready to race, they’re sent to phase two of career mode: Challenge the Grid. Here, they can set different options for the race, which affect their payout. For instance, players can change their starting position in a race, change AI difficulty, tweak the penalty system, and more. The more difficult players make the race conditions, the higher the payout becomes. It’s a smart risk-reward system that lets players bet on themselves.
A few more innovations will help Turn 10 achieve that goal. The first comes from a newly retooled car customization system, which the team describes as a “built, not bought” system. If a player decides to uninstall a part from their custom car, they’ll have all of the car points they spent on it completely refunded. The developers once again compare it to an RPG system, explaining it as players getting to “respec” their cars anytime.
