Does any sim feature flawless flag/penalty rules involving AI? I'm sure making the two systems play nice is a helluva challenge.

You are playing the wrong game

I'll play it and have a good time with it. It's that even Turn 10 acknowledges how lovely their car progression or whatever is by how they throw credits at the player.

It's just frustrating for me because I prefer spending my game time in quick races or time trials. Even PCARS, a game I'm pretty fond of, I haven't even touched the career mode. F4 was nearly there with having all of the cars be available in the arcade mode, but I still can't tune them.

If there's anything to take from the previous several pages, it's that no one game does everything for everyone, so buy every cool and good racing game.

Willow Springs would be nice.

Also the ability to have strictly Formula 1 races or GT3 spec ones. Forza's solution to class races is sparse.

No, I mean actually creating an offline race. Forza 5 doesn't allow anything beyond the letterered class choices when dictating the the AI field. Sorry. I could've phrased that better.

Buy 100 bucks of Xbox gift cards, get 15 bucks off. So far so good. That baller Forza 6 package for $85 is pretty decent.

edit: Got the codes and bought F6 Ultimate Edition. See you dorks on September 10th.

And elevation changes. While not drastic, they are there and make for a very dynamic lap. Every corner is unique and engaging in its own way.

I imagine that Playground Games and Turn 10's relationship is pretty loving tight. Those Porsche cars had to have been built with Forza 6 in mind.

Handling is supposedly lighter than Forza 5, which soured me on the game as nearly every car was an understeering pig without tuning.

I wonder what their logic was. Obviously some tracks are known for inclement weather or night racing. Maybe disk space?

Yea that's how they got around the Xbox one's limited power by pre-rendering the track and weather condition. You'll recall Cubey's temper tantrum from a month or so ago regarding this. I just wonder why there aren't more combinations. Maybe in the future we'll get more.

The thing I don't get is that Project Cars is on the xbone and it can do those things. Furthermore, forza horizon 2 is on the xbone, uses the forza 5 engine, and can do those things.

Pcars performs poorly on the Xbox one. 60 FPS is a rare occurrence. FH2 is a locked 30 fps. Forza 6 is a locked 60.

So yes they have dynamic weather and lighting but at a significant cost. I personally think FH2's solution is much better. Pcars can chug on the ps4 too. Fps drops and tearing occur regularly in even day conditions. I've only played pcars at a locked 60 with weather on my high end pc.

30fps is fine in Horizon, because it's not a sim.

60fps in Motorsport is critical and it's the reason Forza is easily the best racing game on any console, because it maintains a 100% locked 60fps at all times, so your physics calculations (the portion where the tires meet the ground) is exactly consistent 100% of the time and is never affected by dipping shitshow frame drops due to overextending the engine to get in EVERY feature instead of just THE ONES THAT WORK.

I'm fine with Turn 10 ditching any feature that hurts the 60fps lock. Which is why there's no weather or time of day changes dynamically.

60fps uber alles.

yea, I can't be mad at Turn 10's absolute demand on a 60 fps lock. An absolute rock steady frame rate at either 30 fps or 60 fps is very nice. I'd even go as far to say that something like Driveclub or FH2 plays better than PCARS because the former two are locked at 30 whereas PCARS likes to hover anywhere from 45-60.
