Relaxed, General Forza 6 Chat

[BlazeTheCat05]

Sorry if I missed this, but is it correct that none of the new DLC cars are in any of the game's divisions? Seems odd given the X6M, Camaro and Focus RS would all fit in one easily.

Also, with the 641 now in, the ultimate question is; 80s-90s Grand Prix when?!

The Camaro is in the Modern Sports Legends division, I think the Focus is in Hot Hatchbacks, and I think the X6M is in Sport Utility Juggernauts. Could be wrong. Gimme a few minutes and I can check that for you.

Edit:
2017 Focus RS is in Ultimate SpoComs.
2015 BMW X6 M is in Sport Utility Juggernauts.
2016 Chevy Camaro SS is in Ultimate Sport Machines

 

[C-ZETA]

That's what I suspected. Hot Hatchbacks is for slightly warmer stuff and Modern Sports Legends is typically for the older sports cars.

In any case, KudosPrime hasn't listed them yet so I wouldn't have known. But it means I have a reason to get the Focus RS and, unfortunately, the X6M. It's a disgusting car in real life but if it can help me win one of the two SUV volumes I haven't done yet I'll use it.

Why, oh why aren't the cars sortable by division in the garage?

If I had a wish for the next game (wrong thread I know) it'd be for more ways to sort the leaderboard data and organize existing cars. Multi garages would do it or a sort.by championship option as you describe.

Someone may have just discovered something pretty big regarding the next big Forza 6 DLC and posted it in the Forza Showrooms on Facebook.

The theme? NASCARS.

New cars and a new track and a new Career to boot.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Interesting.

Arent they still contract tied with...... Ah you know which though.

I wouldn't know if I'm honest, unless it's like what happened with the Porsche expansion.

But given how it's been noticed, I reckon one Game employee just let the cat out a little too early.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Aww yes. Can't wait for NASCAR.

 

[Overdrive003]

24 Nascar cars and Homestead Miami? Awesome! I'm not a huge Nascar fan, but this seems interesting. For £15.99 (I imagine it'll sell in the states for $20), that seems like a good price for the expansion. Hopefully they'll be able to do the cars justice.

 

[nick98]

Well, damn. Another expansion, and this time it's around everyone's favorite driving-in-circles competition! (pls don't kill me, NASCAR fans)
Personally I would have preferred an IMSA GTO/USCC-themed expansion, but still, it's nice to see NASCAR back! Jeff Gordon's Chevy SS, here I come!

 

[bremics]

Homestead Miami Speedway?

Not touching that DLC. What a waste of a track IMHO, **** ovals man.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

I wonder if they'll have all 3 series; the Sprint, Xfinity, and Camping World Truck series. Would be nice. Will definitely pick this pack up for sure.

You're welcome to download your free copy of Forza 6: Apex along with everyone else. What's the problem?

Well, obviously I take a different view of the world, as we are all entitled to apparently.

Myself I do no use a gaming PC, I use an XBox One... so Apex is precisely of no use to me... that's the issue. Offering something free to an existing customer who has no use for it is an insult imo

People in general have always confused me, when one has owned companies which have a service aspect and dealt with the public which I have all my working life, then one of the major difficulties is to get the silent majority to complain when they do not like something. They vote with their wallets instead.

Supine sycophants are 10 a penny and really of no use to anyone because one cannot improve ones service and therefore profits without people saying "Don't like that'... silence is very definitely not acquiescence. It is also a bare reality of life that "....the mice in meetings are the rats outside". People who keep agreeing and smiling, they need watching. It is also a well proven facet of business that "...you have to have some grit in the shell to make a pearl"

Personally in my business experience I very much like the people who say "That's no good, I don't like that" It is much like a car which is broken and does not run, that is relatively easy to fix. But an intermittent fault is a real pain. Not knowing what you are doing is upsetting some or many your clients is metaphorically speaking an intermittent fault

With that in mind a USP of Forza 6 on release was "It is only available on XBox One'... whilst Apex is not a full Forza 6 and whilst in the strict letter of the law there is no infringement of that marketing promise, it is very definitely blurring the lines of the spirit of the law; there is a certain under handedness about that imo.

That said in wholly generalised terms there are many things I do not understand about 'people' and an unfortunate aspect of the internet is that we all comes across a myriad of characters that one would not converse with at all in real life.

The upshot of that is, experientially, very many people become confused as to what is actually being said.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Homestead has an infield course too, you know.

Thanks for bringing this up, @Vic Reign93, because that FB group is closed to regular viewers. It's up on the front page now. Maybe Turn 10 will say something soon?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Car spotting? Will it be similar to Forza Horizon?

HOLY ****, I NEED AN XB1 JUST FOR THIS NOW

 

[Drave]

HOLY ****, I NEED AN XB1 JUST FOR THIS NOW

XBox One storage is an issue I think for sure, I really only have Forza 6, Dirt Rally, SLRE and COD Ghosts on mine and it is pushing toward 70% full... time to buy an USB 3 expansion memory it appears.

That said, NASCAR would be a very welcome addition

 

[PJTierney]

The only thing I care about in all of that is the "new display elements for improved car spotting".

• Is that a NASCAR-only feature.
• Will it be available to all users.
• Will it be turned on by default.
• Will it be used in regular Hoppers.
  

I stopped playing Forza Motorsport 6 a month ago as I was finally fed up of all the Lap 1 crashes (yes, not all of them are intentional). Anything that will help make racing cleaner is appreciated, as right now they're a warzone.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

The all-new NASCAR World Tour Career mode takes you on a unique journey as you race NASCAR stock cars against opponents from a huge variety of motorsport leagues.

I wonder what this entails.

Yeah, I'm very curious about this too. Though, really, I don't see it helping the T1 carnage online any.

I remember having a lot of fun racing the NASCAR vehicles everywhere other than ovals in GT5, so this could be fun. Doubly so if they include the Xfinity series cars, and especially the trucks.

 

[L8 Apex]

I wouldn't mind seeing a few vintage Cup cars thrown in the mix, e.g. '80s Thunderbird and Monte Carlo Aerocoupe, '70s Cutlass and Cougar, '69 Torino Talladega and Charger Daytona...

I think it's likely to just be the Sprint Cup.

This would be cool, especially if they had vintage liveries, but I guess people would make them. The old #3 wrangler Earnhardt cars from the 80's etc.

I'm not a huge NASCAR fan anymore, I used to watch it a lot as a kid and growing up, but the sport has turned to 🤬 in the last ten years. This will still be pretty cool though, especially racing the NASCAR cars on all the other tracks. Running a full field of 24 at night at Daytona I'm sure is going to be a lot of fun as well. The only thing is....

Maybe since they are adding NASCAR they will give us the option to do more than 50 laps? That would make this entire operation a whole lot cooler.

 

[Tornado]

This pack would be interesting if it was structured like the Porsche pack, going through a rough history of the sport with famous cars on top of one of each brand from the current season. But two dozen Sprint Cup cars from the same season or so wasn't something I could give two craps about when GT5 did it for free back when I still paid decent attention to NASCAR. And since Forza has a livery editor, it seems particularly pointless to have two dozen cars from a spec series.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Featuring 24 new cars from the 2016 season,

...says it plain and simple, but doesn't specify Sprint Cup alone does it? Hopefully it isn't.

Anyway, it may be an oval but they're all different. Onboard



Sweeping. Less full-throttle mashing.

 

[ALAN ULTIMATE]

Hmmmm.

Would've liked a few classic nascars thrown in for good measure!

 

[MagpieRacer]

Car spotting? Will it be similar to Forza Horizon?

Umm, no. To put it simply.

Spotting opponents close to your position which is vital in the close quarters racing.

 

[bremics]

Hmm... Response seems unusually positive on FM official forums, seems like I'm the only one who isn't rather unhappy by this, which surprises me condersidering this will be the first DLC I won't buy since I started playing (FM3).

+Edit
What is the third oval in the game right now, apparently this will make four?

Daytona, Indianapolis and...?

 

[VXR]

It couldn't be a bigger meh from me, personally. I've no interest in Nascar - not because of the short-sighted digs about only turning left - but the fact that I'm not into formula cars outside of F1 and there's so much more they could've included rather than focus on one series for an expansion.
