Forza Motorsport finally got its time to shine at the recent Xbox Games Showcase 2022, in fact, we thought it was probably the most impressive next-gen game of the show! We've not heard much about it since mind, but developer Turn 10 has just dropped a nugget of info about one of the title's new systems.
The Forza Motorsport reboot will introduce a new "corner mastery system" that hopes to enable faster lap times across the board. The feature is all about practising the trickiest sections of the track, while providing an incentive in the form of friendly competition, in real time.
This seems like a concerted effort to make things feel more instantaneous as opposed to a traditional lap time leaderboard system. We're not sure yet if such goals will carry over to other sections of the game, but that'd make a whole lot of sense.
If you didn't catch much of the Forza reboot showing last month (we don't blame you, there was a lot going on!), then here's the grand gameplay reveal for you to feast your eyes on.
Will you be happy if Forza Motorsport becomes "more social and connected"? Let us know in the comments!

Playground games FH5 and Turn 10 FM
These studios show the rest of Xbox studios how to do it and doing it at full on top end AAA.
My Xbox studio hero’s.
I just picked up a copy of Forza Motorsport 7 and as someone playing Motorsport in general for the first time, I think they have some a good basis to improve upon to challenge Gran Turismo. Few things they need to improve upon, mainly the driving physics and car dynamics.
Whilst I have no doubt the game will look great, this demo is running on a pc, not an xbox.
The feature sounds pretty useful. Id rather see some real gameplay though 😀
See I always thought the point of drivatars was to try and accurately measure your driving style and reflect it via AI…so if you as a player are an aggressive driver then in my game your drivatar will be aggressive.
If they can make a record of your play style like this then why not just have lobby’s where those that drive aggressively are against others that drive aggressively? Wouldn’t this help with the ‘dreaded first corner’ that usually ends up being a ‘kill them all’ in online races?… or did they already try this?
Seems like a nice way to improve racecraft in general for folks who take the time to practice. Maybe we won't see so many races with 3/4 of the field wiping out on the first corner.
My biggest worry for this reboot is regards to a penalty system for online or racing in general. I really really hope it's a robust system designed to disincentive bad racing and punish folks who continually ruin races.
This has always been my biggest issue with this franchise and I hope they address it with this reboot so that it's not so much of a racing genre meme this go around
@BRT15 I am playing GT Sport. I like Forza far better. That’s not to say I don’t love GT.
And then a year later they will close the servers. Dont support playground games.
Hopefully it's not always online
@BRT15 they are already ahead of GT7 with FM7 including physics.
I did enjoy GT7 this year and looking forward to playing this on my PC when it comes out, fingers crossed on a 40 series card
Turn10 are top notch. Looking forward to playing this ... on Game Pass of course!
