I played Forza 5 to get more Rewards points this week, I'll try to compare grip if I can at GC.

Also, I'll try to get directfeed audio, I couldn't manage to get any sound last time at E3 (they used Elite pads, but the headset was getting sound).

 

[Gestault]

I'm hoping we see the last handful of tracks revealed at Gamescom. T-Minus two more days...

Really hope we get at least one Japanese track, and of course Monza.

 

[callmeJackz]

Still debating whether to get the G920 racing wheel when it releases. I currently have the cheap Ferrari 458 Spider wheel set up to the Wheel Stand Pro V2. It's alright and gets the job done, but would like a feedback wheel for Forza, especially since 6 has rain now

 

[Grassy]

Have they said anything about driving model?
I hope there is more grip in Forza 6 than 5. I can't really push cars in 5 on wheel. They are sliding too much.

I think the grip level is pretty much spot-on in Forza 5. I've set some pretty fast times in RWD cars, with no assists, up until about S700 then I need traction control. This is how I see the grip levels in the past games.
Forza 2 felt too slippery.
Forza 3 had a ton more grip(maybe too much).
Forza 4 was back to being slippery.
Forza 5 feels just right to me, mostly. AWD cars feel a bit off.

5 felt like it had less grip than 4 to me.

 

[TheAdmiester]

5 felt like it had less grip than 4 to me.

Definitely. I remember being totally shit at the Forza 4 demo because I wasn't used to the slipperyness. Once I got used to it it felt great, but Forza 5 is even slippier and I'm still not used to it almost 2 years later.

 

[Gestault]

I feel like it's asking too much for a completely rebuilt Fujimi Kaido, just because of the length, but I really do love that track. The narrow hill segments were a blast in LeMans style cars (all grip, speed, and no hope for drifting). I really do miss it. The leaderboards for the different stages were superb.

 

[Paladin CL]

Are we sure about this?

Not that it matters much as the collectors editions have been getting worse across the franchise since 3, but I've got every CE/LE since 2.

Yes, it was confirmed and I hate thier choice, I have every collectors/limited edition of Forza, the third one was the best.

 

[TylerDurden4321]

They changed the Forza Rewards program:

Also there will be WEEKLY and overall DOUBLED rewards (at least) in August (source).

My only problem is, that I was Tier 6 with 6000pts and got 1,500,000Cr every month, but this time (it should be a quarter of my previous payout, because it's only for the first week but doubled, right? So 750,000...) I only got 400.000Cr and it says, should I get to Tier 7, there would be 200,000Cr more waiting for me this week. That would be a 50% increase from Tier 6 to 7... it used to be 1,500,000 -> 2,100,000Cr from Tier 6 to 7, if I remember correctly.

There is something I'm not getting here and I hope it's nothing fishy. Also, I don't want to redeem rewards every week... maybe if they had a better news and community spotlight and whatnot section, but not as it is right now.

Without some tuning setups ("noob" setups from worm) I can't really drive comfortable in Forza 5. Maybe I am just bad but I play a lot of sims on all platforms and it is always Forza 5 that takes most time to adjust to it's driving model.
From lack of better word I would say that Forza 5 driving model is too delicate/soft.
I also think that Forza 5 have less grip than 4. I noticed it right away even with gamepad.
Race cars are ok though.
I am also not saying that it is bad because driving is really fun especially after some practice time and with setups but I would really like to see at least little grip bump.

 

[Lima]

Gonna finish 2000/2000 on Horizon 2 later today.

Then I'm gonna load up each Forza and check how many cars I have in each game. Wanna make sure I have at least 300 in each to start out with that 25 million credits goodness in 6.

Yea, I got only 400,000 at T6, too.

 

[terrible]

I'm now something like 53 points away from tier 7. I might as well see what I have to do to get those extra points then I guess.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Cool, I'm tier 8 now.

 

[Klocker]

shit... me too .. crazy

LOADS less.

 

[saladine1]

They did say there was a theme to GC so we might actually see German content announced this week.

But yes, Suzuka would be a Japanese track I would love to see return to Forza.

 

[MouldyK]

If only they could fix my Forza 3 and Forza Horizon 1 Points...

 

[0racle]

as someone who has never focused on the forza rewards I am currently sitting at tier 5? with 2762 points. Will I remain at tier 5 or be bumped?

also what should I be doing before forza 6? is there some milestone that must be met to get a huge reward? I see tones of people collecting cars or something? please enlighten me comrades !

Is there a guide on how to do this in f5 and h2?

 

[soundscream]

Cool, I'm tier 8 now.

I was 78 points away from tier 8 this morning, so I started going for achievements I never did in FM5. I feel so Zorbs dirty, achievement hunting is so unbecoming.

 

[watdaeff4]

I was going to skip this all together, then the more I read and watched.........Ultimate edition pre-ordered

yes I realize I'm part of the problem

Step 1: Find Cheapest Car.

Step 2: Buy it until you have 300 Cars in Garage. ;D

Yeah, I was trying to resist it...but i'm weak. xD

 

[willbsn13]

Just noticed, the car in the silhouette, what is it? It can't be Doms Charger from Furious 7 (which was in FH2), that car doesn't have that lip spoiler on the back and the shape is a little different.

Or am I looking into things too much in anticipation for tomorrow?

Edit: This is for the Forza 6 F&F Car Pack btw

 

[Klocker]

Righteous

 

[Dice]

I'm totally confused by my rewards points with Horizon 2. The days played doesn't seem to line up with reality at all, and the gamerscore seems to include something other than achievements because right now it's at 2443 and it seemed to randomly grow anyway. I cleared some achievements and with those included it needed 122pts to reach 5 and now I haven't played today and it's at 57pts to 5, and that's after the new-system jump to hit 4.

 

[JackAubrey]

I'm not bothering trying to buy 300 cars in Horizon in one go, too dull to sit mashing the buttons when buying cars in FM6 will be easy.

But what I am doing is now every time I play a race in FH2 I buy a new car for it. I'm finding it interesting as I'm driving lots of cars I might not have otherwise tried.

I usually did that and near the end, I bought every car I could over the 2 Month Period I played it, so getting from 230 cars to 300 cars this morning while listening to Podcasts was fine.


Now Forza 5? That crap is gonna take a while as you can't sort by price...

 

[OrangeOak]

That's a great news. Thanks for the link!

 

[GlamFM]

I´ll be playing this in 2 fucking days - CAN`T WAIT!

I don't really care about that bonus, as it's not hard to get lots of money anyways. Buying cars is already pretty tedious with how clunky the store is.

Kind of expecting to see the E3 car and track combos again.

Hope not though.

more then a month from release.........I'd say nope.

I'm 1400 points away from tier 8 i'm not going to make it

Shame you don't get any points for buying digitally?

I'm 8 points away from tier 7. I want that damn Risi Competizione 458!

 

[VCL]

so it will run at 50fps?

60 fps

If you're referring to the leak from the Japanese Xbox site, that was just a typo or something.

Omg..buying cars is sooooooo slow on f5. Kill me.

Yeah, kicking you back to the Car is not needed...

...at least Forza Horizon 2 asked if you wanted to stay in the Storefront.

 

[saladine1]

So, are we expecting any new features to be announced during GC or is it just going to be cars/tracks?

I really want to know whether the tuning/upgrades/customization elements have been expanded upon.

We need a better way of sorting through cars. Long lists (vertical or horizontal) aren't the way to go.

Really, really hoping for customisable career race lengths, proper pit strategy and pre-race qualifying sessions. That holy triumvirate would work wonders to boost FM's serious sim claims.
