Someone who picks the cars must have a 94 miata. Traditionally they always put in the highest-trim and year for performance in a given body style. Same with the 79 camaro. Odd choices that stick out, but i dont mind.
That first-gen Miata is arguably much better to include in a racing game than the second or third generation.

I think Turn 10 has said that they have 3d scans of cars that are in a higher resolution than even the current gen consoles can use, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if a lot of the cars that appear in all three current-gen Forza games aren't just the same models and textures (with some refinements) getting ported from one game to another.

This is the smart way to do it, so you don't get stuck with GT's system of "premium" cars and a number of them being last-gen assets.

I was hoping to hold out until Black Friday for an xbone but this is shaping up to make that a difficult decision. I liked some of the FM5 that I've played on my brother's system, but it felt like a launch title. I'm hoping this has the scope and size of FM4.

So lame that the extras within the Ultimate edition can't be purchased separately. I want the blue console but that's missing out on that extra game content

isn't it just the fast and furious pack, or is there more? i plan on getting the game for free with all the bestbuy reward certificates i earned buying a laptop
VIP pack and the season pass. I'm sure they'll be available separately at some point, but as of now they're listed bundle only, and separately I'm sure the VIP pass will be more expensive than what it's actually worth, if FM4 was any indication.

I pre-ordered the FM6-edition Bone but it doesn't ship until the 15th along with the game. Played the demo last night on my brother's system.

Just hoping the system ships and arrives by the weekend of the release since I took a four day vacation off of work to play.

GT is Caeg for some evening/weekend EST races.

Tip:

If you're waiting for the game to install, and you play it before it's ready, you'll do the same race as the demo with the Ford GT. If the game isn't finished installing after that race, and you exit the game and come back, you're stuck doing that same GT race again.

So including the demo this is the third time I'm running the thing.

I don't think I'll be on before 11, and I am not sure what the electric cars are filed under. I have only got a few cars, but I do hope to get some racing in with you guys tonight.

Formula E has its own manufacturer listing. Pretty sure all the cars are identical aside from liveries.

Catalunya is a race track and that is about the only opinion I have on it. It's not good enough to be memorable and has no really great sections, it isn't bad enough to be miserable or have anything inherently wrong with it. As far as modern tracks go it is acceptable. Like Mugello, or Nurb GP.

Not sure how anyone can get up an appreciable amount of dislike for it, but also can't ever see it being anyone's favorite track or a place they particularly look forward to racing on.

e: until this post I never even thought about the fact that Mugello is gone nor have I ever seen anyone mention it. I bet that'd be the case with Catalunya if it disappeared as well.

I loved Mugello in 4 and miss it way more than Maple Valley.

I bought the Forza edition of the Xbone and put what felt like a ton of hours into 6 but I'm sure my completion percentage is still low.

Now I'm torn between a 50" 1080p with a 5.1 setup that includes 12" woofer towers, or a 27" 144hz 1440p screen with a GTX1080 that seems like it'll be able to max this game out with ease.

Haven't played Horizon 3 or any of the other play anywhere games - do the save files sync between platforms? Probably going to split my time between PC and xbone on this one

I haven't played 5 or 6 but I don't understand what you guys mean by "spins" in this context

6 had these giveaways (like a game show spin) either at the end of race series or when you leveled up, can't remember which, but they were frequent enough and they basically dumpstered you with cash and cars.

I like it personally, in a racing/car game one shouldn't look at x car and go "okay I'll never be able to afford that unless I grind out RPG-levels of playtime".

My favorite GT fact is that the original pressings of GT2 had a glitch where if you used the car wash a certain # of times (I think it was 100?) It would wipe your memory card

There were a ton of glitches in the early pressings (three revisions total, last ones were black and white disc labels). I accidentally wiped my memory card, twice, because I was rotating out 2-3 memory cards with the same file but different cars in each garage since one file only held 100? cars. So I'd keep copying the files between two and then trading cars between the other one to extend my capacity. Still loved that game so much that after clearing the data twice I started up a third blank garage.

I saw some random Youtube video where the guys were talking about the devs saying stuff about making the cars look good in 4k and it almostmade it sound like they were re-modeling some of the notorious old versions of cars that have made it from the first couple games through the series mostly untouched. Any word on that?

I hope this means that the Ford GT's speedo isn't still turbofucked.

I'm not surprised - the OG Bone (and PS4 too) have 2012-era hardware which wasn't even top end stuff five years ago.
