Experimentelles Testvideo für Pro_Too


Forza 7 in HDR on Gamersyde!

You might remember that a few days ago we told you guys that Microsoft had let us capture direct feed videos of Forza Motorsport 7 at E3, but that they had made a mistake by leaving the consoles in HDR mode, leading to almost unusable captures. Now that Miguel is back we finally got the original video captures and spend a lot of hours experimenting, and then even more hours encoding some pretty bad ass HDR videos for you guys. So if you have a 4K HDR TV, this will be a feast for your eyes for sure! For the others though, I'm sorry to say that these videos are simply not going to work as they should on any hardware. So if you have the right screen, you'll find more infos inside!

These videos should be considered highly experimental, and should not be considered like an exact representation of the colors and lighting of the final game. The first video (Dubai) especially might have some white levels quite a bit too bright, but it's difficult to say without having the game to compare with the videos. The second (rain) video is (from our opinion at least) quite an amazing sight to see though

These videos were tested with success on these devices:
- Xbox One S
- LG 2016 Oled TV
- LG 2015 Oled TV
- Samsung 2016 Led TV
- Nvidia Shield TV
The video was not recognized on our PS4 Pro, unless we missed something somewhere.

The easiest way to play these videos is to simply copy them to a USB thumbdrive, and play them using the media player of your TV/device.

If you have a 4K HDR TV (and only in that case!), please let us know if these videos worked, on an which devices.

Considering the time it takes to encode such videos (6 hours for 5 minutes of footage on our 12 cores encoding PC), we really need to get your feedback on this experiment so we can decide whether we keep doing more HDR videos in the future or not.

Gab's diese Gen schon mal ein 2 Disk Spiel?

Hab mir heute Horizon 2 und Forza 6 für 33€ aus den Store gezogen. Besonders auf Horizion 2 freu ich mich nach FH1+3 besonders 🙂

For the first time in the Forza Motorsport series, we’re bringing wide-body kits to a number of cars in Forza 7. A select number of kits are completely bespoke and designed in-house here at Turn 10; from underground-inspired designs to aero-enhanced modeled after professional motorsport. In addition, numerous body-kit options from Forza Horizon 3 will also be available in Forza Motorsport 7, including Upgrade Heroes like the Nissan S14 and the 240SX SE announced today.

Wheel options will be abundant in Forza Motorsport 7. In addition to bringing over a number of the new-entry wheels from Forza Horizon 3, we’re adding a selection of new race-inspired wheels. Whether you’re building your favorite car for yourself or you want to establish your reputation as a master in the Forza Motorsport 7 tuning scene by sharing your masterpiece on the Auction House, now you’ll have more options than ever to build the cars of your dreams.

und Teil 3 der FM7 Autoliste mit Schwerpunkt Japan - Forza Garage Week 3



Nachdem VW in FH3 fehlte ist nun Toyota ein Problemfall geworden: Es gibt keine Straßenfahrzeuge!!! Nur Rennwagen - sehr seltsam.

“Forza Motorsport 7 will feature more than 700 cars at launch, including 90 manufacturers and hundreds of additional licensed brands,” the statement reads. “While Toyota production vehicles will not be included in the game, there will be a number of Toyota race cars featured in Forza Motorsport 7. Look for that list later this summer.”

WTF???

It's strange because Microsoft is a major sponsor of Toyota's WRC car, and only a few months ago MS and Toyota entered into a new patent licensing agreement, so you have to wonder what's happened here.

Porsche 928 GTS and 914/6 Confirmed as FH3 Forzathon August Prizes

es gibt allerdings eine Einschränkung: Man muß dazu VIP Status haben, bzw. ein solches Auto:

Thanks to Microsoft pushing out the achievements for August’s Forzathon events early, we now know both road-going Porsches will be available as Forzathon prizes August 22–28. Both will require VIP status though, judging by the event descriptions:

• Automotive Royalty: VIP Exclusive – Win a Race in a VIP car to win the Porsche 914/6
  22-Aug-17 28-Aug-17
• Velvet Ropes: VIP Exclusive – Complete a Co-Op event in a VIP car to win the Porsche 928 GTS

Non-VIPs, don’t fret yet. It may be possible for you to win the cars if you use a shared car from a friend. It’s simply unclear at the moment.

Offiziell:

Because we focused on Japanese cars this week, many of you noticed that Toyota was not included in the list. As you know, Forza Motorsport 7 will feature more than 700 cars at launch and our team is constantly working to license the vehicles that fans want to play. Unfortunately it isn’t always possible to align the interests of fans and the interests of our manufacturing partners. As a result, production Toyota vehicles are not represented in Forza 7. We’re as disappointed as you are about this news and, while we hope to bring Toyota production vehicles back to Forza games in the future, it is worth noting that a small number of Toyota race cars will be included in the game. Look for that list in a future edition of the Forza Garage.

https://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/wir_8_4_17


Gerücht:

Ok the Problem is that Toyota doesn't want their cars being modified in games anymore. One of the content managers and nagotiators on PC2 seemed to have told it at an event on the Nürburgring. That means GT Sport and PC2 will get those cars because there aren't any modifications. NFS will have the same fate as Forza. I don't really understand this move, but we can hope it will change in the future (Audi did the same thing 2!years ago, that's why we haven't got any Audi LW/RB Kits ore optical enhancements, and NFS hasn't even gotten one)
