I'll have to trust you on that. I've only spent a limited time playing/watching FM5.

Really? I think the game looks great, but the enviroments somehow put me off, they just don't seem to fit. Maybe it's only Rio, I think it's mostly the colors that distract me, need more screens of different enviroments. Personally I don't care about stuff like that much, but since I can only look at a selection of screens for now, this just stands out to me.
I think the only great looking aspect of FM5 is the quality of the car models. From looking at the b-roll, there's massive views with smoke above mountains, more vegetation around the track with just a higher quality look. I spent a lot of time in FM5, looks like a good step.
I know what you mean about that, for me it just carries the cartoony look which Forza as always had. I'd download the b-roll and have a look, looks great in motion.

Wasn't that fussed until I watched the direct feed b-roll footage, looks very impressive.
The rain effects are superb, and the IQ overall is a huge improvement.

Not so good quality, but here is 10 gameplay videos (night, rain and Rio track) :

The last one is really more about colision & damages.

Smoke receives light/shadow.
Flying tires when you hit the barriers as seen in the trailer.
the downhill straight with the overview on the city looks sexy

I'm going through the digital download preorder, and apparently, the Premium and Ultimate editions also include something unannounced- a Fast and the Furious car pack.
Looks like the cars from Forza Horizon 2: F&F are making a return.

I'd rather see some classics from the movies, the Supra from the first movie, the RX7 from Tokyo drift etc cool either way though.

That first wet weather video, so lovely and I love the start of race animations being in the pit lane instead of on the track.
I don't know whether I've missed this earlier in the thread, but from the reveal trailer I noticed there's custom helmets. Can we customise our own or will we choose from presets?
Everything looks absolutely amazing so far though, I can understand why we've waited so long for rain with the amount of detail they're putting into it.

Hasn't been discussed.
I could swear i heard somewhere you could play as a female driver, but i have no idea where i heard / read that.

I'm surprised no one is talking about the lighting. Usually in these Forza threads it's endless discussions about prebaked lighting and whatnot.
So, what's the opinions on the lighting being used for these night time races?

From this article "Also new are female avatars, for the first time in the series - suggesting we'll have much more customisation over player characters than before"

its no driveclub but it looks better than pcars
Probably replay footage, which I'm assuming will be 30fps.

Does the Press Y to rewind prompt also show in replays? Can't remember from FM5, I never watch them.
It isn't HUD is there, MS just don goof.

On the Xbox one?
There aren't even raindrops on the Ai cars and everything is prebaked.
Here's some off-screen footage that's at 60fps.

Can you please add the triple screen setup as a preorder bonus? thanks a lot.
Stunning!
Stunning.
Brands Hatch in the rain here with Dan speaking in the background - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rUdXnI3tuM
If you're referring to the Brands Hatch video it's probably because the video has been uploaded at 50fps for some reason. Forza Motorsport 6 is a locked 60fps.

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

I was hoping for at least a few choices for time of day for the tracks. It's nice in other games to choose the hour and skyscape to keep tracks feeling fresh. Plus, I like to race to mimic the day or mood, sometimes you just want laps on a cloudy day, you know?
But I'm sure it'll be great fun, that Forza feel is pretty fantastic. And I love that they're adding some different tracks too, Brands Hatch and Watkins Glen are great additions. More game need more Zandvoort thought!
All that stuff aside, the career sounds like a nice change. I loved the story/themed career in Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends, it was creative and fun to have different objectives (7 laps left in a race, help your teammate get 2nd while holding off a rival in 4th). It felt more natural than just racing 2-3 laps for xp. MotoGP has an events of the past year mode, and it's fun to repeat or change the events of the season with different objectives.
I don't know if this will top the pCARS motorsport focused career. With that game, I feel like a real driver for a team, and that's what I've wanted from a 4-wheel racing game for a long time. I do enjoy trying all the different cars in a Forza career, but it's never really given me a motorsport season feel IMO.
Regardless, it looks great.

Link I posted initially was busted, here's some 60fps offscreen Rio action.

I like how everybody struggles with the Ford GT in the first corner of Rio.
Them forza physics!

Is it wrong that every time I see the driver take the driving line I expect them to beat some challenge a la Driveclub?
Hopefully the driving line isn't on by default. Always an instant-off for me.

Any info on the soundtrack? Or genre(s) of music in the game?

Looks like the game that I wished Forza 5 was going to be. Fantastic. A return to form for this series.

hold up did they add in motion blur or are those screens taken from a replay?
know if you can do night time & wet weather at the same time?
Played it last night. The weather is definitely the real deal. And the frame rate was solid as a rock. Completely changed the game
Played with the hurrican at Sebring at night, full sim everything, assists off. Fucking terrifying.

I have no idea how they did it, but they did it.
This is easily the most technically impressive racer this gen. All those effects and still 1080p60.
