There is always Forza 7.

I'm just happy they didn't have to compromise the resolution or framerate.

I concur with sentiment about res and framerate. Knowing that its going to be "Rock Solid 60fps" like F5 makes it a true sim race to me. Project Cars looks good with its weather/tod but that framerate is a no no for a sim in my book.

I own most sim racers out there and I feel that they all bring something to the table that all deserve to be owned. It's silly that people fight over favorites when they are all there to be enjoyed for what they offer.

 

[Shaneus]

What videos are there on YT that have some direct feed footage? Or at least, the most footage?

I agree. I'm a fan of racing games, not a hardware platform or a franchise. And when I criticise a franchise it's because I want it to be better. Forza has been on a very good run, so I've criticised GT which I feel has had a week run. But I want both to be excellent.

Any chance we might get some B-Roll on Xbox Wire?

I think that's the plan.

EDIT- ok I couldn't do that to you guys, i'll leave the kittens though:

Can't wait for the usual shitfest over Forza direct feed content.

Forza Horizon 2 weather? same rain animations on the windscreen and hood of the cars.

Droplets are actually simulated on the windshield, unlike Horizon 2.

 

[stew]

Do we know if we can race during night while it's raining?

 

[SarBear]

Well...ultimate edition pre ordered.....


I need to know about the community and how it's been completely revamped away from that horrid system in Forza 5. And.....more mustang news.

 

[Shaneus]

Oh god, please don't let there be stupid pre-order exclusives (liveries are OK, entire cars are not). Or content locked away behind "LE"s.

Given I don't have a One, I won't exactly be in a position to justify preordering the game. So if I miss content, I'll be bummed.

 

[op_ivy]

Rio looks more varied then most tracks. Any chance its a fairly epic lap? Anyone have an idea of a typical lap time?

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

That early access is cool. I hate Tuesday launches. This sets up an awesome weekend.

 

[chadskin]

Not sure if it has been posted yet but here's some gameplay footage: https://youtu.be/K9_jHalh4JM?t=114

edit: Ah, I see it has, dammit.

 

[Black_Stride]

Forza Horizon 2 weather? same rain animations on the windscreen and hood of the cars.

The droplets on the windscreen are actually reacting to the cars speed.
The hood cam seems to still have the static water droplets though.

Already hyped for this.
Give it to me now!!!

 

[BeforeU]

Are we going to gave day/night cycle racing? or its either day, or night

 

[shinnn]

No day/night cycle or dynamic rain. Its static, and not all tracks will have night or rain. Also no footage of night rain so far.

 

[RoKKeR]

I mean I'm there day one. Don't need to hear much more.

 

[Klocker]

They're based off driver stints, according to Dan G. 1-2 hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-RUYmxFT_w

Needs to be requoted a lot of info from Dan here

 

[Hilti92]

How many of you who are getting this buy racing wheels as well? I loved Forza 2 but then I got my actual license and haven't really enjoyed playing with a controller since. I wonder how much more enjoyable these games are with wheels..

There a lot of fun with a wheel. Get shifter and clutch for like 3x more enjoyments.

The first Rio de Janeiro one makes an excellent background for PC and Xbox One.

@T10, Helios:
You guys delivered. Weather, time of day, new surfaces, puddle physics, 1080p, 60fps, >450 cars in incredible detail, grid of 24, new tracks, Rio... You guys are amazing! Great year for Xbox.

 

[flashmouth]

Can't believe it's already out in September! From Nov 2013 to Sep 2015, 10 new tracks, 200 to 450 cars fully modeled, selected weather and night racing, can't wait!

A bit too much negativity in here for my taste. I wanted it to be fully dynamic, too, but will it really matter ones the game is out? Nah. But this just shows how high they set the standards every time, people just expect them to.

 

[erale]

Are we getting a demo before the release? Can't wait to play

Also @Helios, have you guys worked on the wheel support/ffb? Just got my Thrustmaster TX last week and to be honest it feels somewhat weird in Forza 5. Especially around the center it's kind of week. And with the default sensitivity of the wheel the game is pretty much unplayable. With a proper sensitivity the wheel feels even weaker around the center.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Forza Horizon 2 weather? same rain animations on the windscreen and hood of the cars.

Physics based rain drop simulation is in, which make it way more dynamic than Horizon 2.

 

[Chucke1992]

By the way....

Imagine the next horizon with technologies they could use from Forza 6 with their own adjustments. Without need of 60 fps cap they can do a lot

 

[shinnn]

B-roll is up. Gamersyde should upload soon. Looks like the FM5 time trial AA (4xAA?).

screengrabs:

 

[vanty]

So people's response to others saying it seems like the average race being 5 minutes long isn't changing is that there are endurance races now? That doesn't do anything to stop 90% of career mode being 2-4 lap races where you need to pass half the field in the first few turns to have any chance of winning.

Can you link the broll in the mean time?

 

[danowat]

Holy shit it looks good, I can see what they mean by "3D puddles" now.

Watched a direct feed video of someone driving on Brands Hatch, and there was a huge puddle that had taken up half the road at the bottom of paddock bend, don't think I've ever seen "flood puddles" like that before in any racing game.

If FM can get the "racing experience" down, then it could surpass PCars.......

Man i love TURN10

Better filter by "E3 2015" and the game.

 

[eso76]

ahh, yes.
Satisfied with the IQ, should look just fine on my tv

NOTE: Videos are under VIDEOS and NOT B-roll.

 

[golem]

Damn Rio looks pretty spectacular!

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Someone else mentioned it before but where are the dry tracks left by the tyres? Guess they have time to sort that out.

 

[flashmouth]

Wonder what other "new" tracks they got in der sleeves, need some more fantasy tracks to return.

 

[justsomeguy]

Those graphics and that level of sim at 1080p60 - I'm so impressed.

And... were those 3d people... ?

I've always said if you can't tell while racing, then it doesn't matter.

Image quality looks to be improved over 5.

Wasn't going to get this but with the Elite controller, I may just have to.

 

[Blimblim]

We don't put broll up like that, that's not what you are supposed to do with these. Also they are 29.97 fps, which proves once again that MS has absolutely no idea how to promote their games.

 

[leeh]

IQ looks a ton better. I wish they showed more of FM6 during the conference, main attraction for me.

Congrats Turn 10, it looks amazing.

 

[Seanspeed]

From the screenshots, it does look like it. From the gameplay vid, it's not quite as obvious. Looked a lot like FM5 but with weather and nighttime to me. Which isn't a terrible thing, depending on how much you cared about those things.

I was most impressed with the behaviour of the cars through patches of water. I've always said that wet weather is overrated in racing games because it's never done properly, but this is a nice step in the right direction. Kudos.

I know what you mean. It still has the Forza look. There's definately a lot more going on though, and the environments look a lot better.
