Forza Motorsport 6 has "wet weather, 3D puddles and night races" + more
- Thread starter Steverulez
- Start date
Yep, you win.
Went to the Toronto Microsoft X15 show last night and got to play a few rounds of Forza 6. I now know what they mean about 3D puddles - there's actual depth to them and you can feel the car being pulled into them. Looks great too!
There were 6 modes if I remember in the demo
Ford GT in Rio
Ford open wheel
2 rain tracks - one with an Audi, one with a volvo
2 night tracks, one with a Huracan, one with a BMW Z4 GT3
I did the Ford in Rio (gorgeous track)
Rain track with the Audi (my first choice)
and the night track with the Z4.
Long loading times.
Got to try Cuphead, The Division, Gears Ultimate, and Mad Max as well.
Won myself a shirt too!

Load times have reportedly been vastly reduced in the retail game.
Any other gameplay/graphical impressions from last night?

Is it time to start scheduling a Day -1 (Sep 10) meetup?
This is probably zorbs' responsibility, and I fully expect GHG and Mascot to be there so they can show us how the hardcore roll.
You know I will be there too man. I already have the 10th off of work so I can just relax at home and play all day.

Yep, absolutely perfect.
AI was weak, but I think that was already covered in this thread that it was intentional for demo purposes. The handling felt pretty good to me too, but I haven't played FM5 in a long time, so hard to say.
Visually looked quite good - rain accumulation, sound, etc - pleasing. In certain scenes the windshield still looked like it wasn't there - minimal/no reflections I noticed like you'd see in Driveclub.
Saw this on reddit. Is it known that they are doing Showcase events

Nailed it.
Yes. Kinda like Horizon. You get a challenge and if you win you complete it and get to keep the car.

I am genuinely excited about these events. The Bucket Lists were some of my favorite bits of Horizon 2 and I can't wait to see what they come up with for Forza 6.
Anyone remember the incredible race in PGR4 where you had to take the Maserati 250F around the Ring in snow? Still one of my favorite bits of any racing game ever.
Video!
You don't keep the car in Forza 6. There's too many showcases and they come around too often for that

What? Then the fine gentleman I talked to during Xbox Fanfest lied to me. Find him!
All I remember from PGR4 is dat Platinum+ race with the jet turbine superbike. Damn that was hard as hell.

Oh yes, I remember that. Loved the PGR series!! Nice driving by the way.
MS, please give us a PGR5, and PGR4 with backwards compatibility on Xbox One.

Maple Valley and Fujimi Kaido say otherwise

And don't forget about Camino Viejo.

Maple Valley
Tokyo (from FM1)
Camino Viejo (w/ Ladera and Iberion)
Fujimi Kaido
Pacific Shipyards (from FM1)
New York
Rally Di Postiano (full layout)
sooooo good!
This...this is good.

I love the way Dan deflects complaints about the old originals. People are bemoaning the lack of Maple Valley and he fires back with:
lol
I didn't realise Dan was so active on Twitter. I gained more insight in ten tweets that I ever did in ten years of PR interviews. I might start tweeting him about the elephant in the room.
Why would anyone mind? People make new threads about finding a boil on their ball-sack.
This is NeoGAF.

@dan_greenawalt @PTG_Chunky @manteomax definitely not better than FUJIMI Kaido, Dan. That track is absolutely legendary.
A Hint, maybe?
Perfection.

So nice you quoted it twice in a 24hr span
Mascot has two personas. Common knowledge
Evil Mascot has my passwords, so any bad shit is down to him.Mascot has two personas. Common knowledge
Dan is such a tease on twitter. But man if Fujimi came back, it would awesome! Maybe a Ten Year Anniversary Track Pack?
I'm almost done prepping a bunch of my paints for Forza 6 day 1, super excited to get these up (and see what everyone else is working on). I took the Iron Man livery I made in Horizon 2 a few weeks ago and made a timelapse video of it. Once the game launches I'll have it up for share. Currently its on the supra and the transit van but if anyone one likes it and wants to see it on a different car just let me know.
