Anyone who hates mods is too young to have played unreal tournament and has no soul.

The rx7 has always been a drift happy bitch, but this is the first game engine where I can sort of control it

Remember too, it's not stock in the demo, All of the cars are upgraded and I don't know if they were just auto upgraded or if someone at T10 actually upgraded them properly.

The only cars I've tried out so far are the Ford GT in the first race that forces all assists on, the RX7, the GT86, and the Audi in rivals. I like it a lot more than 5. And since there isn't anything in 5 that's not already in 6 (they carried over every car, right?) I will probably just delete 5 after transferring over all of the vinyls.

if i actualy play the demo all the way through will it unlock rivals and not make me do the career over again or is it just going to keep making me restart the same baby races every time?

I may be remembering wrong, but every time you fire up the demo you have to do that ford gt race, then the first race of the career. then you can exit and go to the main menu. I might be mistaken about that second part, but you have to watch the movie and do the ford gt race every time you fire it up.

The only gap that comes to mind car-wise is there are no RUFs in Forza 6. We're supposed to get a Porsche DLC eventually. No RUFs or Porsches at launch is killing me though.

The only thing I didn't like about it was that every game needs a card collecting mini-game now thanks to the overwhelming success of EA's Ultimate Team. I assume there will be microtransactions around this too. That said, you aren't under any obligation to use them, and I do actually like the challenge mods.

That is pretty much why I dislike the idea. WE MUST CRAM A GAME WITHIN THE GAME. It's fresh, it's hip, it's new. I'll get over it on the 10th when I'm having an absolute blast driving all the cars. F5 was a mega turd.

Question, do we actually know why Porsche don't license their cars and only do DL packs on occasion?

They have an exclusive licensing deal with EA. Sometimes EA sublicenses to other games companies.

i don't think anybody knows for sure but my guess is EA wants to make money off the porsche license, while at the same time preventing any other racing games from shipping with the license. they have their cake and eat it too essentially

I loaded the demo for a second time last night and didn't have to watch the movie nor did I have to do the Rio race. I was able to go straight to rivals.

I think i'm redoing the entire career because I didn't complete it the first time and it doesn't save until you do or something

L_Harrison

Yeah you can go straight to Rivals after completing the demo career, though you still have to adjust the assists and everything else each time you load it up. Also, it's a pain restarting each Rival event just to only get a chance at one lap. But the real game is only a week away so whatever.

And Turn 10 has come out and said that there will be no microtransactions in Forza 6 at launch. Zip. Nada. That could change (like around Christmas when those rich 10-year-old brats get Forza from their parents and want all the loving Mods available), but for now no.

Edit: Also, the Rio course reminds me of the Macau street course in some areas and I expect 24-player online races to go exactly like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzU3M-run0o

Edit 2: And, someone discovered a photomode inside the demo:

Dewstain on Forza forums posted:

So I found a hidden way to snag pics from the demo.

When you get to rivals, you can go to the leaderboard and load someone's ghost replay. When in there, you can open Photomode.

You can take your pic, save it, etc, but you can't share it. It refuses to populate the "keywords" that allow it to upload to the server.

But, you can use the left small button on your controller (formerly the back button) to "Hide UI." This allows you to snag the pic you have lined up with a good old fashion "Xbox take a Screenshot".

Yeah, and I'm sure it's a complicated agreement... hence no Rufs (which I'm sure was a Porsche request) and they also probably want their brand to be more 'visible' than others in the game.

edit: because it's Ruf not RUF

There is a god. That was utter bullshit in past Forza games (I'm looking at you, F5) where the initial release had like 12 cars and you had to pay to gain access to the other 300. Milking us for all it's not worth :argh:

Except that's not how it worked out at all. Credits were plentiful from the start by just playing the game, especially rivals and online. Then to curb the bitching from people who had not even played the game they started paying out even more credits, made the most expensive car in the game free, and changed the policy on DLC cars so adding them to your garage didn't cost in game money.

Gutbomb is right, rivals and online play doll out mega amounts of credits vs the career in forza games. Also they loving give you like 4 million credits every month or something if you have a forza hub account

I reserve final judgment on F6 until I see how they classify and filter cars for races.

It's the last "how the hell isn't this in the game?" function. Just let me race with a full grid of gt3 or F1 cars.

car clubs aren't coming, there's some bullshit about leagues you can join or something. However, all you need to do is add all the goons to your friends list and you have a 'club' which will populate your rivals list. YW

How nice is that wheel compared to the Logitech G series? I've had a G25 before, and I liked the build quality, but mostly the assurance that customer support would back me up if anything happened. I'm looking to eventually get into Forza 6 with the xbone, but also get back into PC Sim racing so this is the wheel I'm looking at.

Not sure if there is a gaming peripherals thread active on the forums, feel free to redirect me there if this gets too OT.

God drat right. Unfortunately we all seem to be old and busy now. I was contemplating kicking off a SAEG thread for FM6 in private game servers but honestly I can't commit the time nor can I guarantee that I'd even be able to show up to every race so unless somebody is willing to do so lets just keep it informal in this thread.

Tell you what I do want though.

A series of races on night time tracks were we drive pre-90s super cars and listen to Kavinsky style music.

I'll be in the white Testarossa.
