🚨Brand New Xbox Podcast is out!

It includes my 1 on 1 interview with Chris Esaki, Creative Director at @Turn10Studios discussing all things #ForzaMotorsport!

My absolute fav part is when we were discussing accessibility. It is crystal clear how important it was to the team!

[Chris Esaki @LoungeToy]

Hey it's me saying inspired things like "cars are cool" and "have fun." But seriously, the new layout of Yas is coming in November and that hairpin is lovely.

Here's how Forza Motorsport evolved into a “racing platform for the future.” https://t.co/xu3InGUcBU

[Chris Esaki @LoungeToy]

@Dino_Dadd that is correct. fuel weight is modeled

[Chris Esaki @LoungeToy]

It was awesome to get to chat with @digitalfoundry for this. Great chance to look behind the scenes and hear from the team about the new @ForzaMotorsport

[Digital Foundry @digitalfoundry]

Our preview/first impressions are coming soon but today, here's our first @ForzaMotorsport video - a deep dive into the game's technology revamp, as told by @Turn10Studios itself: https://t.co/JkWY8ZAwoM

@neonepiphany scrolling shock heh. this is a blast from the past - thanks for making my morning! i have soooo many prototype mics

[Chris Esaki @LoungeToy]

@jimnochance @JoelDeLongville @TPR_Picaso @ForzaLiveryGuy @JSR_Devon @ForzaMotorsport Drafting no longer dirties laps for either players. However, the global leaderboards will only reflect laps turned in Rivals/Time Attack.

[Chris Esaki @LoungeToy]

@RallyzX360 @JuularDT @JSR_Devon @LJITimate @ForzaLiveryGuy @ForzaMotorsport In rally/drift absolutely. A lot of assumptions with limited communication here sorry. My comments are regarding asphalt based circuit racing esp w modern race cars

[Chris Esaki @LoungeToy]

@JuularDT @JSR_Devon @LJITimate @ForzaLiveryGuy @ForzaMotorsport no worries - steering options have not changed. not sure what you meant by streamlining assists, but we probably went the other way - we have a ton of new assists that include a new blind driving suite of assists - i rec checking out that info

[Chris Esaki @LoungeToy]

@JuularDT @JSR_Devon @LJITimate @ForzaLiveryGuy @ForzaMotorsport I don't understand how these are exploits. I'm talking about things like power shifting and e brake use to rotate the car faster in corners

[Chris Esaki @LoungeToy]

@Mr_McFeastiado @_AVMR_ @JSR_Devon @ForzaErwin84 @ForzaLiveryGuy @ForzaMotorsport of course you can still shift manually with clutch; and yes attempting to power shift can damage the gearbox if you have damage on

[Chris Esaki @LoungeToy]

@JSR_Devon @JuularDT @LJITimate @ForzaLiveryGuy @ForzaMotorsport to me power shifting is an exploit like other unrealistic inputs from the past and they are gone.

[Chris Esaki @LoungeToy]

@ForzaLiveryGuy @JSR_Devon @ForzaMotorsport Yeah, it's changed. There are hundreds of smaller details like this that we aren't going to cover in the time up to launch - eg collidables like braking markers will reset in their original place if hit
