Speaking of promotional DLCs. I now have all obtainable Forza Horizon 5 and 6 promotional DLC cars! Yes I know there is the GT Opi but that thing is no longer unobtainable even with a unused code so those 300 buck offers are scams as you cant get the car anymore.

A few days ago I did a comparison between the metal flake paint material in FH2 all the way to FH5. Same exact livery ported to each successive game, nothing changed between them, same values, ect. The first image is FH3 and the second is FH5. Hopefully the differences come through.

I don't quite know what they did since FH4 (when I first noticed this phenomenon), but the actual metal flakes look slightly worse as compared to FH2 and FH3. The differences aren't all up close either, the metal flake paint looks "deeper" in FH2-3, don't quite know how else to word it.

How's this relate to FH6 though? Well...I hope they've improved the metal flake paint in Fh6. Something a little closer to FH2-3's take on it would be very nice, and I would probably throw it on most of my cars if that was the case.

I really dislike how lighting affects the pearl effect paint in FH5. Yellows and greens take on a weird luminance, like it's bad HDR. Spoils the effect, when pearl paints usually have decent tonal depth.

I've always found yellows to be off in FH4/5. They're fixed in Motorsport so I've some optimism they're aware of the issue.
 
is the r34 rescanned or same as previous game?
I'm not sure

On a closer look, the bumper seems a little more defined and the brake light (center) seems larger in fh6. The keyhole is also less flat and doesn't look like it has the black rubber sealing ring visible like in fh6. The bootlid line also looks lower in fh6

Almost all of this could be lighting, LoD and materials though.

The shape of the bootlid is quite different, the tail lights appear to be shorter. the "Skyline" embossed text is narrower.

I'd put my money on another remodel.

On an unrelated note: what's the car on the left?
It could be the Valhalla, but it almost looks like a Mission X to me.
 
Aston Martin Vahalla Concept
That was the first car that came to mind... But the sides are throwing me for a tailspin, because they're not a perfect match for the Valhalla. Not for the Concept, at least.

Oh, well - whether it's the Aston or something else, there's not much to be gained from looking at grainy screengrabs.

The production Valhalla looks different from the Concept that we have.
 
What are the chances that they will rescan every outdated car model? They are on a great path already and I hope they continue on!

I'm going to say, realistically, no, just based on numbers and time. It doesn't mean they won't try, but just coordinating everything takes time - so likely you'll see some in FH7, more in FH8, etc. Of course, that's me just tossing out a guess.

So eventually everything will be up to date but you dont think its happening in 6 yet?
 
I'm thinking that some rescanned cars won't be available at launch, but will probably be in future Playlists.
