Forza Motorsport 6 Review: The Quintessential Racer - Heavy

Heavy: "Take everything you already knew about the Forza franchise — its impressive list of cars, tracks and the attention to detail — and multiply it by 4 or 5. There’s your general feeling to prepare you for Forza Motorsport 6."

Rookie_Monster3177d ago

Love this review as this is the biggest Forza to date with the most cars and tracks at launch while refining the great physics and adding much request features is just icing on the cake.

Bigpappy3177d ago

Having played the demo and how much content will be in the final, I will be shocked if any reviewer could find a reason to rate this lest than excellent. But I wouldn't be shocked if one or to do. Not all reviewers are qualified to do the job.

"This year’s edition is hands down the best new generation racer so far."

Pros:

Gorgeous visuals
Impressive car roster
Wet Weather
Realistic

Cons:

Can’t quit a race in career and choose a new one

-I mean his con is really minor sorta reaching imo but whatever its clear when you add up all the impressive gameplay down to physics with 24 cars at 60fps delivering exceptional sense of speed, all the packed in content, the beautiful visuals, the extensive customization and the new features like weather, no doubt the reviews just highlight Turn10 has delivered the best racer on consoles this gen with Forza6.

Congrats Turn 10....now just let me get my hands on this mofo!

Man...That first time I flew past the start finish line on rio, I actually forgot to breath...and then as you sweep through that righthander, down shifting to third and dialing in the revs as you blow past the stands under those multi colored rafters/flags...what a rush. Such an evocative moment. It feels fast..a touch dangerous, exiting..everything I want my racing to be. Its going to be sooooo good racing around rio online. And lime rock was a uniqely technical driving experience. its banks and off cambers, keep you on the boiling point.And its so deliciously full of feel.

any true red blooded petrol head will get chills the moment they experience that.

I have come to the realisation that forza is the 911 GT3 of racing games. petrol heads will know what I mean by that ;)

FlexLuger3177d ago (Edited 3177d ago )

The way this game is pwning the reviews though.... :)

I was on the gaf looking at their review thread. T10 just..wow. Im even more pumped to start playing this game on the 10th. And I got the digital ultimate edition, which includes every thing including all future DLC packs. looking forward to driving those FM6 spec porsches on a rainy nurburgring. I have waited a long time to be able to do that in forza. and Im finally getting my wish :)

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.

Italiano12345671739d ago

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

mandingo1739d ago (Edited 1739d ago )

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

Cobra9511739d ago (Edited 1739d 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.

rainslacker1739d ago (Edited 1739d 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.

lodossrage1739d 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.

bolimekurac1739d 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

lodossrage1739d 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.

traumadisaster1739d ago (Edited 1739d 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

KickSpinFilter1739d 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.

rainslacker1739d 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.

DaDrunkenJester1739d 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.

spicelicka1739d 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-Dude1739d 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.

CobraKai1739d ago

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

Software_Lover1739d ago

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

traumadisaster1739d ago

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