Forza Motorsport 6 Announced for Xbox One
- Thread starter Megasoum
- Start date
I tried it with the old Kinect and Forza 4, it was the first time I'd experienced motion sickness whilst playing a game.
The tracking was only horizontal and more importantly had high latency, the latter probably being the main culprit of the sickness. I was really excited about it too, maybe I should try FM5 with head tracking (if it's in there?) but in all honesty I have yet to unbox Kinect since I purchased the console. Not sure if it will be worth it.
I played on and off with the head tracking in Forza 5. It was sort of "eh." If I was already in the zone and I set the sensitivity right, it could give a cool (weird?) feeling on deeper turns, but I've ended up keeping it off. The latency and movement range didn't give the kind of connection I'd want out of it.
I'm not sure you're right about being able to turn the Kinect on and off with when opening a menu. I'm like 90% sure Horizon 2 does that...
You know it will, it's honestly a good motto for them but the usage needs turned down on it.
GT350R is going to be the first mass-produced vehicle with entirely carbon fiber rims. Much like the F-150 with aluminum body panels they have to start somewhere and the more it's used the cheaper it becomes.
Soon enough we're going to have aluminum Mustang GTs(steel sub-frames) with carbon fiber rims and other stuff. Maybe we will really get that 3200 lb Mustang we wanted to see.
The Kinect makes the entire console better if used properly.

Here are the proper commands:
That's no joke. Driveclub and eventually Project Cars in the mean-time are great stand-ins, but my curiosity is pretty high. The beginning of a console generation is always an exciting time for big racing titles like this. You don't know one way or the other how much they can pull off.
Well, the thing is, the CLIGGICL motto is all well and good...for a couple of games. I mean, I know you want to invite people to all things car passion and shit, but for how long do you want to keep this up?
Isn't it about time to say,
"Ok, so we've established that we wanted people to become enamored with car culture. We've been ramming that concept down people's throats for years. We believe we've accomplished that task.
It's probably a good time now to go beyond that boy with his Lamborghini poster on the wall, and emphasize the second word in our game title a little bit more. Let's introduce the masses to MOTORSPORT culture..."
Mr.Greenawalt, it's nigh time you stopped playing safe. Take a dive into the realm of daring and opportunity. The short, groomed beard would then sprout out into full Brett Keisel territory...and that's exactly what I want to see...

Amen, brother.
A (hopefully) new design philosophy needs a new catchphrase, so when I heard Daniel uttering his eons-old mantra my first thought was that nothing will have really changed with FM6.
I'm really hoping pCARS gives Turn 10 pause for thought about the elements missing from Forza that make a mockery of the Motorsport moniker. I'd very gladly trade night and weather for pit strategy and properly structured race events.

Forza has been lucky up until now, very little competition on the Xbox for a more serious racer but I can see pCARS taking away a good chunk of the more dedicated players if the port is decent.

Eh, I think the more dedicated players are going to play everything anyway.

That's a big if. I have every confidence that the PC version of pCars will be great, but the console versions remain to be seen (the console version of NFS Shift 1 was very good, but Shift 2 was much, much better on PC). And it will be hard anyway to match the community functionality of Forza (although Forza 5 was lacking in this respect as well, with the absence of storefronts and overall leaderboards).

I'm guessing with the image of the car in a dark setting with it's headlights on we are finally getting some nightime action*

Where did the rumour concerning PG and the F1 licence come from?
Never considered it before but could honestly see that working, if it were a console exclusive built with the Forza engine I'd be happy for FM to plod on for now.

Nah, can't see it happening, first F1 license is very expensive, they have very strict restrictions on what you can and what you cannot have in the games, they demand you release games yearly. So yeah, seeing how F1 has put Codemasters on the brink of closure and has sucked all talent and passion out of them, I'd suggest all devs stay away from it, let Bernie suck himself. Codies should've stayed away from it and let Activision get it like they wanted, this way we would still be getting quality titles from CM and Bizarre Creations would still be in business.

Is it me or is does this look like Forza? Its that Ford event.

I seriously hope not. The swerve/handbrake turn at 1:20 looks hilariously awful.
The original Forza had much better physics.
nah, no way. just some cg render.
Dude, it's a scripted cheesy promo. Even if it is Forza 6 it's not gonna be an indication of in-game physics lol.
Dude, I know lol.
This.
Also I remember the rage that followed the trailer of FM3.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrW215cgMLU
the only thing that looked forza to me was the overhead shot and how the road was textured. definitely cg. and as mascot pointed out, pretty terribly animated cg.
and i hope people dont take things like this as evidence of day to night transitions. i doubt ford's unveiling of their supercar is taking into account features of the next forza game as a tease. this goes with all ford gt promo material, including the possible fm6 cover shot.

No the two Forza games on XO look better than that.
aisde from how the car moves/animates, no. the lighting, trackside detail, and driver detail look considerable better in that teaser. i'd be thrilled in fm6 looked like that.

opinions and all, but i'd argue you picked a very flattering fh2 shot (a game at 30 fps rather then motorsports 60 fps and which is also conveniently half hidden in darkness) and compared it to a less flattering show from the cg trailer. the lighting is far superior in the cg trailer and the environment looks better realized, neither of which is really demonstrated in the screen you chose (though you can see hints of the detailed background, fully modeled trees, and good lighting/reflections).
it doesnt match matter though, its clearly not fm6, so who cares?

Don't think so. I'm watching it now. Any actual news in it?
I haven't seen it. Watching now, thanks. I love my vehicles black (since I'm Batman and all) but that blue is HOT.
Nothing new about Forza Motorsport 6, but if you're interested in our partnership with Ford it's a good watch.
From my experience, I think it's unlikely that people following the genre are only interested in having one series to play at the expense of well-made alternatives.

I doubt it will. Head tracking was off by default so most people didn't even know it was there. Also, FH2 didn't use it.
I hope it's gone.

There we have it folks. Forza 6 in-engine game-play showing off the new desert location, lighting mode and really weird hands on a steering wheel. lol jk i hope that isn't really it

Same here. Got the game, love the idea of it, can't get into it.
Edit: Last racing game I really got into was PGR3, I think... bought loads since then. I think I just struggle to translate joypad to car movement, and struggle judging speed. Hell, I even had that mega expensive force feedback steering wheel for a while on the 360. And yet when I race in karts against my friends I usually win, so I've got the "real life skills", they just don't translate to in game judgement!

After playing around with it for a day......its a must buy.
Hell yes... Especially since I was coming from the original Fanatec shifters (the two little shitty plastic craps).

Gonna try and get one later this month. With the TH8RS being phased out I'd have expected more stock tbh.

On one hand its smart not to make to many, but after months of high demand you would think they would have increased production.

That is either Forza 6 or not so great CGI.
I'm guessing not so great CGI. Something about the animations just looks off.
if they do i hope they spend more time with it and its a bit more robust. i'd like tracking in more then just the x-axis.
