Might as well start this, and yesterday they announced all Formula E cars will be included:

Not a fan of Formula E, but I always welcome more non-road cars, specially open wheel. So I'll take it!

I have been watching a lot of e3 vids and it seems they've finally put some good work into the suspension model. Its really makes the cars seem far more lively than ever before in a Forza game. I wonder what new tracks are coming, I'll cry tears of joy if they bring back Maple Valley.

"26 world-famous locations including 10 newly built and captured tracks." ...."In addition to all returning tracks from Forza Motorsport 5, at E3 2015, we’re announcing five new environments: Rio De Janeiro, Daytona, Watkins Glen, and Brands Hatch are completely new to Forza. Indianapolis was recaptured and rebuilt"

So with that, we already know 21 of the tracks in the game:
Bernese alps
Catalunya
Spa
Indianapolis (rebuilt)
Le Mans
Long Beach
Laguna Seca
Mount Panorama
Nuburging
Prague
Road America
Road Atlanta
Sebring
Silverstone
Test Track
Top Gear
Yas Marina

So that's 17 +:
Rio
Daytona
Watkins Glen
Brands Hatch

So 21. But they say "10 newly built and captured tracks", we know 5 of them. So if Maple Valley is going to be there, let's hope it's one of the 5 tracks left to be announced. Regardless, track list is looking good!

I've also heard lots of requests for Fujimi Kaido, and Montserrat -- both would be nice, but in a way I kind of want to see new NEW tracks.

No, I meant in what's the background of the list, and how is it funny (if it was meant to be).

The backround of the list? Your guess is as good as mine. I only posted the list of the 26 weather modes that are expected to be in the game.

I wouldn't say the thread is uninteresting, it's just most of the discussion occurs on the front page, and now that we are well into the current-gen, there is nothing to speculate hence the slow seppuku of forum discussion.

You should post what you wanna discuss in the "What's Up" box on the main page. I've contemplated making a Scalebound thread for discussion but it would never get started.

Threads are great for dedicated game discussion, even if they're slow burners.

Plus you get more thoughtful responses, like GIFs.

I guess I'll wait for IGN first to finish and then compile the info and start a thread, then pull an alimokrane and never complete the game of the year results.

Threads are real good if you don't hang around the shoutbox too often ... like I do. Work in a big office with 80 people and no walls or similar. I guess it's also illegal having that many ppl in one big room ... hahahaha

Freaking Turn 10 pulling a fast one on us, I can't believe this crap. So the game has gone gold which is good, and the full list of cars and tracks has been announced:
http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/fm6_gone...

Then, unexpectedly they announce the tracks where wet weather racing and night racing will be possible.

Only 7 out of 26 tracks will have wet weather conditions -- BULLSHIT
Only 6 out of 26 tracks will be available to race at night -- MAJOR BULLSHIT

This two year cycle between FH and FM is not working out. It's like they are releasing unfinished games. I boycotted FM5, so I don't think I can keep skip yet another FM game. And honestly, the main problem I have is that unless I missed it somehow, this was never mentioned anywhere. If they had come out right out of the gate saying "we'll have wet and night racing for as many tracks as possible, but not all" or something like that, alright I can understand. But Greenawalt and his typical PR bullshit speak just talks up the features never mentioning this. I can't believe there is always some totally dishonest shit when it comes to T10 games, unbelievable.

they'd need to completely overhaul their engine. the engine is based on pre-baked everything. they'd need to switch to dynamic lighting and weather systems so they can be applied across all tracks. but that will undoubtedly impact the 60FPS framerate. it's why only a few tracks in GT5/6 had night racing/weather/both...they where MADE with it in mind. it didn't work on the tracks they ripped out of older games because they all had pre-baked lighting.

i honestly think all racers should have dynamic weather and time of day systems. it's a massive plus point in regards to variety and re-playability and it impacts gameplay in such a huge way...and if it's truly dynamic, never the exact same either... it's funny how new kid on the block project cars has put the big name "sims" to shame in that regard.

Yeah I agree that at least all self proclaimed sims should have dynamic time of day *and* weather combined. Developers need to get their priorities straight and built their engines with this in mind. All racing games are making this incremental updates, I'm just waiting for the one that's going to make the leap, but having these tight release cycles that may just never happen. Granted that doesn't mean a lot of time in the cooker leads to leaps in innovation -- if GT is anything to go by, with their nearly decade to release a true sequel that didn't really do anything special.

Anyways, even with this in mind I hardly see how any other racing game released this generation will even come close -- which is probably what T10 was thinking. And yes, PCars got that one thing right, but I'm not going to give it too much credit because it's got so many other things wrong.

Dan Greenwalt is always full of shit pre release. I love the franchise, but if you take anything he says literal, you'll always be disappointed.

In FM4 for example, there was no interview where he didn't mention their new reflection system called image based lightning. He said said every other racer cheaply fakes reflections and that their technology is so super dope, they reflect everything in the environment real time, etc blabla. Then you play FM4, drive through a tunnel and have the sun reflected on your car.

Don't trust this guys PR-shit!

Yeah, I kind of learned that from FM2 onwards, but man, it's still annoying that he feels he needs to do that.
