The Forza Horizon 6 leak everyone’s talking about

Forza Horizon 6 rumors are starting up again, and Windows Central can add to the fires with our own info — FH6 may be announced later this year.

Let's go Japan setting finally if true!

the reveal trailer hopefully starts with a Toyota Sprinter drifting down the Old Tokaido 732,
anything else would be a wasted opportunity

 

[Fabieter]

Oh boy fh6 japan is an instant preorder.

 

[Kacho]

Forza Japan… finally

 

[diffusionx]

they need to fix the progression structure of these games. FH5 is a mess.

 

[Abysse]

I hope they use the physics from Forza Motorsport in it. 60hz is already dated.

One can hope that the time between FH5 and FH6 was to make sweeping changes to a lot of the issues.

Or they pull a Turn 10 and do nothing but make it always online.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

I'm sure it's true, but I'll wait for an actual source to corroborate.

Also, PG is kinda in dev hell with Fable already, so it will be interesting to see how it will impact FH in general and FH6 specifically.

 

[kevboard]

yup. they need to stop using that "do whatever the fuck you want, here are 2000 random races with no real rules" nonsense structure.

a proper campaign should be the priority for this one. I don't think another Forza Horizon that bombards you with cars and events should be what they should go for

 

[Connificent]

Driving around Sony HQ in Tokyo

 

[R6Rider]

I can't wait to have 5 million credits and a car in every category within one hour of the game.

 

[Fake]

Physical media this time.

 

[OverHeat]

Day 0

 

[Gp1]

So...
It's time to buy FH5 for Peanuts before the delisting?

yea but something tells me that it will be just like that. I am sure their data says that is what zoomshits want to play.

Once the new one gets announced yep. They will likely do one final sale before delisting.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Im day 0!

 

[Seomel]

Well well well, finally

 

[The Cockatrice]

Loved both FH4 and FH5 as someone who doesnt like racing/driving games, so yeah I'm in.

Easily the worst entries

 

[tanners]

The only question I have is:Will it be all platform?
And no, Im not talked about PC version

 

[StereoVsn]

Like others said, I really hope they fix the progression structure. It just sucks in FH5.

 

[Hudo]

Can't wait to fuck everyone up with a Toyota AE86

 

[Senua]

yea but something tells me that it will be just like that. I am sure their data says that is what zoomshits want to play.

That's exactly it, zoomers would get bored driving around in slower starter cars in games like Forza Horizon 1 etc. the low attention span retards ruin it for the rest of us

 

[Tobimacoss]

Day 0

You mean Day -5 with Early Access

 

[Quasicat]

I loved the way they did progression in Forza Horizon 2, where you have a single hub and everything branches out from there. It one of the main reason that I still use my Series X so much. Having all of the Horizon games on there, plus the Fast and Furious demo, is awesome!

 

[The Cockatrice]

Easily the worst entries

 

[LordCBH]

Fuck yeah I hope! Love this series.

 

[adamsapple]

That's .. interesting.


I'd thought they would hold back on any Forza stuff until shipping Fable.

Not that I don't like this. Love the Horizon games.

 

[SHAKEZ]

Finally Japan!

 

[lughnasadh123]

As tempting as it is to release one in Japan so people would shut up about it, I'd rather it come back to the states with better maps and systems.

 

[skit_data]

Japan sounds like a better setting than Mexico IMO. While areas of the map have different types of environments it started to feel kinda samey.
I've only played FH5 so I really don't have anything to compare with.

Is the common sentiment among long time fans similar to mine or am I totally out of line here?

 

[BigLee74]

They need to up their game. FH5 was considerably worse than all the others. Maybe I had just tired of the formula, but it got 1/2 the playtime before I uninstalled.

 

[Sanepar]

Day one full price. Gamepass my ass!

 

[Larxia]

I gave up on Forza Horizon since 4.
The progression is so weird now... They want so much for no one to ever get frustrated, that you don't even have to win anything.
I remember "failing" a race because I went offroad and arrived among the last ones, I wanted to try the race again to do it again properly and arrive first, and I couldn't find which race it was on the map, I didn't see anything with no medal / bronze medal or anything, nope, you get a gold medal, even if you arrive last What's even the point?

I don't know, there's no real incentive, no real progression anymore, no challenge, it's very strange.
It's just cool to drive around for a bit and see nice landscapes, but it doesn't feel like a proper game anymore.

 

[AGRacing]

Excellent. Knock off the excessive tour guide yapping in your ear, get a killer soundtrack in there and we have a racing game ladies and gentlemen.

 

[nial]

I don't like what I hear about this series' progression system, but Japan is interesting. Much better than Mexico, for sure.
Will probably get it at some point.

 

[Markio128]

Please lose the dialogue. It's cringe as fuck and spoils an otherwise great game.

I can only imagine the horror that would be cringe Japanese dialogue.

 

[Tobimacoss]

That's .. interesting.

Not that I don't like this. Love the Horizon games.

They're doing Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable all within the 6 month release window of the 25th Xbox Anniversary.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I've enjoyed nearly every entry. If Japan is the next location this is day 1 for me ( on PlayStation)

 

[Windom Earle]

Loved both FH4 and FH5 as someone who doesnt like racing/driving games, so yeah I'm in.

You are the target audience tbh.

 

[LordCBH]

That's .. interesting.

I assume Playground has multiple teams maybe? Either way I'm 100% in for more Horizon.

 

[skyfinch]

Why y'all always wanting Japan. Why no one ever mention Regina Saskatchewan?

 

[LordCBH]

I for one have always wanted the flat farmland of Nebraska lmao.

 

[Skifi28]

I hope this is also a soft reboot considering they've been making the exact same game on different maps for 3 entries now. The base concept continues to be great, but it could do with a little more direction in its structure and trimming the cringe. The map also needs to be larger, it's no fun driving the same streches of road over and over for 100+ hours as well as having a sea of icons overlapping with each other as there just isn't enough map real estate to accommodate them all properly.

 

[nemiroff]

I hope they use the physics from Forza Motorsport in it. 60hz is already dated.

Interestingly Forza Horizon already uses the same physics engine as Forza Motorsport. Obviously, it's specifically tuned to be more forgiving and suited for the open-world tracks and terrain. To your point; It would of course be near impossible to use the same simulator configuration as FM in the open world terrain, but it would be nice if we could "optionally" turn on the FM physics for tarmac racing.

Can't wait.
