This.
T10 gets ridiculed for 2D spectators, but they took the hit in order to maintain 60fps and 1080p.
I have utter and complete faith in T10.

T10's dedication to a locked 60fps was terribly admirable. In a day and age where devs will speak wonders about 60fps, but then drop to 30 because EYE CANDY, They took the criticism on the jaw. No doubt Forza 6 will be a glorious upgrade but a repeat of their standards.

Wow, impressive feature list, especially given how most other devs have had trouble getting 1080/60 on XBO.
Look forward to seeing the game in motion.

If you're going to include Horizon, why not include all the other side releases from GT? Let see... Hey there have been 14 GT games since 1998! That's almost annualized at this point.

Finally!
That is one sweet setup that you have.
Enjoy man
Appreciate it. Just rigged up bass shaker underneath the seat about a month ago.
Made an unbelievable difference racing games. The vibration in Horizon 2 cross country races is bananas.

I would love to do that for my rig, but I won't because I don't want to be an ass to the apartment below me...........

Its a transducer so it dons't really make noise. If installed solidly to your chair with no rattling you would just feel (not hear) the vibrations.
Can't wait. I reckon this one will be the true showcase Sim for the Xbox One. The last being a launch title was always going to be a bit of a tall order, and probably not indicative of what Turn 10 can really muster on the console. On a side note, I have no idea what they mean by 3D puddles, but it certainly sounds interesting.

It was more than a rumour, it was posted on the official website of Monza autodrome that the track was being laser scanned by someone working for Microsoft..

By 3D puddles I would guess they mean puddles that each have their own physical properties and individually interact with other objects in the world. For example:

Or of course... It could just be PR bullshit. But I hope not.

Yup. It'll still look lovely at 60fps if they get the framerate welded shut like FM5, some details will be lost but they've checked the most important boxes when comparing the game to other racers. We all know the console warriors will find something meaningless to complain about for the next 2 years until the next game is out but I expect the rest of us to be more than pleased when it's finally shown off for real. Can't wait to see this beast in motion!

Lighting wise it doesn't look like a big departure from FM5:
I was hoping for a bit more realism.
I like the art style of the forza titles. Also, I'd wait to see it in motion first.

Those side games in GT are glorified demos. Unless your counting tourist trophey.
Edit: There's nothing wrong with GT release schedules, we got two gt games on ps3 which is perfectly fine.

People sure have a skewed perception of reality.
If you told anyone those two screens were from the same game they would believe you.

Sorry to go offtopic but honestly, when they are that far apart without being there early on it would probably be smarter to just release one game per generation and deliver awesome dlc until the next one. Lots of people never bought GT6 because next gen had already started. Awesome game and content, but it came out way too late. And even after all those years, with the obsession to check some next gen boxes (1080p/60fps), it still managed to look rushed. :/
Should've been the first game to get a PS4 remaster, but now it'll be too late, yet again, since people has started to become annoyed at the remasters.
Edit: On topic, looking at the screen comparisons makes me want to play some FM5 again, it really is one beast of a launch game, I believe it's still the only 1080p@locked 60fps racer this generation, pretty amazing really

Fuck this noise, the game will look fine. Whether dynamic or static, some form of weather and time of day is infinitely better than what we've had to date, and given Turn 10's track record, (sorry), on performance, it'll run smooth as shit out of a blender, and if Porsche really is back in FM6, the game could look like goddamn Pole Position for all I care.

You know what I want beyond anything else...
Customisable race lengths in career modes with the options for pit stops and qualifying. If we still have those terrible 2 lap blast your way to the front races weather and night races will be pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

And why does this need to be discussed in a forza thread?

I hope they bring back Motegi and add Sepang and Atlanta Motor Speedway, and that the Ferrari F355 Challenge is back on the car roster.
We don't know if lighting is baked in FM6. From the screenshots it looks identical to FH2 which is dynamic.
He meant that the lighting does look pretty damn realistic in that Forza Motorsport 5 shot, and I concur.

The 24 Hours of LeMans, the 24 Hours of Daytona, and the 12 Hours of Sebring are more or less THE Triple Crown of Motorsports Endurance Racing. You don't get bigger events then that when it comes to Endurance events in regard to racing.
There will be other smaller events, but to include Endurance racing and say the major three isn't something necessary baffles me, especially from the perspective of someone who played the realistic PC racing Sims.

My post was in reference to the discussion that was going on in the posts before mine regarding how the game looked at face value.
I'm in agreement with what you are saying BTW, just ask FordGTguy
. I've been disagreeing with people who have made excuses on behalf of turn 10 for the lack of weather/dynamic TOD for the longest time.Sounds like it's still baked from the descriptions, otherwise they'd PR dynamic time of day instead of just "night races". The rain effects/droplets on the car look similar to FH2 though.
Still looks a bit cartoony to me. It's just baffling that a lastgen game can still easily beat a currentgen one.
GT7 is gonna outright murder every other racer when it comes to graphics.
I'd say we wait for clarification at E3. Having several pre baked light maps for each track would blow up the file size exponentially and Forza 5 is already 40 gigs, so it doesn't sound like a realistic scenario.

You know damn well it doesn't look like that in motion.
IQ wise no, but the lighting is the same.
Why even enter this thread?
Anyway no matter how good GT7 will look if it handles like 5 and 6, it will be shit.

Only wet weather?
I guess that's something, but come on...other racers now have full weather cycles, you can't just pretend that rain alone will cut it.
In any case, I hope it's a damn sight better than it was in Horizon 2. I'm expecting something on par with or exceeding the rain in DC.

Huh? I can't talk about the weather without going to the comparison thread?

You prefer the look of gt, nothing wrong with that. I doubt they will change their art direction and you won't stop posting screenshots to prove your point. Still I say let's wait for actual gameplay footage.
I don't think that he was talking to you ;-)

Ah, my bad. Seemed like it might be directed toward me, but I just noticed the posts above mine.
