We all know after the announcement we heard nothing about the game.

Now, Graeme Boyd (Social Marketing Manager) & Aaron Greenberg (Global Director of Games Marketing) talked about the game in Rectify Gaming Podcast:

http://youtu.be/NQrYmt9htzQ

Stay tuned on that one. There will be lots of Forza news to come, and Turn 10 in particular is good at communicating with the community when they have stuff to talk about. From what I’ve seen, no one is gonna be disappointed about that game.

Greenberg also confirmed that Forza 6 is coming this Holiday Season

What would you like them to say? "This game is totally trash, guys."

 

[SliChillax]

Well he is certainly doing a great job at being a marketing manager.

 

[Leflus]

*shocking news*

I do think it's going to be a small comeback for the franchise though. They have a foundation (FM5) to build upon now.

 

[CalamityPixel]

What would you like them to say? "This game is totally trash, guys."

Or maybe because some people were disappointed with Forza 5?

 

[Abriael]

Looks familiar

I see a lot of jaded above me. I, for one, am excited.

 

[QuikNez]

Slim X1 + Forza 6 is in my future, I can't wait.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

I miss the old Che hype.

No microtransactions confirmed then?

 

[shandy706]

We're getting weather and night time guys!

[LicenceToK1ll]

So night races + weather basically confirmed then?

 

[Surface of Me]

So night races + weather basically confirmed then?

Night races at the very least should be in.

 

[akachan ningen]

A developer is hyping up their game. Better start a thread.

 

[QuikNez]

A developer is hyping up their game. Better start a thread.

Yep.

Pre-E3 hype machine is spooling up...

 

[farisr]

Really hoping they add in dynamic lighting.

 

[jpax]

I really hope I can skip at least 80% of play time while spending more than $1000 to get everything!

 

[Kayant]

Well good good to see marketing guys are doing their job

 

[MrCunningham]

Or maybe because some people were disappointed with Forza 5?

The real disappointment of Forza 5 came from all the in-game purchases that really killed a lot of enthusiasm for it.

Mark from Classic Game Room really sums up his feelings well with Forza 5 in this Forza 4 review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjpPhgsMDzo

What are you two even trying to say.

 

[Terbinator]

The real disappointment of Forza 5 came from all the in-game purchases that really killed a lot of enthusiasm for it.

No it didn't.

If there was any disappointment it was from the lack of tracks, namely ones that were new additions to the more recent games at the time.

 

[kitschykitty]

So no obnoxious microtransactions or....?

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Guy at company: "Our company's thing is awesome!"

It's right in their titles. They're marketers.

 

[TheAdmiester]

What are you two even trying to say.

That Forza 4 was an all-round great game, Forza 5 disappointed many people, which is the reason behind these people saying that Forza 6 won't disappoint, to try and dispel any negative reactions that might happen?

Is it really that hard to understand?

 

[deadman69]

So no obnoxious microtransactions or....?

but what about those people who don't have the time to play the game enough to unlock everything, wont they be disappointed? /s

 

[Virdix]

Its not his fault he has naturally wavy hair.

 

[Conduit]

So night races + weather basically confirmed then?

Night races probably for now.

 

[Lemonte]

3d crowd! Itshappening.gif

 

[El-Pistolero]

I was not aware that the 5th one was a disappointment... o O

 

[shandy706]

3d crowd! Itshappening.gif

I'm ok with this group being dissapointed.

lol

I was not aware that the 5th one was a disappointment... o O

It wasn't and isn't in general. It's a great (launch) game that was built from the ground up.

Most complaints were due to it not being a larger Forza 4.

 

[theWB27]

What's up with all the condescension? It's pretty ridiculous honestly.

 

[Naminator]

This man has obviously never heard of this thing called "The Internet".

 

[Terbinator]

I was not aware that the 5th one was a disappointment... o O

Well it wasn't aside from the lack of initial tracks.

 

[MrCunningham]

No it didn't.

If there was any disappointment it was from the lack of tracks, namely ones that were new additions to the more recent games at the time.

The car packs were still a valid complaint though. But yeah, along with the missing features too like tracks and other things that were cut from the previous games.

 

[Bessy67]

3d crowd! Itshappening.gif

I honestly hope not. Why waste resources rendering a crowd in 3D when you're driving past it at 150 mph anyways? Cardboard cutouts of Dan Greenawalt are OK by me, especially if there's night and weather.

 

[sam777]

Bring me that weather and build upon the tracks from Forza 5, that is all I ask.

 

[TheAdmiester]

I honestly hope not. Why waste resources rendering a crowd in 3D when you're driving past it at 150 mph anyways? Cardboard cutouts of Dan Greenawalt are OK by me, especially if there's night and weather.

I second this. It's probably also nicer to look at when you're going that speed, it's probably more convincing flying past a photo texture of a real person than an awkwardly rigged low-poly-to-save-resources 3D person.

 

[BeforeU]

No doubt. Forza series always has been fantastic.

 

[luckygodzilla]

Gimme weather, day/night, more cars, and more tracks and we'll be good.

 

[Monty Mole]

Forza 6 is bound to be great, Forza 5 was a launch title it was bound to dissapoint.

 

[SgtCobra]

That Forza 4 was an all-round great game, Forza 5 disappointed many people, which is the reason behind these people saying that Forza 6 won't disappoint, to try and dispel any negative reactions that might happen?

Is it really that hard to understand?

Well he obviously isn't going to say something like: "If you were disappointed with the 5th installment of Forza then prepare yourself to get disappointed once again! We ain't changing shit, and if youre not satisfied then go on and buy GT7 for the PS4 oh wait!"

Spoiler

I get it.

But when @Yosp is doing it is is awesome, right?

 

[Confidence Man]

So photorealism with dynamic lighting and perfect AA at 60fps. Can't wait.

 

[TheIdleMiner]

Did Forza 5 hold a stable 60 at launch?

 

[statham]

Did Forza 5 hold a stable 60 at launch?

rock solid 60.

 

[Leflus]

It wouldn't be PR if @Yosp complemented the Forza franchise.

PR is PR whether it comes from MS, Sony or any other company.

Way to make this about consolewarz.
