I do not think any of this is real, I mean split-screen? The physics + rendering everything twice, they will probably have to drop it to 30fps in split-screen. Also, all the typos, and the general page layout makes it seem like this was some sort of hack on the website, but who would do a hack just to add some plausible information about the upcoming game? Also, 50fps? When was the last time a developer targetted 50fps? Or any framerate in between 30 and 60? They either aim for 60, unlocked 30 or locked 30.

I believe the weather and day/night is real, the 450 cars seems plausible, the 1080p for sure, and 60fps is guaranteed, they don't even have to confirm that. But the split-screen is the one thing I don't think will happen.

The screenshots are definitely not fake, split-screen is going to be toned down and will probably run at 30 fps.

Its on the official Xbox Japan page, its real. Even with some typos.

Forza 5 has 60 fps split screen. They dropped the crowds and ai racers to do it but it's 60 fps.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Forza 5 has 60 fps split screen.

Wow, I thought it was 30 fps. That's some wizardry for a launch title.

BTW

This means that we're going from 14 tracks at Forza 5 launch to 26 tracks at Forza 6 launch, nice improvement!

Forza 5 has 60 fps split screen.

Well I'll be damned. I have been playing it for over a year now, well mostly just solo Nordschleife runs, and I had no idea it even had split-screen, let alone it ran at 60fps.

Split-screen doesnt mean rendering twice.

 

[Gestault]

Yesssss split-screen. I've been itching to have a racing game back in my life. Gonna buy this for my Xbone bros so we can do drunken couch multiplayer.

My times in racing games get terrible with any alcohol in my system, but I'll still do it after-hours.

 

[Metfanant]

I'm hoping "wet" and "night" includes dynamic weather and day/night changes and not just wet tracks with puddles, or set times of day...

I need this game to be the reason I finally got an Xbone

 

[Plasma]

50 fps is the new 1080 vertical.

 

[Majine]

I'm gonna drive right into the puddles and soak the cardboard audience so they will fold.

 

[Bod]

Is this coming out 2015 ?

 

[Salty Hippo]

Finally, arguably the biggest missing feature, man PD have got some proper competition now.

As opposed to the past 6 years? Wet weather and night races are not everything that matters in a racing sim.

 

[Avatar1]

Unless the game has adopted forward plus rendering and DX12, might've provided just enough extra juice to pull it off.



good point.

Oh yeah. Forgot about the secret sauce.

 

[QuikNez]

This is the game of the gen for me, I can't fucking wait.

 

[Steverulez]

Is this coming out 2015 ?

Yes.

 

[Diablohead]

3D puddles as in PGR 4 style puddles? HHNNGGGG

 

[etta]

Day 1 for sure. I am hoping the rain will look as good as DC, but somehow have better visibility. I tried to get used to the driving in it, and I just missed the Forza handling too much.

Split-screen doesnt mean rendering twice.

What do you mean?

 

[Chris1]

I bet Miles is happy


Seems like it's fixing most people's issue with forza 5 which is always good news.

 

[Bod]

Yes.

excellent

 

[JaggedSac]

Gonna pass on this. FH is where I will get my racing time.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Forza 6(Day One)

450+ cars (+217+ cars)

26 environments (+12 environments)

Forza 5(Day One)

233 cars (-300 cars)

14 environments (-10 environments)

Forza 4(Day One)

533 cars

24 environments

 

[SgtCobra]

Helios already said nobody will be disappointed

Well yeah I doubt he'll say people will end up being disappointed

 

[GHG]

Is Porsche in?

 

[mike4001_]

On a side note, I actually thought Horizon 2 was 60 FPS the first day I had it, because of how fluid the movement felt in cockpit mode. Had no idea it was 30 FPS. I felt so ashamed. I'm really excited for this game though. I kind of felt the first Forza on X1 was lacking. So I expect this one to be more fleshed out, and feel like an overall package.

Motion Blur doing it´s tricks

 

[etta]

Well yeah I doubt he'll say people will end up being disappointed

He could just not say anything. I really think this is the Forza we have all be waiting for. Dramatic weather, dynamic day and night, and, well, the rest it has (60 fps, 1080p, epic physics).

 

[RyudBoy]

Gonna pass on this. FH is where I will get my racing time.

Same, although I might buy it when it goes on sale some day.

I just want to see it in action already.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Oh yeah. Forgot about the secret sauce.

Forward plus rendering was a large reason they were able to pull off the lighting in Horizon 2, Forza 5 used deferred rendering. Forza 6 will be the first DX12 Forza title, which is no doubt part of the ForzaTech PR machine that will be going on.

 

[RoKKeR]

Nice. F6 is going to consume my time.

 

[chubigans]

It would have been completely embarrassing if it didn't have night and weather racing. So good on them for finally re hauling their engine. Looking forward to some gameplay vids.

Seems they can produce 250 new cars in their 2 year cycle.

I am OK with that. Glad they don´t recycle old X360 car models.

 

[OmegaDL50]

I hope there is night/day cycle and not only night race variant to choose from.

This and hopefully they don't overuse the fact they now include weather and night racing.

Driveclub while a great game, some of the Tour packs have an overabundance of night time + weather events.

Generally in real life racing strong weather is sign for the race to be postponed due to the weather.

I don't mind Night Racing, as it is present in the 24 hour events such as LeMans, however Night Time Racing during a Strong Rain are two combinations I can live without.

This makes me giddy. Forza Horizon 2 is my favourite car game of all time. Holy shit though, my hype just increased abruptly and exponentially for E3. Thankfully, WWDC in two days will help pass a bit of the time faster.

 

[son of a Sven]

Wow, I thought it was 30 fps. That's some wizardry for a launch title.

Yet the only thing GAF gave a fuck about at launch were 2d crowds and lack of night/weather.
On a serious note, what would happen if the game ran at 50fps on a 60HZ TV? Constant tearing? As a guy who spends as much time in the livery editor and photo mode as time spent racing, I really hope they bring back 8MP big shots AND up the livery resolution in photo mode. After all, the shapes are simple vectors.

 

[c0de]

Perhaps Helios should be allowed to drop us a few lines before the whole discussion leads to people believing the game will really run at 50fps and a resolution of 1080px which already overcharges people.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Might not be dynamic day / night cycle and just a separate load up for each track. Which is fine IMO because the extra horsepower saved by using 'baked' lighting can be used elsewhere.

And seriously, how many actual racing events take place during significant daylight changes?

 

[CalamityPixel]

I'm willing to sacrifice 10fps if it means 3D Puddles.

sogood.jpg

About time wet weather is in a mainline Forza game.

I don't think anyone actually believes that.

Not many, however; I would like to see a return to endurance racing.

 

[wachie]

What do you mean?

You still push out the same amount of pixels.

Is Forza 5 confirmed using deferred rendering?
I don't put my money on dx12 but on the much better state of the xdk and more resources available for games, also because of Kinect “drop“.

 

[jello44]

I AM GOING TO EXPLODEEEEEE

I have done 70 lap Nordschleife runs once or twice, so it could be nice. But I would too vote for them to use baked lighting if it helps deliver better looking rain than FH2.

 

[chadskin]

We reached out to Microsoft for comment and they informed us that "Forza Motorsport 6 will run at 1080p and 60 frames per second on Xbox One, and you will be able to learn more about the game at E3."

[Hawk269]

The mention of 24 environments has me giddy, if true. F5 suffered from lack of tracks.

The 24 Hours LeMans and Daytona, Also other long endurance race events. Such as the 12 Hours of Sebring

 

[cool_dude]

Hype rising higher and higher! Choo-choo!

 

[SgtCobra]

Or its his work to communicate with the community and hype people up/advertise the game. There's nothing wrong with that but I'll have to see for myself if I'll end up disappointed or not, playing the game is the best way to find that out even though the bullet points we have right now seem very appealing.

http://www.icxm.net/x/Forza-Motorsport-6-Features.html

Great to hear, lol @50fps.
