Microsoft has made a complete U-Turn and backtracked on its massive changes to Forza Motorsport 7’s VIP bonuses, following an outrage by various fans.
Early adopters were not happy to find Forza 7’s VIP bonuses did not work as they had in Forza 5 and 6.
In a statement issued last night, developer Turn 10 pledged it would revert VIP rewards back to the system used in previous games.
“Since Forza Motorsport 7 launched into early access last week, everyone here at Turn 10 has been keeping a close eye on our players’ feedback,” the boss of Turn 10 Alan Hartman revealed in a lengthy, apologetic blog post.
“The most important thing to us is to maintain open communication with the Forza Community. We’ve heard what you have had to say and, starting today, you can expect some significant changes.
“Over the weekend we heard loud and clear from Ultimate Edition owners expressing frustration over the VIP membership offer in Forza Motorsport 7. We immediately updated the VIP description in the Windows Store to alleviate any future confusion. As head of the studio, I apologise for any confusion or frustration our players may have experienced.”
VIP membership holders will get four additional cars as a make-up gesture (2016 Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 Forza Edition, 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Forza Edition, 2017 Acura NSX Forza Edition and the 2010 Maserati Gran Turismo S Forza Edition) and a lump sum payout of 1m in-game credits.
Lets hope it now makes the game more enjoyable as all Forza games have been previously.
