“Forza Motorsport” goes back to the basics and refocuses on role-playing game elements while “The Crew Motorfest” is inspired by “Forza Horizon”
Ubisoft hit the reset on “The Crew” series and created “The Crew Motorfest,” above, which is inspired by “Forza Horizon,” while “Forza Motorsport” goes back to the basic in its revamp. This latest entry to the venerable racing sim is both a reboot and a new approach, one that takes advantage of ray-tracing and artificial intelligence but also acknowledges the way games are evolving into living and breathing entities that stand the test of time.
Even the weather adds another extra layer of unpredictability. Turn 10 already showed how rain can influence a track, creating wet spots, but now heat impacts tires’ grip and adds another variable that makes driving more realistic. All of this creates a situation where players bond with their vehicles over a race series and learn its ins and outs. In the process, they can figure out what upgrades are needed to complement a driving style or what they see as a vehicle’s shortcomings.
Visually, the game isn’t as impressive as anything that the “Forza” franchise has to offer, but “Motorfest” has its moments. Hawaii is a beautiful environment to wheel around in and players will pause the game to admire a sunset or the waves hitting the shore.The racing is more arcadelike though it does offer options to drive manual and it covers all sorts of disciplines and styles. Players can dabble in Japanese-inspired street racing or they can just cruise around the island in vintage cars.
