I agree Forza looked fantastic. There was lot of great news from the MS event like Forza and Dragon Quest but I think Halo brought everything down. Everyone just wanted to talk about Halo not looking great and ignored everything else.

Project Mara looks cool, but I wonder if xbox will allow VR by then.
It looked better then the GT7 trailer if you asked me.
It wasnāt enough in my opinion. I know weāre in a pandemic and all, but I expected more from this game in particular. Like, I expected CGI trailers from Fable and Avowed, but Forza Motorsport is a great way to show off next-gen.
So while it looked very pretty, it also wasnāt enough.
Game is far off, visuals not quite representative of what weāll see (or at least, no proof itāll be), the gameās far off, and Hellblade 2 and such had much more bombastic trailers in terms of style. Forzaās qualities are known, but many were expecting an actual gameplay showcase to show that. It didnāt happen. Hype will arrive in due time.
We didnāt see XSX gameplay. Gamers donāt want to be disappointed.
I could have been excited if they could just tell which PC hardware it is running on.
Also it was shown in 30 fps video.
forza in engine looked better then gt 7 in engine trailer but gt7 at least showed gameplay. The gameplay made it look like gt sport at 4k 60 fps with a little ray tracing but at least they showed something
No love? Thereās no info and the footage that was shown was already discussed. Most discussions just turns into wishlists anyway. I rather wait until Chris Esaki shows up again on Forza Monthly to tease some more stuff.
As others have said, they didnāt show enough to get really hyped. Once they can show some actual gameplay on real hardware, Iām sure itāll get plenty of attention.

AAA racing games usually look good. Would be more impressed by Forza if they had showed actual gameplay instead of āin-engineā footage which can mean a variety of things.

For one, nothing was CGI. The ray tracing shown in the garage was the best Ray Tracing shown so far for either console. And we can compare the garage scene of GT7 and FM and see a big difference in the RT. There were lower resolution RT and even missing reflections in GT7 compared to FM. And PD are no hacks when it comes to graphics. So for me it was the most impressive thing we saw in that show case.
No gameplay was shown, and people probably expected a lot to be shown since there hasnāt been a new Forza since Horizon 4 and Forza used to get a game every year for a while now.
Most people donāt care for racing games either.
The garage scene really did look better in FM, on-track scenesā¦ Itās debatable. GT7 showed more variety, but more importantly, it also showed actual gameplay, so people assume that what theyāve seen is the actual game in its current state (which is likely to keep improving). Meanwhile, Forzaās in-engine cinematics without gameplay could be prettied up beyond whatās going to be possible on the actual hardware (in-engine doesnāt neccessarily also mean real-time, unless specified). People are cautious because Halo Infiniteās in-engine trailer looked far better than the latest gameplay presentation, and even if you go back to the FM5 in-engine reveal, we didnāt actualy see such detailed graphics in the game, except for maybe in the Forzavista mode (the game was still gorgeous, however, in some ways better looking than FM6 and maybe even FM7).
