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

That's the first I've seen of what I assume is "heavy" rain and that looks pretty damn good. Not sure why it's so dark inside the car, but the rain effects etc. look orright.
 
Screenshot?
I made a screenshot, tried to upload it and got a "try again later" error. Then rebooted and after 3-4 minutes of patching my XBO restarted and I still get the error message.

But if you know how the leaderboards looked before in Forza, it's the same now with columns for Position, Gamertag, Time, Car, ABS, TCS, Auto... and now also File. ABS, TCS, Auto and File can have the states empty, half- and full circle.
Replay and tune?

Just speculation.

Sounds good with the "tuning setup downloadable", but don't ALL leaderboard times have downloadable replays?

Edit: just realized next to the table you get info on the selected entry, and there it also says "tuned by unknown" and the PP is not a column in the demo, you only can find out by selecting a gamertag/time what the exact pp of the used car was.

Going from memory on previous Forzas, no, I don't think all times have downloadable replays, just ghosts when you actually play it.

Was it not a paperclip in previous Forzas?
 
That's the one where all are cars only had only 1st gear because of all the carnage right?

Oh yeah! Holy shit, I forgot about that part.

And are you okay man? It looks like you had a stroke when you were entering your info into the Spreadsheet Soudsc.

Can somebody add me please, I'm stuck on a mobile.

Question : I haven't really followed the news up until this point, but will there be "light" versions of the weather? Say, light rain, versus heavy downpour?
 
I'm not seeing whether the Forza 6 XBone bundle comes with the standard or deluxe/ultimate, I'm guessing it's standard.

Would I be best off buying the bundle, or buying a regular XBone and pre-ordering at gamestop/on xbox live?

I might be wrong, but I was under the impression that the only way to get the editions other than the standard one, was digitally.

I guess it depends on whether you are happy with the standard version or not.

I guess that means buy a regular XBone, and preorder digital.

Fine with me.
 
X-D

No idea what you're talking about. The replay system was fucked up. I played a solid, legitimate race!!!!!11!

I don't know which track people saw it on, but I nearly jumped up and wrecked on one rival challenge.

The exact moment I crested a hill a backwards driving ghost went straight through my cockpit.

Scary stuff.
 
Was a great time for gaming - such much variety and imagination.

I'm amazed that people will look at Forza 6 and say it looks poor. They are playing games we could only dream of back then, such things were science fiction.
Yup so true. The cool thing with Forza 6 is that they managed to get it to look this good while still going for 60fps. Turn 10 is Microsofts Naughty Dog, they might not innovate the genre but they're pushing out new games every 2 years with superb quality that few, if any, other devs can compare with on the platform.
 
Well the rain race was really disappointing. Nice looks, but seriously, they overdid it with the puddles. I doubt there is any racing series out there that would race with THAT much water standing on the track...

Likely not, but forza doesn't go for replicating a racing series anyways. It's just a new neat hazard that shakes up the normal line you're used to over thousands of laps at the track.
 
never raced with a wheel before....

as a noob would I be missing out terribly grabbing a 458 Spider wheel $100 with no feedback or not do it unless I'm willing to go for a mad catz FF wheel $300?

i love the vibration on my controller so not sure I would appreciate no rumble or ff from 458 but don't know if I'll even use it that much or enjoy it yet.

opinions please?

Alright, I still have our ForzaGAF list from before so I just removed everyone to start fresh. Quote this post if you want to add yourself to the list.

I always forget if you have to use one of these assists, which one do you use?

TCS or Stability? Stability right? because it doesn't cut power to the engine right?
 
Speaking of the Ford hot lap leaderboards, how do people run w/o TCS (in a RWD w/ 600 hp) and achieve better lap times than those using it? I consider myself a pretty good driver, but how are these guys accelerating out of turns in 2nd/3rd w/o having to baby the throttle until traction is attained, thus losing valuable seconds? I'm pretty much sliding around the entire track w/o TCS, albeit very much in control, but still.

Been playing since Forza 1 and this has always perplexed me. Still have a lot to learn I guess. Git gud?

I realize TCS cuts down on your full potential of power, but you pretty much don't have to manage the throttle at all while using it.

I doubt those times came in the first few laps of a run but I always find when trying for a good time you go into the zone and start to find the best ways to handle the car in corners, TCS sometimes bogs you down where you could accelerate half a second earlier without it.

Talent + TCS = Amazing times

Talent - TCS = Very quick times

soundscream - TCS = look out!! Someone is going to get hurt!

Sit your backwards driving ass down.



Anyway, the prospect of driving around the ring with all those puddles sounds equally frustrating and exciting.
 
Don't know if this has been posted but it seems like the pre-load has started, I uninstalled my game and started the re-install and it has downloaded about half a gig and shows 1% complete.

Once I get a decent capture device (or upgrade my laptop so I can use the GameDVR on there) I am going to start a new Green Hell Series. And we will definitely have to do some runs in the rain and at night. Haven't figured out yet if I want to do them ALL in the same weather/TOD setting of if it would be better to mix them up.

Maybe all the Guest Drives will have to be in the dark or rain. lol

Does anyone know why? p3tran has been gone for a LONG time as well now.

Sadly I think P3tran was permed

I think it started a bit ago because mine was on like 96% last night.
