Watch the first 25 minutes of Forza Motorsport 7 running in beautiful 4K resolution at silky-smooth 60 frames per second.

During a Microsoft showcase event in New York City, DualShockers had the chance to try Forza Motorsport 7 running on Xbox One X.

Even better, we got to record the first twenty-five minutes of gameplay for your perusal.

First of all, we get to see a new Porsche 911 GT2 RS in action on Dubai’s circuit. Then we move on to a mighty truck at Mugello (driven by Maria Rossi. Apparently the infamous M. Rossi has been a “she” all along.), and to a Super GT Nissan GTR on the Suzuka circuit. During the third ride there is plenty of rain coming down, giving us a chance to experience the game’s weather system.

After that, we take a look at the garage, the driver gear menu that lets us customize our outfits, following by another race at the traditional Maple Valley circuit at the wheel of a more modest Honda Civic.

You can check it all out below, and if you want to see more, you can play the demo that has been made available today. If that’s not enough, also enjoy a recent video, a batch of screenshots from Gamescom, alongside details of all the editions of the games, and the reveal trailer from E3.

Manual vs Automatic One of the biggest considerations when racing is whether to use an Automatic or Manual transmission. For new players, the choice should be clear: Automatic. It offers the easiest gameplay experience and is more than sufficient for winning races.However, when you’re ready to make that next step, switch things to Manual. Driving with a Manual transmission offers you a much greater level of control over the car and how it accelerates. You can stay in gear longer to help you climb a hill or take a corner and you can shift faster, letting you quickly drop 2 or 3 gears, or raise them, in the event of an emergency.Driving Manual does have it’s downsides of course.

During the chaos of an intense race it’s easy to forget to shift. Also, if you’re a fan of music or having general discussion while playing, it will often drown out the sound of your engine, making it harder to hear when you need to shift without constantly looking at your tachometer.Should You Turn On or Off the Assists Taking a sharp turn off of previous games, Forza 7 no longer rewards players for racing with their assists turned off. This means that there’s no longer a reason to race under harsh conditions unless you truly like the challenge. Note: By default, Forza 7 will start with all assists turned to maximum. You can change this during the very first race, so if you wonder why your car is handling funny, it’s because all the assists are on.With the financial motivations gone, we suggest everyone at least starts with the assists on. Stuff like Traction Control and Stability Control make the racing experience far better while active, although ABS isn’t that important if you know how to softly use the brakes, so it can remain off if you like.Ultimately, what you leave on and off should be up to your personal level of play and preference, however it’s best to err on the side of caution now, so that you don’t give yourself an unnecessarily hard game to play!The Weather and You.

One of the biggest additions to the Forza franchise has been weather. Forza 7 takes it even further, with intense rain, day/night cycles and other weather conditions able to cause havoc during a race.The day and night cycles have the most obvious effects but also a well hidden one. When it’s night, your vision is obviously limited but the race track is also colder, which gives you slightly less traction but it’s important to consider when driving super cars that rely on every bit of friction they can get.Rain and other weather conditions will have varying effects on the track.

Light rain will cover everything in just enough water to cause you to lose traction while cornering, or spin your tires during launch. Heavy rain can be even more disastrous, as puddles will form that will cause your car to drag, suddenly lurching to one side or hydroplaning out of control.

The moral of the story then, just like in real life, is to slow down when the bad weather comes, or you’ll be introducing yourself to many walls.Toying with Gear Ratios As you get better at racing, more options will open up to you to customize your racing experience and adjusting Gear Ratios is one of them. Generally speaking, this never has to happen as most cars have a sufficient stock setting to get you through most races.However, if you’re willing to put the time in (and yes, it takes considerable time), then you can begin to unlock a lot of extra power from your cars. In the tuning section before a race, you can adjust the Gear Ratios, which affect how long each gear is in your car. The length of a gear will dictate your speed as you enter and exit that gear, and how power is delivered in an overall sense to the car. For example, a car with a very long Gear Ration will accelerate very slowly, but have a higher top speed when and if it reaches it. Gear Ratios begin to pay off as you learn each track and car that you’re racing on it.

Let’s use Laguna Seca for example. This track has several hills, and very short straights with lots of precision cornering. If you then take a car with a ton of power onto it, you’ll find that you're struggling to make any progress because the car doesn’t have time to reach 5th or 6th gear, where all the power is locked. With that in mind, you could then go to the garage and adjust the Gear Ratio so that 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear were a bit longer. This gives you more power early on, while sacrificing some of your top speed.The difficulty in adjusting Gear Ratios is that there is no one size fits all solution. Every ratio needs to be unique to that car and that track, because no two cars or tracks are the same.Proper Cornering Techniques Slamming down the throttle all the time, although fun, is not the most effective way to race.

This is most noticeable when cornering, and will quickly lead you to a head on collision with the wall you’re trying to avoid. Turning around a corner may seem like a simple endeavour, but there is a surprising amount of nuance to it that you can learn to master and take your racing skills to the next level.There are two main things to consider when cornering:. Entering and Exiting - A light turn doesn’t require much, and you can sometimes stay on the throttle as you go through it. However, the tighter the turn, the more you need to brake in advance. The angle also dictates how you should enter and exit the corner. Kessen 3 characters. If it’s very light, you should stay along the outer edge, so that you can maintain a maximum speed. However, if it’s a tight turn, you want to start on the outer edge, but then turn aggressively so that you cross close to the inner edge, then exit while accelerating towards the outer edge.

The banking of the turn - This relates to any slope or hill that is involved in the turn. If the corner has a heavy bank, like on a Nascar style track, then you can stay heavy on the gas because the banking will help push your car down. If the corner takes place while going down a hill, you need to break much more than usual due to the weight distribution of the car, but if it’s an uphill corner, you can usually stay hard on the gas because the weight is distributed in your favor.Practice with your Cars Every car is a different beast and it can be easy to forget that fact. Even when their in game statistics are identical, there can be subtle differences. Weight distribution alone can have a large impact on how a car handles, making two otherwise identical cars drive very differently.It’s good then to go into free play sometimes and test out new cars, or vehicles you are upgrading.

Taking just a few minutes to learn a car and how it handles on a specific track can make all the difference. Stick z bowling. It will also inform you of any changes you might need to make to that car, such as the Gear Ratios.Straight Wheels Make for Better Braking A simple but often overlooked component of racing is proper braking technique. That's right, there actually is a right and wrong way to slow down your car.While racing around the track, it's common to brake while turning your car. This certainly works, but it's not the most effective way to slow down a vehicle.

Since the wheels are turned, they do not offer the same amount of surface area to slow the car down with, which will result in a bad time. Even worse, because the tires will be slipping, you also won't turn as effectively.For this reason, the best way to slow down is before reaching the corner.

You want to brake while approaching the corner, then begin the turning process and ideally begin accelerating once you're 50% of the way through the corner so that you exit at the highest velocity possible.
