By the looks of this post, there's a chance of different ToD for all tracks (except full night, which we know is restricted to some of the courses, and possibly dusk/dawn, since it would demand functioning headlights beams from cars as well):

Rain at different times of day, yes, but no rain at full night, sorry! Let's see what the future brings.

 

[MouldyK]

Nice spot, that's definitely the bit going up to Eau Rouge and you can see the final chicane in the mini map.

They show that part of the track like 3 times, not sure if any others are shown though.


God, i'm so excited for this game after I am so close to getting the Max Reward Points I can obtain minus the glitches in the system and FM2.

 

[BADNED]

This looks like Spa in the rain...I think?

That is the Nürburgring Nordschleife! The Indycar part I mean! The Jag onboard of course is Spa!

Badned, no more rainy tracks to share?

 

[LoveCake]

Does anybody know how to check and make sure Forza Rewards can see that I own 300 cars in Forza 3 and 300 cars in Forza 4?

You can check your score here https://rewards.forzamotorsport.net/en-US it doesn't update straight away, i check back after a day or so, there is no other way to check as it just goes by checking your system.

I knew that! I just like time-stamping a bit before so people can get adjusted rather than miss what I am showing.

I've been trying to get 200 Miles on Nürburgring today for the "Rush Hour" Achievement (and got to do it in German Cars tomorrow aswell), I think I now the minimap and Track when I see it. ;D

Badned, no more rainy tracks to share?

They don't want us to know everything!

 

[TheAdmiester]

This screenshot I quoted on the last page is also Spa from the looks of it.

Looks like the fastest section that leads up to the ending chicane.

 

[Grassy]

It's so flat _______________________________________________

So flat, but so good.

Yes, for what I understood in WMD forums, it seems Honda doesn't license the track so easily now.

I wonder why? It's such a great track.

Anyway, Nordschleife in the rain will be awesome/scary. Looking forward to it.
I'm ready for an info dump on this game.

 

[HokieJoe]

Not trying to start shit, I like Forza a lot, but topping DC India wet weather race transitioning into night... Tall order.

I guess that all depends on how one defines "Tall order". DC isn't a sim, so comparing them graphically is a bit silly. As for day/night transitions. Seriously? That's such a bogus bullet point IMO. If Forza delivers in every other area, I really couldn't care less if it has day/night transitions. I'm more stoked about night racing and rain. The only thing that worries me is track variety.

Man, I am so stoked to see these tracks on the list.

 

[Diablohead]

Yeah, but for what?

They were listed among developers who will be using DirectX 12. My point was that right now they're just "the Forza studio", and their only upcoming title is DirectX 11.

Forza Rallisport, calling it now.

Spoiler

please do not shatter my hopes and dreams, greenawalt.

 

[HokieJoe]

Can't say I'm surprised with that list really. Still good though, shame about no Suzuka.

Yeah, I love Suzuka. Hopefully we'll get it via DLC.

 

[HokieJoe]

Oh.

It appears i'm wrong then.

Please don't let it happen again.

[Paladin CL]

Im really disappointed with the track list, the lack of fictional tracks its heartbreaking, I feel theres no respect for tradition, where are Mapple Valley, fujimi Kaido, Camino Viejo, Sedona, Rally di Positano.

Forza has so little to stand over other racing sims in terms of tracks.

I agree as well. I love all the new tracks they are adding and that list is pretty impressive, but giving us Maple Valley and at least Sedona or Camino would of added a bit more diversity to the game. But still a good list of tracks, much better than F5. All we can hope is that Dan gives us tracks as DLC and it includes some of the fictional tracks.

I would definitely agree that the lack of fictional tracks at launch isn't great, but I think T10 know this and hopefully we get a similar free track dlc model like we did in FM5 - where the track was free to everybody, fully integrated to career/multiplayer and they sold a car booster on the side to generate additional revenue.

 

[shandy706]

Those slow, panning, raining track shots look gorgeous.

 

[QuikNez]

Screens and videos are dope, but again, like E3, I am disappointed in the amount of FM6 coverage and released media... Rio is great n'shit, but I need more people!!!

 

[shinnn]

Updated final list (except for weather/time of day variations, which still haven't been completely made clear):

13. Top Gear Test Track

There's a shot of TGTT in the rain in the previous page

 

[Arlen777]

Do we have to have 200 cars in garage in order to get forza 6 rewards? Or do we need 200 "UNIQUE" cars? Because i just bought 120 Eagles because they are cheap

EDIT: Forza Rewards is delayed by couple of hours, its actually 200 any cars even duplicates

 

[erale]

Have they said anything yet if we will get a demo before release?

300 for the 5 Mill and your Eagles will do.

I mean, FH2 requires 300 cars and there ain't 300 unique ones in the game.

 

[SarBear]

I think it's a little revolting that we are in the dark with regards to information on Japanese tracks. Exclusion from Forza 5 was harsh enough, but now again with Forza 6? Seriously?

And basically no comment on it? Bro, some serious avoidance going on and it concerns me. This, no information on the matchmaking (hopeful) overhaul, storefront revamp, and no 04 SVT Cobra makes me think someone up high doesn't consider the core mechanics.

But, I mean, I'm still gonna get it. If not to do nothing more than poke fun at soundscream's lap times (I think he's using automatic trans, possibly all assists) I'll still be there.

 

[Blimblim]

I added a second off-screen gameplay video, with 3 more to come today:

Yeah thats what i was thinking, Horizon 2 doesnt have that many cars.
I am off to buy 100 more cars then

Damn you really feel the increased grip and no more dead stops when getting off track. Yes I was cutting corners like a madman yesterday at Brands Hatch. Damn this game will be good.

Were you driving with a wheel or gamepad?

 

[Lima]

Were you driving with a wheel or gamepad?

With the Xbox Elite Controller.

Also spectator mode for MP is going to make a comeback. Really happy about it.

Really want to know if they changed something on the wheel support. Forza 5 with the Thrustmaster TX doesn't feel great at all. So I'm really struggling with pre-ordering Forza 6 right now...

 

[Azzawon]

I noticed in the trailer yesterday that some Spa footage in the rain looked like it was set in the late evening. Looked awesome!

The big question however: will we see different ToD at the same circuit? Forza 5 became stale in that regard very quickly as the ToD was exactly the same every time.

 

[MouldyK]

and no 04 SVT Cobra

- 1993 Ford SVT Cobra R
- 1995 Ford SVT Cobra R
- 2000 Ford SVT Cobra R

I think there's too many Cobras already.

But i'm sure Ford-za 6 will have 2004 Cobra at some point.

 

[c0de]

http://www.gamersyde.com/news_gc_forza_6_gameplay-16893_en.html

I like how the raindrops change their trails according to the direction the car is moving but the effect is a bit too much as the trails change too much when the car isn't driving fast.

 

[mrklaw]

Yay - Monza
Boo - no Suzuka

Also boo - relatively lacklustre gamescom showing


Will I be forced to race in the rain? It can be an interesting distraction in time trial or quick race, but I'm not a fan generally. It's a 'pretty but pointless' feature that so many people scream about and looks nice in videos but personally I feel it distracts from other things they could be doing.

 

[Bobnob]

How many Ovals ??? Hope we get Track DLC

 

[SarBear]

I think there's too many Cobras already.

@_@


Not sure if serious......

I understand being disappointed by the lack of fictional tracks but this is one of the greatest track lists a Forza title has ever had. It should be noted that some of the fictional tracks we loved were copies of real tracks that are now included.

I find it hard to be mad about it when we are finally getting tracks like Monza, Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, Daytona and COTA.

 

[Mascot]

No Imola makes me a bit sad...

It's indeed an odd decision omitting Imola but having Monza, but here might be 'other' reasons other than Dan's personal choice*. Fine, have Monza, but as well as, not instead of, Imola.

Imalo is orders of magnitude better than Monza by every metric of mine, but I guess some insane mouth-breathers may prefer Monza. No offence if you do.

*but he did insist on Indy because of some nefarious teenage nostalgia nonsense, as I recall, so maybe he just stuck a pin in a map. Who knows.

[SatansReverence]

Glad to see Infineon (Sonoma) and the Hock returning, 2 of my favourite tracks in FM4.

As for complaints about the Hock being too "flat", there is more to a challenging track than just lumps and bumps. The hock also has just the right cambers and crests at just the right places to make it a truly challenging track to master.

 

[Noobcraft]

^ Hockenheim ring has that one hairpin turn that ruins every multiplayer race lol.

Excuse me for enjoying some elevation changes :/

Yeah, flat tracks are a wasted opportunity in my book. Elevation always adds, never detracts.

 

[D'ultimate]

Are all the cars going to have something displayed on the in dash display
or just the new GT?

 

[FordGTGuy]

They probably will, could say "Forza Motorsport" on some of them.

Yeah, color me a bit disappointed as well. But this is easily the best real-world track list I've seen in a Forza game. Suzuka is a huge loss, though.

Add back in the fictional tracks, and Suzuka, and it'd be perfect. You would think the fictional tracks would be the easiest for them to remaster for this generation, since there's no need for real-world scanning.

 

[psychotron]

Can't wait. Gamersyde footage looks terrific in 60fps.

 

[gutterboy44]

You think there is ever a chance that we see Forza on PC with the hole Win 10 push? I know it would never release side by side, but maybe halfway between Forza 6 and 7 we see 6 drop on Win 10? I would hope so, cause all console racers are dead to be because of the wheel situation. If it came to 10, I would hope my G27 would work.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

I don't like a lot of T10's fantasy tracks, beside the scenery they're so samey, too wide and fast.
