A quick look at the new Forza Motorsport 6 Xbox One demo, highlighting some of the new features added to the game. The question is, do those enhancements impact performance? (Spoilers: nope).
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.
Rock solid performance and satisfactory visuals. I guess this is a winner for Forza fans.
I been playing the demo. deleted it the other day, as I didnt want to spoil myself too much. also got my pre order pre downloaded and waiting. as with all forzas I go the whole hog. So I bought the digital ultimate edition. And My forza controller should be arriving soon too. Will make a nice shelf ornament in my game room, along with my other controllers.
Lime rock park is a fantastic track too. I just love the sweeps. Cant wait to try it out with the M4. The audi S4 in the demo wasnt really my style. I prefer RWD cars. The puddles are downright dangerous and are going to cause havoc online. I like that. will people politeley line up in the racing line? doubt it..somebody is going into that puddle..best advice?...dont have your foot on the gas when you go over it. if you do, you wont be on the track by the time you recover the car. I drove the corvette in the wet with only my ABS turned on. I wanted to feel what was going on between the wet surface and their tyre simulation, and I must say the feel is just wonderful, you are always feeling out for that grip but you can almost feel that water under the tyres. it informs you of your limits while cornering, though, maybe thats saying something about the 'vettes handling these days too.
Game is rock solid..and rio...what a track! the way the sea spalashes up on the side of the track on the start/finish..the assault of color as you blast past the stands, under those decorations. And the sound of that ford GT! it roars and it feel ferocious. There was one part of rio where you sweep, through a 3rd gear right hander that goes downhill...I had to lift off, until the road straightened out, I was carrying so much speed, and getting a whif of understeer, a touch of acceleration sent me spinning for a bout 500 yards before I hit the rewind button and retook it it, minus the gas pedal. Exciting stuff, at the limit. And you can ALWAYS feel the car under you. Thats why I was confident to drive without assists. its hairy but the car feels so....feelsome..forza's suspension and tyre physics are something else. They know how to relay feel back to the controller.
Oh yeah, and the frame rate thing is nice too...
EDIT: funny story...the ford GT ran out of petrol after 12 laps of beating rivals times...the pad pulsed and rumbled..while the car decelerated and sputtered to a halt...checked all the telemtery..nothing damaged..but the petrol gauge was empty...just a warning for anybody looking to take it into long races online... refuel every 11 laps! if you have modded the car...make it 9 laps, before a refuel.
Downloaded this last night. Absolutley blown away by the visuals and the fact it's a Rock solid framerate just get's my motor running.
Loved the Rain and how it affected all the driving mechanics and the sense of speed in the formula one cars is just exhilirating.
I don't feel premature in saying this will probably be the greatest SIM racer of all time until the next Forza or the next Gran Turismo comes out (in my lifetime hopefully)
1080p 60fps and 24 cars on screen at the same damn time that with weather system impressive.
Now thats true 60fps right there
