Any reason for the release date being 02.10.14 for european players?

02-10 is a Friday where as 30-09 is a Tuesday, Friday is the normal release day for retail games in the EU and Tuesday is that day for the USA (due to logistics). And as Microsoft wants to stay friends with those retailers... 1 + 1= 2

It's not optimal yet but at least it's better than release dates pre-Xbox 360.

So the settings are similar but there's no Rally Di Positano for sure?

Haven't really looked at map in detail.

Thank God.. the "Rally Di Signature" like me and my friend used to call it (the map looks like somebody's weird signature) is terrible.

The risc/reward for the actual shortcut shortcuts with trees like that are awesome. Crazy gif.

In some car classes it was a nightmare, paired with a lower class it was a great track.

Reminded me of the original Sega Rally.

I don't think so it has that shadow blob under the car that Forza is known for, hopefully it'll by fixed in Forza 6.

Looks like a photo from goodwood to me?

Ubisoft often pushed for the same date. Don't get why this could not be the norm.

There's a stretch of road in Castelletto that's very reminiscent of several corners from one of the shorter Amalfi ribbons in FM3/4; perhaps there will be other familiar bits spread across the full map.

Yeah, endless hairpins don't make for an exciting drive, and it's also why I've never been able to understand the hard-on people have for the Stelvio Pass. Pretty to look at, sure, but shitty to drive, I'd bet.

Haha, yeah we're just joking.

Those things we mentioned are the usual complaints about Forza that I've heard over time.

I would take the whole camino complex over the Rally... It's in the same region too.

I really hope they bring back more fictional tracks in FM6. Especially Maple Valley and Sunset... Those were really missed in FM5.

Klocker · Sep 18, 2014

one thing I noticed, in cockpit view the engine and ambient sounds are almost as rich as outside the car (at least bonnet)

Where as in F5 the cockpit sounds were far too muffed to enjoy properly in dashcam... FH2 are not nearly as muffled... me likey!

Camino is cool too. Wouldn't mind that at all.

I remember in the Forza 3 hype thread here before FM3 came out when we finally discovered that the 3 tracks were part of one giant complex... mind blown. Such a cool concept.

BrokenSymmetry · Sep 18, 2014

All I could think about during the "Count to ten" intro was the magnificient intro to Lars von Trier's movie "Europa": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz5DBH1-J9I. I assume the similarity is conscious?

ShogunX · Sep 18, 2014

Relieved to see a new fresh golf course has made it's way in to FH2, Infected wouldn't be the same without the stupidity of a nice golf course. Looks like the new one even has a bit of water to mix things up

Ray Wonder · Sep 18, 2014

If I hit myself in the head with a brick, how much force do you think it'll take to get me into a coma for about 12 days?

About 1.21 Gigawatts of force. Love the OT thread title btw.

Predictions on Halo Warthog DLC?

The game crashed on me once today and the Kinect aid AI seems hard of hearing.

Hopefully they'll patch it.

benjarnin · Sep 19, 2014

Quick question.
Does the $25 car pass unlock cars that you can unlock through the game or are they dlc exclusives?

Also whats the difference between the car pass and the vip membership?

A) DLC. Car pass is basically buying 6 DLC car packs in a bundle

B) Car Pass gives you 31 DLC cars (30 from DLC plus Noble available on launch I guess), Vip gives you 5 different cars and some other stuff (double XP, unique Rivals events)

Klocker · Sep 19, 2014

Just pulled the trigger on the ultimate pre-order. $89.99 with VIP and am tier 6. So yea. Looking forward to Sept 30.

It's fun to sometime get out of the first gear when you race.

Fun fact... I actually don't think I've ever done a single oval race in my life.

Edit: No wait, there was a couple of oval events in FM3... That's it.

RawNuts · Sep 19, 2014

Another one.

scorcher59 · Sep 19, 2014

I know this might be a bit of a stretch and the logistics are a bit complex but how cool would it be to have a FM5/FH2 Crossover online championship where you pick cars that are available in both Games to have circuit and street circuit racing?
Also Evo X joyridin'

Bummed by that too although FH1's replay cameras were'nt that good tbh

VRMN · Sep 19, 2014

Loved the demo. Was going to hold off on preordering, but then I saw today that the Ultimate version was $10 off and went "okay, I'm in." So I got the game, car pass, and VIP membership for $90. Not bad, in my mind.

Wizman23 · Sep 19, 2014

Not a big fan of racing games AT ALL but really enjoyed the demo. Glad its not ultra sim like the normal Forza games are.

RawNuts · Sep 19, 2014
