Forza Motorsport 6 Review (RaceDepartment)

For over a decade, Turn 10's Forza Motorsport series of games have been a topic of intense debate in the sim racing community. One question is consistently asked: Why don't Microsoft release these games on PC to go head to head with the best sims available on the market? A game with such a large variety of cars and tracks would be a sales hit among PC racing sim fans, with potentially little impact on the millions of sales gathered on Xbox due to a significant casual audience that both Forza and it's PlayStation equivalent Gran Turismo have.

nX3124d ago

How about a cohesive response? You might not agree with him but these kind of immature comments don't get us anywhere.
Forza always felt a bit arcadey compared to other racing simulators and it's slightly cartoonish graphics amplify that effect even further. Not everyone likes the games you do, no need to accuse them of drug abuse.

nix3124d ago

guys.. they are giving low scores because it doesn't play well with steering wheels. that looks like their main concern.

Dabigkahuna763123d ago

@nX look my friend this comment wznt meant for you just move along I'm not trying to expose the kid but he is clearly high on something

Gozer3124d ago

You are silly. Ive tried registering with the site that put this ridiculious review up, and it doesnt allow me to register. I simply wanted to comment on this review, it isnt allowed. Site is fake.

RaceDepartment3123d ago

Maybe instead of spreading nonsense here, just answer the captcha question when you register?

RD is the largest sim racing website on the internet and around for almost 10 years. How fake does that sound? :)

Gozer3123d ago

Oh, how nice, I get a response. There is NO CAPTCHA in the sign up process. I tried 3 times to sign up but couldnt, because this elusive CAPTCHA doesnt exist.

RaceDepartment3123d ago

There is a verification question at the bottom of the register page. Over 200,000 people have signed up over the years so it's there alright.

Immorals3124d ago

I've always found GTs cars handle like a slab of pavement compared with Forzas.

3-4-53123d ago

First low score I've seen.

I'll compare this review to all the others.

Lol no name website with a troll review. Trying to get hits.

Toiletsteak3124d ago

I wouldn't say troll review, not everyone has to like the game.

FoxyGotGame3124d ago (Edited 3124d ago )

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but 6/10 LOL seriously? No way in hell is Forza 6 a SIX.

This is an alleged 'Racing Enthuisiasts' Website?! ...What an Insanely Predicatable Clickbait 'Look At My Website' Trashy Review /

secretcode3124d ago

Maybe this website's review structure is "Give the game whatever number is on the cover"?

FoxyGotGame3124d ago (Edited 3124d ago )

Hehe, so Forza 10 will be Perfect by their standards!

I didn't mean to overeact in my prior comment. I don't even own X1 (yet), but quite candidly, this is a ridiculously poor excuse for a Review ...on any level /

uth113124d ago

Forza 11: Spinal Tap edition :)

Gozer3124d ago (Edited 3124d ago )

The website is fake. I tried to register so I could discuss the review. It wouldnt allow the registration. Said I didnt correctly enter the CAPTCHA. There is no CAPTCHA security in the registration process.

RaceDepartment3123d ago

Again you are spreading nonsense. There is a verification question listed on the register page to make sure only humans above the age of 13 register.

Gozer3123d ago

Im 40yrs old, and you are fos.

Gazondaily3124d ago

"This review is going to be conducted as if it were a PC racing sim"

How does that make sense?

And they give the best racing sim award to Project Cars? Err yeah with all due respect, I'm not going to agree on this one.

secretcode3124d ago

I don't understand the mentality behind this. Why would you review a game that's clearly not designed or intended to be a PC racing sim under the same standards as a PC racing sim? I look forward to their review of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, conducted as though it is a hardcore PC military simulation game.

INMATEofARKHAM3124d ago (Edited 3124d ago )

Judging by the website's name they'll review it as a PC Racing Sim also...

jtalent3123d ago

Hi there, writer of the review here. :)

I made this statement as RD have a significantly large community of racing sim enthusiasts, most of which do their sim racing on PC.

Such sim racers have a standard that they expect from games like these. As I am primarily writing for that community, I review according to those standards and expectations. I knew this review would go against most of the mainstream reviews because of this, as most reviewers would likely not touch this on a wheel.

And that's only within the driving and handling model really. With stuff like graphics I knew there was no real comparison, which is why I was impressed with the game in this aspect.

And on a wheel, pCARS is undoubtedly the better playing racing sim. Yes it has loads of issues. Yes it still has bugs. But it has a better approximation of how these cars drive in the real world. pCARS controller settings are abysmal by default though, so if you're not using a wheel I can understand why you have that opinion.

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."

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.

What's the benefit of delisting games? Curious.

Italiano12345671714d ago

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

mandingo1714d ago (Edited 1714d ago )

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

Cobra9511714d ago (Edited 1714d 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.

rainslacker1714d ago (Edited 1714d 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.

lodossrage1714d 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.

bolimekurac1714d 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

lodossrage1714d 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.

traumadisaster1714d ago (Edited 1714d 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

KickSpinFilter1714d 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.

rainslacker1714d 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.

DaDrunkenJester1714d 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.

spicelicka1714d 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-Dude1714d 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.

Good thing physical copies will always exist for purchase in a thriving used game market.

CobraKai1714d ago

There’s at least 3 people who like games being delisted; never to be played again.

Software_Lover1713d ago

But you still have to download the data unfortunately...…..

traumadisaster1714d ago

I just bought this a few months ago on a very cheap sale, then I think recently it was added to game pass.
