Seriously, i seen the news, no Mitsubishi, Toyota, Lexus in any forza game going forward.
As a HUGE forza/jdm fan...that hurts, i have fond memories of the mines EVO VI from forza motorsports 1 drifting around fujimi kaido.
Gran turismo seems to be the only racing game with a pretty long list of iconic toyota cars...beit road car or race car. From the 1967 2000gt to the legendary 1997 supra MK4.
Toyota them selves said they don't want people customizing their cars, yet on GTSPORT you can have a 1000hp supra covered in anime decals....
(So Toyota straight up lied)
I think it comes down to the actual relationship of car manufactures and the game itself.
GT has had a long history with Toyota and mitsubishi, Vision GT is direct proof of that with manufactures designing concept cars to be played in gtsport.
Alot of people are saying sony/pd are to blame, but ultimately i think it's toyota and mitsubishi who are being very biased towards sony/gran turismo.
Toyota first released the 1997 supra rz, 1989 supra turbo A, 1967 2000 GT and 2015 Toyota FT-1(supra concept)in a free update.. and then released the 2019 Gazoo Racing Supra GT3 car in another free update... later came a free update that bought the 1997 sw20 MR2 and 2018 GT-86 Gr package...Toyota went so far as to blatantly showcase this on their facebook and japanese Toyota website...
And now they're bringing the shuniego AE86(initial d creators personal car) and 2020 supra road car.
.....japanese brands are just heavily biased towards sony/pd/gran turismo.
Which raises the question, will this be a trend going forward? Who's next? Nissan? Honda? Subaru..?
