Most likely someone forget to change those manufacturers thumbnail. I believe those are leftovers from FH5. There are quite a few leftovers like those on FH6 for manufacturers that aren't featured on FH6 yet.

Regarding playground games modes that got removed from FH6 i managed to find these :

With these i think the game modes are already preplanned.

There is also this line mentioning Wildlife Photo which is not available yet in the game.

There is also mention of "Yangwang" in part manufacturers string. In case you don't know, Yangwang is a Chinese hypercar manufacturers (part of BYD) with their only model so far is Yangwang U9. The car can also "Jump" and "Dance" as part of its party tricks.
So any updates on leaked cars maybe the 2018 f90 m5 or g90 m5 or maybe insingia vxr ?

It's an Austin Princess!
 
I was expecting the XJS FE to take a bit more effort than it actually took to get it... Just about 5 minutes worth of doing a single drift lap in different cars. Still, it's a cool car and it's easy to slide around.
 
I recall the first time I photographed an animal I had a pop-up saying to check my Journal for progress. Since it's never happened again, I figure it's been removed in an update.

Now do the AE86 Forza Edition. I think that took me around twenty hours of gameplay.

Mercifully, for the Jaguar you don't even have to drift the tracks if you're in a hurry. I was expecting a minimum score requirement.

[EDIT] Perhaps ironically, their making this section easy to complete actually helps people get the Trueno faster who don't want to (say) ✪✪✪ all the drift zones.

The scoring zones are a really great addition and was long overdue, they should implement them in drift zones and online drift championships too, though unfortunately I expect that's gonna be saved for the next game...
 
I hope the PR stunts aren't all bloody drift zones.
I wouldn't be surprised, though I think more likely Seasonal Drift Attack will be in the playlist for the entire Series. It's what they did for Hide and Seek when that was added--they just ran it in the Playlist every week.
 
Looks like someone did an oopsie and showed the Lotus 3-Eleven (a car that isnt in the game) as a 40 pts reward for tomorrow's playlist. It has a FH6-style thumbnail so... future playlist car?

Not if the silhouette shown is that of the actual car.
 
It’s possible and this is just speculation here, that IF the Lotus 3 Eleven is on the way in the future, @PJTierney theorised over in the Casual Racing Mondays Discord it might be part of the 7 Eleven Collab update. 🧐

I can see why for obvious naming reasons, but again it’s speculation, nothing concrete at the moment. 🙂
 
Just quoting this here to mention to those in the UK that there is an event of some kind for National Games Day this Saturday. There's a special wristband linked to the day.
The British Motor Museum is running some kind of special event for National Games Day this Saturday 12th September in conjunction with FH6 which I may try to attend (apparently there's a special wristband for the day as well :D):

Also, did anyone manage to complete the Launch Event survey that was sent via email last month?. I missed getting to it the first few days, since when it's been stuck with a message saying there is a pause while the survey is reworked... grrr.
 
The thing people like you don't seem to understand is that video games have art direction for a reason. The constant thing DLSS has done every time they showcase it is warp a game's art style in the name of "realism".
If you watch the Nvidia video about it, they say the devs can control how it looks for their game. It only officially works with games where the devs have approved the result. If people want to hack it into unsupported games, that's up to them, and presumably they like the way it makes it look, just like people have been changing the look of games with reshade for many years. If you don't like it, just don't hack it into unsupported games, but if you're playing a supported game, it looks how the devs want it to look.

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

According to game developers from both Capcom and Ubisoft who spoke to Insider Gaming, while the individual studios may have been involved in marketing DLSS 5, the teams who worked on them were just as surprised by the results as the rest of the gaming community. A Ubisoft developer is quoted as saying "We found out at the same time as the public," while developers at Capcom expressed similar sentiments, stating that it was surprising to see Capcom, who has generally been protective of its IPs when it comes to AI involvement, getting involved in the marketing for DLSS 5. Further, the Capcom developers expressed concern at how DLSS 5 might change how Capcom approaches generative AI and its role in game development.

Now, in a recent interview with Eurogamer, Koshi Nakanishi and Masato Kumzawa, the game's director and producer, have responded to the DLSS 5 outrage and to the game's overall reception at and since launch. Addressing the DLSS 5 debacle, Kumzawa took the backlash as a positive indication, commenting that "the fact a lot of players commented they really liked the original design of Grace and didn't want to see it changed was a positive—it meant we got the design right," and that it was an indication that "Grace quickly established herself as a fan favorite." The Nakanishi and Kumzawa did not comment on previous allegations that Capcom had not involved game developers or even inform them of the potential changes to the character designs ahead of time.

I think I do agree with that, especially from the perspective of 'lol every car in the Playlist has either a seven or an eleven in it, aren't we so quirky' that @pclark06 put forward. But it makes sense too, it's a returning reward that's also a Horizon mainstay. They won't miss a chance to add it in, especially if it fits the joke they're trying to tell.

Those devs must be part of the left-leaning hive mind.

Guess this means licensing with Bugatti can finally be sorted out?

Possibly, it depends on what else happens behind the scenes. IIRC, when Stellantis merged with Peugeot in 2021, some of their sub brands (perhaps most notably Lancia, Alfa Romeo and Maserati) were in a weird space when it came to licensing for a couple of years.

For me, I could take or leave Bugatti as a whole. I'll always have a soft spot for the Veyron, but otherwise I haven't personally missed their presence in FH6.

Tbf that's because FCA Italy (which took care of Lancia, Alfa and Maserati licensing) was kinda of metaphorically on fire at the time (as I've learned since then, having met somebody who works around those parts).

It was, but corporate doesn't deal with licensing. It's all under PR's purview. The issue with Stellantis was that everything (bar Maserati, which had its own independent PR department) was under the same single PR team. Their overarching decisions affected how every brand was marketed.

As a whole, Stellantis became an absolute basket case (the UK teams were nice, but had their hands somewhat tied) and they put all licensing under review for quite some time - so only the existing contracts were left to run to their conclusions and no new ones were made - and it affected everything bar Maserati (because independent PR) and reportedly some of the American brands just did their own thing anyway to an extent.

I don't know why they relented (I don't even know why they decided to do it in the first place), but thankfully they did.
 
Six videos immediately pop up on YouTube screaming “Lotus 3-Eleven confirmed for FH6 in 7-Eleven collab!”
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. :lol:
