Forza Horizon 6 - General Discussion

[Speedster911]

When they announced the closure of the official forum,the lack of communication is what people feared would happen.I suppose we`ve always got twitter though.....

Doesn't matter. If they don't want to communicate with their audience, they won't. And that's precisely why the forum closed cos they had been receiving a lot of criticism on their games as of late. I suppose they couldn't handle it and decided to close everything down to save face. More proof that a corporate entity will always primarily remain "corporate". They have a support channel going on, but that's nowhere as effective as the forums were in helping the game improve. I, myself, and many others were regular posters, bringing car audio issues or visual modelling issues, for example, out in the open, and certain things around those aspects did improve. In some cases, the improvements were half-hearted while in others, quite commendable. The forum shutting down is a clear sign that they want to shut down the "voice of the customer" and will do exactly what they had planned all along.

Forza was the undisputed best racing game to own on an Xbox 360. But the generations after that started to see a downfall. Still, I enjoy FM23 and FH6 in limited doses.

Yes, and this time around, they have been working on updating models. I'd be surprised if at the very least it doesn't get new lighting/badge/interior meshes.

Comparing them, the windscreen looks to be updated, as do the lights in the front bumper.

I'd argue that is more likely due to the shared material system that Forza has used since the Xbone era and lighting changes in Horizon 6 vs a model update.

But even if it was, it's not right to have minor changes like badge updates and things you mentioned as a full car pass car.

What next? The updated 575 model we're meant to get is car pass too? It sets a low bar then for them to take advantage of in future which wouldn't bode well for car pass.

And I thought it was just me that found his commentary 'grating'. Subtitles are made for his channel.😄

Regrettably, there doesn't seem to be an option to autodub his videos with a less annoying English language narrator. 😭

I'm actually quite excited for the N600. I love my little cars in this game. So much fun in tinkering with them for different races, events and hooning about with.

I'm also noticing the presence of an additional badge on the grille. But who knows? It might just be a retouched FM4 model, like the RAM SRT-10.
