Forza Motorsporthas been making some serious strides forward as of late, believe it or not. Betweenimproved progression mechanics,AI, andgeneral content, Turn 10 has been putting in work to make things better, and fixing car models is now on the docket, too, believe it or not.
For those who are not in the know, and not the biggest deal in the grand scheme of things, some of theForzagames’ legacy vehicle models arerather inaccuratewhen compared to their real-world counterparts.Gran Turismo 7, too, is way better in this regard than either of the contemporaryForzatitles, and fans have been asking for Turn 10 and Playground Games to fix things up for quite a while now.
Now, out of the blue, Turn 10 confirmed itisworking on updating its vehicle model library, with almost a dozen classics already on the docket for a fix. The downside? These updates aren’t coming anytime soon, and they won’t be implemented into the currentForza Motorsport, either.
Turn 10 confirms that legacy Forza car models will be fixed… in future games
Turn 10’s plans forForza Motorsporthave been tomake it a long-lasting live-service game, and though the game is now substantially better than it was on day one, it seems it still won’t be gettingallof the team’s planned tech and content upgrades after all. So far, Turn 10 has confirmed that the futureForzagames will receive updated and accurized representations of the following vehicles:
Kudos to Redditor red_fuel fortheir list! It is, of course, disappointing to hear that the current live-serviceForza Motorsportisn’t likely to receive up-to-date models of these cars, but Turn 10’s reasoning is understandable in its own right.
Notably, the team’s comment explains how finding a museum-quality car they need to scan is non-trivial by default, and that’s without taking into account all the licensing and technical issues that come part and parcel with the job. Heck, even the inevitableForza Horizon 6might not be privy to some of these updates, depending on how hard it is to source some of the faulty vehicle models.
That’s not to say thatForza Motorsporthasn’t already made improvements in this area, either. Some car models, such as the legendary Impreza 22B, have been updated to better reflect their real-world inspirations, and this is bound to have thrilled fellow car aficionados when they discovered it:
I have bemoanedForza‘s car paint shaderbefore, so it stands to reason that I’m fairly nitpicky when it comes to real-world car representation as well. Certainly, the news that Turn 10’s hard work updating all the problematic models isn’t likely to be reflected inForza Motorsportis disappointing, but I myself am happy to hear that the franchise’s roster of car modelswillinevitably be improved and iterated upon. For the time being, that’s good enough!
