OK so I've been looking at where to order the game and I'm a bit confused, even after looking at the spergy posts on the FM forum by ManteoMax. So it looks to me like the only way to get the Deluxe or Ultimate editions are digitally from the Xbox Store. Stores like Gamestop, Bestbuy, Amazon etc. all have only the regular version available. No big deal, BUT I must have the BMW M4 Team Forza pre-order car. Because. But this car is only available from retail store pre-order. But I can't figure out which store. Looks like Gamestop gets the STi and Amazon has the Hellcat, but which one has the M4? But even if I get that info, its still pretty much useless because I don't see the point in NOT getting the Ultimate edition, which won't have the car I want. I know in previous games, the pre-order cars are opened up for DLC purchase a few months after the game releases, but I WANT THE CAR AT RELEASE!!! I guess the only option is to buy the digital Ultimate edition, then the DLC code off loving Ebay or something. Why the gently caress wouldn't they release the Ultimate Edition at retailers so people can get the cars they want? /

Just gonna copy/paste a few things that I've seen people here asking about, and some stuff I found interesting. Source - FM6 does not have centralized storefronts but has improved the ability to track the use of your files by the community - FM6 does not have an auction house feature. - Clarkson not in...Stig's Digital Cousin is in...Richard and James continue to do voiceovers along with other "automotive celebrities" - Tokens will not be in FM6 at launch but may return as a matter of player choice - Qualifying - - - not included, but FM6 adds warm-up laps - Tag, Cat & Mouse, Bowling (obstacles), Soccer - Car ahead/distance indicators will be making a return in Forza Motorsport 6. !!! - There are no tracks with night + rain at the same time. - Sharing and Gifting cars and credits are not features in FM6 - Quicksand has been removed and interactive tire barriers added to limit corner cutting and wall riding - FM6 does not have searchable public lobbies but you can make your own and invite others ...and finally - Forza 6 will not have car clubs," but new Leagues system puts players together based on skill and temperament. Well poo poo

Yep. e: I feel like I should clarify myself. The reason I'm upset is because in the previous versions of Forza, the brick and mortar stores sold the "best?" version of the game, Ultimate Edition, and you had a chance to get whichever pre-order car you preferred by purchasing at the right vendor. For FM6, from what they've announced so far, you can only get the Ultimate Edition by pre-ordering through the Xbox Store. But you can't get this version with any of the Team Forza pre-order cars. You can only get the BMW M4 Team Forza (or whichever of the other 4 Team Forza pre-order cars) by purchasing from a brick and mortar store. The kicker is that these stores don't have the Ultimate Edition, only the "worst?" version of the game with the least perks. I know I'm being Spergy and Awful, but why make it an issue at all? How hard would it be for them to include a code with the Ultimate Edition, send to your e-mail, that's good for a Team Forza car of your choice?

It's not mutually exclusive. In FM4, which had the numbers, the game still showed cars in your mirror when they were behind you. I'm sure the cars will still be there in FM6  Also, I'm not sure if you've ever played Gran Turismo on the Playstation, but Forza has always been the more casual of the two, so all the poo poo you're advocating for would likely be implemented in the next iteration of that series rather than the next Forza game. GT is much more likely to have qualifying, pit boards, etc.

That Volvo Polestar should be fun. Also pretty cool: 2014 Nissan Juke Nismo RS And then there's the Bowler and the Willy's Jeep that were in Horizon 2. Car list is coming together quite nicely. Lots of good stuff in there.

I didn't go crazy buying cars, just bought a handful in each game to bump myself up to the next threshold. I won't have the full 25 million CR, but I'll have maybe 8-10 million CR which should be plenty to start out. Even a couple million should be enough. When FM5 came out, they hosed up the payouts because they were pushing the microtransactions. Once they got rid of that, no one really complained about gaining credits any more. Especially if you get VIP (double credits) you'll be fine. I really don't think earning credits will be a huge grind like when FM5 first came out.

holocaust bloopers posted:Willow Springs would be nice. I agree with you but I bet the licensing costs for these cars in particular are astronomical. The Lotus car has Microsoft sponsorship so I'm sure that plays into it. I bet the cars from the lower spec series aren't that much though. Hell, they have the whole loving Formula-E grid. It would be cool to see 5 or 6 of the old OLD race cars though. At least it looks like they're trying.

Oh, well I totally agree with you on that. Setting up custom lobbies/single player races is a pain in the rear end. In FM4 I have a badass PT Cruiser, I forget if it's in C or D class, and when I won public races with it people would be SO MAD it was great.

Ugh, not a fan of that. Track is too short. Anything with decent speed is gonna be sub-one minute lap times. Imagine that with 24-car grids. Gonna be a Trulli Train around the whole track. Track is narrow and difficult to pass on. Not a problem for good drivers, but playing it in public lobbies is going to be very frustrating. I know the track is popular and everyone likes it, but it's not a good pick for this game. T-10 made a bad choice on this one. They already had an awesome track representing New England, just give us that.

I don't think this week's car list update was posted in this thread yet: Forza Week 5 Garage Highlights are they're bringing in actual BTCC cars. Aside from that, the only new car I spot on the list at a glance is the '15 Jag XFR-S. e: was the D-90 in FH2, or is that new also? code:

This week's Forza Garage is out and there are a couple cool new BMW race cars - the BMW Motorsport 3.0 CSL and the Z4 GTE. A quick glance at the rest of the list doesn't reveal anything new to the series aside from the Indy cars, which are 2015 models and I think FM5 has what, 2013 ones? Maybe 2014? A bunch of other numbered racers that have been in previous games, and a bunch of other stuff from the past games. The VW Van from Horizon 2 is here. code:

I don't think anything official has been said. There was some statement about Porsche coming to Forza in 2016, so best hope is a DLC pack like they did in FM4 as far as anyone knows.

Oh, cool. That 2015 Nismo iDX NISMO is the concept they came out with a while back that was supposed to get back to the simple, lightweight idea of the Datsun 510. I guess it'll never see production, but cool to see it in game. Wonder where it will be classed.

I actually like the mix of both. I think it's fun to have the race cars to tear around in, and I also like the old weird cars that no one in their right mind would race. Then V8 swap them and give 'em fahv-hunnert-horsepower

TheScott2K posted:Including makes with only one model is a great way to make your car select screen look bigger than it is. If they don't change the car select screen from a line of all the cars, like FM5, to a line of the manufacturers, like in FM4, I will be super pissed. It sucks to have to hit the trigger a ton of times just to look at your Volkswagens, etc. Hopefully they only put that in 5 as some sort of "trick" due to the lower number of cars at launch.

They also noted that they're having Mark Skaife (retired, V8 Supercars Hall of Fame driver) do voiceover "for the Mount Panorama Circuit" so I dunno what kinda stuff they've got for the specific tracks planned, but that will be new as well. This brings the car count to 445, including all the pre-order and bonus cars. I wonder if the "450+" includes those, or if that's the number for the base game.

If you do the demo, you get the Ford GT (the new one) added to your garage in the full version. So don't skip it if you want that car for free. Not that credits should be a problem in this game.
