    Forza Motorsport 6 has been officially announced.

    No release date yet but history says it will probably be around this November.
    Gameplay will be revealed at the upcoming E3

    The new Ford GT is not only the cover car it will also be included in the game.


    Forza 5 was very light on content especially with tracks from Forza 4 being omitted and I really hope they step up and increase the tracks and cars this time. After playing games like Far Cry 4 and GTA5 on the Xbox One it really makes you wonder just how much Forza leaves off the table. I suspect they are only doing as much work that is needed to still make the profit they aim for. A lot will depend on how well Project cars turns out which I think is now set to release in March.

    Really hope they get to the levels that Forza used to be. The last one was really a slug fest trying to get through everything. Driving a ton of cars around the same 5 tracks, that was pretty boring.

    Agreed.

    Forza 5 was just thrown together to show off the new graphics capabilities of the new consoles... Really light in gameplay.

    Forza Horizon 2 though I though was great.

    I'd love to see a way of bringing them together... just incorporate some tracks you can drive to within the open world or something in addition to the open road races.

    Agreed! Would be fun if in that incorporated universe if the dealerships were different and you had to drive to the specific Ferrari, BMW, etc dealer to get the car you want.

    The new Forza 6 trailer just revealed at E3 today.

    Daytona is the track I want to drive the most and I see it in there. With a September 11th release date it looks like I'll get to
    drive Daytona in Forza 6 before I get to in Project Cars.You can also see Rio.

    After driving PCars probably what I'll like the most in Forza 6 is the car selection.

    We'll know in just a few short months if T10 upped their game.

    i wish they could get porsche's license, would love to drive the new 919 on leman after seeing how great it is in video. looks good so far, i wonder if the physic is being upgraded from forza 5 because i can't say that fz5 was all that impressive on that end.
    in terms of car selection according to brands, sadly real racing 3 is still better than most race sims in console or pc..

    One of the things I didn't like about Forza 5 was the way the AI cars brake early or in unexpected spots on the track. You can see they still do it in the Sebring video above when he runs into the back of the blue car. PCars got it right and it is so much fun to follow a car close in the preferred line into and around a turn making the pass on exit. Makes it feel much more like racing and not just avoiding cars while making a lap.

    Forza 6 does look really nice, Sebring at night looked awesome and I'm looking forward to the other tracks and extensive car selection. They just announced the F40 finally and I'm still hoping for the FXX which was one of my favorites and left out of Forza 5. They also left out another of my favorites, the Zonda R and they haven't announced it in Forza 6, yet.

    For those that may not know, there are a bunch of ways through Forza Rewards to get a nice jump on filling your Forza 6 garage at launch time. They make it almost too easy now to get cars. I remember having to grind in Forza 3 and 4 to get the most expensive cars and when I finally got them it felt rewarding. For Forza 6 I'll have many of them in the first hour or so. I'm currently Tier 8, VIP in the past and as soon as I fill my garages with 300 cars I'll have 25 Million Credits to start Forza 6.

    I'm going to get the Deluxe Anniversary Edition at $79.99 = Pre-Order Bonuses + F&F Car Pack + VIP


    Here is a list I copied from the Forza Forum that shows what you can receive at launch.
    I'll start with over 20 cars in my garage and 25 Million Credits to buy more BEFORE turning a single lap :eek:


    Players can start playing FM6 with a specified list of gift cars for their garage based on qualifying criteria listed below. Reward gift car models are not DLC cars unless specified.

    Forza Rewards
    Forza Rewards is a loyalty program that tracks your activity across the history of Forza games. By driving, purchasing DLC, unlocking Achievements and performing other tasks, you earn cumulative points toward your Forza Rewards Tier. The higher your Tier, the more rewards you can receive every month. Often these rewards will be credits that will help you afford more cars. The first Rewards for Forza Motorsport 6 are free cars when you start the game. If you're at least Tier 2 you'll receive one car; if you're Tier 8 you'll receive all 7 cars. See the Rewards section of this website or the Forza Hub app for details, see stats on your progress, and redeem rewards.
    Tier 2 - 2015 BMW M235i
    Tier 3 - 2012 Nissan GT-R Black Edition
    Tier 4 - 2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe
    Tier 5 - 2014 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
    Tier 6 - 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
    Tier 7 - 2014 Ferrari #62 Risi Competizione 458 Italia GTLM

    FM4 - 2009 Ford Focus RS
    FM5 - 2013 Ford Shelby GT500

    Build your garage count in FM3, FM4, FH, FM5, and FH2 (Xbox One) to get these credits in FM6:
    For each game with 50 - 199 cars in your garage, you’ll receive 100,000 in-game credits.
    For each game with 200 - 299 cars in your garage, you’ll receive 1,000,000 in-game credits.
    For each game with 300 or more cars in your garage, you’ll receive 5,000,000 in-game credits
    (maximum potential 25 million credits for buying FM6 cars etc)

    I preordered the Delux copy on Xbox Live. I've been playing since Forza 1. It's the only reason I bought an Xbox One this generation.

    There was an interview with the head of Turn 10 about this. He said in Forza 6 you have the option to turn off the drivatar AI and have traditional racing AI. Lets hope this helps with the early breaking and breaking randomly on a high speed straight.

    Edit. Found the interview. It's at 9:20

    I played the demo a little and its pretty fun. It doesn't save your progress though so watch out.

    For pre-ordering, can I only do it through the xbox store? I want the deluxe edition, but it sounds like it does not come with a hard copy. Does anyone know about this?

    Ya I'm not sure about the mods either.

    I just tried Sebring in the rain and wow is that tough. I think they did a good job with that.

    I guess I'll be buying my first console game ever where I don't own a hard copy

    I bought the ultimate edition which comes out 9/10/15. It is now 9/10/15 and I can't play it. Not off to a good start :mad:

    EDIT: I found a link describing the exact release time for each time zone. I guess I have to wait until 8AM. No big deal I guess but was looking forward to playing a little tonight :(

    Ya... I guess the entire world gets it at the same time. I thought it would release when my time zone hit midnight. No big deal.

    Did you also get the ultimate edition?
