Support NeoGAF

[soundscream]

And another thing looking at the Forza scoreboard I'm currently sitting at #8 while SarBear is.......26

Comparing Forza 5 I'm level 537 to his 216.........so who would be holding the team back in reality?

Might have to change your name to SadBear

 

[Black_Stride]

Unfortunately, per the team the retail game will not support triple screen setups. The rig at the show was a completely custom dbox job running on devkits

Also no. I don't believe you can turn off rewind in 5.

Orly. Well i guess thats kind good in a way, cuz now i only need donations for the Ultimate edition of Forza 6
But not really....that just means now i only need donations for the Ultimate edition of Forza 6.

 

[Mascot]

Actually had a glance to spend time with the game, and talked to one of the programmers. It's 60 fps for reflections and mirrors.

Excellent! Same deal for replays?

Spoiler

pleasepleaseplease

 

[flashmouth]

Damn it man, I'm on 10,900 right now. You actually have to 100% every Forza game on Rewards to reach Tier 8 before FM6.

Is that even possible anymore? Thought some of the auction houses are taken down already.

 

[solis74]

Any new vids out?

 

[Mascot]

Any discussion about Forzatech yet? It's a buzzword that was being thrown around pre-E3 but I haven't heard much about it since. Is it a brand new physics engine, rendering engine, or what?

Beard trimming technology.

 

[saladine1]

So performance upgrades/tuning still the same?

I was hoping for more fine tuning and perhaps some 'works conversion' upgrades ala SHIFT 2...

Also, my pet peeve....no proper gearbox whine and physics simulation again..?

Helios, just put me out of my misery either way...Helliiiiooosss!!

If you don't have the AH achievement in FM2 or own the paid DLC from FM3 it's impossible. I don't have the paid DLC for Forza 3 myself so I'll never be able to 100% that game since they removed everything from the store

Is there a GOTY version with DLC included that you could rent/pick up cheap?

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

I have immense respect for how solidly Turn 10 sticks to their framerate goals. The fact that the update rate of their mirrors and reflections is supposedly higher than the overall performance of the competition is just amazing.

Are the mirrors now running at 60 too?

 

[Mascot]

Are the mirrors now running at 60 too?

Apparently so, according to m0dus. Reflections too.

Still waiting on the word about replays.

Good point actually, I'm not sure. I just presumed the DLC had to be tied to your account for it to be recognised on Forza Rewards.

Also no. I don't believe you can turn off rewind in 5.

You can turn off the on-screen prompt though and so it will no longer be part of your experience.

 

[Bobnob]

Can't see any "distance to cars infront/behind" timers, might be because its still in dev or were seeing single player.Can anybody confirm these timers a back, its a big downer if not.

That would be a very pleasant return. I always used that feature offline as well as online, really helped me gauge the gap between cars so I knew if I was catching anyone.

Agreed. This and lap deltas would be good additions.

 

[leeh]

You can actually, been able to do it since they released it in 4. I usually have it off for that extra moolah.

This is what Forza 6

and every other racing game

needs.

Agreed on the works conversions.. if they add back rear splitters and side splitters like in FM2, then they could have a Forza style works conversion - which would be cool, but probably not going to happen.

In terms of new tuning/customisation/performance upgrades options, the only thing they've really said is new tire compounds - but haven't alluded to what they are; if they're just wet racing slicks or more than that. Other than that, the only other word on tuning/customisation is that Gamesradar article in which it says

Customisation and tuning will be better than ever:
There isn't a great deal of information on this aspect of the game, except for a promise that there will be better customisation than ever before

So yeah, not much at this stage. Probably very similar to F5/FH2, with a few tweaks

 

[martynzs]

Ive been a Forza devotee since the start, but this is going to have to do ALOT to sway me from PCars...

 

[MouldyK]

The hell he is.

Missing:

- The Auction Achievement from Forza 2 (when I did the rest in August, the Auction House was shut ofc).
- The "Connoisseur" (Own (at least) one car from every manufacturer.) achievement in Forza 3 I have? Forza Rewards don't think so.
- Have the Season Pass and Rally Expansion in Forza Horizon? Forza Rewards says you only have 4/5 DLC.
- Forza 5 Achievments and Badges.
- Forza Horizon 2 Achievements (only 25gs needed).
- Fast and Furious Billboards (2 left).

More Forza Rewards to get?

Nobody cares that you've been failing for longer.

 

[solis74]

Any special editions coming out?

 

[Azzawon]

Digitally yes, check here: http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/FM6_Pre_Order

No news on physical yet.

 

[TylerDurden4321]

There are still no settings for the traction control? -.-
Adjustable traction control really can't be a difficult to implement feature. GT and PCARS have it. In PCARS it's even pre-configured on a per-car basis.
Some manufacturers have stability and traction control settings that make drifting really easy fun, this is a feature that pro's and casuals would enjoy. From the competitive perspective it's also more fair than the "normal steering"-option that doesn't slow you down like stability management.

 

[TylerDurden4321]

There are no clubs anyway, just racing leagues.
Edit: sorry for double posting.

 

[h3ro]

Any word on how storefronts will be handled?

Forza 5 was such a backward, unintuitive mess when it came to finding your favorite painter's new livery or new leader board tune from a big tuning house. Really hope they return to the way it was in F3/4.

 

[FunkyDealer]

Did we get confirmation on whether they upped the number of cars in a race?

 

[Fortinbras]

24 cars in Forza 6. 5 had 16.

Gamescom is going to be a long wait. D:

7 weeks to go and counting.

Wait, we have to wait at least six months for Porsches? Fuck EA and their dictatorship ways.

Well from today yes, when Forza 6 launches it will be more around 3+ months.

 

[Shortt Sirket]

I can't wait to see how that new Elite Controller will work with Forza 6. Just thinking about mapping the shifts to the back paddles and setting up the proper trigger min/max for gas/brake.....oh man....gonna be amazing.

Yes. It's going to be awesome. I just wish they would have released in time for September 10.

Word man. But a month later isn't too bad really. They were talking about offering them in different colors and styles for different games, so I would love to see a Forza specific one come out.

What constitutes as "Paid DLC"? The car packs? Because I bought the Porsche DLC when it launchedand the Storm Island DLC on FH2 yesterday, but it's not showing up in my hub. I didn't even physically buy any in 5 and it still gave it to me after downloading the free DLCs. It's odd.

Spoiler

I hate that buying tokens are a part of the score though...

 

[TheAdmiester]

Any info on how early the access is for the biggest edition?

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

Sep 10. Regular release date is Sep 15.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Sep 10. Regular release date is Sep 15.

So if I would be buying the game + car pass anyway, should I just preorder the ultimate edition then?

 

[Raven77]

Any E3 impressions? Video's? Idk if I'm just not looking in the right place but I can't find any coverage on this game.

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

So if I would be buying the game + car pass anyway, should I just preorder the ultimate edition then?

The FM5 car pass was $49.99 at launch, but it had 6 x 10 cars rather than 6 x 7.

I'm guessing that the FM6 car pass will be $34.99, so the game plus pass would cost $94.98, which is ~$5 less than the digital Ultimate Edition.

~$5 for the VIP pass, which was $20 for FM5, isn't bad.

Question for anyone who has done these digital preorders, do they charge your card when it unlocks or immediately when you pre-order it?

Was the VIP discounted 50% in FM5 or only in FH2 for previous VIP members? I know at least one of them was $10 for me, so I hope FM6 will continue that.
