Should i get this or Forza Motorsport 7?

[Vargas78]

I've been getting more into racing games lately and was wondering if it was worth getting this or Forza Motorsport 7 on the microsoft store.

Obviously this is a lot cheaper, and I hear it's quite good. But Forza games have always been a really good quality and I used to enjoy Forza Motorsport 4 a lot on xbox 360 back in the day. Even though i don't like the microsoft store compared to steam, I'd be prepared to put up with it and pay extra for the superior product, but is it even superior is what i'm wondering. Or is Grid 2019 as good as, or perhaps even better than Forza Motorsport 7, which i hear may not have been the best of ports for PC. And at a fraction of the price.

Your input would be appreciated.

This game is dead, go for FM7/FH4 if you are into mp racing

Grid autosport if you want a grid game...

It really depends if you want a long single player career mode or mulituplayer, this game has neither. It has a short but imo fun single player game.

So from a single player angle, do the cars and physics handle similarly? Or is one more slidy, or arcadey? Is one more realistic than the other?

This, and I may add that Grid(2008) and Grid 2 were pretty good in their own ways.

Though there is no deny that both the FM and FH series have unrivaled car selections even The Crew 2 pales in comparison. Microsoft has absolutely gone bat sh*t crazy with all the vehicle licensing.

From what Ive seen it doesn't have the kind of weighty physics that Forza games do. Forza is kind of unique in that aspect.

I own both and I would lead towards Grid 2019, both are good games but none of them are perfect. IMO FM7 has bigger issues overall.

- FM7 has better lighting and sometimes looks really incredible as long as there are no trees visible because those trees are lower Res 2D Sprites that really break the immersion. The visual quality changes per track, some look amazing (natural lighting) others not so much (unnatural darkened lighting and/or 2D trees).
FM7 looks miles better in nightraces, that's one of Grid 2019s stronger weaknesses.

- FM7 has one of the worst menus in a racing game, it is not very welcoming whenever I launch the game. No catchy music, no fast transitioning, unnecessary cluttered.

-FM7 has no qualifying laps and the AI is very lifeless. You can perform shortcuts and ram AI cars with no penalties and sometimes you actually have to drive dirty to win at higher difficulty because in the "campaign" you always start as dead last place and they only give you a few rounds to catch up to first place.

- Grid 2019 has a much better campaign, it's still simple with no story cutscenes but it is to the point and you have the option to hotlap qualifies. The AI is better than in most racing games, ram them and they will get angry on you (which is even visible as marker). They will then try to cut your line if you want to overtake them the next time.

- Grid 2019's visuals have much higher contrast in its art design choice. It seems that they wanted to keep the impression of movie style visuals instead of going with full realistic lighting. Despite that, some tracks still look very realistic, especially Barcelona. Grid's weakness in visuals are the nightraces, they look bland in comparison despite them being more resource-hungry than the dayraces. Rain also looks very basic and worse than in FM7.

- For Surround Sound, Grid 2019 surpasses FM7 imo, you can hear commentators from the speakers in the croud dynamically and the other cars engine sound position is spot on.

- Handling is similar between those two games, the experience depends on how you configure them.

I am sure many will hate me for this but..
I am liking Pcars3 over FM7 or GRID 2019

Forza 7 is waaaaay superior in every aspect (carlist, tracklist, visuals, sound, customization, handling and assists, tuning, multiplayer, single player...) Grid its a cheap mobile game compared to FM7.

Me too. PC3 is definitely my favourite. Love the handling with a controller. Super arcadey and fun to drive. FM7 feels too clunky and heavy for me. I really like the handling and sense of speed in Grid but it lacks content, game mode customisation and a decent time trial mode.

PC3 is my go to if I just want to chuck a car round a track and have a blast.
