The new year may have just begun but already there is major news to announce for the Forza world: Forza Motorsport 6 is coming!

Today, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Microsoft and Turn 10 Studios officially announced Forza Motorsport 6, which is in development and will be arriving exclusively on Xbox One.

A non gameshow announcement of one of their bigger title. Curious.

christocolus3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

Damn,is this for real?.MS must have a lot more surprises in store for fans.

@Abash

i definitly was but this came out of nowhere. wasn't expecting the announcement until E3. MS definitely has bigger things planned for E3 and about releasing them yearly that sort of depends on how you look at it forza horizon and forza motorsport are two very different games.

Abash3389d ago

They have been releasing yearly Forza games for a long time now, you honestly weren't expecting Forza 6 this year?

Snookies123389d ago

@Abash - I think he was more surprised at the location of the announcement. I'm a little surprised myself, certainly an interesting spot to announce a rather major exclusive.

TomShoe3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

I can't wait for the inevitable GT7 vs. Forza 6 news articles.

You know they're coming.

kenmid3389d ago

@Abash, yea we expect for the E3, but an announcement in the middle of January, Microsoft must have big plans for 2015.

OrangePowerz3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

Haven't we seen several comments and rumours around here in the last days about a Forza reveal at the show? The new Ford GT was alresdy rumoured to be the car on the cover.

freshslicepizza3389d ago

they already leaked there was going to be xbox news at the car unveil. still it's cool to finally know another forza game coming this year

ShinMaster3389d ago

It's only been 1 year and they're already announcing another game?

ABizzel13389d ago

Surprised no, but the timing is slightly unexpected, but there was an article saying that Forza 6 could be announced at this Auto Show.

Forza 4 was announced at VGA's and didn't come out until the following year, so this isn't the earliest reveal, and it's expected since Motorsport and Horizon have been alternating years since 2011.

Good for Forza fans.

freshslicepizza3389d ago

forza is on a two year cycle and has been since it started.

forza - 2005
forza 2 - 2007
forza 3 - 2009
forza 4 - 2011
forza 5 - 2013
forza 6 - 2015

elsuperamigo3389d ago

I am predicting that forza 7 is coming 2016 lol the cod of car games

zero_gamer3389d ago

Like the person above you, it's a two year release cycle. Forza Horizon are spinoffs, but this is the proper series we're talking about.

Dee_913389d ago

I'm not sure how announcing a game that was bound to be announced sometime this year at an irregular event for game announcements, equates to MS having tricks up their sleeves but I guess you lot see something I don't.
Aside from the venue, and the new ford gt design, a Ford gt on the cover of Forza is what really surprised me to be honest.I passed on forza 5 but I will definitely be picking this one up

3389d ago
4Sh0w3389d ago

Wow. Love the all new Ford GT and the Forza6 announcement. That car looks sexy as a mofo and I'm sure Turn 10 will deliver another amazing sim racer with Forza6.

DOMination-3389d ago

Sony announced GT6 at some racing event at Silverstone. I don't see how this is much different. In the past though Ms have waited until e3 to announce FM. They've done it since FM3 so this is surprising

bouzebbal3389d ago

calm down buddy calm down.. don't get those expectations too high like last year.

What we can agree with for sure is that this is one of the worst games announcements in gaming history. F6 is a major exclusive in xbox eyes, but why announce it like this?

Mr Pumblechook3389d ago

2015. Also look out for:

* Gears of War: Marcus Fenix Collection.
* Fable Legends
* Halo 5

Forza Horizon 3 in 2016?

Griever3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

Meh. Another year, another Forza. You can always bet on two things: the sun will rise tomorrow and there will be another Forza this year. It is the Assassin's Creed of racing; only difference being that it does not sells. I wonder why they keep pouring money in to this flop franchise. Forzas are all sales bombs especially Forza Horizons. We do not even have sales numbers from Forza Horizon 2 and Forza 5. Yet Xbox fanboys act as if a multimillion selling blockbuster was announced that would blow everybody away and is a precursor for great announcements coming, and start celebrating. Keep drinking that expired Forza milk and enjoy your delusions.

Gamer19823389d ago

Forza yearly is why it doesn't beat GT as they don't work long enough on the title. COD originally wasn't yearly so they had time to refine the game before it did finally go yearly and it's why we are finally starting to see its decline as that's what happens with yearly titles. Forza as great as it it needs a break.. The devs should worka bit longer on Forza 6 and make it an even better title with more game modes and cars etc....

Death3389d ago

There is a new Forza Motorsport every other year. Forza Horizon releases every other year also, but in between the Forza Motorsports releases. There is a Forza title yearly, but they are different franchises and sim vs. open world racing.

4Sh0w3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

Well every Forza Motorsport and both Forza Horizons have been top notch quality games that Forza fans eat up. Forza Motorsports 4 filled my sim appetite until 5 came out, 2 yrs between each iteration is plenty of time to enjoy a sim racer, and now with Horizon we get to simultaneously enjoy a new open world/arcade racer. I buy at least 3 fps, 2-3 wrpgs, 2-3 open world games and at least 1 fighting or action game per year so essentially if Forza Motorsport and Horizon are your 2 favorite racers then having 1 per year to satisfy your racing thirst is not even close to being too much. Obviously they are selling enough to keep micro invested in them.

I welcome new IP's like Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, Scalebound etc but knowing I will have imo the very best racing sim and open world racer every other year is great news to me if that's what micro intends to do. I mean other franchises have similar ongoing development and those fans can't wait for the next one, why are X1 exclusives which microsoft clearly invests top dollar in to make them quality games viewed differently= bias from those with a obvious pro sony/anti-micro history because microsoft is establishing a well organized library of exclusive games along with hit franchise games.

cemelc3387d ago

@moldybread

Forza also has horizon, so its a yearly release...

damn this came out of no where lol. I don't even want to know what else they got up their sleeves then!

And people talking about no games in 2015 lol

badz1493389d ago

and you act Forza 6 is gonna be released next month!

it will be released during this fall at the earliest and I don't remember end of the year = all year! mehh...maybe for you xbox guys because since the 360, all their exclusives were released in the last 3 months of the year, EVERY YEAR!

PS4isKing_823389d ago

But that's for the end of the year. What about the other 10 months of the year for Xbox?

For comparison sake, ps4 has the order, bloodborne, final fantasy 10/10-2 hd, one piece pirate warriors 3, Godzilla, jump all stars, ultra street fighter 4, all within the first half of this year, not to mention exclusive content and marketing for batman and battlefield hardline.

The lineup for Xbox one is looking a tad dry at this point with no big notable exclusives for the near future.

But I digress, after getting my Xbox one and forza 5 for Christmas, I'm incredibly excited for part 6. Really loving the graphics and tracks, especially the sun glare and reflections on the cars. Hope this one adds weather and night time races to spice it up :D

Gamer19823389d ago

came from no where?? Its a yearly title..

fermcr3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

"Forza Motorsport 6 Is Coming"

Not surprising. Microsoft is alternating with their Forza series. One year it's Forza Horizon, another year is normal Forza... and so on.

Great news for Xbox driving fans.

Animal Mutha 763389d ago

Boom!

For me as a forza nut this is MEGATON.

Just think Forza fans...

More 1080p 60 goodness,
Chuck in some full DX12 goodness with a bit of 7th core for good measure.
Chuck in some tiled resources
Chuck in the genius of the drivatar system
Chuck in some weather and time of day
Chuck in all those cars
Chuck in the best engine sounds imo
Chuck in the dedicated servers and awesome online racing.

All = WIN.

Love how they champion a car and partner up for each title - gives it some publicity.

A few more tracks please in the box Turn 10 although loved the free tracks this time.

Prime1573389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

Wait, an announcement title that isn't annualized? Oh wait...forza releases every year... Seriously, why can't you people get that COD, Forza, and the like RELEASE EVERY YEAR SIMPLY FOR THEIR TITLE GENERATING SALES..

The good games wait years like Take Two and Grand Theft Auto, regardless odd your taste for gta5, there was a lot of work involved.

Gamer19823389d ago

Exactly the best selling games of all time (with high rating so not including wii sports as it came with every single wii)are those which devs took there time with. Like GTA 5, Uncharted 2, Mario Galaxy. None are yearly titles for a reason.

twiggytree123389d ago

I'm with you, I seriously can't believe xbox/forza fans are caught off guard by this.

Prime1573389d ago

I get being a fan, but I truly pity the people who disagree with me.

Seriously, I pity your simple minds, and I loath what you've done to the gaming industry.

Magicite3389d ago

sorry, but american cars suck, and ford is one of the worst.

Naga3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

The Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper, Ford GT, Camaro Z28, Corvette ZR1, Mosler MT900, SCC Ultimate Aero, Saleen S7, Hennesey Venom, Tesla Model S P85D... and all of their many American colleagues would like to have a word with you.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ3389d ago

Ford has been stepping their game up dramatically over the past 5 years! I traded my 2005 F150 4.6 V8 for a 2011 F150 3.5 Twin Turbo EcoBoost (same as the Ford GT) and after I tuned it and did CAI and exhaust im pushing 450HP and 570TQ all while getting 18-19mpg in town in a full size pickup and embarrassing Challenger RT's and Camaro SS's while Im at it! My 0-60 is 4.8sec (my best) and 1/4 mile best is 12.92. This engine in a Carbon Fiber GT that weighs less than half of what my truck weighs and produces 150 more HP will give the GTR a run for it's money!

TheRedButterfly3389d ago

As @1.8.1 said,

Tesla. 'nuff said.

otherZinc3389d ago

I watched the video on the XBOX ONE Dashboard; Amazing addition to the 2015 AAA lineup for the XBOX ONE!

danny8183389d ago

im not a fanboy but ps4 has a lot of exclusives too. 2015 is jam freaking packed!!!! I cant fathom it. Were not even talking 3rd party here

ic3fir33389d ago

ps4 have a lot of indies.
Retail games xbox one stay better for now

OrangePowerz3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

No point to argue with him Danny even after he stated a list that contains around 35%-40% indie games. And since the article is about an exlusive Xbox game you will get downvoted into oblivion if you don't prais every little thing about it or say something neutral.

SoapShoes3389d ago

Such a troll, mostly indies? You all are in fantasy world now. Oh and listing unannounced games, since when was a Gears collection confirmed. lOLLll

Dinkis3389d ago

No body ask or said anything about the ps4 man

Claims PS4 has a lot of indies, goes on to make a list composed of 40% indie games. You forgot Crackdown and about 10 other indies, but that would make your comment seem a little........bias o_O

kenshiro1003389d ago

Yeah, games like Uncharted 4 and Gran Turismo 6 are indies alright./s

jrshankill3389d ago

And PS4 fanboys still think Xbox One has no exclusives this year.

Still, 2015 will be a great year all round for games on all consoles. So glad I own all 3 :)

IMO rhe back looks great, the front not so much, looks very "Europey"

BiggerBoss3389d ago

It does look pretty European to me as well, but its a very nice looking car

marloc_x3389d ago

I think that Ecoboost qualifies it as a LeMans contender.

Interesting..

OrangePowerz3389d ago (Edited 3389d ago )

The car is a bit generic for my taste. The old GT is recognizable from a mile away. That car could be from Lotus or some other sports car manufacturer looking at the front and the side pods remind me of the Audi R8 altough they are much bigger on the GT. A lot of modern cars lack identity.

Not saying it's an ugly car think it's pleasing on the eye, but that it doesn't look it has an identity. You can recognize a specific Lamborgini, Ferrari, Lotus or other sports car manufacturer from up to the 90s and 00s from quite a distance any time. Not it's not that easy anymore.

Before the disagrees start coming in. I'm talking about the car and not the game and if you disagree witb that feel free to make a valid point instead of just disagreeing.

Lennoxb633389d ago

Well a lot of modern cars take a lot from the Ford GT. It being one of those cars that paved a way for a lot of performance cars in terms of design. The Audi R8 and other Lamborghini's and Ferrari's took inspiration from its broad front. Now its just been slightly carved down. Probably for better cornering than its predecessors.

GreenUp3389d ago

Hopefully Logitech makes a predecessor to their G27 wheel.

Mikefizzled3389d ago

Do you mean successor? Otherwise I'm really confused.

Top 10 Rarest Cars in Forza History

KeenGamer: "See the top 10 rarest cars to ever appear in Forza history! Thousands of cars have been featured in Forza since launch and only a handful of them have been really difficult to obtain or, in current state, impossible to drive around with. Although they were once obtainable, it's only for a limited time and, most times, for a certain price."

Forza Motorsport 6 is Being Delisted on 15th September

Forza Motorsport 6 will enter "End of Life" status on 15th September, so make sure you own it and its DLC before then if you want to play it.

What's the benefit of delisting games? Curious.

Italiano12345671713d ago

Theres no benefit. They just dont renew the licenses for the songs and cars so after the 15th u cant buy it

mandingo1713d ago (Edited 1713d ago )

Oh licenses. That makes sense. So if you have it digitally already you can still play it you just cant buy it?

Cobra9511713d ago (Edited 1713d ago )

Yeah, the expiring-licenses thing is a blight on the scene. There literally ought to be a law. Once something is licensed for a product, it should never become an impediment later on. Simple consumer protection. In racing games, both the cars and the music would be locked in place. The developer can't add newer car models, or different songs. I don't see why that would hurt the profits of car companies or artists. Newer games would have to license the newer cars and songs, or even the same ones.

Edit: mandingo, that's right.

rainslacker1713d ago (Edited 1713d ago )

Saving on licensing costs.

@cobra

They could pay more for perpetual licenses, but after 4 years, chances are they arent going to be making much of a return on the game anymore.

lodossrage1713d ago

again, a music license issue. This is the same reason Driveclub is getting delisted next year.

I'm sorry, but if music rights can be the cause of a product being delisted, they need to either have unlicensed music because this is ridiculous. This is actually another reason to be concerned about an all-digital future.

bolimekurac1713d ago

or hopefully when ugly things stick their head out like this music license issue, that the companies do the right thing and find a solution so this doesnt happen, then we can complain if they dont. Digital games is fairly new so why dont we first see if the companies fix these issues that pop up. not that we shouldnt be heard and to let them know about these issues but at least lets not attack them for no reason

lodossrage1713d ago

@bolimekurac,

They've already had years to deal with this. This isn't the first instance of license music altering a game in some form. Crazy Taxi wasn't even allowed to be released with the original soundtrack and many of the real world stores in the game were cut for licenses.

I know it's not exactly' the same, but the issues is close enough that the industry as a whole should have realized this would be a problem even back in the ps3/ 360 era win crazy taxi was re-released for modern day.

traumadisaster1713d ago (Edited 1713d ago )

Oh crap idk about drive club, I’m so glad you mentioned it, and I just happen to be in this article. I’ve been wanting that game but was waiting until ps5 to get it. Now i need to check into this cause hell I’ll buy it now if I need to.

It looks like there is a hard copy version, so I can pick that up cheap, the online stuff which I don’t usually do is what goes away in 2020, and it can’t be bought on psn

KickSpinFilter1713d ago

Oh you should def get Driveclub such a great game now after server/updates. One of my all time fav racers. Nice mix of Arcade/Sim. Not Sim, Arcade or Sim/Arcade.

rainslacker1713d ago

I'd highly recommend bikes if you get driveclub. Lots of fun. The vr version is also good if you have psvr.

About the only thing you're going to lose with the delisting is the online functions as well. Driveclub is playable in SP with lots of content though. It's just being part of a club and user challenges or throw downs won't be available after they shut down the servers.

DaDrunkenJester1713d ago

Or it's not that big of a deal since it's a long running franchise and there is already the newer versions you can still buy. If you already own FM6 you can still play it.

spicelicka1713d ago

This is a definitely a huge concern for an all-digital future. Along the fact that they can control whatever price they want you to pay even 5 years later, like Destiny and Call of Duty. You can't even buy the original games anymore, they just re-bundle them and force you to pay full price again.

WiiU-Dude1713d ago

It happens in other entertainment too. I have seen DVD series held up for years because of music licensing issues. It is annoying. I agree with the person that it should be a one time deal. With the creation of a product, things like music licensing should be done with that product going forward. Such a headache apparently.
