Forza Horizon 6 - General Discussion

[ykiki]

Me in 2010, after 15 years collecting over 600 J-Pop CDs:

I strangely get a Disco + Beverly Hills Cop vibe 😆

 

[Stupornaut]

Early classic city pop is pretty much just late '70s/early '80s jazz fusion, disco, R&B, "yacht rock," and other assorted studio-musician type stuff channeled into its own odd space. In other words, it's the kind of genre where people will cover Steely Dan in a sort of quasi-reggae mode and make it work somehow.

 

[Stang616]

i wonder if it is NPC car or if we will be allowed to drive it
i still have sadness for not being able to drive VW Fox and Mazda 3

The Mazdaspeed 3 has supposedly been spotted in the game, not sure if it's just an NPC car or not.

 

[Emick81]

I'm not watching, just hearing, podcast style.

That session of Tokyo in the rain gave me real Flashbacks to PGR4.

It all sounds pretty good.

 

[CarbonDaimon]

someone leaked one of the songs of the game intro

I can't stop listening to this song.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

DJS said he wont be posting his video until 7pm tomorrow but says it will be worth the wait.

At this point most of my wishlist/concerns are stuff at the margins I don't expect to be showcased. None of these are dealbreakers and most of it is kind of personal and nitpicky, it'd just be nice to have, and hopefully some of these are in the game but haven't been talked about yet.

-character avatars: will they be more diverse in age/body type/look, or is it going to be just a bunch of photogenic babyfaced under-30s with gym memberships? Also, will we be able to save looks/outfits? It'd be nice to actually have a bunch of different hot-swappable avatars/drivers for different contexts, like RPing a racing team or somesuch.

I was thinking of something similar. In FH6, our drivatar is supposed to be a tourist who just happens upon the Horizon Festival and gets caught up in the excitement, etc., so I'm hoping that we can dress up as a tourist (be it a middle-aged bald one like myself 🤣).

 

[GTvsForza]

I am actually wondering and hoping that avatar customization is more detailed (facial hair, eye color, etc)

That BRZ FE reminds me of the Regalia D-Type from FH4.

 

[Stupornaut]

That BRZ FE reminds me of the Regalia D-Type from FH4.

Or a competitor of the Local Motors Rally Fighter. (Not sure if that one's making it into the game, so it's good to see at least one car reminiscent of it.)

Any hints about Quartz coming back? Now would be the perfect time to bring it back!

 

[UKMikey]

Being Italian, and having at the time my Xbox set to Italian, I never noticed!

From what little I could tell he was even grumpier about the festival than Don Thompson

 

[MXH]

I think I’ll just have to disregard the wide roads and just simply embrace what PG has done with the map and Japan as a location. After watching at least six different previews, it looks absolutely stunning. Certainly a day one purchase.

The Legends Island also seems to have race track that (loosely) resembles the Magarigawa Club. A nice little suprise once you’ve finished the campaign I assume.

So, with that said…PS5, when? 😝

 

[sirjim73]

Furai?!??? Im speechless.

That was inevitable as soon as it appeared in FM23.

Not that it's any surprise, but we have the return of the Festival Playlist officially confirmed. It's just a case of seeing how it is structured now.

I'm going to be "ignoring" and "unfollowing" this thread now until release date as I don't want any additional spoilers to ruin my experience with the game. I know I'm going to be playing it anyway.

See you in about 5 weeks time.

In the meantime, someone has just published a pretty accurate recreation of the Nordschleife circuit in the Crew Motorfest Trackforge (albeit without the real world scenery) (their version of the Eventlab), so I'm off to do some laps.

 

[Ande3200]

The city looks good and possibly way better than it ever has in horizon game.

But i dont know it dosent excites me as much as i would hope.

Not looking like a day one buy for me, can possibly pick it up a year later maybe on sale.

 

[willbsn13]

Can't wait to rip around Tokyo in these.

I dont think this is the same EG6 as in the time attack pack, if they even have access to that in this build. Potentially another returnee confirmed?

Edit: After looking again, I think it is the time attack pack car. Nvm </3

I want to build an offroad muscle van in FH6. Hopefully there's a few more vans this go round, I have some great ideas.

Ram ProMaster a rebadged Fiat Ducato with a V6 engine. Sounds spicy doesnt it? They even made a Toyota version and its sold under many other brands as well.

I looked up the Dajiban scene and it sounds like they mostly use Dodge Rams. I hope the scene extends to other US vehicles like the GMC Vandura though. You ain't gettin' me up in no plane, Murdock. Pity the foo'.

A couple new things in the menu:

• Used cars?
• Treasure cars?

 

[HorizonVault]

The Honda Beat has a hardtop and soft top option by the look of things

I wonder if treasure cars are the ones we can find on driveways and the like, such as the heavily modified Mx5 from the first reveal.

What about No Top since its a roadster? That should be an option too.

Perhaps "Used Cars" is the Auction House this time around? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Auction House has been explicitly confirmed or denied in the lead up to FH6.

 

[space_wadet]

They refer to those as "Aftermarket Cars" specifically, so Treasure cars should be something else.

Used cars is probably the Auction house, I agree. But it's interesting that they changed the name, should mean there's a slightly different mechanic this time.

 

[HorizonVault]

I certainly hope so. We need many more top down options especially for models that have the option hidden in the files in FH5 but aren't enabled for no reason.

Treasure cars are abandoned cars you find around the map like barn finds basically but you find them parked up and need fixing up it was in a blog post a few weeks back.
