True, but its not fully dedicated to it. I mean what if they made a rally game competing against WRC7 and DIRT4. Would be curious what the outcome would be.
It would still most likely have those terrible and unfriendly for wheel users phisics and terrible controller support.
The closest rally-ish game in the series is 3, considering that it was more open. (*cough* Aussie *cough*)
I haven't played any Forza since Motorsport 4 extensively and have move on since, but in retrospect I would never label anything from the Forza series as simulation. I'd describe it as NFS without the over-the-top stuff.
...or any plot for that matter. I'm not sure when NFS started doing plots (unless 2015 did that), but I didn't find the plot good. The series is pretty good, although PRETTY BUGGY in FM7.
Okay, although I do agree that they do have different physics, although Forza's crash physics are pretty weak TBH.
