Forza Motorsport 6 has "wet weather, 3D puddles and night races" + more

Just done a showcase event in a Zakspeed Capri holy shit the noise and speed of that car is unreal, this game is worth every cent paid.

Try the same event in the 512BB, the V12 sounds so smooth.

I've already said it earlier but this game is the new benchmark for car sounds.
 
At least in mitigation of the having to come 3rd thing - in freeplay you can set up a series of events that use the same playlist as the career events. So then choose a higher difficulty and not worry about placing.

First Ring race at night on a Koenigsegg

I was doing so well battering the Veneno around the Ring in the wet and then completely lost it on the carousel :mad:

Restarts attempt with an unchanged smirk
 
I really like the showcases, just done the pre-war grand prix cars at Spa. Seems madness that Turn10 hasn't allowed us to take that set of cars to any track, only a single event.

There doesn't seem to be anything like the league completion/bonus races where you can finish a career event then go back and do any race to improve your position.

Just played in a full A Class lobby... It was hilarious xD
We raced on Brands Hatch Rain vers. And everyone was spinning all the time xD
 
Are you playing with any assists on?

If so which?

I only keep ABS on, and go manual w/o clutch. Will use the line (to help get me up to speed with the new tracks) and keep rewind enabled until I get my Forza legs back - but I'll turn both off as soon as I feel comfortable with the handling model again.

Whether I go for realistic or cosmetic damage will depend upon how tame or crazy the Drivatars are at my difficulty level. But as I race almost exclusively vs AI I'll probably keep it cosmetic only.

Or does the damage setting apply to AI as well? Will they damage themselves and pit if needed?

When I was reviewing it they could get damaged. I should know I put a couple in a wall the first time I jumped up a class without assists on lol. I am not sure how messed up they do get though. But they do slow down.

It's been like that as long as I can remember. Even in Forza 1 when I was younger and would smash into other cars, you'd end up with a few AI cars billowing smoke and limping around the track.

Nice.

I'll give sim damage a try then. As long as its fair it seems like a nice way to add some more risk and motivate me to keep the driving clean.

I need my pictures. Fm.net gallery isn't being populated. Day -5 problems.
Is somebody putting up an OT soon? Or do the GAF rules dictate that it go up on the 14th?

Are people doing manual shifting using just a controller? How long did it take you to get used to using a clutch + shift on just an ordinary gamepad?

I'm debating getting an Elite Controller so I can use the paddles on the back to shift. Even though I'm a stick guy in real life, using the right stick to shift has never felt right to me.

How do you transfer all that $ from F5 to 6? Mine didn't,and I got an insane amount.. only tier rewards and pre-order-VIP stuff.
 
just to be clear, if I buy the ultimate edition right now, I'll be able to play the game now, right? Xbox store still says release date for 9/15.

Yes, ultimate edition ($100 in NA stores) unlocks right now. Its a 44 gig install/download.

Buying cars is still clumsy and unwieldy, instead of left/right scroll its now up/down. Sort is only by manufacturer/class/year, they took out value from FH2. You can toggle affordable/not owned still. Still, it would take forever to buy all the free cars. I wonder if one day the website or app would let you buy cars.

You can get up to 5m per previous forza games I think, as long as you had over 300 cars in each. That was easy in FH2 (buy 300 copies of the same $3-5k car), but much harder in the rest. I got up to 200 cars in F5 but couldn't make to 300.

That probably is his rewards.

I tried buying a bunch of cars in Forza 5 last night. It was so slow I gave up. Still have 21+ Million despite all the buying....gonna leave so much money sitting in that game as I move on.

Free Ford GT is in your message center under gifts and not the massive free car list.
Strangely, the gift one does not unlock the achievement for owning the 2017 GT. I had to buy a second GT because I am an achievement hooker.

I feel like my game is missing a number of bonus cars, however. The are several F&F cars I haven't seen. For example, I have a Hellcat Challenger but no Hellcat Charger even in my game, and I thought I saw that car on the list.

It sucks if that we really can't get any screenshots or photos out before release.
I've bought a lot of cars already thanks to the 25M credits I got at the start, the amount of full Forzavista cars seems to be quite impressive.
All FH2 cars that I've bought had the full treatment as well as returning cars like the F1 GT or the XK120.
New racing cars had the full treatment as well, the like of Capri, CSL, M1 ProCar, 12-C GT3, C7-R, etc... Really impressive !

You able to get your screens now G Rom? That goes to everyone who's had troubles getting their screens.

I have the Ultimate Edition, but everytime I try to start the game up, it just takes me back to the Home Screen

Any suggestions on how to actually play it?

Can anyone confirm if there are more homespaces available to unlock? Only 2 seem available from the start but I'm looking forward to more, alá PGR3.

I never get tired of shooting the Huayra. I took this into photoshop to play with the levels/contrast.

So good to see M. Rossi making his return in the showcase events.

Edit: first photo I've done from the game. Really loving these classic showcases. (sorry for the compression)

Nope, it still won't work. Same issue as before. Here is how they appear in the Upload app :

Notice how there's no name of game above my gamertag.
The weird thing is that if I go to "View game hub", it shows the proper FM6 hub and if I look at the notifications, they show the FM6 graphic as well...
