A couple of new screenshots for Forza Motorsport have been leaked online, featuring a stage under rain conditions. This is the first time we see rain effects in this new Forza Motorsport game, so some of you may be interested in them.
From the looks of it, these leaked screenshots are from a new Dev Flight Beta phase. However, as you can see, they are of low quality. Not only that, but the game’s motion blur effects hide/mask pretty much everything. So yeah, don’t expect much from these new screenshots.
Since Forza Motorsport won’t be an open-world racing game like Forza Horizon, it will be interesting to see whether it can top Driveclub’s rain effects. Driveclub came out in 2014 and still has the most impressive rain effects in a racing game. It’s ironic but if Sony had ported this game on PC, it would have most likely made a profit. Because although Driveclub was ahead of its time (in terms of graphics and tech), it was a commercial failure.
Forza Motorsport will feature over 500 real-world cars at launch. Moreover, the game will pack more than 800 unique upgrades and custom modifications. Not only that, but the game will start with 20 environments featuring multiple track layouts for players to master.
Turn10 Studios was able to depict 10 times more realistic detail including highly detailed vegetation and overgrowth. Additionally, this new Forza Motorsport will include tens of thousands of fully animated 3D spectators.
Forza Motorsport will release on October 10th. The game may also support ray-traced global illumination on PC, as well as ray-traced reflections.
Stay tuned for more!

Probably still can’t reproduce the effects seen in the old Driveclub PS4 game.
It’s as if they have a patent on those convincing rain effects…
I mean, come on, it’s just a simple case of fluid dynamics simulation, which even the open-source Blender software can do for a decade.
Just port a simplified & GPU-accelerated version of that to your game, and even the Xbox Series S should be able to run that with ease, given the superior hardware compared to 2013’s PS4.
Game developers these days…
*SMH*
It was likely just a very well done shader/particle effect, they certainly would not be doing complex fluid simulations.
Just look at the new water effects added to CSGO on Source 2, they’re all done with shader trickery.
They used both a water droplet particle effect coupled with ‘simplified’ simulation of each droplet to react to external forces like wind, speed, the shape of the car as well as the blades’ movement. The same applies to snow too. They captured the weather and the scenery quite well.
Pouring rain and the road reflections are a mirror image on the track? Developers need to get outside more often.

It is pretty clear by now that this is going to be a mediocre installment in the franchise. FH5 being of noticeably lower quality and developer passion than FH4 was an early clue.
Idiotic statement that is 100% going to be proven baseless.
OK shilltard.

Indeed. 3-4 were the best. 5 onwards are generic and bland.
Forza Horizon killed the Motorsport franchise. Kids just want loot boxes and open world.
-Irrelevant and unwanted🤡
Horizon saved rather generic franchise.
Another stupid title. Why not call this Forza Motorsport Next or something.
This game will have no identity since it is stealing it from another game.

Totaly agree about DriveClub – by far the best looking rain effects in racing games ever. Also one of the most fun racing games ever made!
That game alone, was worth having the PS4, it actually is that frikking good!
Nothing new that others haven’t done already.
Wow…. It looks like all the other Forzas.
