Yeah it's a good thing though. If rendering less cars gives you more power to play with, why not render nicer models for the ones that are there. Driveclub does the same thing, as it's good optimization. That way you aren't wasting extra power by rendering way over your target framerate. (No point in rendering at 50 fps if your target is 30 as long as you can keep it at 30.)
Forza Motorsport 6 has "wet weather, 3D puddles and night races" + more

Yup, having different LODs for a single car versus multiple car grids is a good optimization and luxury that most developers most likely wouldn't afford (creating multiple LODs is neither cheap nor easy), but in the end it will give a bit better look for those single grid events. Nothing to be ashamed about, it's only a positive in my eyes.

I bought, finished, and regret buying that damn game.

Looks like the lady is taking a dump.
EVO doesn't lie.
I know. I posted an EVO article months ago that said Magnus Walker's Porsches were being scanned for 'upcoming Forza games'.
Oh cool. :^)
Just saw this in the other thread. Very fine selection there.

I always felt that the cardboard crowds in forza 5 were a late change in development, the reveal trailer had 3D people and the cutouts are really lazy with black outlines, terrible lighting and overall look nasty, it had to have been a last minute adjustment.
Wow, watched the video three times! I'm thinking of getting a Macan Turbo in real life so I was surprised to see it in the lineup.
With a cherry on top?
Seriously great news about Porsche though, it's been a long time coming. Wasn't the last time they featured on disc FM3? Endurance and GT3 races just don't feel right without them.
That's the list for Horizon DLC though, isn't it? Not for the FM6 Porsches?
Ah yes, I should be getting some sleep probably, thanks for correcting me

FM6 is likely to contain the Horizon line-up anyway I guess - T10 won't let those models go to waste.
Those Porsches are gonna look nice in the rain.

P1 vs 918 vs La Ferrari test now possible. Excellent.
Let's wait till we can put them on a proper circuit
doubt we'll have the Top Gear Test Track in FM6 unfortunately

I can't take this anymore! Porsche in FM6, my god. I hope it won't be another expansion, just put them in the release car roster.
Someone mentioned their 10th anniversary, MS showed us some love last year with MCC, I can totally see them doint it again with Forza this year (just please don't bring back the technical side). Full fan service FM, new engine, fantasy tracks, weather and TOD. I'm dying til monday.

Really? I genuinely can't see it.

Not a developer or anything, but I think dynamic lighting actually makes way more difficult to control the lighting contrast value of the tracks. With prebaked lighting obviously you can adjust it in a much more refined way

The fact that you have to point out a location on a still image speaks volumes of how negligible the difference is.

THIS IS NOT A COMPARISON AHEAD AND NOT TRYING TO DERAIL NOTHIN', JUST POINTING OUT A FEATURE...
A really cool feature in DC is the ability to change the crowd size, small, med, large and Off. That removes the crowd and all of the colored flags that help indicate turns. Pretty cool option, gives the game a more natural feel through the countrysides.
Would be nice if more games had it. Race Pro and MotoGP had near empty stands in qualifying and practice sessions. Was a nice touch.
To agree with some of the other posters about TOD, I think it'd be great to just have a few choices of lighting/weather per track. Even if it's not dynamic, it'd give a bit more variability to the same tracks.
Excellent news about Porsche!
Man, I miss Forza, wife surprised me with a Ps4 last Father's Day, haven't gotten a One yet. Probably will when this comes out. Killed me to not play 5 and FH2, but time is limited for now.

So did Forza never have Porche vehicles? I never really noticed since they have so many cars to choose from.
To me they all blend together. But I have never been a fan of sports cars. In real life I'll take a minivan over any sports car any day.
Nope, there's a license agreement with EA and Porsche. So in order for any game to have Porsche in it, they would have to negotiate with EA to have them included. Which is why with F4 and now FH2, they were DLC.

Good thing it's a video game and you don't have to take practicality into account with anything.
I'm totally with you, if someone threw me a hundred grand I'd probably just buy an SUV over a sports car.
Porsche has always been restricted to EA games. There was a pack for FM4(which was wonderful), but Porsche skipped Horizon and FM5.
Definitely hit us up when you get one, Horizon 2 will still definitely be worth picking up after Forza 6 drops.
...and here I am, as a car lover, hating being a responsible adult, LOL.
I traded in my Corvette and Mustang to get my wife and daughters a new SUV. Glad they have a safe ride....super sad I don't have my sports cars anymore.
Edit** If someone handed me $100k to toss at a car, I'd drop it on an F360 or F430 Spider...have wanted one for years.

That is a feature of DC I like.
Previous Forza games on X360 did adjust the crowd levels. If you were racing there were crowds. But if you were time trialing the crowds were removed.
You were also given a higher detailed car as the track detail and the lack of other cars made this a non-issue.
