Forza Motorsport <\/em>is back with a vengeance after a six-year hiatus for the franchise, and the wait was definitely worth it, with the series reboot having the potential to completely revitalize the driving sim genre.<\/p>
In the six years since Forza Motorsport 7, <\/em>racing games have gone down the arcade route and away from simulation, opting for a more accessible approach to driving. On-track racing has been replaced by offroad and drifting, with realism often left behind.<\/p>
Forza <\/em>played a big part in this, launching the Forza Horizon <\/em>series with a formula that many others have followed. Forza Motorsport<\/em> sees the franchise return to its roots, however, <\/em>and could act as a defibrillator to the racing simulator genre.<\/p>
The reality is that fewer and fewer gamers want an authentic driving experience and, instead, want a more casual approach that hasn\u2019t always been offered in previous Forza <\/em>series entries\u2014but Forza Motorsport <\/em>has flipped the script entirely with a game that will appeal to casuals and veterans alike.<\/p>
