Adding sounds that tell us if we are getting too close to the limits of the track, <strong>when we should turn or if we can accelerate or we should slow down, this system is designed so that blind or visually impaired people can enjoy the racing game like sighted people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Forza Motorsport \u2013 Blind Driving Assists\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T7aVUqmQ_Sc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a step forward from their previous game, Forza Horizon, where they already included numerous accessibility options, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/kratos-bafta-vampire-survivors-best-game-2022?ex=DINS-635.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">winning numerous awards in this regard<\/a>. Something that demonstrates the studio&#8217;s commitment to this particular facet of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something possible, also, thanks to the fact that <strong>Forza Motorsport is the closest version to the simulation of the franchise<\/strong>. Focused on on-track racing, the variety of cars and their destructibility and modification, it has shown itself since the Xbox 360 generation, when it appeared in 2005, as the main competitor to Sony&#8217;s racing game par excellence, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/gran-turismo-4-new-tricks?ex=DINS-635.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gran Turismo<\/a>. For its part, Forza Horizon, whose first installment appeared in 2012, is the most arcade and casual version of the franchise, inviting us to play more with realistic physics, variety of terrains and all kinds of different races and competitions under the excuse of a great festival centered around the motor world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Forza Horizon 5 - Official Launch Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rv7xLt5yNsM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For that reason, we look forward to this eighth installment of the Motorsport subsaga. Not only because Microsoft has to start showing that it is not lagging behind Sony, <strong>especially after the success of its Gran Turismo 7<\/strong>, which has a movie in development, but also because its accessibility options such as this no-vision driving assistance are a very good precedent that other big budget games can take note of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Some of the links added in the article are part of affiliate campaigns and may represent benefits for Softonic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forza Motorsport promises, in its new development video, to bring the franchise&#8217;s gaming experience to the only people who couldn&#8217;t experience it until now: the blind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9268,"featured_media":227203,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015],"tags":[4164],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-227200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-forza-motorsport"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9268"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227200"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227200\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":320605,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227200\/revisions\/320605"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227200"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=227200"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=227200"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=227200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
