It's just so weird to have these random announcements of what not to expect for your most enthusiastic buyers. |
Meh, I didn't even know Forza Motorsport had split screen until now, Lol. So I looked it up and the split-screen in Forza Motorsport sounds barebones (read that it's 1v1 only with no AI), I feel like split-screen is the new easy rage bait, nobody cares that Forza Horizon doesn't have split-screen, do people honestly largely use split-screen in Forza Motorsport? I'm guessing Turn 10 has the data that says otherwise.
It's worth listening to the video, he gives actual gameplay reasons as to why the other two features aren't coming which is different to why split-screen isn't coming (technical difficulties). The reason for spectator is because the spectator takes up a player slot in featured multiplayer. The reason for racing with AI in featured multiplayer is because of impacts on your safety rating (new feature).
For these 3 missing features, Turn 10 has added dozens of new features, which often get overlooked in these complaints. The level of track detail far exceeds what previous Forza Motorsports have had. This wasn't so much an "announcement" of what not to expect, they were announcements in the middle of a huge video delving into the multiplayer and all the new features, but the negativity gets more clicks, Lol.
Also, there's another ? in that he says two of these features aren't available in their new featured multiplayer, but doesn't make a comment if they're available in other multiplayer modes, here he was specifically talking about the featured multiplayer, we know that "no AI" is 100% talking about featured multiplayer only, it's likely that "no spectator" is only featured multiplayer only due to eSports.
Imo, they're all very minor missing features, 2 were removed due to design reasons and 2 are only removed from specifically a new multiplayer mode, I'm also not sure why or how many people, play online multiplayer for the purpose of playing against AI, Lol. The only "technical" issue here is the split-screen removal.
