I just can't get excited for Forza. I'm sure I'll play it but it the more recent games are more of a grind than fun. I wish they'd make it more realistic with qualifying and not forcing you to win every race against rigged AI. It's nigh impossible to win with a wheel and if I'm on a controller I'd just rather play something else.
I tried the beta of The Crew Motorfest and it seems fun, albeit they may have gone too Forza Horizon. Will see I still need to play it more. If the map is good it will be decent. I won't buy it at launch though but I buy almost nothing at launch, so... Also interested in the new Test Drive game.
Otherwise there's not much. I'm sort of interested in a survival game coming called The Lost Wild, but I'm also skeptical it will be polished or fun. There was a time I would have been interested in Diablo IV, but that doesn't even spark any interest I expect it to be so awful and I hate that company. I'm always so behind anyway that anything good that comes out this year is more likely to be on my 2026 playlist anyway.
As a wheel player, I feel that the wheel support in Motorsport 6 is adequate. I have a good range of motion and the game feels responsive.
As for Forza 2023, I too hope that we can qualify for single player events. It's so frustrating being caught in a first corner pileup and falling far behind the leader just because the game forces you to start in 12th for no reason. Especially since I've been able to go faster than the AI with cars that aren't upgraded.
Hopefully homologation gets ditched too. I thought it was a ridiculous way of putting cars that have no business racing each other (GT4 and Super GT GT500 cars) in one class and putting on all sorts of ridiculous upgrades on them that ruin how they drive.
Furthermore, it completely defeats the purpose of depicting racing in a grounded way and defeats the purpose of seeing how these cars race each other despite their different design and performance characteristics.
I'd also like to see true multi class racing with full, real time 24 hour long races. Therefore, a mid race save feature like the one in 2000's Test Drive Le Mans for the Dreamcast would be a must.
I think this new Forza would also be a good opportunity to finally offer some kind of off road or rallycross racing.
As long as they keep the BS pronouns out of it, I'll definitely be keeping my eye on Forza 2023.
