Esaki began to "rattle off" a number of new features coming to the next installment in the racing franchise, including a "new tire model [and] new tire pressure model", explaining that Turn 10 has developed "a new way that heat interacts with the tire pressure, and we actually have dynamic track temperatures affecting this all."

"We have dynamic rubbering-in on track", continued Esaki, "a new atmosphere pressure system that accurately has pressure affecting things like air density affecting tire dynamics and power [and] an entirely new suspension system with new suspension modeling. I'm missing about 15 other things that's all under the hood, and that's just kind of the moment-to-moment, rubber meets the road experience."

Esaki finished with the promise that the studio will be revealing much more about the game "next year", suggesting it could well be in the works for Microsoft's next-gen console, the Xbox Series X, which is also set to launch in 2020.

Speaking on a recent Forza-themed Mixer stream (from around the 57:30 mark), Turn 10 Creative Director Chris Esaki revealed that the studio recently held its "first playtest for the new [Forza Motorsport] experience", teasing that the "overall product and where we're going with it is so vastly a different and amazing experience."

Are they building this one from scratch? Seems obvious that it would be playable if it were another iterative Forza game.

Well, I'm not surprised honestly. I still can't believe this game will be available with the console and on Game Pass at D1.

According to some rumors and some official stuff a few people posted in the Xbox OT they are.

Regardless I'm excited, haven't been into the regular FM for a while only the Horizon games because of my preference for Gran Turismo's feel but I didn't buy sport because I'm not into online racing so I'm ready to give it a go again with FM8.

Forza 7 ran at 4K 60fps on Xbox One X, I could see them targeting 4K 120fps for Series X.

lol. Forza 7, as good as it looked sacrificed some things to get to 4k/60fps on the X. Cut-out trees amongst the biggest cut backs. FM8 will be 4k/60fps, dynamic TOD and weather, 3d crowds, better physics, improved lighting and trees that don't look like they came out of children's pop up book.

They could easily offer a performance mode in either case. Microsoft needs some first party titles that showcases Series X's capabilities.

You don't think a game running at 4k native, 60fps, Dynamic TOD & Dynamic Weather, Improved Physics, Tire Models, Lighting and 3d Tree's/crowds is not going to be impressive and showcase the Series X capabilities? What I wrote is asking a lot and take some PC racing games and if you crank everything up to the highest settings, most high-end rigs have a hard time hitting Native 4k/60fps with all the bells and whistles turned up.

Since the begining there has been a Forza game every two years, and in 2012 they started filling the gaps inbetween with Horizon and all of them have been selling great, so it's no surprise there's one coming, so the title of that article is kinda "no shit Sherlock".
It's just that 2019 seems to have been an exception to the rule, most likely because of ther new consoles coming.
BUt that doesn't really undermine my point, ther's no surprise in a nother Forza game being in development and because of the gap it's definitly a next-gen title.

It's seemed pretty clear for a while now that Halo Infinite and FM8 will be the main launch titles.

XSX look so sexy together. reminds me of the excellent snowboarding game SSX on my PS2.

I have a feeling this game is going to look photorealistic.

I wonder if they are going to make it a hardcore racing sim? I always felt like Forza Motorsport was more realistic than Horizons, but not enough to really differentiate it for me.

Not a huge fan of Motorsport series, but I gotta say.... Turn 10 is fast when it comes to development.

Sure... there's Gran Turismo, Asseto Corsa, Project Cars. All of them has something unique or better when analyzing them individually, but none of them releases titles as fast as Turn 10. And most of them are truly sequels, not a refreshed content (well except Forza 5, that's the only one I think it's the weakest of the franchise, a long side with 3).

I hope they remove or allow to turn off that homologation stuff and let us build up a shitty car into a mutant beast to use all the way through if we want..

I wonder how aggressive they're going to be with their launch lineup? With Halo Infinite at launch, I can see them spreading things out a bit and releasing Motorsport in 2021. Maybe early summer? Then again, it's two completely different genres so they'll most likely have it ready for launch.

Whilst none of those details mean anything to me, I'm interested in how gorgeous it looks, but sim racers aren't games I can get into.

Forza Horizon on the other hand is a game I want as much as next gen Spiderman 2, Zelda or Halo. Please be set in Tokyo though, that needs to happen.

If this and Halo really deliver a top notch experience that's going to be a hell of a day one lineup.

Also, it would be really cool if Playground update Forza Horizon 4 for the Series X launch so it can run at 4K and 60fps.

Didn't Turn 10 pretty much confirm it themselves a few weeks ago..?

I remember one of the devs saying they got fancy tire physics up and running for it.

Long ago, I had sources suggest to me that a "Forza Motorsport X" was in production, designed as a living-service game a la League Of Legends in terms of f2p/paid acquisition of cars. I wonder if that model would work for Xbox Game Pass. Hmm.
