Forza Horizon 6 - General Discussion

[Populuxe]

Also, someone has used the stadium as a size comparison to use vs the FH5 map. May not be 100% accurate.

Yeah, definitely not accurate. The stadium in Japan is HUGE compared to the one in Mexico. So scaling them to the same size makes the Japan map look much smaller.

Screengrab taken from JackUltraGamer’s preview video. I’ve never watched any of his content before. Probably won’t watch more in the future. Fairly typical “Look at me!” streamer stuff, but he did show some things I haven’t seen in other videos yet, so worth a look.

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

funny you mention 2010 and J-pop, beacuse this song gives me big Yasutaka Nakata (Capsule, Perfme) vibes, actually made me curious to check this duo songs beacuse now that perfume is in hiatus i wanted to check something on same vibe

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 🤣).

judging that the part of comunity (specially the most annoying vocal ones) think that the focus in avatars hurt the game, i wouldnt have my hopes up for anything besides more ways to use your avatar in game

Milk Talk post about FH6

they are about to have a big push of followers in their social media and they have no idea of it just yet lol
the song name is already popping up in youtube search lol

as someone that had put Toyota JPN Taxi into the forza forum request list, it makes me more happy than they anuunced the Nissan Figaro

ALSO PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE TOKYO 2020 OLYMPICS TAXI SCHEME

Spoiler: car photos

Treasure cars?

Though I'm not sure I understand the difference between Treasure and Barn finds

I assume the treasure cars are the new barn-finds, since in Japan barn-find cars are not that common and in some cases even find things found in trash can be cosndered a crime if the former owner report you to the police

What the hell is this? Looks like a monster truck.

First time playing? lol

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

please PG dont do it with me again 😭

This game is going to ruin my marriage and my social life.

Before someone else complains about the streets, i will leave a comment made by a japanese user:

What did they say? For some reason the translation doesn't show up.


Is this a thing in the previous entries? This looks awesome tbh (don't go to the comments section for sanity)

someone had posted that the japanese hype is huge for the game, while have too many overseas people saying that the game doesnt reflect Japan (probally a critique to the fact many westerns have a stupid vision of japan they try to portray), the comment about the streets was anotehr user confirming the poster points

by the way, i was doing a search and it is rumored among japanese users that the Japanese GachaRadio host may be voiced by Aoki Ruriko (Air Groove in UmaMusume, Tresa Corzone in Octopath Traveler, Nene Onemine in Komi-San, Riina Tada in iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls)

treat it as grain of salt though, just some of the last things left for we speculate about until launch hahaha

 

[Populuxe]

Happy for the map reveal. The full car list probably won’t be completely revealed until right up to release date. So the next big reveal (for me anyway) is the radio stations.

Kinda, Auto Drive was technically possible on FH5 with assists (FM8 as well), but only in races I believe.(Correct me if i’m wrong.)

Auto Drive in Freeroam + Cinematic Camera is pretty freakin’ sweet, will make cinematic B-Roll footage for content creators oh so much easier.

I might be in a minority here but they usually get muted at best 2 weeks into my game because of how repetitive they tend to be. I've discovered a lot of artists through the FH franchise, but the earworms get old quick enough.

Did some quick math on the car list.

At the moment, we are at 377 cars using Draugnimir's list. 550+ is the Day 1 number PG have advertised (Excluding DLC's)

So 377 - 14 (8 Time Attack Cars, 4 Italian Passion Cars, 2 Welcome Pack Cars) = 363 non DLC cars.

550 - 363 means there is around 187 cars to be revealed. Give or take a few.

Here are some of the manufacturers with a sizeable amount (At least 10 or more) of cars from FH5 that haven't been revealed in FH6 yet.

Aston Martin - 11
Audi - 13
BMW - 19
Chevrolet - 22
Dodge - 11
Ferrari - 36
Ford - 48
Jaguar - 16
Lamborghini - 23
Lotus - 10
McLaren - 13
Mercedes-Benz - 15
Porsche - 39
Toyota - 10
Volkswagen - 15

Total = 301

This isn't including any of the small makes as well, just the larger ones.

Yeah now we've seen the gameplay it's clear the stadium is twice the size at least.

That cinematic auto drive combo is absolutely incredible. What a great way to create content and show off builds/liveries.

 

[meganinja]

Intresting fun fact that i was wondering and it seems a tokyo journalist confirmed

one of buldings that will be in Forza doesnt exist anymore, but i assume its still on the game beacuse the zone now is a construction zone for quite few years already

It opened in 1934 and has been a Shibuya landmark for decades. Tokyu said it hasn't decided how the site will be used immediately after it ceases operations.

Tokyu will open a 47-story complex named Shibuya Scramble Square in November that will be directly connected to Shibuya Station. The complex will be expanded in fiscal 2027 by rebuilding the current Toyoko department store site.

Shibuya's landmark Tokyu Toyoko department store to close in March

With a continuously changing landscape around Tokyo's Shibuya Station amid a massive redevelopment project, another familiar face will be saying goodbye next year.

Not sure how I missed it but just noticed we are getting 2 GT-R NISMO's, the 2020 & the 2024 one and I like that! Hope the 2020 one is not a thing for the preview build just to get removed before launch.

Japanese site 4Gamer leaked Horizon Mecha

 

[GlamFM]

My hype is now fully out of control. Cinematic auto-drive did it.

The wait is gonna be brutal.

Yeah Chaser Zero, he is standing like a statue at the festival site, can be seen in various videos. There are also billboards of him around Tokyo!

to that top bit, fair enough its Grok translated but good idea to what's being said

i mean we still have 2012 nissan gtr when the 2017 gtr dropped in fh3. and we still have all of em here in fh6

IGN Japan (not related with US IGN) notes the extreme detail playground had with the road signs

 

[JD-Pon]

I've been unproductive (while wait for TXR's auto driver to clock up the miles needed for some achievement) thought to look into road widths in two games mostly spawned by the discourse around "roads are too big!"

Japan's highway's width is about 3,200mm. Ones in TXR on the bit heading up from Daikio towards the two lane section back into Tokyo are about 3,500mm as I can get an NA1 and 180 in a single lane (give or take) and FH6's going off two gameplay videos by "Motorgamestv" featuring the Honda E and Civic type R

the highways are about 3,504mm (slightly wider than TXR by 4mm) while the outskirts are roughly 3,754mm gauging that you could fit two of each car in their lane in both video's that's banking on the cars being to scale

 

[Stang616]

please PG dont do it with me again 😭

I've heard that drivatars use the MazdaSpeed 3, meaning players can too. It came from Draugnimir, so there may be some truth to it. He supposedly works for a company that got a preview build and his info has been accurate so far.

Side note:
After seeing the FE Edition '86 F-150 I am super hyped and want it now. I want several of that truck, it looks great.

Shots fired:

 

[Hasse 86]

So, I pushed myself through 36 minutes of AR12-screechiness, just to see the initial progression of the campaign 😂

First off, one of the first races, through a wet Tokyo, looks absolutely stunning😍

I also find it interesting that Nick mentioned two times in this video that the physics feels different. He emphasized that the braking performance is changed, with longer (and more realistic) stopping distances compared to FH5.

Personally, I just hope that it feels decent and semi-realistic to play on my sim rig 🤓

I'm actually liking MotoGamesTV's stuff. No spoilers, no whining or self-promotion, just pick a car and drive.

Always liked his stuff for this very reason.

 

[LumpiestFish]

The improvement in Forza Edition is pretty incredible, truly unique vehicles that aren’t just regular cars with a couple odd but unspectacular upgrades like previous editions.

The Ford Truck looks legit

I'm pretty sure the late 2010s AMGs are under AMG and not Benz.

 

[KILLER2JZ]

Can't wait to take these timeattack cars around the tracks in game they look epic.

It's slightly worrying that your best bud Jordan appears to be voice acted by the same guy who did your player avatar in FH5 😩
