Very true, FM6 should have been named FM5.1 because that's all there is. if the new title will just feel like it's FM5.2 with rallycross added then I'm not even interested.Horizon 3 has received well deserved praise from all quarters and was an amazing game.
So good in fact that Forza Motorsport is now under pressure to catch onto the trail that horizon is forging. Another 'wash and repeat' game from Turn 10 could spell troubles in the future. There are just too many games now that offer more.
Award seems a little dodgy if you ask me.
I'm not disagreeing with you at all, but in comparison, Playground Games definitely has a longer leash, so to speak, to expand the Horizon world upon where as Turn10 is literally confined to a circuit for most of the game's core.Horizon 3 has received well deserved praise from all quarters and was an amazing game.

What do you think T10 could do to switch up the Motorsport franchise out of curiosity?
Simple physics? Haha, good one. They're not simple at all.
What do you mean freeplay does not have enough options to tailor a race?Pros-
Insane number and variety of cars
Fun door-to-door racing
Endurance is back!
Free Play is 50 laps offline
Smooth menu navigation
Windscreen rain and dirt effects
Great garage mode to show off the cars and graphics
Cons-
Career is a long, boring and pointless grind
No qualifying or race weekend
Simple physics, track and tire temperature
Average track feedback
Lack of dynamic weather
Pre-baked lighting on tracks
Free play does not have enough options to tailor a race
Game should focus on license racing and not mixed events
Audio is for the most part lame. Still not up to Forza 4 heights
Little innovation in the series since Forza 3
It is a shame that the game has so many many things against it as I really do enjoy it, but there is no point juggling a few good balls when you leave the rest lying on the floor. Perhaps they need a new engine as Turn 10 has now released the same game 4 times in a row and other games like Pcars2 will go flying past.

Yeah I'm not sure Horizon is an appropriate game for all those ideas.I would love to experience custom grids offline so we can really set up the conditions we like. Assetto Corsa and Pcars both lack this feature as well and it is the main feature I feel we need in sim racing.
It also annoyed me that v8 supercars are s class cars. That is crazy! Let us race a field with r class with a massive amount of proper power. Truck Racing fields would have been fun, instead of just have them ruin other people's racers.
Setting up custom championships with the those fields would also have been awesome.
I enjoy racing that has 1-2 hour practice, 45 min qualify and 15 lap racing. And a points championship that makes it worthwhile. Forza is too much based on quick racing for my liking.
But I guess this conversation is out of place in Horizon forum. Lol. Which, incidentally, I did like, and that was my original point.

It sounds like you're talking about FM6.
Horizon is what won the award, not FM6.
Ahh..wasn't paying enough attention.Yes, McLaren asked me what I would I would do to switch things up for Turn 10 so I replied things I did not like about FM6. Things went off track after that. lol.
My thoughts on Horizon are all positive. Any game that show innovation between editions gets my thumbs up. Horizon has grown from 1-3 and should get console racing game of the year.
