FM7 Forza Motorsport 7 Demo to Land September 19th

[Paul Jeffrey]

Turn 10 Studios have confirmed the demo for Forza Motorsport 7 will release this September 19th.

In something of a rare move in modern gaming, Turn 10 Studios will be releasing a demo for Forza 7 ahead of game launch, with Xbox One and PC players due to have access to free limited content demo build as early as this September 19th.

Available for both platforms supporting the latest Forza title, the demo version of Forza Motorsport 7 will contain three circuits, three vehicles and a sample of the dynamic weather conditions set to make a prominent appearance in the latest release to this popular franchise.

On the vehicle front the demo will contain the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, Mercedes-Benz Tankpool truck and Nissan Nismo GT-R LM. The three very different vehicles will each be playable on specific circuits, with the Porsche drivable on the new for Forza 7 Jebel Hafeet Pass in Dubai. Italian permanent race circuit Mugello will play host to the massive Mercedes truck, and the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit will feature the Nissan GT-R LM, also benefiting from weather treatment and having "dynamic" atmospheric effects enabled, allowing the player to race "through rainstorms laced with thunder and lightning make for a visual showcase and for a challenge like no other – where dynamic puddles grow and shrink with the intensity of the rain".

It has also been confirmed that the demo will feature a range of adjustable game assists, as well as a very useful benchmarking tool to allow PC players the opportunity to test the performance of their various machines before committing to purchasing the full game on release day on October 3rd.

It's not iRacing by far, but much was promised, especially to PC users and they failed to deliver on ANY of it.

Sure, Forza was never intented to be a super realistic simulator a la iracing(which is even a bit overated imho, btw) but rather a racing game(more biased towards arcade) for the masses who are casual racing games fans and not hardcore fans of racing. Forza competes with the likes of Gran Turismo, it's Microsoft "weapon" against Playstation's extremelly successful GT series.

With all that said, How do you rate the physics of the Codemasters F1201X games? Because other people had access to more cars of the FM7 game and the physics seems quite similar to that of the F1 2017

It doesn't seem that arcade anymore and the graphics is easily the best of all games, which is what the general casual gamers will be lured to

I've never played F1 2017. I enjoyed the first 2 games, but got tired of buying yearly increments to the same game. I also enjoy GT racing far more than open wheel.
