Another year passes by, the new year of 2015 is well under way, and we’ve had an early “out-the-doors” announcement from Microsoft Games Studio – if this is how 2015 will be for games and announcements with Microsoft, then this could be an interesting year! The unexpected (especially in it’s execution) announcement of a new Forza Motorsport’s game: Forza Motorsport 6!
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."
I thought this was going to be about the rarest and most valuable cars in the game, based on real life manufacture numbers and value.
We've found the top 10 deals of the week for you to set out on your own adventure, whether that means fighting zombies, exploring the depths of madness, or becoming champion of the black top. Check out these deals inside.
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.
Replies(1)Theres no benefit. They just dont renew the licenses for the songs and cars so after the 15th u cant buy it
Oh licenses. That makes sense. So if you have it digitally already you can still play it you just cant buy it?
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.
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.
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.
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
@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Good thing physical copies will always exist for purchase in a thriving used game market.
There’s at least 3 people who like games being delisted; never to be played again.
I just bought this a few months ago on a very cheap sale, then I think recently it was added to game pass.
Motorbikes? Absolutely not.
IMO, these are a few things they need to do:
- Bring back longer races and include fully animated pitstops
- Full dynamic weather and day/night cycle
- Bring back qualifying
- Add more tracks. Track count in F5 is too limited
- Have a different, procedurally-generated career series for each car,or have it return to F4 &F5 career mode
- Bring back hill-climb and auction house
- Improve the incoclpit stering simulation with drivers hands turning up to 2x5 lock to lock depending on the car and steering setup selected
- Add more bodykit options and the inclusion of a rear diffuser
- Ability to see car stats in replay mode and those of others because it helps to create better tunning setups
- More cars on track. WOuld like to see up to 20 and team based so that you train your drivetar and put him in a similar car you have tunned to race in the same race.
- Maybe a career mode were your not just a driver but also a team owner
- Obviously more cars and tunning options
Theres more but no time to type it all lol
I'd say implement dynamic lighting and weather systems, add more tracks, cars and some additional driving modes and we are good. I could wish for no micro-transactions and more realistic looking shaders but not gonna keep my hopes up.
Basically just release the game Forza 5 should have been from the get go.
Love me some forza! I would love if they added a Garage mode that u could walk around and look at your car's kinda like pgr witch I also love and hope they make a new one I mean kudos are great lol
i don't play forza but i want it to succeed. they should defo use the driveclub setup of a zero-lag, locked 30fps. this would accommodate stunning graphics and an immense sense of speed!
