Its the new Unicorn. You probably get it by completing a rivals lap around Monza.

Dont get me wrong, I like the California. The California Turbo. The one that's already in the game. A worse version without turbos in a poorer chassis? Nah.
 
These threads always smack of "I dont like what other people like". Yeah thanks.

No one car is enough to get me upset about it. This car is funny. Its a laugh. I'm more upset by things like the 2008 Ferrari California. That car I really dont need, in fact, the entire planet did not need that car. Dont try to make something special out of something that really isnt.

Irony.
 
I am most definitely missing something, this is the second time I've heard the California mentioned today in regards to Forza 6. What's this about?
In the last DLC packs trailer, a front end silhoutte with headlights on resembled a car not in the pack at all, and looked very much like the California.
 

The big difference is that I accept that they can make a big deal about the Rocket. It is a 'unique selling point'.

I dont accept they should make a big deal about the California. I dont think I upset anyone by saying I dont like the California unless there's some defence force I havent seen yet.

Let's break it down:

"These threads always smack of "I dont like what other people like". Yeah thanks."
"No one car is enough to get me upset about it."
"I'm more upset by things like the 2008 Ferrari California."
"The entire planet did not need that car."

So, again: irony.
 
Back on topic please folks. As for the Rocket, I wonder what PI class it'll be in. Gonna guess either a high-A class or low-S class. Hopefully A class so I can goof off with it in virus tag. :dopey:

"With its retro-futuristic lines and performance that will take you from zero to “whoa” in a handful of seconds"

I'm thinking higher than that. I think it will have astounding 0-60/straight line performance but cornering and handling will over-steer like a 🤬. I'm expecting High S-Class or Low R

Yeah, it'll definitely be a very fast car, but judging by the whitewall tires, and the floppy roll seen in the trailer, it's PI rating will definitely suffer from it, at least I think it will anyway.

That's a good observation, and part of why I'm conflicted with what I think about it. Part of Fallouts culture is being hyper retro-futuristic and Forza had to stay true to that when visually designing it for this game. I guess we'll see but I'm still betting on High S-Class.
 
So after experiencing Fallout 4 for myself, I can honestly say that I don't really like it. Not a bit. It's just not fit for my play style. I'm more of a racing game/GTA kinda guy. I'm not saying that it's a bad game, I'm saying that personally, I don't enjoy it. I'm probably gonna go return it once I've received my Rocket 69.
 
I've said this a few times but if it isn't 100% realistic I'm gonna be sad:

Note the footnote :lol:
 
You'll be sad then. The vehicle has been dumbed down for Forza 6. It'll hit 200+mph according to the trailer, but 700mph? Nope.
Well ain't that a kick in the head...

I'm joking by the way

Yeah...sorry to rain on your parade. :(
I wonder if there will be any bodykits available for it, to make it look like other cars in Fallout 4.
 
Another reather unexpected (and kind of wacky) surprise! Fallout 3 has slowly been growing on me for the past months. My roommate got Fallout 4 for PS4 when it came out and I played it a bit. I'm getting my new gaming rig on Monday and I will be getting F4 for PC.

Having this car in Forza is a pretty unique idea. Kind Good way for Bethesda to promote themselves trough T10, and for Forza fans to enjoy a new ride. It's win/win if you ask me. And at least this make-believe car has an interior :lol:

It's all good, as the white text said I was only joking :lol:

Note the footnote :lol:

I think that may be a bit of an Atomic Age-style exaggeration. :lol:

I wonder if they will model the engine for ForzaVista or if it will be a closed bonnet/hood?

That would be interesting, seeing as the car is powered by a nuclear reactor. Fission or fusion, we aren't given to know.
 
I wonder whether the announcement that the Chryslus will be available to non Xbox Fallout 4 players will lead to a rash of games being returned to stores. Unfortunately you can't return a digital game easily so I'm glad I didn't get this and waited even though the car is gimmicky.

Sorry, guess I am being very slow here. Does anyone actually have the car yet? And I have Forza 6, but Fallout 4 on PC, presumably that's OK? If the car is out how does one get it? Nothing showing up in the message centre, guess it's a waiting game then...

I'm guessing they've got a few million profiles to send the codes to, so it could take some time. I know I haven't received it yet.

I'd give it a week or two, personally.
 
I do have a similar doubt. You have to own both Fallout 4 and Forza 6? It wouldn't make sense if you only need one or the other. I do have Fallout 4, but for PS4, which in this case is absolutely irrelevant.
 
I certainly hope it will be available for us none Fallout 4 players.

I watched the trailer and admit it looks like it could be fun to drive, however like I have said, I refuse to buy a game I am not interested in just so I can get one car

I'm hoping as someone who has spent countless hours on Foza 6 since the games release whilst logged on to my account that I qualify for the code.

If I need Fallout 4.. Forget it.
 
according to the Turn 10 livestream:

S class, AWD, 1,000 horsepower, 1 gear, top speed 250mph plus

apparently "doesnt turn worth a shot"... you get the idea... its a curio joke vehicle like the Cadillac limo and Terradyne.
 
Beginning today, codes for the Chryslus Rocket '69 will be sent via Xbox Live messages to gamers who have played either Forza Motorsport 6 or Fallout 4 on Xbox One while connected to their Xbox Live profile (one code per Xbox Live account). Due to the millions of codes being sent, it can take up to seven days for codes to arrive. Players who purchase Forza Motorsport 6 and/or Fallout 4 between April 14 and the end of the month will receive their codes beginning in early May.

There's no need to worry, it's for those who've played Forza 6 or Fallout 4 on their Xbox Live profile.
 
I shall have a curious look later.

Just returned from Krakow Poland so me Xbox one has had a bit of a rest.

Never checked messages before so this should be fun.

So its like the classic version of Regera, only with Jet instead of electric.

Okay.
