Mate, I played FM2 9 months ago...there's no fun there.
It's all just basic races and no link between any of them.
Sorta like FM5 is, which ain't fun at all.
FM3 is where it needs to aim, 4 if you wanna be atleast better than 2 and 5.

Or maybe that could do something new, like full race weekend with practice and qualifying plus a race length slider that allows us to have races longer than 3 laps.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
This, so much. Horizon is great, but it just isn't PGR. PGR2 is my GOAT racer - the heart-pounding "I'm doing it! I'm doing it! ....FUCK YOU!!!" cone challenges, the "I have to find HOW MANY extra MPH?!" speed challenges, the titanic battle for a gold medal in the finale by getting second place round 2 laps of the Nordschlieffe with no rewind...
I miss it so much.
If Dan keeps the old two-lap races in then... well, he hasn't really been paying attention, has he?
How hard can it possibly be for a 400 people strong studio? Practice is basically letting you get the feel for the car on the track, qualifying is practically a glorified time trial, it's already pretty much in the engine. Merge that with drivatars and it becomes more interesting cause they can pull qualifying results from other people and put it in your game, practically it's current leaderboards presented slightly differently. A length slider is easy too - we already can setup the number of laps in free play. All these things are pretty much already in the game, they just need to pull it all together.
I just think Dan doesn't like motorsport.
Should've called it Forza Beardsport.

400 people? That seems... excessive. Do you have a link for that?

What was 3 like I honestly don't remember. I just liked the fact you could use your starter car almost throughout the entire thing. In the later Forza's they just throw new cars at you left and right and there was no incentive to ever stay with the same car. I did hate those sidewinder events though. Plus what happened to endurance races?

Slightly related about the laps, but I remember when Monumental took over the MotoGP license in 09. They released a version that only had 3 lap races, in all modes. You couldn't adjust it in SP or for online. You couldn't do a real lap career.
They said the research and data for most racing games showed people wanted quick races and disliked long races in any mode.
In addition to that, it was a game tailored for that nebulous "casual" fan a la Codemasters, and it failed. Badly.
Physics dumbed down, laps limited, aspects of the actual motorsport scaled back to avoid scaring non-racing fans away. All it did was tick off their niche sim fans, and it didn't grab the casual fans either. But that point is unrelated to Forza. But I do bet they have similar data about the race length. Forza 3 had some decent endurance races.
Monumental did patch the lap limit due to the backlash though.

The focus group said no.
I would bet that if you told most audiences that a career mode race involved racing the same track three times over, and one of those times you weren't even really racing anyone, that they'd say that sounds boring and you're crazy. I really do think some of the structural stuff behind these games is the result of what players theoretically want in a game.
Options. Qualifying shouldn't be mandatory but you should be penalised for not partaking in it, similar to how you are penalised for using assists like rewind. Don't quality? Start in last place.
A flag system is my most wanted addition but I don't expect that to come for a looooong time, maybe not ever.
That's more or less what I want.

They could be working with many contractors and Playground assisting in some capacity as well. I don't think Turn10 themselves are actually 400 people themselves, MS love their contracting business, I think that is playing its part in that figure
That number includes outside contract work.
Turn 10 doesn't have qualifying because they've always treated the game as a track day racer... Maybe this attitude will change with the addition of thinks like weather and night racing?

Really?!?! in September? That would be perfect. Then I could get some time in before Halo5 is released. And then Black OPs 3 in November.
I'd be stoked with either dynamic TOD or weather at this point, not really expecting either of them dynamically
How old is that post?

There are a few other job postings for track artists but nothing interesting in there.
Sorry for the wait, I had to design one that worked better on brighter backgrounds.
Would anyone else like one?
lol thanks a bunch man. matches the rim of my santa hat

PGR2 is my favourite racer of all time. If Microsoft announced a new PGR I would buy that at launch with an XBO. I like the franchise that much.
Three first party racing games would be nuts and I don't see Horizon going anywhere.
However:

There is a chance.

FZ6 will be fatastics!!!
But I still hope MS can revive PGR series, rallysports challenge and midtown madness.

Forza Zorbing 6 confirmed..? These E3 leaks just keep on coming!
Ever since I saw a video of a guy die in one of those... they creep me out.
They lost control of it going down a mountain slope and it continued all the way down the mountain and snapped the neck of one of the men while his best friend watched him die....... :/
You wouldn't see me complaining about a three-year dev cycle for each game, on rotation for yearly output.
I wouldn't mind it either but again, three first party exclusive racing games seems little out there... Maybe if one of them was also on PC?
Yes please. I really think they could do a Forza Gotham Racing or something similar, I know people say Horizon is similar but I don't see it at all, those PGR drift physics are worlds apart from any of the big racers out atm.

With all of these videos of the Koenigsegg One:1 doing laps at famous tracks coming out recently, it really makes me hope we will see it in Forza 6.
I want it SOO bad.

I think they could make a three game cycle work if the dlc support was great during the extra time.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
that looks neat.
I'd prefer it without the number, but the red one is quite pretty (and the blue one too, just the number looks a bit worse there). It's a cool way to celebrate and promote the event though.
