Forza Motorsport 6 has "wet weather, 3D puddles and night races" + more

Really, really hoping for customisable career race lengths, proper pit strategy and pre-race qualifying sessions. That holy triumvirate would work wonders to boost FM's serious sim claims.

I think is is confirmed already that there is no qualifying. There is only practice.
I would really like to see customisable race lenght in career too though.
 
I think is is confirmed already that there is no qualifying. There is only practice.

That's truly baffling if correct. It doesn't sound like too much work to collect the lap times from a second practice session and use them to organise the grid in descending order. Hey presto: qualifying!
 
I'm having an issue with my Forza Rewards... I am only getting the bare minimum of extra cash even though I have well over a hundred cars from each game. For some reason it is not counting it correctly. I even think Forza Rewards stat page counts all my cars, but the bonus cash content still reads the minimum.

As much as I am excited for Forza 6 (which is a lot) it's these little things that are omitted (that wouldn't take a lot of effort to implement) are deflating the hype just a little. Hopefully we'll see it in a patch!
 
With the new reveals coming every Tuesday, can we expect a big announcement at Gamescom in the briefing today? Or just a standard Xbox Wire post?

Would be great if Dan came on stage and dumped the rest of the track list (including Suzuka and Sonoma, maybe even Monaco), dropped the mic, then left.

Demo maybe?
 
my reason for thinking that they will not be releasing a demo, besides being very hard work taking away from development, is that it might reduce the value of getting the ultimate edition early,
 
Demo maybe?

I think demo is a bit too soon. Obviously it's all speculation, Forza 6 probably won't even be in the presentation. Would be nice to have a licensed race series or something announced if it was though!
V8 Supercars, full BTCC roster, ANYTHING PLZ

Some Microsoft guys were hanging around at the Nurburgring before gamescom. I think Forza 6 might pop up there but I doubt there will be a demo so soon.
 
I'm just a few hundred points away from tier 8. Don't think I'm gonna make it.

You can do it!

I've resigned myself to Forza 5's Nurburgring Achievements and AFKing the Drag Races with a Rubber Band while I play Splatoon next week to get the Car Loyalty.

I've got 11,732 points so far and I am aiming for 11,925/12,000 next week, due to the Auction House (-10 points), my Forza 3 not registering that I have all the achievements (-25) and Forza Horizon 1 not saying I have all the DLC (-50).

Also, Forza Tweeted:

It's going to be an exciting week at @gamescom, are you ready? Follow #FordGamescom for live updates. #gamescom15

How far does this partnership between them go?!

Deep, they knew about the car before if was announced, which is kind of crazy for a video game company.
 
Turn10's logo was on the DirectX 12 screen again. Didn't they confirm that Forza 6 is DirectX 11 on Xbox? So this would be something else or something PC related.
 
Forza Rain 6 =D
Little underwhelmed too...thought they would talk a bit more about new features.
But we only got Rain...on some tracks.

The Youtube video is again 30 FPS...
 
Eh, there will probably be more shown over the next few days. For now, all the new race cars in the trailer are good enough for me.

The game itself is out in, what, 5 or 6 weeks? I'm not too bothered by the drip-feeds of new info.
 
Oh, shit. BADNED is dropping the bomb:

HHR is back! Also COTA is a fun track but only if driven in high downforce vehicles... Monza! Thank god for that! If only they were able to put the 10k "ribbon" that would be insane, but more on the unlikely side, most likely there will be the GP version, GP with no Rettifilo chicane and the junior layout
