Why is that silly? Should I be banging on Sony's door to port GT to another platform so I don't have to buy their console to play their exclusive franchise? Would Sony be silly enough to offer it on PC at the risk of losing console sales? I doubt it.

I'm not bitter I had to buy an Xbox One to play Forza.

Apex is not even close to the Forza you own for your console, T10 is not giving away Forza, it's just a preview. Down the road, if T10 develops a full version of Forza for the PC then I'm sure it won't be free. The more copies of Forza T10 can sell, PC and console, the better for everyone. Some will prefer it on PC, some on console.
I have an X1 but in hindsight I shouldn't have purchased just for FM 6 like I did. I only play racing sims so the PC is a better fit for me, I won't buy another console. If T10 can reach the PC only crowd then sales, where PC or console, helps everyone.

For a Drag Car, even with a terrible handling, the Bone Shaker PI is seriously low. I expect to be arround 600.

Its even lower than a goddamn BMW X6 M stock.
 
Wow, so that explains what Ferrari F1 car I saw at one of the museums I visited when I was in Manhattan a few years ago.

If these "PC viewpoints" exist and can be generalized to any multi-platform community, then I don't think you need to worry about their influence on Forza. Turn 10 clearly have their own way of making games.

Apex only offers a fraction of what you paid for with the console version. I'm sure PC players will envy the content offered in the Xbox One version when they get to try the game.

Well, maybe Turn 10 wants to convince them that Forza Motorsport isn't that bad? Giving them a free sample seems like a good investment in altering that misconception.

Well, thank you for that... though I am confused by something.... I have checked my receipts for my XBox 360 and XBox One and for my copies of Forza 2,3,4,5 & 6... plus all the downloads. Imagine my utter amazement to find that you didn't buy any of them... I did

Taking that fact into account, please do understand my position, which is that when you buy all my gaming equipment and games, then you can feel free to tell me my opinion and what to think... but until then I'd advise you to refrain from doing so.

Did I say I had seen these 'PC attitudes' were here on this forum? No, I did not. As for Apex I care less if it is a single car in a car park up on bricks or a full game... I paid for my Forza, so I repeat...where is my freebie?

Did I say I thought that Forza was bad? No. I think Forza 6 is simply brilliant, I have no idea why anyone has any problem with it. If they do, great, they are entitled to their opinion.

With that said I however personally do not have time for the somewhat puerile fan boy activities beloved of so many in .... " the amazing world that is gaming today...." as Mrs Miggins would have put it

But mostly mate... very pretty please, do not tell people what to think. There's a good chap.
 
Just found this over at Forza Central bounty car maybe Ford Escort RS1600!

Holy cow, I had to go look back at pictures of my escort to make sure it's not the same car. Neat, I didn't think turn 10 would model anymore Mk1 Escorts after the Fast & Furious one. If it's a bounty car, I'll be prepared for whatever event I need to do to get it.

Your findings are wrong if "you" is supposed to be me. Anyway, I fail to see the relevance of the Xbox 360 and older games in this context. I'm not even sure what relevance the Xbox One has until Turn 10 releases identical games on console and PC.

I didn't tell you what to think. The "don't worry" part was to emphasize my point that Turn 10 usually aren't guided by opinions other than their own.

I didn't imply that you had seen some attitude here. Even if I did, I don't see what difference it would make to the point at hand.

I didn't imply something along those lines. I asked you a question relating to what you said about some PC players and their opinion on Forza.

But mostly mate... very pretty please, do not tell people what to think. There's a good chap.

I never told anyone what to think. On the other hand, you've now given me advice and told me what to do. Know what? I can make my own calls and decisions.

In this era of the bug ridden messes that are numerous multi-platform releases, I'm actually in preference for studios only having one platform to work on. Forza has niggling issues, but it's nothing like as messed up as PCars Xbox One release or the last Batman game on PC.

Multi platform is not the reason for buggy games. Look at dirt rally. Like Forza the developers were caring and smart enough to release a working game as opposed to one that needs month after month of patch fixes. You also seem to forget that we have had two decades of multi platform games, but not two decades of torment over how every multi platform game is crippled with bugs, because they weren't. Multi platform is not at fault.

I was planning on getting D.Rally on the XB-One. Is it generally buggy?

I haven't encountered any problems myself. Its performance is impressive, runs at 60fps and 1080p but resolution is dynamic, meaning it'll drop to 900p under heavy load. It's an elegant solution if you ask me, keeps the frame rate locked so that means no screen tearing (practically the whole time it seems) and if resolution drops you hardly notice it.

And it's an RS1600! I want this right now. Like immediately right now.

I've always wondered why it wasn't in the game to begin with. It should have been easy to add next to the F&F version. Also, it would have been perfect in the new car pack instead of one of the toy cars. Hot Wheels may see things differently though.

Hopefully as a minor bit part and not as the star. :lol:

Haha yeah, hopefully. I admit that I wiped out a few times on Rio thanks to the tire barriers being knocked over (was driving a Formula Mazda. 1,200lbs + 75lb tire + colliding with said tire at around 120mph = wipeout). Thankfully, he was way too far ahead. :P
 
So as expected, the HW Mustang is actually quite a serious contender on handling-oriented tracks in the S hopper. Throwing everything at it, it has very comparable stats to the Saleen I normally use (6.6 handling, 9.0 accel). Won a few races, so I'd recommend it. Biggest drawback is the five-speed, but that's a minor issue. That built-in aero provides a ton of downforce if you so choose.

It also sounds awesome. :D
 
Well, apparently; you can race against the Escort Mk1 RS1600 in a private lobby against AI. I'm going to do that now with the mk3 Focus RS, but I'm giving them a head start.

EDIT: It's like those "1-lap magic" missions from Gran Turismo 4.

If you can race against the Escort RS1600 in a private hopper, then surely it's not too far off from being accessible by the player, right? They did that with the Huracan ST as well, and it was gifted out within the month. Hopefully that's the case.
Edit: Just shared a replay of me driving the Escort RS1600 F&F Edition while chasing down the Escort RS1600 in a 1-lap magic styled race on Nurburgring Nordscheife. I messed up once, but managed to catch the Escort on the final straight. Gave him a 6,000 feet head start. Drivatar was set to unbeatable difficulty. Search 'RS1600 vs RS1600' on Forza TV if you're interested.

Is the vehicle in S-class in stock trim?
