REDMOND, Wash — The latest entry in the Forza Motorsport series is set to become even more realistic as Turn 10 Studios has announced a new update that will add LED headlights to cars. Not only will this increase visibility on nighttime tracks for players but it will have the added benefit of blinding other online racers.
This will be the first major update to the game since it tepidly launched in October. Turn 10 says they knew LED headlights would have to be the first new feature added post-launch.
“We strive for excellence and pride ourselves on the realism our games have. We believe players will love the true to life experience of being brutally blinded by an increasing number of cars on the road,” says Turn 10 VP of Ride Pimping Mike Honcho. “Their whole screen will turn bright white and they won’t be able to see anything until you pass them, it’s perfect.”
Players weren’t exactly thrilled at the news
“I understand it’s a driving simulator but it’s hard to see how this makes it a better game. This is gonna make my road rage come out at home and I don’t want my roommates to hear that,” said player SerenityNow557
Others didn’t think the change was that bad.
“Online wimps and wokies want big daddy Forza to protect them from the LED blinding,” player PatriotGamingz said. “Real life, and real driving simulators, are about overcoming any and all challenges. I have been exposing my eyes to high-powered LED lights for hours and hours each day in preparation.”
At press time Turn 10 says its next update will add the ability for all cars except BMWs to use turn signals.
