Could this perhaps be the end of the V12 swaps, since it's crossed over?

The "Not Rally!" paragraph could maybe be a hint that rally tires will not be the meta tire choice anymore 🤔

A thought for discussion: something I am hoping they'll work on for Horizon 6 is streamlining and integrating the user experience a little bit better. I've felt the Horizon series has had some really poor UI/UX decisions over the years, especially since Horizon 3. And, many of those have stuck with the series and snowballed as they've added more content.

For example, #Forzathon, the Festival Playlist, and Accolades have all felt really half-baked to me, and I think a large part of it is because they don't have a lot of integration with each other. It's been discussed in this thread before, but I think it would make a lot of sense expanding the #Forzathon concept by awarding points throughout the Festival Playlist and through completing Accolades (and/or stamps in your Stamp Book) and then expanding the shop to include more cars as well as vanity items and Wheelspins.

The Auction House is in desperate need for a UI/UX update as well, but that's beating a long-dead horse.

I'll throw in two more small things for good measure: I would really like the radio stations to actually work like radio stations instead of poorly looping the same song over and over until you finish an event. Also, it would be so great if you stayed facing the same direction every time you swapped out your car in Freeroam.

I had heared rumors that we could be having another developer direct this month (March) or in the next, i wonder if it will have a deep dive on FH6 gameplay

  • More "normal" swaps instead of the copypasta V12
  • Rally Tires are locked to only dirt races

I Hope they keep V12 just for the sounds and fun, just giving more options and nerfing them

never get the hate for small fun cars, sometimes they are more fun than the hyperfaster 999XR Hypersuperdupercars
i hope the macaron returns too, it would fit so well since it is already a kei-like car

Couldn't agree more.

Forzathon points felt very useless in FH5, I think I used them only a couple of times. Likewise with the Forzathon shop.

I would love if they put Forzathon points in the Festival Playlist and Accolades, like you suggest. I'd also put them in wheelspins too. It would mean wheelspins would have some value. People would want to earn them - rather than just let them stockpile like in FH5. I think I'm sitting on like 300 unused wheelspins.

I think that would only work if the Forzathon shop could introduce some long-term rewards (that aren't FOMO or time-limited) that people actually would be after collecting

Like say 10,000 points for an exclusive Forza Edition car. Or 20,000 points for an exclusive customization option on a car etc. And you could pad it out with vanity items, exclusive clothes, exclusive house props etc.

Just don't make it time-limited and I think that would be a good way to get use out of some of the redundant economies in FH.

Agree with everything said, a move away from the 'tile' UI design is needed, feels very dated now.

I really hope the radio stations get given a bit more attention too, really fell off with FH5 in many ways. As you said the way it will just loop during events was terrible after a pretty short time, constantly playing the same snippets as the event would load too. The quality of music has declined heavily too, and not in a 'music was better back in my day' type of way. FH1 and 2 were both extremely well curated, perfectly fit the festival scene of the time, while also being a mix of big names (New Order, Arctic Monkeys, Phoenix) and acts who were smaller at the time and since blown up in popularity (Jungle, The War On Drugs).

By the time FH4 rolled around the soundtrack started to feature far too many generic cost cutting royalty free tracks, with the few large names to feign an impressive track list. The soundtrack lost all connection with the current festival scene and felt like more in line with something like Rocket League, although I guess that could've been on purpose.

There's so much interesting music that has come out of Japan, and the Japanese music culture is fantastic. I really hope they hit the mark with it, and dont just settle with having a few J Pop act tracks.

+1 on this.
I have more fun with S**tboxes, Keicars, Oldtimers & youngtimers than the "insert vaporwave brand" 1000+hp hypercar or "last version of Lamborghini Huràcan"

And in Horizon 6 i expect tons of Japanese Oddites like the Pike Cars in the last DLC of Forza. Those are quite fun to drive, tune and customize.
