Forza Motorsport 6 has "wet weather, 3D puddles and night races" + more
- Thread starter Steverulez
- Start date
This.
Also, reduced loading times, no announcer during the loading screens, less midday sun,
But one "feature" that will make F6 infinitely better than F5.......No Jeremy Clarkson and the Top Gear bullshit. Port-a-loos........really?

Holy shit are we bringing back that old debunked rumor. First it was twisted pixels game Loco Cycle that was running on PC. They later came out and admitted it was their decision to do so. Second multiple outlets reported on seeing Ryse and Forza 5 running on actual Xbox ones at that E3.

No, this is a Forza thread! (Thanks!)
It certainly is, and I won't be too disappointed by it if it is. Would be cool if we could have at least a couple AI racers though. And thank you, my life has meaning now!
Which class did you choose?
(This always reminds me of Shining Force, sorry)
Wing Knight.
Bring back Fujimi Kaido please Turn10
Yes! And give us other hillclimbs like Pikes Peak as well. Nothing's more fun than pushing weak cars for all they've got up a steep hill and just barely getting there. It's great for split-screen laughs.
Ah that takes me back. Remember the Ryse "downgrade"? Good times.
I read otherwise ( cinemablend, eurogamer ). Do you have links for that? Just curios.

You read wrong

Can't believe people still bring this up.

It was running on an actual Xbone as reported several times.
They probably just needed to tone down things for full grid.
IIRC, that version demoed at Jimmy Fallon's lacked cube mapping among other things, and IIRC it was still running on FM4 physics
I don't trust driving game videos until something is show where it is a player clearly playing the game. Far too much done in photomode or videomode where they graphics are uplifted beyond what you actually play.
No assets, minus higher poly cars, are different in photomode/replays in Forza.
They graphics is basically the same. heheh
In the case of Forza Horizon, photomode and gameplay differences can be almost indistinguishable.
The car your racing is always the high-poly car in Forza, so no asset difference.No assets, minus higher poly cars, are different in photomode/replays in Forza.

In Horizon 2 photomode swaps in higher poly car models. Replay mode is identical to gameplay.
Forza 5 has better car models in gameplay than Horizon 2.

Only in time trial and other game modes where you race alone actually.
They like to starve us out...

Man just threw the game in for a spin at LeMans in the LaFerrari and it sounds so good. Hit the bass up full.
So if the game has dynamic lighting will this fix the awful contrasts on some tracks? I always felt some tracks were too bright in some areas then took dark in shadows especially cockpit view.

Well you learn something every day, disappointing. Although the fact that I haven't noticed differences between the cars say on the menu to game, shows why they'd do it.

I wouldn't really expect much before E3 other than "watch the E3 show to find out more"
Have proof of that? I'd like to see a comparison between something like the P1 on a full grid vs solo.
I'm not saying you're lying or anything (I know other games do that), I just haven't seen it myself in Forza 5.
You just know he's watching this thread. Pointing and laughing at us, while we starving for information.
He's to busy getting ready for E3
Wasn't.... wasn't he supposed to do this?
Helios is probably like "Our 'leak' on the Japanese Xbox site was successful. ForzaGAF is scrambling for more information. E3 hype levels maximum."
Yes I recall him saying he would do this.

Yep this is true. It looks gorgeous I just wish they toned the contrast down a bit.
I always thought the Top Gear stuff was a good little side thing every now and then.

I'm pretty sure he did..........I wasn't miran his gains.
I want to see the receipts.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
It was probably quite expensive for what it added to the game.
Probably not so much now...
I hope they still get the guys to do voices in the game without the TopGear branding. It added a bit of personality, which is hard to do in a racing game.
I don't know if we can all agree on what looks better, to be honest:
driveclub:
gran turismo:
forza 5:
The 2D crowd in FM5 is worst because they don't move. I would be ok if FM6 didn't have any spectators. Would look better than static cardboard cutouts and it would free up some resources.

Just took these two shots. One is from solo (Rivals/chhallenge) the other is with a full grid.

Why does it matter if they move or not? The only time I noticed the crowds in 5 was the 3d flag holder that were mixed in. Most of the time it's nothing but a blur.

Playing racing games solo can sometimes, to me, often feel quite...maybe "lonely" is the right word. Like I'm running round an open-world game with only a few NPCs who act suspiciously like robots.
I get that crowds are meant to fill some of that void and give it some atmosphere, but they do nothing for me in that respect - 2D, 3D, static or in motion. So yeah, dump 'em.
In fact, drivatars in FM5 do more to make me feel like my solo game world is occupied with personality than crowds.

Actually all the crowds in these racers look quite bad. Some look like bad photo shops, others sorta N64ish with the glove hands and alien hands. LOL. They are look goofy, noone is the clear victor here. Just kill the crowds altogether and have giant animated bill boards with car sponsors. Or have sections at the side of the track with a flat 3D jumbotron with an overlap of streaming video - fans holding up signs rooting for their favorites. In other words severely limit the 2D and 3D,the less the better,cause it just doesn't look good in these games.

Is there meant to be a difference between these two?
Horizon 2's crowds are pretty amazing for a racing game, actually.

Completely non-interactive, though. In PGR (from 3, I believe) they at least used to step back from the barrier when you made an ill-judged power slide.
You can see them at the start of some races and when slowing down at some turns. Ultimately, I don't care. If 2D crowds are back in FM6, I won't care. I'm just stating I think they look worse than 3D modeled crowds that animate.
The top car has less polys.

I agree partially. They look the least worst to me. But someone did say it perfectly,they look like they were ripped with photoshop from an episode of The Office. LOL. Nailed that one!
I think its a tough call for Sony and Microsoft with what to do with spectators. You wanna have all that power going towards your engine, not wasting even a tiny bit on great looking crowds.Just took these two shots. One is from solo (Rivals/chhallenge) the other is with a full grid.
Bottom car is turned (rotated) more, but no difference.
There are less polygons on the top car.

Man I feel the same but I guess have the option to borrow my bro X1 for this and Halo 5.
It's noticeable on the wheel well. That's how I could tell them apart.

First i was searching for differnces but once u said polygons i cannot unsee it anymore.
Difference is pretty big. But the lower poly one is full grid and higher is 1 car ??
Thats weird i never heard about it before.
But its defenitly there. My guess is many race games do this, i for one never checked it or noticed it in fm5. Until this comparison

has less polys + fully detailed interiors.
Not hugely noticeable from that distance, though.
