Forza Motorsport: More Than a Scam

Regarding my videos, they will simply be unlisted and still viewable in a public playlist. The future content will be centered around mostly indie and older racing games. Regarding the drama part of the video: Some people in the comp scene have already commented, but KZbin buries negative comments and so they're not visible. I don't want to abuse my platform and they should at least be able to share their side of the story, so if anyone is interested, I could make a followup covering all their responses on my second channel. Regardless, no side will ever come to an agreement, and it's not possible to provide concrete proof for many of the arguments. UPDATE: followup video kzbin.info/www/bejne/noWXd4ptf9qmedE

[@FiatUno2003]

This game being 6 years in "development" is crazy to me. They literally recycled everything from the older Forza titles, added 3 new things and called it a new game. And the worst part is that FM is a current-gen exclusive but it doesn't take advantage of the extra processing power. FH5 on the Xbox Series X looks absolutely gorgeous, but FM manages to look worse than FM5, somehow. Like, how do you manage to make a current-gen game look so bad? They could've released the new FM on past gen too and it would've looked "fine". If the Xbox Series X looked like the trailers and pre-release footage, you could at least excuse it being a current-gen exclusve, but no, it looks like shit. And I don't really mind games being a platform for car advertisement, if it is done right. I would love to see something similar to Need for Speed Porsche, where you actually learn and go trough the history of the brand instead of the game just being blatant advertisement. But that's asking too much from lazy Forza devs who can't be bothered doing something actually cool.

This puts into perspective how different GT's approach to its game was. GT Sport was, in fact, built from the ground up for next generation of consoles with very little of legacy stuff carried over (mostly the VGT car models). This explains why GTS had very little cars and tracks compared to previous entries (which reused a lot of cars from past generations) but it built a steady collection of cars and tracks that were built considering the 2, 3 games into the future and, lo and behold, they not only were reused in GT7 (as they were intended to) but improved upon as the physics and graphics engine were revamped for GT7 and new cars were added. Despite our feelings towards the direction of the single player portion of GT7, it's an amazing title and one that actually changed a lot of things from it's sibling game. You can see this if you play both titles back-to-back like I did.

FM is worse than GT for gaming. The basic penalty mechanic is enough to set these 2 titles miles apart. In GT you have penalty serving each lap, thus forcing bad players to the back and not ruin further the good player's race. In FM it just adds a credit penalty which will be then added at the end, so you can have a bad player forcing good players off track in the top spots, sending those bad players way back to the back of the pack over and over, ruining their gaming, and that aggressive player to receive a moderate pentaly that may set them back maybe one place or two.

the only problem with the GT's penalty system is that a 0.5 sceonds penalty could be a 1.5 seconds penalty since it makes you brake at the start of a straight line and in GT sport there were dirty players that when they served their penalty would try to get themself hit so like that they would gain an advantage (I played GT sport since release and peaked at A(close to A+ or S)for driver rating and S in safety rating) GT's penalty system is still garbage considering the 2020 or 2019 era when they had a nice penalty system and ruined it for the rest of the game (at the end there were no penalty at all for contact hopefully the community was great)

Actually It's the ultimate racing game , it has unique features from it's competitors like NFS or GT , Here is why : -> It has game breaking bugs you can't experience in other games -> A support system and customer care that shouts " I D C " -> Cars that don't drive as intended to or sometimes problems with controls to give that exclusive Forza Vibe -> The only game to have " bugs fixed " mentioning of problems that don't even exists such as mentioning of cars or parts that aren't in the game ! Indeed unique experience ! -> It's a game that you could get for free and still ask for refund ! MVP feature. -> It also has extra features like glitches and graphics of cars not well done. You don't get that kind of luxury to enjoy in other racing games. An Triple A game that has cars with misplaced stuff or parts that glitch out on menus , Indeed an legendary experience . -> The game is built from ground up ! to the point they didn't build it from the roots but just from the grounds it already has existed like Fm5. Six years of idle development like none other ! Truly Professional Standards !

If they like to stare at someone's gameplay to prove if they're cheating or not, why don't they just invest that time into playing a proper simulator like iRacing or rFactor?

I avoided super competitive Forza racing becasue I want to avoid controversy, and even that isn't enough. I feel bad that you are being targeted in Forza since back in the FH4 days. From just playful ramming to actual drama to target harassment is insane, while actually provding useful in game information as well as good criticism to the game. Yet, other people are jealous/can't accept negavtive feedback and decided to silence you. In the end, I want to say thank you for improving my playing experience in FH5.

Even GT7's lackluster career mode still tries to get you to drive a variety of different cars, not just tuned street cars. So there's really no point in picking it over horizon which is supposed to be the road racing game if that's what you wanna race. And people who want motorsports...

It's kind of sad, as it's the franchise that literally formed my childhood and young adulthood. But maturing is realizing that there is more or there. Edit: Okay I should have watched the video first to the end. Great choice, but kind of sad to see you removing the truth from KZbin. I have learned much from your videos and would love to see them somehow preserved.

If ur really deleteing the videos, keep those where you expose the devs and the tournament teams Great video as always! 💪

Sepi, I've been watching you for maybe 2-3 years now, back when your channel was just called "SepiSP4" and there was no voice-overs in your videos, only text. I just wanted to tell you that I have huge respect towards you and am really impressed by your brutal honesty towards the very game which you played for thousands of hours and gained notoriety with. I am really happy for how your channel has developed and love the stuff you are doing. Keep up the good work, it's always great to see someone wipe the floor with another scummy game developer! ❤

The story behind this game is somehow worse than the story behind driving in tehran

[@rosaria8384]

Sepi even called this the game that followed Dr Sami's footsteps in the ending of that video. It makes more sense now

If "from the ground up" means it's made from nothing, then yes, from nothing. *Nothing fucking good*

As a former forza and current Gran Turismo fan, I’m disappointed in FM. I wanted forza to succeed to entice competition so both Sony and Microsoft can learn to improve and engage creative avenue with updates and future game releases But due to Turn 10 and Playground Games + Microsoft/ Xbox current gaming mindset and incompetence, it’s sad to see a studio fallen.

There is even drag tyres and drift suspension in the game. But no drifting or drag racing.

not all games need to be live service its shit

[@Ryzard]

Real.

[@wambogojonah316]

That's why we'll always miss the past era, where you could buy a CD and that was the entire game!

[@Joe_Mama911]

oh boy, i really only have one question sepi, what can we expect from you going forward. sim racing? other video game genres? or maybe video essays?

[@seP4]
