Project Cars isn't stable 60fps, and isn't 1080p though. Not that I'm saying they can't pull it off, but Project Cars really didn't come anywhere close.
One of my biggest issues with F5 was the track list. Looks like the track list will be far far better in F6, and with 26 locations confirmed, its almost but not quite on the level of PCars. This is what it could look like.
Forza 5 Returning Tracks: 16/7 based on Top Gear tracks availability
Alps
Catalunya
Bathurst
Spa
Indianapolis
Le Mans
Laguna Seca
Nurburgring
Prague
Long Beach
Road America
Road Atlanta
Sebring
Silverstone
Test Track
Top Gear - Will this still be in the game after Clarkson fracas? Would it just be Dunsfold Aerodrome?
Yas Marina
Forza 6 New Tracks (or returning from past FM titles):
Rio (from FM1 or close to it)
Daytona
Unknown 1
Unknown 2
Unknown 3
Unknown 4
Unknown 5

Driveclub has very little going on in the physics department compared to Forza, is 30 FPS, and is on better hardware. Driveclub's focus is on visuals and simplicity, you can't expect graphics like that from Forza 6. I wouldn't even expect it to look as good as Horizon 2 but that's not a big deal considering all the other improvements listed in this thread.

Isn't going to happen but one can hope.
With a pot hole like that on an asphalt race track i'd be worried lol
The more I think about it, the more I'm really hyped for this game. I'm just really happy/excited for X1 this fall. I've been more focused on the Wii U/ PC, but at this rate, X1 def is where I'll be spending most my time during this holiday. This new Forza game does sound killer.
Real-Life Splatoon!
Bought X1 for the Halo, staying for the Forza.
Hopefully they fix my Forza Rewards by then...But i'm still Tier 7, so whatevs.
It was already my #2 most anticipated game this year. (Next to P5), but for me, Forza usually is. If XBO wasn't $500 at launch last year, I probably would have bought one first over a PS4.

There was a rumor a while back that the guys Turn 10 rely on for track rendering also did a render for Monza. Hopefully that gets added in, along with most or all of the tracks from 4 that got cut (I just want Motegi and Sonoma to return, IMHO).

Personally I hope they expand the type of racing in the Forza series. Specifically to rally, they have the car selection already and the options to customise cars for it and it is a series that is competing directly with the likes of GT and something the the game is severely lacking.
Hopefully Fujimi Kaido and Maple Valley will be back in the game as well.

I agree
Personally I think you guys are overestimating how difficult it is to animate rain + effects.
I remember how some people thought the terrain deformation in Motorstorm was gonna be a game changer.

Meanwhile everyone ignored Sega Rally Revo, where it actually was.
Spin Tires has that locked down.
So the windshield wipers would only work when a car gets hit with 3D puddle spray from a car out in front?
Where do you see the windshield wipers in action? Did I miss something?
Hell yea. 2015 is probably my best gaming year of all time, beating 2007. FM6, Halo 5, ROTR, Fallout 4, Star Wars Battlefront, Witcher 3, Batman AK, MGS V TPP, Cities Skylines, and I am sure I am missing another few must-play games and some that are unannounced. Jesus Christ, I thought I could not be more excited for E3. Can't wait to see FM6. Hoping the demo starts with an intense race at Nordschleife in pouring rain and thunders.
Yeah I expect Monza to be in there, that has been rumored since 2012 that it had been laser scanned - I was surprised it wasnt in F5 as DLC tbh. Agreed on the cut tracks from F4. Rally Di Postiano, Fujimi, Sonoma, Tsukuba, Suzuka, Camino Viejo are all great tracks and should be in F6, atleast as DLC. With Rio in there, we might even see a return of Tokyo and New York (please T10)

This is fantastic news if true. Playing Forza 5, you quickly start to want more tracks. I'd love to see dirt/snow tracks (where you can use any car on any tires) and hillclimbs.

And thank goodness for that.
Between Forza Horizon and mainline Forza, racing fans on the X1 are spoilt for choice. Kudos T10.

I'm all for great racing games but I have zero trust for the veracity of any screenshots by Turn 5 at this point.
Yeah, I'd not trust anyone outside of Turn 10.

Who is Turn 5?

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
They weren't released by Turn 10.........
And insulting one of the best devs in the gaming industry on a gaming industry forum is pretty low.

pcars is multiplatform and also chose to have a dynamic lighting for day night cycles instead of baked lighting tracks like forza.

Being multiplatform is a valid excuse for meh performance? yeah I know more platforms = resources being spread but that doesn't make unacceptable performance acceptable. honestly Pcars and FM can trade blows all day but it doesn't really get anyone anywhere....unless someone is asking for a comparison which I don't see here.

Sega Rally Revo did it well too,sometimes too well. . I remember getting caught in those mud terrain areas and cripping my speed to where my 1st place lead would turn to shit. LOL. Revo did it so right. Taking those areas with the mud deformation was nasty,gave it a sense of suspense and caution.

Doesn't excuse the crappy AI and CPU drivers being able to take lines that are impossible for the player to take.
I think so, closest thing I can think of would be The Show but even that's cross-gen.

I wanted to post the following, but couldn't since I was at work...
Does Forza 6 represent the first sequel for a next gen exclusive title?
It could be why there is such a jump in car count and the addition of wet tracks and night time racing while maintaining 1080p and 60fps. I am not sure what DX12 adds, I am sure it does something, but I think the main reason is that it represents Turn 10's second game on the console (not including their involvement in Forza Horizon 2) and historically T10 has made big leaps on their second game on a console, in addition to their technical prowess. I am just hoping for a clean image quality. That is one thing visually that mainline Forza games have had issues with is the implementation of decent AA to counter the jaggies.

Is any of that worth it if it makes your performance target completely pointless? Find a better solution... murdered performance in a racing games makes the game a complete skip for me on console. I figured I'd just wait for Forza to do it right and it looks like my patience will pay off.

Also fictional tracks from Forza 1.
Here is my list of tracks/environments that were not in F5 that I hope are in F6:
Maple Valley
Alpine Ring
Fujimi Kaido
Amalfi Coast
Camino Viejo
New York Circuit
Sunset Peninsula
Sedona Raceway
Infineon Raceway
Suzuka
Mugello
What I don't want and despise are the Test Tracks that they count as tracks. Even the Top Gear ones I really disliked.

lmfao. I was trying to remember the name of the other test track and that is the one I really despised...Sidewinder and all of it's variants. I just don't get those tracks, there were not fun and rarely did I play them on-line since no body liked them. I hope they stay WAY clear from Sidewinder and the like.
It means water pooling up on the track, ie: not just a wet surface on the track, but some parts/sections of a track will have more water on them than others which will affect handling. That's what it sounds like from the limited information we have. It may just be a visual effect or it may affect handling, we don't know yet.
Yeah I knew what to expect from this thread sadly. People drawing conclusions from next to no information, the "I doubt it will look better than Driveclub" posts etc. The only thing that's missing is our favourite Forza troll, Xanadu.
Really though, I'm so fucking pumped for this. It looks on target to exceed my expectations. I honestly wasn't sure if they could squeeze wet weather and night racing in and get it to run at 60fps, but by the sounds of it they have which is awesome. I hope they're really going to raise the bar with Forza 6. Looking forward to an expanded career mode, racing with the ForzaGAF crew, the photomode thread...can't wait for E3.
I've made the setup investment in Forza and Turn 10 is delivering. Can't wait for E3. Hell I can't wait for next years E3 for Horizon 3. Keep em coming...

Gonna need a smoke machine for when it's foggy and sprinklers for when it's raining.
Dan for Prez!
you know saladine, its very rare that I envy a person for his work.
but this motherfucker, I fuckin' envy him
I mean, we get a forza motorsport every two years (and dont get me wrong, this is a truly GREAT schedule), but Dan...
its like this dude says, everyday, but for forza stuffs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGy-5to56LE
Dan you lucky mofoIt's not even close. I'm looking forward to Halo, but Forza consumes my life when I get into it.

How do you like the Challenge so far?
Sure, but then there's no point in bringing up PCars as an example, when its design choices cause perfoemance that would be completely unacceptable in a Forza title. I appreciate Forza for what it doesn't do, as much as what it does.
The Alcantara suede is nice. Unit is portable and folds up rather easy which is why I got it. My main con is its a little on the narrow side. If you aren't a particularly slim fellow you may find it bit uncomfortable.
