Forza Horizon 6 - General Discussion

[PLAYERS86]

Just my thoughts. If they added the following to the update 6 in collaboration with 7-Eleven:

1956 Lotus Eleven
2009 Lotus 2-Eleven
2016 Lotus 3-Eleven

I would really bloom like a Lotus flower. 🪷🤣

Life is but a dream, where everything is sweet and lovely.
The game is now perfect, you can all stop complaining, we've got all we need.*

*Except for the fact that they've left the dash lights on all the time.

Unless the stance has changed, there was a difference in agreeing to use it & actually approving the results.

Game Developers "Found Out At the Same Time as the Public" About NVIDIA DLSS 5

Much has been said about NVIDIA's recent DLSS 5 announcement, with many criticisms of the tech stemming from how the neural rendering potentially alters the artistic vision and tone of the game. While NVIDIA insists that developers remain in full control, and that the game studios were involved...

Capcom Responds to Resident Evil Requiem DLSS 5 Backlash: "We Got the Design Right"

When NVIDIA first revealed DLSS 5 and its neural rendering, a lot of the online backlash that was leveled at the feature centered around Capcom's Resident Evil character, Grace, and how DLSS 5 changed her facial features. Now, in a recent interview with Eurogamer, Koshi Nakanishi and Masato...

Everything you posted relates to unsupported games. It is currently supported in just one game, NBA 2K27. Do you have any info saying that the devs of that game are unhappy with how it looks with DLSS 5?

Looking forward to painting the W1 with its numerous advanced paint layers, which I saw a screenshot of on a Facebook group.

I did consider adding a slightly exaggerated disclaimer that even the most brain-rotted of clickbaiters who scour forums for easy content couldn’t ignore, but then I thought, What’s the point?

If folks can’t distinguish between one’s speculation and verifiable facts(of which there isn’t any currently on this subject), then frankly they only have themselves to blame for setting themselves up for disappointment.

I get the feeling the more "influential" of these Youtubers purposefully spew their garbage as fact to get clicks. Then turn around and blame the devs when the cars they stated were going to be in the game are in fact not going to be in the game.

Gone are the days when people actually did research to find the truth and just believe whatever their favorite Youtuber, Streamer, celebrity, etc. says. It's sad really and is probably a large contributing factor to all the hate over video games, movies, etc.

As I get ready to say goodbye to Season 4, it’s good to see the bugged daily from a week ago did, in fact, get fixed with this last update, and I am back to 100% completion in the weekly playlists.

 

[shaboo]

After the developers announced that they would solve this problem and how, I had no doubt that it would happen exactly like that.

 

[Johnny Caisse]

I wonder what's with the complete developer silence these days. I hope that means that they'd work on some things the community wants. I've seen some speculation about Turn10 and Playground Games doing this for desperate fan retention as they work to improve the game but I'd say that's to be taken a whole bowl of salt.

I've been kinda assuming a lot of the team has been dragged into Fable to get it out the door, and then back to FH.

I sure hope that last part is the case but their lack of official response or even a formal feedback channel besides Jira doesn't help. Maybe we could do with a praying hands reaction emoji for this forum.🙏🏽

Their JIRA is under-utilised. There are several topics marked as Open despite said bugs being resolved. It feels like they have nobody curating the portal over there.

It’s also clearly not designed as a discussion platform which contributed to the “lack of communication”, as does the Discord being a thing that is inaccessible to casual browsers and things like Google search results.

They probably have valid (likely monetary) reasons for the shift away from their forums but it’s not helped the culture around these games really.

They've got nobody writing the witty titles for the Daily Challenges either. S4's were dismal and perfunctory, and S5 looks like it's continuing in that vein.

MS's cuts at work, I fear.

It's not just the titles that were pathetic, the dailies themselves were easy too. They were all very generic.

They reminded me of when you've no internet and want to play and it just does the default ones.

...oh my gods you probably just hit on the actual content of the update.

40 point car update. The theme is 'Seven/Eleven', a quirky grab bag of cars with 7 and 11 in their names. 20 point car has 7 in its name, 40 point car has 11 in its name or adds up to it.

We can assume we're getting the Lotus 3/Eleven thanks to an accidental leak. So the 40 point cars would likely be the Elevens, making it partially a Lotus manufacturer update, and we'd be seeing cars like the Triumph TR7 in the 20 point slot. Doesn't really set the Series reward headline car in stone but... we'll have to see.

[Famine]

We know we're getting the Lotus 3/Eleven thanks to an accidental leak.

We've seen them do this with cars before, so the best we can say here is "we can probably assume we're getting". "Know" is very much a leap.

Let's also add the Lotus Type 117 (second-generation Elise, Rover K Series) to the list of sevens and elevens

Ooh, there's also the Lotus Seven from the same time period as the original Lotus Eleven. You could probably put together an all-Lotus manufacturer update for Horizon Meets and the 7/11 collab just from their catalog alone.

Isuzu 117 Coupe debut confirmed (dozens of youtubers and facebook posters look at my comment as gospel)

 

[Justuxful]

Monthly rivals being with the W1 and not the Conti GT Speed is an interesting choice.

I think this might be the first time a DLC car is used for that, bit of a lame move imo.

But whatever gets those car pass sales I guess, would’ve been great to try the Bentley.

 

[Digolgrin]

Hard confirmation: NO HORIZON STORY FOR SERIES 6. Tradition has been broken.

Also, opportunities to acquire more expensive Autoshow cars are in the Playlist! The C-X75 in particular is required for the Winter weekly challenge, so all you have to do is complete a Seasonal Championship in two weeks and it's yours.

EDIT: Aw hell nah they actually SHRANK Temptation Highway for this. The Test Drive plinth is taking up that second Aftermarket spot.

 

[Famine]

Tricky treasure chest this week:

Spoiler

 

[Digolgrin]

Please, please, please, PLEASE don't tell me the Seasonal Trailblazer requires upgrades to do right. It requires a three-star run, and I'm not seeing anything in my garage that looks capable of doing it stock. D:

It's about your line. Don't try to go through the cleared path at the start; set a map marker for the paved road and aim right through the trees for it. Then follow it to the finish.

Looking forward to painting the W1 with its numerous advanced paint layers, which I saw a screenshot of on a Facebook group.

Oh, they're numerous alright; You can barely make out the difference painting said layers do on about half of them, though.

In licensing world news, Top Drives (a card collection game for those who are not familiar with it) just lost the McLaren license, first time this happens in 9 years. Regarding the game, owned cars will stay, but they can no longer be obtained.

Not very related to Forza, especially since we just got the W1, but if we join the W1, the Top Drives thing and the Senna still missing in FH6...well, what a weird situation anyway.

 

[Mae Borowski]

Just took a peek at the engine swaps for the G40 and the first one is a 50bhp 0.7 1 cylinder engine? Anyone have any idea what this could be fron

A swole Peel engine?

I can think of plenty of motorcycle engines that fit that description, but very few car engines.

Standard Peel engine is below 100cc, I doubt itd be that. Bike engine seems the most likely candidate tbh

Edit: Nevermind I think I mightve pinned it down. The spec sheet all matches with the Sierra 700R

 

[Digolgrin]

Full list of British Automotive aftermarket cars, not including the Wheelspin exclusives! Only seven expensive Autoshow cars in the lot, and I actually do have all of them now thanks to convoy hopping and a sneak peek at what was available before the dealership went live.
