Well you asked for it, so here goes. Some of this might be based on what I feel myself though: 1. Graphics. Not a giant upgrade from FM6 because it already showed the edge of the Xbox One console, so I expect a great boost in this when it rolls out on the One X. However, especially in the skies the graphics seem to profit from some upgrades. Especially in cloudy situations. 2. Car list. I was sceptic about this one but especially after seeing that FM6 had around 450 cars, a 700+ car list ex DLC is still a really decent upgrade. Quantity over quality maybe slightly, but variety is key. Plus, the DLC's are bound to be exciting. 3. Car dynamics. Although the exhaust movement is a tad overdone, the fact that spoilers, exhausts, other light exterior things and especially aerials, move according to the movement of the car. 4. Tracks: no tracks removed, old tracks upgraded, new tracks added, old tracks brought back. Win/win/win/win on the case of tracks. 5. Track based Forzavista: a nice addon, not bothersome when you don't need it, very cool if you like it. 6. Driver Gear: everybody loves collections. And a bit extra personalization is never unnecessary. 7. Reward systems: not too fond of the lootcrates but having them currently available for in-game credits makes them not harming at all. The wheelspin alternative is nice, it gives nice discounts on cars, or driver gear when you need it. Car collection upgrades are also nice, it means you have to actually buy or get cars to progress in getting cooler cars. The list is probably a bit longer but this is all I can think of right now, take it or leave it. Main point regarding the nitpicks upon graphics: let's wait with being picky over graphics until it rolls out on Xbox One X. Currently, graphics wise I can't deny it's similar to FM6, but it's because in terms of graphics, FM6 has always been really good.

I could, but you will disagree with me anyway so I don't see a reason why I should. The reviewers seem to be way more convincing to you.

Why not find a review on the internet and answer it yourself?

Forza is atm the best combination of graphical quality, car variety and realistic racing. Things like realistic pistops don't matter to me becaude you're spending 95% on a track and that 5% (15 seconds) is what you want to be spending effort on? And that changing compound is irrelevant too: tires almost don't change the handling. How do I know? I play the game. I don't know if you're deliberatly finding negative articles but every review I've read so far was mostly positive. So even if reviews are your point of reference, it's no reason to be so negative about everything.

It makes sense in this case... it's easy searching the internet for bugs and errors but I've actually been playing the game and the only "errors" I've seen were deliberatly found. Sure it's not good that a game has errors but exploiting them from the sideline is odd, if you had actually played the game you would know those little errors can't bother anyone when you're doing what FM7 is about: racing.

Btw i found out the Ferrari F40 looks really bad in FM7 :D [ATTACH]30262[/ATTACH]

So this morning they announced that VIP users get more out of their game. Extra Forza Edition cars, extra credit boosters and: a 1mil credit bonus. Which gave me enough money to buy the car I've been wanting for a while now: [ATTACH]30236[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]30237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]30238[/ATTACH] The fearsome, brutal, almighty, more things etc, McLaren P1 GTR. Hell yeah. [ATTACH]30239[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]30240[/ATTACH] Enough drooling over stationairy garage shots. Let's get it in action. [ATTACH]30241[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]30242[/ATTACH] ...let's just say I forgot to make photo's because it drives like a beast and I had fun.

Think I'm missing something here; I interpreted your first comment being the problem that you could see hands/steeringwheel in the windshield without a dashboard, but did you mean that or just that the reflections are bad at all? In case of the latter, I can't really comment, because I didn't pay too much attention to that.

@Milli I drove the M5 E60 yesterday and I saw what you meant. However, it seems to be just the M5, because the Audi RS7 for instance, has a perfect dashboard reflection. I don't know what happened there. For the rest if we're talking about the entire game, not just graphics, I think the game is alright, currently it's more Forza 6.75 than 7 though. The car list feels a bit full of cheap claims (700 cars of which only 100 are worth noticing) and the game is just so similar to FM6 in everything that it doesn't feel that much like a new game. I think FM6 was already exploring the limits of the XB1, so FM7 will be a great game on the XB1X I think. For now, I'm not getting what I was expecting at first, and the terrible mistake which was buying the ultimate edition is one I regret to be honest. The added content from that has been less than impressive for now.

[ATTACH]30214[/ATTACH] Today we got some hyper sedan action [ATTACH]30215[/ATTACH] I love the RS7 still. [ATTACH]30216[/ATTACH] Suzuka in the rain looks good. [ATTACH]30217[/ATTACH] BMW M5 E60 which was absent from FH3 and previous Motorsport games, I really like its return. [ATTACH]30218[/ATTACH] Idk about the Dubai circuit, it's visually stunning of course but I miss something in it. [ATTACH]30219[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]30220[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]30221[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]30222[/ATTACH]

Without doubt Forza 7 has some small derps here and there. But I think giving a paddleshift animation and a rarely visible reflection issue as a reason to think Forza 4 is better, I disagree. Without doubt Forza 4 was more than benchmark on its release. But that has no correlation between the graphic highlight of Forza 7. Sure, it has its moments. But I personally haven't mention these things you've mentioned because there's plenty more eyecandy to distract you. Also I was sceptic on the whole 700 carlist hype with nothing new on it, but it actually feels a lot more diverse and I came over that. I really like Forza 7 and with some new cars in coming DLC's I will play it a lot.

Something I never found out is how you can change focus on different spots in the picture, luckily @mau92 knows how and now I made a few using this "new" technique. [ATTACH]30197[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]30198[/ATTACH] Camaro safety car... on the subject of safety cars, I found out you can add safety car sirens on a few cars (Aventador, SLS, ZL1, RS6 and Golf R) so here are some wet Golf shots.
