Forza Motorsport 8
While Forza Horizon arguably has the better gameplay over its more serious, simulation sibling Forza Motorsport, its the latter that is the true technical showcase title between the two.
Turn10 Studios are always the leaders in pushing Microsoft’s hardware to the max. They know how to squeeze every last drop of power out of the hardware to make car models more sublime and intricately detailed than the last, environments look near photo-realistic, and all of that to remain buttery smooth with a consistent, high frame-rate.
Forza Horizon may be the dominant series now when it comes to enjoyable gameplay, but the two series tend to alternate releases, and given Forza Horizon 4 was the last release, there’s no doubt in our minds that Forza Motorsport 8 will showcase the true capabilities of the hardware, and will feature for a good few minutes on Thursday.
