Of course, it&#8217;s Forza, so you know what you&#8217;re getting, but we don&#8217;t think anyone is prepared for exactly how gorgeous Forza 7 is.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside it&#8217;s stellar graphics, Forza 7 includes over 700 cars and more than 200 different configurations to race on across 32 locations, with more to be added through DLC. Dynamic weather is also vastly enhanced this time around, along with\u00a0customisable drivers, so you can really make the Forza experience your own.<sup id=\"cite_ref-verge_announce_4-1\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QITXLdS3eW0<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">The Evil Within 2<\/h3>\n<p><strong>13 October 2017 (Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bethesda has hopes of giving us new nightmares this month, as The Evil Within 2, the sequel to 2014\u2019s brilliant survival horror revival from the mind of\u00a0Resident Evil\u00a0creator Shinji Mikami, creeps out from the shadows.<\/p>\n<p>The Evil Within 2\u00a0picks up after the events of the first game, where no one believes the horrors that Detective Sebastian Castellanos experienced.
