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

Put me in the love racing slow cars group. Getting in my stock lancia delta and doing laps around maple valley was pure bliss back in the days with friends.

"They don't listen to us" is only a valid argument if "The fans" is a united front with the same opinions. Some people wanted one thing, some people wanted another. One group not getting what they want does not mean that the generic "We" were not listened to, and in turn one group getting every single thing they'd ever ask for doesn't mean that the generic "We" were listened to.

Personally, I had no interest in fantasy tracks and think the real-world track additions were great choices. Obviously, quite a lot of people think exactly the opposite. A third person probably doesn't care what tracks are on the disc, so long as their M3 CSL is there.

It's true for content, and it's true for overall game direction. This is too broad a fanbase to make the "The fans were answered!/The fans weren't answered" assumption about on all things but obvious issues with unilateral support like the removal of custom public lobbies in Forza 3 and subsequent return in Forza 4.

Very true. I wonder how Turn 10 decide on content though? As far back as FM2's reign a lot of fans on the official forums were very vocal about wanting more focus on motorsport. Around this same time I don't ever recall seeing a single post asking for soccer or bowling. I guess the big decisions are made in-house without focus groups or canvassing of external opinions. Forza is as Forza does, and I've pretty much given up now on it ever being the game I really want it to be. And that's fine now, there are other alternatives out there on consoles that scratch that itch nicely. A few years ago the options were much more limited so the frustration was more acute.
 
I miss forza. Probably it and halo are the only reasons id like an Xbox. I miss the ability to take an average car and build it into something great. I think forza does this better than even gran turismo. I miss gran turismo too lol.

John Wendl is the content director, so I would assume he decided which cars and tracks get in. As far as features go, while it's important to listen to community, the dev house itself is 100+ people strong and everyone has ideas for the game, so it's not a big stretch they though car soccer was a fun idea to implement. Ultimately, the vocal part of the community on the internet is just a tiny fraction of their fanbase, so they have to think broadly. And ultimately it's their expression for what a car game should be, I'm sure Da Vinci didn't ask for people's opinions on how to draw Mona Lisa ;)

Does anyone know if they are bringing back Credit or Car gifting? I still have no idea why they would remove that, it was such a great feature.

Loved that feature. Makes setting up league races so much easier. If someone doesn't have the car just gift it to them. Hopefully it makes a return.

Also ForzaGAF is best GAF. :)

Because it's part of the fun of doing some amateur racing with small well tuned car? And that's what forza is all about, tuning small car and amateur trackday and make your way to better machinery improving your driving.

Each to their own I guess, I hated it in the previous games.

Are we not allowed to race D and C class cars because we enjoy them? damn

OK then....
I was only asking what people liked about it, I just find them too slow to be enjoyable.
 
Forza always felt off in big powered hypercars, too little grip. That's probably why I also enjoyed racing with slower cars.

Hopefully it's better balanced this time.

Some of my favorite races have been in underpowered cars. You guys remember the ForzaGAF Miata League we ran? That thing was fuckin awesome.
Click to expand...

Yup. New MX-5 is in FM6, I think we should do it again, though perhaps with a specific build this time.

Would love to do a Caymen R series, but that would require it to be in the game.

SkinnerSw33t said:
Me too. Wasn't around for that, but Miata League sounds cool. I'd like a Muscle League.

Have wanted to do a Trans-Am inspired series since FM4 days. Build any car from the list of (small) muscle cars from the late '60s and early '70s to PI600 with mandatory cage + slicks.

Lime Rock is basically the real maple valley.

Have there been any screenshots of it? I'm curious as to when they set it. ALMS at Lime Rock is in July and it's very green. The course is open through November, and the north east in the autumn is so iconic, would love it if we got some orange.

Seriously man, we need to get those races back up and going soon. That Trans-Am race always sounded awesome, although every time we tried it with ForzaGAF it always ended badly. lol
 
Okay, after setting my Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider Racing Wheel up, I have to play on Automatic on Easiest AI Difficulty because I can't drive at all!

Hopefully I improve in Forza 6.

Sounds great. Let's see if we can't make this happen even if it's just once in a while.
 
Guess I should preorder FM6. Destiny's expansion comes out the same day, so I expect many demands on my time that night!

watch me have flat ball that night

I asked Dan the same thing a week ago. He actually responded, said more gameplay was coming in the next few weeks. A week later, still no new gameplay. This game is coming out in two weeks for ultimate edition owners, we've only seen 4 cars on 3 tracks in terms of direct feed gameplay. They've really kept it under wraps for FM6, where as Horizon 2 was pretty much the opposite. Weird.

Microsoft, please stop waving Battletoads in my face without giving me a new Battletoads game.

It better be in the works, and it better be amazing.

I can't wait to see how unreasonably difficult that sucker will be to drive at its limits lol. Especially with road tires.
 
Has the preload started?

I preordered it, and it instantly appeared in my library, 44.4GB, but there's no way it downloaded that quickly.

Ultimate edition for £30 cheaper than the UK price by getting it off the US store, so that's a bonus.

Nah I think thats a placeholder size. The real pre-load hasn't started yet. Must be soon then!
 
Ugh, I'm getting really impatient waiting for another Thrustmaster TX sale to hit here in Canada. It was $300 on sale in early May but it's been $400 since then. I kind of want to have a wheel day 1 for Forza 6, though I'd prefer to actually have some time before launch to get used to the feel of everything.

Decisions decisions. Is there a more expensive genre to be interested in? I'm going to need another wheel for PS4 when GT7 comes out lol.

I had a red one of these. Always put a smile on my face.

I have driven Impreza WRX Sti's, an Evo X and a Skyline GTR, all amazing but this car was so much fun on a day to day basis.

It was fast enough to enjoy the country roads, fast enough to make you feel you could race anything.

0-60 MPH (or 100 if your in KPH) was just under 10 seconds, and I got it to 115mph a few times.

I have always wanted one to be in a game, but they always pick the Abrath 500 and Punto...

I was this car damn it, and I love slow cars racing, nothing better than go around the track with no real need to break...

I totally forgot you can buy from the US, I'd like the ultimate edition but I think it's 110 euro, just too much for me. Must check out the price on the US store.
 
How would I go about getting my filthy hands on FM5 the cheapest?

Could I get a gift card on Amazon and then buy it digitally from there? Or perhaps a gift card for the MS Store and buy it there?

I live in Denmark, so it's still 39 USD as of right now at the cheapest online shop.. and 61 USD at the Xbox Store..

So, preferrably an online shop where I can get a code to download it. And if its cheaper than 39 USD, I'd be happy as well ;-)
