Forza 6 News Incoming?

[88FoxBodyFan]

Cool pic 👍 I'm a bit behind the times at the moment, are all those sporty Fords going to be in FM6?

Yes.

We know the R is coming, I meant do you think the normal 350 will be there too.

I didn't know it was. If so, I'm not going to be surprised if it isn't. The regular Mustang 5.0 already made its debut in FM4 as DLC. Can't see T10 including 3 models of the current gen.

 

[HuskyGT]

FINALLY!! After months and months of waiting and going through other worthless titles; a car game that's actually worth it! Can't wait for September. Guess that means no PS4 for me any time soon!

I hope the car list has all the goodies from FM4.

 

[05XR8]

yep, ill too be getting that XBONE

 

[Eunosthedeer]

As someone who lives only 20 minutes away from the track.

It makes me very happy indeed to see Brands Hatch in Forza

Hello Microsoft?

1 Euro equals 1.13 US Dollar

At least it should be at the same price

110 bucks for a bloody game... milking the cow eh.

A game and a :censored:load of cars... also that early access sounds pretty tempting...

 

[Jose Mendonca]

10 days early access for the Ultimate edition
Also the Ultimate gives 3 DLC packs for Horizon 2.

Even though it hasn't dynamic weather, I found the weather on Brands quite awesome looking 👍

I liked the big puddle as well

I read somewhere they had plenty of help from Playground. Does anyone know in which part they where involved?

And no stinking standards!!!

 

[GranTurismo guy]

And no stinking standards!!!

Forza has never had standards

 

[RacerPaul]

Well said. Go tell them in the GT section, that's always a hoot

 

[05XR8]

*rubs hands* maaaannnn, im gonna love it back here in Forzaland.

 

[Fat Tyre]

Forza has never had standards

Which is why I switched series

I am guessing the weather effects since they worked so well in Horizon 2.

Same here. 👍

Oh it has standards, high standards for quality that is.

On a sidenote, with BC coming to Xbone now we'll be able to have the full Forza collection aside from FM1 playable on a single console.

How many gigs would all three take on the XB1?

Less than Forza 5 lol.

Indeed. I'll be grabbing 2 and 3. I got 4 pre-owned when I bought my 360. 2 and 3'll be cheap as chips pre-owned I should think

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Also the Ultimate gives 3 DLC packs for Horizon 2.

I realize why they couldn't, but I wish they would've announced that earlier, if only by a few weeks. I'm probably going to get the Ultimate, but as someone who just bought those FH2 packs, I feel a little ripped off. Ho-hum.

 

[SimTourist]

Brian Ekberg confirmed there are no simultaneous rain/night races.

So night or rain but not together?

Yup.

You don't optimize a 4 years graphical engine to run on the edge at 1080/60 in a closed hardware to later patch it with some extra non planned features that would require tons of extra processing over that first layer of already maxed graphics. Simply put you can't load the double of boxes in an already full loaded container, but you can repack all the items in the boxes to fit smartly inside the same container. But that would require to pack all the single items from the start again, it's slower, requires more time and more skills.

They needed 4 years to pack proudly all the boxes in that limited space, you are asking them to put the double of boxes in the same container in just half of the time. Probably some of the items will arrive broken or could not be shipped at time with the rest.

I'm sorry but that's what they do EVERY console generation, every game. That's what they did transitioning from 2 to 3 to 4. Were not dealing with physical space here. Were dealing with, what is essentially, a complex optical illusion. It's about finding limitations and figuring out how to work around them. That takes time and they never stop figuring stuff out. They might run in to one bottleneck that does cost them way more rendering budget. But for the next one find a good work around that saves them 30% of their rendering budget. Being such a new system it wouldn't surprise me if they found enough things to double their performance and then some.

Remember, they are not just optimizing the game engine, but also their use of that engine. They then go back and optimize the game engine again and the cycle continues.


This is their second time around and they will probably do a whole lot better. Yet, they will see a lot of different paths and code they could have took/used to make things run and look a whole lot better. This never ends.

That's a bummer,

Forza 5 already takes about 40 Gigabytes now with about ten more tracks and a lot more cars I hope FM6 doesn't take 60 or more. I think I only have about 100 left on my xb1.

It's time to get an external HDD. The games are getting supermassive these days. FM6 will easily take 60 or more.

 

[Jose Mendonca]

Well, FM5 and FH2 were already moved to the external hard drive to make room for FH6, so... bring it on
