If pcars had a stable frame rate I'd get it.. But it doesn't,so il never play it.

You are definitely missing out then, no offense but I'll never understand people who are that picky about frame rate.
Maybe il own a good enough PC one day to really get the most out the pcars engine..but on XB1 it's forza all day.
I'm massively impressed with forza 6 after spending pretty much the whole weekend on it,I have a real sense of the work that's gone into it.. I carnt help but just smile sometimes,that's the sign of a great game.

So I decided to get the game. It's what I expected. Polished, plays well with the controller, decent physics, good graphics and sound, but gameplay offline is stuck in the last decade. Career mode is even worse than FM5, which was already pretty bad. No qualifying, no full race weekends, just 2-4 lap races where you have to deliberately dumb down AI, because if you don't finish in top 3, you lose, so you need to make AI slower than you, since there are not enough laps to catch up if you make a mistake. Also graphics are good, but again after dynamic weather in pCARS it's just not the same.
Haven't tried online yet, but I hope at least there is a qualifying session and there is Join in Progress. If that's not there, then all that's left is the hot lapping, which the game does pretty well. Also you can take pretty screenshots and paint cars

Hi, Thanks for the video
Pcars looks great I do not like the lighting in Forza6. Interior of Pcars is the best I have seen in racing game so obviously it will much better in cockpit view. Hopefully you will also do some of those.
It is in your mind. Just play the games without thinking about fps. Your eyes, sense will adjust accordingly. It is not like jerky or unplayable. Only under extreme condition and very few places. Obviously t if the game is not optimized and controls are not good before they patch in. It is better to wait before they can improve and prices go down

Im not very far into FM6, but I have had races up to 7 laps in single player so far. Endurance racing, as stated by @SlipZtrEm already (which people seem to be ignoring), is back in FM6. Plus in free play and in a custom multiplayer room, you can set the race length up to 50 laps if you so choose.

They are not in every series, and there are some races that are only 3 laps. But I have only done 2 series so far, and I have had, as I said, up to 7 laps so far. The customization that people desire however, is available in a custom lobby. But you need to have Xbox live gold for that. You can have up to 50 laps in free run however, but the other options are limited.

Yeah, I tried online last night. Again, same story as with career - no qualifying, random (I think?) grid placement by default and 2-3 lap races. I see that you can set up custom lobbies, but aren't those only for you and your friends? Is there a way to create a custom public lobby? If that was the case, at least I could increase the lap count, but still no qualifying is a big miss.
I know there are endurance races in career, still that's just one series with only specific cars. I guess something's better than nothing. I don't see why they don't add an option to increase lap count in other series. Default can still be 3 laps. Maybe by FM7 they add that and qualifying. Then the game could really shine.

I loved FM4, I've been following FM6 since it was announced, it seems to be a good game but so far I haven't seen anything that justifies buying a X1 just to play FM6.
I've been playing PCars & F1 2015 regularly on PS4, FM6 not having qualifying and dynamic weather on every track are considerable downsides imo. Also, I really enjoyed the way career events were setup in FM4's event list, I had freedom to play career events in whatever order I wanted, FM6's linear career mode seems like a step back imo.

In offline free play races can you choose the car for each AI opponent? Or an option for all AI opponents to use the same car the player is using?

I don't think Project Cars is as good as advertised. The classes are terrible, the car list is way to small, the options are far and few in between and the game isn't optimized at all.

I've had the game since launch and have still hardly driven any cars, 450 would be insane! The physics are so good it makes you find a car you like and you'll just drive it for days and days until you want to start tuning another then rinse and repeat. Yes there are definitely issues, but the sheer joy of driving in pCARS is like no game I've played before.

As far as the content goes, what you say can only be true if they advertised content that they didn't deliver at launch, as promised. Since the car list was known before launch, it is as good as advertised in that regard. And the game is also optimized everywhere as far as I know. Perhaps you meant is full of bugs and glitches which is not the same thing as optimized. 1080p/60fps, 45 cars on track and full weather tells you it's optimized.

Sometimes I wonder whether that's what it comes down to. I only have Project Cars for the Xbox One. I've hardly played it. Whenever I play it I just can't get into it (and things go wrong). I honestly don't understand why people think it's so good. Unless, of course, they're all playing the PC version, or at least not the Xbox One version?

It's pretty solid now on PS4 framerate wise, I'd say. Replays a bit wobbly and trackside detail kinda flat in order to (try to) achieve 60fps though.
Have only played with a wheel though and they say Forza is designed for pad users so I'd think it's easier to pick up and play than pCARS.

At least the Forza 6 version of Spa doesn't have those bollards on the insides of all the corners.
I'd definitely be getting FM6 if I had an Xbox One, which I don't. Based on my experiences with FM3 and 4 I'd be very surprised if the career mode surpassed that of PC.

The physics are identical on all versions of the game, the only difference is in graphics and it takes a decent pc to exceed the console versions of the game. I'd guess the pc version probably runs better overall, but bugs aside, the experience should be the same. Is it the bugs that turn you off the game or the gameplay itself?

In my case it's the badly fluctuating frame rate on Xbone that makes it unplayable for me. The game seems to slow down and lurch forward repeatedly. I also have the PC version which has none of these issues and is a lot more playable (although it appears to be missing the comparative lap timer which was so useful for me on XB1). But it's been gathering dust now that I'm getting stuck into Forza 6's career.
I'm playing PCars on PS4, best racing experience one can get on console imo. The game runs pretty well for me although the fan makes a lot of noise when I do races in the wet against a full grid (sounds like a jet taking off).
I do feel bad for X1 players, though, X1 version is the worse of the 3, no wonder people who've only played the X1 version dislike the game.

There is one thing forza does well in terms of gameplay - the rivals mode. While the career and multiplayer races are going to get boring pretty quickly, this mode will keep me busy for a while.

What you notice is that both FM and GT are gradually turning into a mainstream 'car' games, instead of a racing game. Probably because it sells better with the general public. The simulation of real life racing takes second or third plan in their design direction as long as there are lots of cars and pretty graphics.

Funny thing is - the intro trailer in Forza 6 is all about how racing is in our blood and it sets you up for a certain expectations about the game, but then racing is arguably the weakest part of the FM6 package.
