Night time confirmed?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Shocking.

Wonder if it'll have weather and a day/night cycle.

 

[strafer]

I hope the game will have good engine sounds

 

[Hexa]

Completely expected game.
Completely unexpected announcement.

 

[XxRampage07xX]

What a shocking announcement! Why don't they wait until E3 to announce it?

[Miles Quaritch]

Does this mean Forza Horizon 3 is coming in 2016?

Forza Gotham Racing or Rallisport Forza. Enough with Horizon...

 

[TheAdmiester]

I hope the game will have good engine sounds

It's Forza, it already has them.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

What a shocking news! Why don't they wait until E3 to announce it?

To coincide with the reveal of the GT40? Which GASP was today!

Imagine that!

Press Release:

The new year may have just begun but already there is major news to announce for the Forza world: Forza Motorsport 6 is coming!

Today, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Microsoft and Turn 10 Studios officially announced Forza Motorsport 6, which is in development and will be arriving exclusively on Xbox One. The news came alongside the announcement of the worldwide debut of the all-new Ford GT, which will serve as the cover car for Forza Motorsport 6. In addition, Ford’s performance vehicle line-up will appear in Forza Motorsport 6. This includes the GT, Shelby GT350 Mustang, and the F-150 Raptor, debuted by Ford earlier today at the auto show. As First in Forza vehicles, Forza fans will have the opportunity to drive these cars when they debut in Forza 6.

“Just as Ford has pushed the boundaries of car technology in GT, Forza Motorsport 6 will embrace that spirit of innovation as our most technically advanced racing simulation to date, offering a fun and realistic automotive experience for both car lovers and gamers,” said Dan Greenawalt, creative director at Turn 10 Studios. “We’re excited to unveil gameplay at E3 in June.”

The announcement of Forza Motorsport 6 kicks off 2015 and the ten-year anniversary of the Forza Motorsport series. This year promises to be the busiest and biggest in Forza history and we’ll have much more to say about Forza 6 and more of our exciting plans in the future. Stay tuned to www.forzamotorsport.net and the official Forza Hub app on Xbox One for all the latest news!

 

[Duxxy3]

Xbox one has a completely stacked 3-4 months at the end of the year. If that Gears of War collection does exist, I don't think it will be released in that same period.

 

[m23]

Trailer really didn't do much for me. Still hyped as hell though.

 

[Leflus]

What a shocking news! Why don't they wait until E3 to announce it?

E3 is all about Rare, baby!

Spoiler

Hopefully

 

[entremet]

What a shocking news! Why don't they wait until E3 to announce it?

e3 is a bit over in terms of being the only time for big announcements. More and more you will the platforms holders controlling the message themselves. Nintendo is doing with Directs, Sony now has their own event.

Times are a changing.

This would just get drowned out in the e3 hoopla. I predict e3 will be much smaller in coming years. Trades shows just don't make sense in today's on demand world.

 

[Mistah]

Damn I'm in shock it's only for xbox one :O
What a surprise !

 

[Bessy67]

What a shocking news! Why don't they wait until E3 to announce it?

Today is the start of the North American International Auto Show. They unveiled the new GT there.

 

[RoKKeR]

Night time confirmed?

Interesting...

...could be a very subtle hint at that.

 

[Anion]

Horizon - Open World
Horizon 2 - Open World with off-roading
Horizon 3 - Balls-out crazy, Burnout-like, San Francisco Rush 2049-Beetle Adventure Racing-exploration-mode-insanity

Spoiler

and no more festival stuff

Playground pls.

why not another planet. Your driver, Joe Schmoe, gets abducted by aliens as he leaves Europe.

 

[chadskin]

ForzaMotorsport: Forza Motorsport 6 is coming exclusively to Xbox One, starring the all-new #FordGT! @Ford #Forza6 http://t.co/hcwHNCOQmX

Wait, it's coming exclusively to Xbox One? So no PS4 version? Damn, Microsoft gone moneyhattin' again.

Spoiler

 

[Kurt Angle]

Good luck topping Forza Horizon 2

 

[plainr_]

Is that the new Ford GT? Eh..

 

[Nightengale]

Right, but Horizon 2 was out 3 months ago. The announcement was obviously coming but even for a yearly Forza game this is quite early...

Won't argue with that. To be honest, I was expecting around March earliest. That's when the original Horizon was announced, and dead centre in the dry spells of 1H.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Press Release:

No mention of weather or day/night cycles.

Oh dear...

 

[RPGamer92]

Here's to hoping it's more like 4 than 5.

 

[BrokenIcarus]

Didn't expect an announcement this early, wondering what they have in store for E3.

 

[psn]

Im jelly because I want my GT7 soon too...

 

[hawk2025]

why not another planet. Your driver, Joe Schmoe, gets abducted by aliens as he leaves Europe.

That would be fantastic.

No mention of weather or day/night cycles.

Oh dear...

Too soon to tell, too soon! Surely they won't make that mistake.
I'll be worried once we have an interview or something more meaty and it's not mentioned.

 

[SpotAnime]

Anyone else curious as to why they revealed it now and not E3?

Or the VGX?

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Hey MS, make something we want.

 

[TheAdmiester]

No mention of weather or day/night cycles.

Oh dear...

No mention of literally anything except 3 cars, don't lose hope just yet.

 

[Bgamer90]

I wonder how soon until the forza series number is more than Gran Turismo.

2019 If the two year pattern continues (haha).

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

I expected the game. But I didn't expect the announcement now.
Isn't Microsoft holding some kind of event later this month?

 

[RoKKeR]

Man, no gameplay until E3. Bummer.

Wonder where they put this release considering how stacked September-Holiday is looking for the XBO.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Calling it exclusive to Xbox one is funny. But when MS has supported 360 for a number of the other releases I guess you have to. But I'd prefer they just removed the word exclusive. Seems a little silly.

 

[chadskin]

No mention of weather or day/night cycles.

Oh dear...

That'd indeed be disappointing. The Forza Motorsport series is long overdue for both of them. :/

 

[Kolgar]

I expect a great effort.

Enjoyed Forza 5 more than I thought--it really looked nice and felt fresh to me--and Forza Horizon 2 just raised the genre to a whole new level.

Excited.

 

[LiK]

Already?

 

[loaf of bread]

Xbox one has a completely stacked 3-4 months at the end of the year. If that Gears of War collection does exist, I don't think it will be released in that same period.

Which sucks because you get no big exclusives for the rest of the whole year and then get bombarded with them when there's already more than enough third party games being released at the same time.

Isn't Microsoft holding some kind of event later this month?

No, unless you're talking about the Windows event but there won't be games there.

 

[Dead Prince]

no 360? RIP

 

[BigTnaples]

It's exclusive? Wtf T10?!

 

[Steverulez]

No mention of weather or day/night cycles.

Oh dear...

The press release literally says nothing but 3 cars and gameplay at E3, good things come to those who wait, don't be impatient!

 

[Bgamer90]

No mention of weather or day/night cycles.

Oh dear...

Still very early. Have 8-9 months to make announcements of the game's features.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Don't think I can go back to a main numbered sequel in the series after playing the Horizon games to be honest.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Sales are not going so well since the price went back up huh?

 

[h3ro]

why not another planet. Your driver, Joe Schmoe, gets abducted by aliens as he leaves Europe.

Guardians of Gran Turismo

 

[IcyRhythms]

With that Windows 10 even coming soon, I wouldn't be surprised if this or another game were announced for PC.

 

[Bessy67]

Already?

Mainline Forza games have always been every other year. FM5 was fall 2013, FM6 will be fall 2015.

 

[BeforeU]

hollymotherfucking shit

I WANT THIS BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

clocked over 300hr + on Forza 5 and Horizon combined.

Day night cycle please

 

[Miles Quaritch]

No mention of literally anything except 3 cars, don't lose hope just yet.

You'd expect them to at least mention it, but you're right. Let's see what happens over the next few months.

Also, wonder if this announcement means Forza 5 is hitting PC? Otherwise why mention exclusivity?

 

[Chris1]

What? I knew it was coming but damn, never would of expected it to be announced this early. I hope MS aren't going to blow their E3 load again this year, I know ntknrlk didn't help leaking almost everything but still I think the only real "surprise" was MCC?
