Forza Horizon 6 - General Discussion

[GlamFM]

19 hours in - which is crazy considering I started playing yesterday….

I’m currently at an 8/10.

For reference FH5 is a 10/10 for me.

 

[sirjim73]

Just try the game on gamepads, it's a pleasant surprise, immersion is top notch, period, map is great, physics seem a bit more forgiving than FH5 is some case, especially on dirt track ? did you get the same feeling ?
I also like motorfest in a different league, it's a more flashy, fun and arcady game, with its own vibe
Graphics are awesome, now I can't wait for this game to land on PS5 with pro enhancement !

Both games are objectively good games with masses of content and things to do. There's plenty of room for both to do well.

I have a sneaking feeling Japanese cars have the advantage this time around. Although I just ran the Highway Circuit race in a Ferrari F12tdf and the AI was a lot faster the second time around.Yes, I felt this one was similar to last year's Superman movie as they both mix elements of all the previous instalments.

FH6's various QoL tweaks make the experience a lot more fun for me than the last three. S2 cars are even easier to drive and Drift Zones now only cause me incredible pain and anguish instead of the sheer torture they were in previous festivals.

Like you I take my hat off to Teebone and his team. This must have been a high steaks challenge for him. As far as I'm concerned, he should receive a knighthood like his brother... Sir Loin.

I'm still waiting to see if Toblerone will be at the event on Saturday at the British Motor Museum, although I think its more likely to be his minions (we do know developers will be there - my guess is it will be the same two as at the Cars and Caffeine event). Perhaps this event will be Cars and Chocolate

Also, I'm going to wear my GT7 world series t-shirt from London last year on Saturday. Hopefully I don't get beaten up by the Horizon hordes when they see it

Watch until the end!

Looks like the Festival only cars will be rewards for the championships instead of autoshow cars only, which is really nice and I am hoping this is a way for them to bring more cars per series.

Finally I can have the Senna’s American cousin as its closest replacement till the real thing comes back.

I was quite pissed when I saw that it was a seasonal reward, so glad we don’t have to wait long for it.

 

[Ger8]

And also get rid or regulate capitalism in order for any of this to even become a possibility.

What?

 

[EngieDiesel]

If I deliver something to you, never tell me to "just put it wherever".

For any where you need more handling, the time attack cars are very good, so again I have one taken to X class with slicks, and one with off-road race tyres.

I tried this #33 Silvia. At least the front spoiler turned out to be good for clearing away sawn-off tree trunks in the Forest Cut-Through trailblazer.



It worked out pretty well as I was finally able to ★★★ that Hirosaki speed trap which is around a sharp bend, as I'd been unsuccessfully attempting this one in the RS200 Evolution over and over until the stars came out and I could see the (ahem, cough) moon over the castle.

Thanks for the suggestion as I hadn't even looked at the WTACs yet. For me, they and the other DLC form an effective counterpoint to those redditors who seem to think we players who bought the premium version spent up to twice the retail price simply for a few days' early access and nothing else.

I find them almost as puzzling as the people who want a toggle in the game to make all the trees unbreakable.

bowie knife99...

oh my god

Stupid question from me. Who is this guy and why does he turn up in my drivatar list?

Anything else about the car pass the rest of 22 cars the people who look in data people find anything and ye I have problems with the game visually when it comes to trims of the cars it’s looks worse then fh5 there’s some shadow shaders problems say for black trim or plastic black trim looks very light black or a faded grey in the sunlight then in fh5 that wasn’t the case and in fh6 most black cars in the garages look dark blue and the carbon fibre the same looks lot more crap and my fav car has problems aswell so and well I’ve loaded the story and I’m bored of it it’s literally back with fh3 same thing happened didn’t play it at all and I don’t think I can get my 120€ back

Why the laughter faces it’s a problem in the game that needs to be sorted

I apologise for the discourtesy but to me your post was a barely comprehensible wall of text, from which all I could glean is that you're somehow bored of the wealth of content in this game after less than a week based purely on a few minutes of story and the way the cars appear cosmetically. Personally, I've played far worse-looking games and enjoyed the hell out of them.

Can we have a wheelspins thread?

So far, I got this and the 190E from spins... and I was inches away from the 917K...

I only got the GT-R and F150 and all my other Forza Edition cars are from the Collection Journal or Aftermarket Car or VIP thing. My luck has been terrible lol.

 

[MagpieRacer]

You guys are getting cars?

Same here, I must be under a dry spell..

Yeah, I got this in a wheel spin, too. I haven’t tried it out yet. I’m afraid I might not be man enough for it.

 

[meganinja]

Local TV in Toyama interviewd people that worked and drived around the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and asked them how much it was realistic vs real life

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So getting to the gold wristband is more of a grind than I thought.

Do you have to three-star every PR stunt to get there?

 

[GTvsForza]

I hope not, I don't really have that many fast cars yet.

No. There's just about enough HF points in winning all the races alone.

Edit: Just trying to work out how many roads there are on Legends Island before I visit. I calculated a maximum of 14 and a minimum of 8. With every other road (I think) covered, I've got 9 undiscovered...

I'm yet to properly attempt a drift zone. It's the skill I struggle most with in the game also bud.

I have my drift checklist all sorted out.

• Chase view far: ☑
• Formula Drift car: ☑
• Drift cam enabled: ☑
• Calluses on left thumb from swinging left-right-lefft-right for ten minutes: ☑☑
• Opus channel to play soothing music to distract me from throwing my Xbox, TV and myself out of the window after getting 129,999/130,000 points or, even worse, "Failed" for the umpteenth time: ☑☑☑

I know you're probably boycotting the classical channel because it isn't Don Thompson but I think he would've had me laughing too hard to concentrate on manji-ing. On second thoughts, his particular combination of desert-dry delivery and quirky Australian humour'd almost certainly be a welcome distraction from my aching digits.

If the reward for mastering all the zones turns out to be another drift car, though, I think I might be heading for that window for a quick self-defenestration. I wish I could just get ANNA to auto-drift every single one of them.

I can't take much more of this... 😭

... I've got blisters on my fingers. Look:

It literally hurts to type this.

Luckily the e-sports fellow demoing the game didn't take them to drive across any rice paddies or tea farms (j/k). I like the guy who pointed out the broken snow marker in the wall as an example of Don Arceta & co's attention to detail.

As far as we can tell, Don Thompson is retired and still working on a leaky boat off the coast of Manzanillo, Mexico, after his tea shoppe business in Guanajuato went under.

It's perhaps a good thing @Edax 76 isn't a member of the admin staff here otherwise he might be handing out bans left, right and centre in his grief over the mighty Don's continued absence.

The time attack cars are great, definitely one of the most interesting additions of cars to the game. They do have different strengths and weaknesses such as different max power you can reach with tuning, different max downforce, so eventually anyone who wants to truly optimise needs to look at them all to see what each one is best at. Anyone who has played a lot of Forza knows it's pretty much Premium Edition or nothing if you're serious about playing the game. I have quite a lot of people on my Xbox friends list going back as far as FH4, and a huge number of them played during early access and therefore bought the Premium Edition.

This is true. I have been listening to Opus a little bit. The music on there is good but the scallywag of DJ is trying to give off Don Thompson vibes. Radio Eterna in Mexico was ok with a fresh DJ, she was no Don but that was good, she cut her own path.

This new chap on Opus desperately wants to be Don and that is not ok. Don is a legend who walks amongst us, and as such must be treated with due reverence. Poor impressions of 'The Don' are sacrilege.

Expect to see my protest livery on a transit van in game soon, well as soon as I get one off a wheel spin at least.

All close ups; lets see actual gameplay where the environment can be seen from one of the cam perspectives, not photo mode.

 

[egl92]

Besides Don Thompson, I also miss the enormous quality of the classics that appeared on Timeless FM (FH3) and Radio Levante (FH2).

Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Verdi, Brahms, Vivaldi, Rossini, Wagner...

Now we have nothing.

I really like the powdered wigs era stuff

It's right at the end of the dial for a reason. The new music sounds like the kind of thing you get on adverts or those online mahjongg games for grannies.

Aw, I like Horizon Opus. In fact, according to the game, it’s my favorite radio station so far. I like that they’re trying something new with the modern chamber music instead of The Classical Era’s Greatest Hits Vol. 5. Also, I like Takehiro’s attitude. In fact, every classical station DJ has made made an impression:

FH2 Radio Levante Giovanni Lombardi “I hate you all.”
FH3/4 Timeless FM Don Thompson “I have no idea what you’re all doing, but I’m sure Mrs. Thompson does.”
FH5 Radio Eterna Delores Martin: “I will make you want to **** classical music. And me.”
FH6 Horizon Opus Takehiro Sato “I don’t know about cars but you do you, you crazy drivers.”
