Xbox Japan: "Forza 6 includes weather, night racing, 450 cars"

[05XR8]

I remember Forza having most cars from ALMS and Speedvision World Challege GT. With GTI/GT2, V8s it expanded a bit. BTCC is a great surprise. However, there doesn't appear to be a push to get Super GT in the game or current DTM machines as extra headline championships. Sure, we'll see what happens next week but, it is a bit odd.

DTM license is currently tied up with Racerooom/S3S, & according to Slightly Mad Studios, even they've had to omit some planned DTM cars because of how strict it is. So, Turn10 may miss out on them.

@McLaren
Lets hope Turn10 can make an agreement with Raceroom on a DTM sublicense. Similar to the agreement with EA regarding Porsche.

Any word on Super GT? I can think of only the Calsonic Skyline GT500 in Forza. I think I haven't bothered to use it because there weren't enough cars.

 

[Speedster911]

All I can say is holy moly! The car overall roster's turning out to be very appetizing.

Isn't it unusual that there haven't been more trailers and a greater variety of in-game footage this close to the release date?

I wish I knew. I feel like it may be related to the exclusion of Japanese tracks, as weird as it sounds.

The 1-week-early players that buy the ultimate edition will satisfy all your needs before release

So the new California and XKR?

I guess this also confirms no RUF? Bizarre that they would leave out the Forzavista models that took "6 months" to make for Forza 5. If any of the missing cars from FM5 show up as DLC that's not free, I'll lose my ****.

 

[HAL20XX]

I believe every car announced today is new to the FM series, not just the 2 you called out.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

The two he called out possibly suggests a desire for new road cars over race cars, Fm6 has proven very race car biased for new additions. But that's good IMO because the one thing fm5 needed more of was race cars.

I prefer road cars yeah haha.

I don't spend much time above S-class unless I'm grinding for XP/credits, so I don't use them much.

Which was why I enjoyed the Formula-E car in FM5 so much.

Forza 6 demo or MGSV... Luxury problems. 👍

Why not both? The Forza 6 demo is free so there's no reason not to get both unless bandwidth is an issue.

The issue is rather what to play. I tend to focus on one game at a time.

Forza 6. Do it.

About the incentive to have the Ford GT gifted, is it harder to afford cars in the recent Forza games than it is in GT6?

I'm of two minds with that. If the demo is huge, I'd rather save my bandwidth for the full game, since they'll both be in September. Plus, I can't imagine the GT will be more than 350,000 credits, and with 25 million to start, it'll hardly make a dent.

On the other hand, depending on what the demo contains, I wouldn't mind getting a peak. If it's more or less what was shown at X15, I can wait.

Not nearly as much of a grind-fest, no.

Not at all especially when you consider the Forza rewards also pay out quite well on a regular basis the more you play. Money has always been fairly easy to obtain in the Forza series. Especially if you you turn OFF the assists. You can even just go in and play against bots and make pretty good money.

 

[Fat Tyre]

Oh man that Lotus 77 has some sweet fat tyres, can't wait to drive it!

 

[GranTurismo guy]

Love the way everyone's adding lotus f1 cars, but they never choose the same ones.

Gt6 includes 97. pcars includes 98.

Pcars includes 78. Forza includes 77

 

[McLaren]

They expect a demo to hold me over till release? After the Procar announced, I'm ready to dive into this game.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

I'm ready to dive into this game.

take an oxygen tank, you'll be in for a while
