My first impression:
how in the fuck does this game still suck this bad
I WAS JUST PLAYING GRID, A GAME FROM 2008, WHICH CRASHED EVERY FOURTH OR FIFTH EVENT I RACED, AND IT STILL PLAYED BETTER THAN THIS JUNK
HOW
HOW HAVE WE FALLEN SO FAR FROM GREATNESS
According to ex-T10 employee testimony, Microsoft refused to hire full-time employees during the entire development cycle of Forza Motorsport. This means people like FrieNDA who worked on what were essential assets for the game weren't given enough time to learn the engine, develop assets then optimize them before being kicked out the fuckin door.
This kind of development cycle PERFECTLY EXPLAINS how a brand new Forza Motorsport can feel WORSE THAN EVERY GAME THAT CAME BEFORE IT. People are hired on, they work crazy hard, they get canned and then new employees NOT ONLY HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE OTHER EMPLOYEE WAS, but ALSO LEARN THE ENGINE THEMSELVES AND CONTINUE FORWARD.
it's an immensely stupid way of running a fucking workplace. BUT HEY MICROSOFT, ANYTHING TO AVOID UNION ORGANIZATION IN YOUR QA DEPARTMENTS AND SHIT, RIGHT?!
fucking imagine shooting your nose to spite your fucking face.
- worse framerate than before (previously a slightly unstable 59 frame average, now 45 frame average and full of instability when delivering frames
- worse netcode (i had cars teleporting across half the track)
- kerbs still feel like shit
- tires still feel inconsistent corner-to-corner
- the game crashed THREE TIMES and hard-locked ONCE before i even got on track
WHY
