Boy so close now. Do you guys expect to see anything from Horizon 2 move over into FM6? Be great to see an improved weather system from Horizon 2 with the same dynamic weather and night day cycle.

Just driving around now and its kinda nuts how many civilians and crowds there are for Horizon 2. I don't see why that couldn't be placed into FM6 with the tracks being more smaller than the open world.

I hope destruction/damage of the cars is improved. It doesn't seem to have changed much from FM2.

No Porsche at launch. Xbox wire article for the horizon expansion said it was coming in 2016. Its obviously part of the deal with EA so this holiday the only new game with Porsche is Need for Speed.

Bummer if true.

Also makes little sense considering we have Porsche in horizon 2 now.

 

[nekkid]

It's strange. Over the years that Porsche deal has made me less interested in Porsches than interested in buying NFS games.

3.5hrs guys

 

[Broman1978]

Cant ....take...this.....anymore......must ......see...... Forza ....Motorsports....6

Horizon 2 is a old game, not in direct competition.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I'm so hyped for this. Give me FM6 and I'll be happy for months.

Yep. I stayed with the Xbox this gen primarily for forza and horizon. Great year for racing though with pcars, forza, and f1.

[1080] Pixels - short "px"

At least is not 1080pr.

As i expected that FGT guy will defend FM6 and DX12 and....what, 15% boost. Good? Good.

If they put 30+ cars on track. If it 16 cars, then it's not impressive bacause one racing game already did that on last-gen

Yeah! Other sim racers don't have great physics.

Putting preferences aside for one minute, does it really look like Conduit is shit stirring in this instance? What exactly is wrong with his posts here? The mere fact that he dared to respond at all?

^ @Nib, You can see why posters in this thread are tired of people stirring stuff up. These are all posts Conduit made in this thread. His posts are borderline trolling.

As far as the game goes, only a few hours left before we get to see it! Hopefully 3D puddles and dynamic time of day make an appearance.

I'm the same.

No Porsches then? Okay I'll drive these Lambos instead.

Most definitely part of their EA deal, I'm going to guess that NFS drops this fall and they don't want Forza 6 having Porsches at the same time.

We will have 450+ non-Porsches to hold us over until they are out, I think we'll be alright... lol.

Not long to go now, getting very excited!

Be ready for disappointment.

Really hoping for a more shift/pcars cockpit experience. Forza has always been to tame in this regard.

I wish I could post what he's been sending me via PM. This guy has serious superiority complex.

All right..I'm getting excited now.

C'mon Maple Valley..

They better have every Mustang ever made or else...

the problem with todays reveal is it will leave us wondering what the new 8/9 tracks are, except from Rio.

Maybe not me but SarBear probably would....if he hasn't already...

 

[FordGTGuy]

I would be happy if they would finally add the GT-40 MK IV.

Now that I think about it.... that homage of Xbox One controllers...

Pseudo confirm the Shelby Daytona Coupe, GT-40 MK II and GT-40 MK IV for Forza 6?

I certainly hope so. There is no way I could play this game if it did not have elements of the 30FPS racers in DC and FH2. Both those are just too graphically innovative for me to care about a bare bones skeleton of a sim. I played F5 quite a bit but there is no way I am going back to that IQ or general level of detail.

 

[deadstar72]

C'mon Maple Valley..

This is all I care about. All other tracks, new features etc are just gravy, I need my Maple Valley!

*Dan pulls off the ultimate troll by having all 450 base cars be different variations of the Ford mustang.*

LOL, Nib or Conduit? Either one wouldn't surprise me.

 

[op_ivy]

Yup. There are so many great tracks that have been dropped at one time or another. We better get some of the great real tracks like infineon and suzuka, but also the fantasy tracks like maple valley and Montserrat (exreeeeme!). Not to mention the epic tracks like Fuji, positano, and he'll, lets add the shipyards to this list.

Sadly, you could fill the track list with all awesome old favorites not leaving much room for new hotness. Hope we get some fantastic dlc, fm5 did pretty good in this regard.

It's like a Michael Bay movie trailer.

We all know that this is the best Forza commercial ever though:

Dear Mr Ford.
Why have you yet to respond to my request to force Mr Greenawalt to put more purple cobras in his latest game? Furthermore......

 

[FordGTGuy]

Honestly though, this is a Ford and Forza guys wet dream game right now, hopefully it turns out as one of the best Forza titles ever.

Epic voiceover work on both of those trailers!

Are you at E3 Helios or did they keep you in the dungeon at the studio?

 

[Outrun]

I am excited man. Are we going to get another 3 Forza Reward levels?

Haven't they been doing one level every new release?

Another three would be great.

I'm on website updating duties today at the office. We've got other guys like Brian Ekberg out at the event. Can't complain tbh, just spent the past 4 days at Le Mans!

P.S Thanks for the avatar, loving it

 

[TheKeyPit]

What do you think? When will they show Forza 6? In the middle of the conference or at the end? When did they show Forza games back then?

After whatever is first (the cod spot).

It's usually been call of duty, another game, then Forza. It's usually towards the start. Halo is ending the show without a doubt.

What if the COD spot actually is the COD spot?

LOL

Yeah, was a great few days. Sadly I had to leave an hour before the end of the race to catch my flight back, but I managed to watch the end of the race at the train station though!

So, Helios..uhmm...any chance you fuck something up, like updating the website before you're supposed to..i dun...

..HEY LOOK AT THE TIME, THE CONFERENCE IS OVER AND YOU HAVEN'T UPDATED FM.NET, CHRIST HELIOS YOU HAD ONE JOB FFS,
QUICK, DO THAT NOW, MAYBE NO ONE NOTICED YET

Dan and Brian are going to drive the Ford GT all the way back to Washington and punish Helios right now....

I'm thinking that this is what Helios is expressing right now:

Anyway... Helios... got any info on BADNED? I have bets that he is actually Dan...

Just saw this on Brian's twitter feed:

Apparently he was going barreling towards LA in a Prius going 90 11 hours ago lol.

Maybe a mod could interject, but I think maybe some of us could relax just a little bit, because the environment in this particular thread seems unusually antagonistic, twitchy and overtly defensive.

Anyway, the show is on in a few hours, we can finally get more concrete info and enjoy the new media. As I've said before, Forza 5 likely suffered from launch title syndrome, something that so many games do. I feel like this next release is going to be a big one, and the true evolutionary step for the franchise on this new hardware. So far the leaked feature additions seem to fall in line with that.

Hey guys, what happ... whoa, what have I done?

All I meant by my post was that included feature lists aren't really dependant on a console's power. It's not as simple as "console A is more powerful so game X on console B won't have feature Z because game Y on console A doesn't". I mean if we apply that logic retroactively then GT6 and FM5 doesn't work right? This sort of scenario is never questioned and it's just generally accepted that PD does magic with the hardware, yet in other cases the idea is simply dismissed because Evolution Studios apparently can't run their game at 60fps?

I wasn't so much claiming that FM does things that no other racer does on more powerful hardware, rather than there are games on more powerful hardware not doing things Turn 10 is. One thing that always comes to mind is things like customization and physical/mechanical damage modelling. Turn 10 has been doing this since back in FM1 on the OG Xbox. Gran Turismo on the other hand doesn't do this on a PlayStation 3. The 60fps stuff too... what other racers are actually 60fps all the time? Not just in their good moments. Always? I can't think of any, unless we add the PC as a candidate.

Boiling everything does to lists to say something can't be done is silly. As a list bulletpoint, the dynamic ToD and dynamic weather is equivalent across say GT6, FH2 and Driveclub. It's the implementation of those features that matter, so saying DC couldn't run at 60fps with them, so FM can't either is just stupid imo. But of course this all originated from typical AgentP BS, so that shouldn't be surprising.

A little under two hours now.

I genuinely laughed.

Even though I'm not a fan of the franchise I can't wait to see it at the conference. I'm loving all these news about racing sims on consoles (F6, pCars, Assetto Corsa, GT Sports).

Spoiler

But I'm still pissed at you, Logitech

(btw it's written Assetto with two Ts, guys)
