Because FM8 will be playable on the One X? All Scarlett games will, but Scarlett is such a huge graphical jump that people will naturally want to move on.
I personally wanted to see FM7 morph into FM8 over time but it seems they want to make deeper changes this time around and keeping FM7 as their main engine doesn't make much sense from a development standpoint.
The game's current assets won't even scratch the Scarlett's potential, as FM7 already runs at 4K60 and does so on the full Nordschleife with rain. For Scarlett they'll want to bring all the cars and tracks up to spec, most certainly, while downscaling the games to meet requirements on lesser machines.
Now, this thread is a complete disaster from the very beginning.
Starting with the praise FM6 gets. FM6 is the single most overrated game in the history of the franchise. Yes, it's true. I think the only area in which FM6 has FM7 beat is sounds, but even then, FM6 retains lots of those old sounds with little range that would need to be dropped one day, and it has its fair share of lemons.
Other than that, FM7 wasn't popular because homologation was supposed to be the new meta and people couldn't race their Civics against supercars, but that's a sidestep from FM6 and not a downgrade. Also, the career mode in FM6 is easily worse than 7's, and no amount of James May and Richard Hammond will change it, as the things people criticize in 7 are present in 6 (limited PI, limited choice), with the added drawback of having those arcade mod cards that shouldn't make any sense in a track-focused game. AI is worse (they drive like a bunch of n00bs), rain is far worse with the death puddles, even graphics aren't impressive since it's still based on the first Xbox One. Quick race menu is worse since you can't change tunes on the fly.
I must go on to point out the hilarity of the same old tired arguments against the Xbox One itself, ranging from "PS4 had lots of games at launch", which is a complete lie since the Xbox One had a stronger lineup in 2013, to the commonplace "Xbox has no games", which is also a lie since up until 2016 the Xbox One had a strong first-party support. So Halo 5's story wasn't to your liking? Doesn't change the fact Halo 5 plays the best out of all Halos. What about JD Fenix being boring? Won't change how Gears 4 is the most refined Gears game ever.
Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive were two major hits on the Xbox One, so much that Sony handpicked Insomniac to create Spider-Man, a game that incorporates much of Sunset Overdrive's design, and Remedy is having success with Control, which draws heavily from Quantum Break. Put those games on the PlayStation and people will instantly love them.
It seems to me most gamers these days are impressed by cinematics and tricks, which Sony is expert at since, you know, they happen to own a film studio (Sony Interactive Entertainment). But their momentum is already starting to slow down considering how badly rated Days Gone was. In fact, it was rated much worse than those "weak games" the Xbox One has.
Finally, the Xbox One X being a "flop" is the single most ridiculous thing I've read on this forum, and I've dealt with the worst people in the Horizon subforums and Discord more than once. The X is responsible for literally resurrecting the Xbox as a brand. It sold 4K to the masses, and it's the best at playing every enhanced game on the market. By that account the PS4 Pro would be a "flop" as well, which is funny because the Pro is indeed a flop. Sony is tight-lipped when it comes to PS4 Pro sales, preferring to report on general PS4 sales instead.
The Xbox One may have lost this generation but, going into the next, whichever angle you approach it, its foundation is much stronger than PlayStation's. And Forza will surely benefit from it.
