As simple as that may be, the curbing is night and day to where it’s been in the past.” They can be approached with confidence, and I think the playtest confirmed this.

Our curbs in the past have often been viewed as somewhat coarse or unsettling, and I think that’s been dramatically changed. When Esaki was asked how else the physics will improve the driving experience overall, Esaki said: “Another example of how the physics work that has resulted in subtle but noticeable changes in the road surface are curbs. Esaki said that this results in the car’s handling better, and you can “feel” the track surface a lot more.īut that’s not all. That’s a 48x fidelity jump for a single tire collision. In Forza Motorsport, there are now eight points of contact with the track surface, and the engine will refresh at 360 cycles per second (360Hz). According to Esaki, the tire collision model from the first game to Forza Motorsport 7 had a single point of contact with the track surface and refreshed at 60 cycles per second (60Hz). The tires in Forza Motorsport, and the way they interact with the road, has been dramatically increased too. It’s basically a huge generational leap coming to the game.” “To put the physics work into perspective… the changes we made from Forza Motorsport 7 till now, is more than the changes we made from 4 through 7. Esaki also shared details on how Forza Motorsport’s physics have evolved from Forza Motorsport 7, which was released on Xbox One in 2017.
