Hope they improve the load times significantly. Forza 5 takes way too long to load between races.
I don't get the Car of Duty thing...Forza isn't an annual release.
Yes, we do.

Cool
What do you mean more up-beat? If anything I think Forza should get more serious, instead of less serious. They have Horizon now which takes the edge off things for those that want a slightly more casual or fanfare filled affair. Forza Motorsport should go more sim and hardcore imo. More emphasis on pit stops, campaign qualifying, time of day, weather, improved AI, more accurate damage systems etc.
There appears to be more arcade and simcade racers on the market these days than pure sim racers, and we've never really had a console equivalent of rFactor or iRacing etc, plus as much as Project Cars looks great, I can't see it being as in depth as some of these larger budgeted games might be capable of. I also don't really have faith that Gran Turismo will offer the kind of purer sim experience some may be wanting either. It's Forza's to take.
Says you with also no taste.
Driveclub (in it's current state anyhow) and mainline Forza are leagues ahead than the two you mention. Horses for courses and all that, but Burnout was awful and Horizon doesn't offer a proper racing experience in my eyes. Give me a sim (or close enough), close track competition and racecraft any day. So much more exciting and tense. Tuning is great also.
Yet every other racing game in existence seems to be able to float around this criticism?

Hopefully the smooth out the minor jaggies and give us polygonal crew.

Cause it wouldn't be as shocking??
Don't see the harm in it as long as they are good games that keep on improving the series.
Could understand if they were releasing them every year but every two years is a good gap.

Such a weird way and time to announce it. I mean, it's not like it was a suprise or anything but you'd think they'd use E3 and throw some footage in?
If this is running on forward+ rendering like Horizon 2 than we should see SMAA which will hopefully take care of most of the jaggies this time around.
It was accompanied by autovista footage and we will see more at E3.
Honestly this isn't a bomb to drop at E3 as it's incredibly expected so announcing before E3 to gain goodwill with a car manufacturer is a way better move for them.
This will never happen. Forza's too big a seller for them to turn it into such a fantastically niche product.
Does this stop them from showing footage at E3? I don't really get the criticism...everyone knew there'd be another Forza anyway.

I will never understand this. Forza is an exclusive for MS so why the redundancy in the tweet? How can it be more exclusive than exclusive?
they set the bar high then the sequel had far less content. they failed to meet their own bar. it was seen as a step back in many ways and should be. doesnt mean it didnt also move forward in other, arguably more important ways, but it is what it is. doesnt mean there wasnt a very real reason for it to be so, but again, it is what it is.

From when Horizon 2 was announced
Actually their high bar for quality is why it had such little content. They could have reused 360 assets and tracks but they didn't want to, they decided it was better to give proper high quality content - rescanning tracks rather than just re-skinning etc. Forza 6 will be bigger because they'll have had 2 years of Xbox One development, no moving goal posts for unfinished hardware and can just focus on adding content.
Not really. It was planned around the announcement of the new Ford GT as the cover vehicle.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they do a blowout on this before E3 like the week before and use the timeslot for something else but we'll see.

Please have night driving and weather.
A step back?
How are laser-scanned tracks a step back?
This was a launch game built for brand new hardware that ended up at 1080p/60 fps with new/rebuilt lighting engine, physics engine, graphical engine, AI engine, cloud integration and all done in two years.
It might've been a step back in total content but it's still better than anyone else offers and it is still the largest racing game at the launch of a console by far when it comes to content.
cool. thanks for looking that up for me. bring on the return of rallisport!

I just hope there are some significant updates because the past few games have kind of felt like expansions or .5's. Its a very solid series but they need to start making progress like weather, dynamic day/night cycles etc.
Its pretty crazy that Forza 5 and 6 will come out before a next gen GT is announced.

The last Forza entry (Horizon 2) was on XB1 and 360. Forza 6 is exclusive to the XB1.

What a random time to do an announcement, but no complaints as long as it feels more like a full game than FM5. I do really like the Forza franchise, but man, are they pumping them out like it's Call of Duty lately. I think Forza could use a little more time in the oven to create a more complete package like Gran Turismo does... though GT is a little too long.

I might just buy an Xbox One now.
you said it yourself, it was a step back in content. a major step back from many peoples perspective. i already said it was a big step forward in other "arguably more important ways", but that doesnt change the fact that people lik eme, who invested 100s of hours into forza 4's 27 racing locations were dissapointed with forza 5's 17 (14 at launch). forza 5 had a severe lack of content compared to its last outing. this isnt debatable.
i love forza 5. its an amazing driving experience, looks nice, and greatly improved many of the old tracks. the new nurburgring is GLORIOUS. but i miss the hell out of the cut tracks and find the track variety quite lacking
Do you think they announced the Ford GT today because it's going to be at the windows event?
That... would be awesome.
Oh lawd, if they did this, I'd be in heaven. Loved those two games on the original Xbox.

A laptop with Windows 10 on it will be brought in by someone driving a Ford GT onto the stage. They open the laptop and the default wallpaper is revealed to be an image of the Ford GT. Mystery debunked.
I'd prefer if they just drove it through a wall with magical Windows 10 Metro squares flying behind it
You guys called it.
It still seems a little too soon for my tastes. I'm not sure what sort of major improvements a new game in the series will offer. Better graphics, I suppose? I assume they'll lose those 2d cardboard spectators, even they though they made for some hilarious gifs.
