Super stoked for this, the first remake was awesome fun (again).

Obviously not in trouble, the delay is minimal.

Yeah I hope they update both of them post-launch with RT. Still going to play both for sure.

I expect the first next-gen Forza Motorsport entry to have proper RT since it's next-gen only and further into the gen. We are still in the early days of PS5/XSX, and these are cross-gen games.

@chinchilla It's nothing to do with SoT being a Microsoft game. You're comparing an online game vs an offline game. The same thing applies to Sony - take Destruction Allstars for example, do I expect it to work offline? No. It's an online multiplayer game and that is totally fine.

"Does anyone who reads this actually think that if Forza or some other Microsoft game announces it's always online that Orchard won't do an about face on this issue instan...

@Ron_Danger Totally different situation. PC is the wild west, you can run unsigned software. GT7 is only on PlayStation consoles (as far as we know), you can't just write a cheat program or easily reverse engineer for PS because you'd need to be a registered PS developer, and even then games are sandboxed / running in a VM and cannot access storage or memory etc. outside of the game VM.

You could say 'well people could copy their save game to USB and connect tha...

I get why someone would want to use it.

What I’m saying is baffling is the fact they obviously have it working in the game world if it’s in replays - so why is it not there during active gameplay? Performance?

Really both this and Forza should have ray tracing. Racing games can typically push the visual boundaries a bit more because of the limited scope. It’s a pretty big failing for both Forza and GT to only support RT in limited modes.

@darkrider If you have problems with articles I approve you should contact the website and ask them to change the rules or flag the article - I only approve articles which falls within the rules. Similarly, you are also able to become a contributor and approve articles.

@jukins Deathloop is playable offline - I did this not even a day ago. It just means you play against AI assassins.

@darkrider Stealth trolling PS5 articles? Sounds like you got the wrong guy - PS5 is my primary gaming console 😂

@mikey You can still play Forza offline. Online functionality is optional - as it should be.

All you’ve done is regurgitate the same reasoning - we need internet to avoid cheaters - this is not convincing nor acceptable.

You know you’ve lost an argument and have zero points if you have to call the other side names ...

@anast Then you got lucky or got a later model (they fixed it in a HW revision).

The laser issues were very well known and well spread.

Hmm?

@Magog Not a TV problem.

I’ve tried:
- Different HDMI cables
- Different HDMI ports
- Two different TV’s (Samsung and LG)
- Switch and Xbox work fine using the same TV, port and cable

Both TV’s support 120hz and 4K and are recent models - they are definitely capable of supporting the latest transfer rates.

Also the fact it was a lot worse in game would point towards not being a TV issue.

I did read them both - doesn’t justify it IMO. That all sounds pretty optional and unnecessary to me.

Cheating via save games? So why isn’t every PS5 game always online? Why isn’t Forza always online?

As for liveries - why do I need to connect to the internet? Why can’t I use my offline saved ones or preset ones?

It screams laziness on the developers part - these are solvable problems which other games have been solving for years.

I remain hopefully that they will change up the formula a bit one day :p

It’s like a sports franchise at this point, just copy paste last years game and re-skin it.

I agree regarding the modern setting - rumors are next year will be a MW setting so that will be good.

Lol this is quite clearly not Kraken, 40gb to 3gb just means they updated a lot more files on the other platforms (or the patcher thinks they did) - likely art assets.

If Kraken could do 40gb down to 3gb we would be seeing those sizes for full games - which we aren’t.

That would also be some of the best compression on the planet and NASA would be asking to license it 😂

VGChartz is always a rumor - it’s not based on an official/100% accurate data set released by Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo.

1654d ago 12 agree8 disagreeView comment

Shrug. It’s a beta - it’ll clearly be ironed out by launch.

I’ve been having fun with the game on PS5 but it is definitely just “more COD”.

Weird - pre-pandemic I used to take my PS4 or X1X with me on business trips and never once had issues launching game pass, XBL gold or PS+ games (don’t have PSNow so can’t confirm there).

Anyway, unless I’m playing an online game/game mode or one which needs a web service - I shouldn’t need internet.

Why are save files not encrypted like they are for every other game / console?

Players are inconvenienced because a developer is lazy.

Which part of what I wrote is incorrect?

Obviously they didn’t release a worse or downgraded model.

@ColePSSX Once you’ve downloaded your game pass game, you can play any offline experience while offline :)

Why should I need internet to play a racing game against AI?

Just because I have access to internet doesn’t mean I have access 24-7-365.
