Probably, although Phil did say something about Forza and PC which suggested they wouldn't necessarily bring the Xbox games over, iirc.

3D puddles and wet races?
Finally seeing the power of the cloud.

Don't mean to brag, but I think I posted it first in FM5 OP

And I didn't get it from reddit, found it myself looking for some info on Forzatech on Google last 24h.

sounds like static time and static weather still.
that's all they can add after 5 full fledged games?

An hour before me and no-one else posted a new thread? Good work finding it though, you'll make a good detective...!

I'm happy for you Forza fans. I know you've been waiting for night and weather since after Forza 1!
It's conduit, it was 100% expected he would make a comment like that.
Here's hoping that they've done a major overhaul to the career, menus, upgrading and tuning too.
Not sure how it can be "static weather still" when Motorsport has never had weather before.
How many locked 60 fps racing games are there out there?

I doubt this has anything to do with DX12 and more to do with better Xbox OS capabilities (in dropping Kinect and allowing more horsepower for devs) and dropping or drastically rehauling the old engine.

So what in god's name is ForzaTech?
Fake edit: Ah, it's the name of the engine. No need to make it so cheesy and PR'd up, guys. I don't look forward to the mash-up videos of people saying "ForzaTech" on stage over and over and over again at E3 like we got "Drivatar" silliness.
Once you experience full time/weather progression you will absolutely never go back and racers without it will feel naked. That said, it's still an improvement to have night/rain, so it's hard to complain here.

Almost all the most epic ones? Even 6 or 4hr races result in a lot of change in light. A ton of the fun from time progression comes from turning it on for fun while practicing or online, though. Never mind it also being a great way to show off how gorgeous your game is. Sim-sims can give different performance at night from colder tyres but I wouldn't expect that out of something on the Forza/GT tier.

You can't just count out one thing and replace it with another....
It's going to be a combination of things.
A proper SDK(Forza 5 was developed on a pre-launch SDK), most likely forward plus rendering(Which hopefully means MSAA) and definitely being the first DX12 title in the franchise.
Why are people so resistant to DX12?

Turn10 don't like to continually re-use content, they rescan all the tracks again (hence why 5 was a light on environments), it clearly shows in the OP they recreated all the cars, 24 players now which is obviously referring to online, some of engine upgrade, either heavily modified or brand new.
Sounds like a pretty big improvement to me.

I am a long time Forza and I love the sound of all of this, but I am pretty confident they will not have dynamic weather and dynamic time of day. I would love it if they could but 1080p and 60fps with the physics engine they run and now 24 vehicles, it is going to be static, which in itself is a big change for the series.
26 environments is fantastic and one of the things wanted the most from the next version of the game.

Was an error it is 60.
Semantics.
It was so much worse than that awesome music in Forza 3 and 4. It's like it was done in a last minute before launch.

I figured they are promoting EU and PAL to tier 1.
I remember Forza Motorsport 2 having N.E.R.D.. I wish they would go back to having soundtracks like that (even if it may be more appropriate for the Forza Horizon series).

no it isn't. it's as clear as anything else. static weather is just that. weather is static and does not change. always dry, always wet.
you're the one hung up on semantics since the point of my post wasn't whether there was weather or not. never had any dynamic weather, never had any other weather besides dry/sunny which are all true.
I mean, I think it'll do great things on Windows, but I'm less inclined to believe it'll lead to major improvements on the Xbox side of things. We'll see!
The music in Forza 5 was done in order to take advantage of dynamic music. If you drove faster than the music would also get faster and if you drove slower the music would tone down. Clearly Killer Instinct did a much better job than Forza 5 when implementing this.
I actually liked it
It's just my opinion
I liked maybe one or two tracks and all the rest was really tiresome especially after some more hours spent with the game.
That singing lady was just terrible.
I didn't knew about it because I am driving without music but it sounds nice. I was talking about menu music.

I think regardless of DX12, given what Forza achieved at launch and the changes to the SDK since, there will be big improvements due to a variety of things, we're already seeing an extra 50% of cars on track for races, as one example (unless of course all this is wrong, which I'm confident it isn't)
yea... let me call uncle bill and tell him to give you a few billion dollars.

So what can we actually see on the screens (tracks, cars, anything)?
Could it be Monza or Mugello with the Ferrari, GT cars on Road America and hypercars at Rio remake?

But did they fix the F40 model? Just kidding, Finally we're getting the features we've been asking for.
Let's hope that holds up with these new inclusions.
Shame if performances first priority(which is what you want in a sim racer) takes a backseat because of all the whining for these checklist features.
Playground didn't sacrifice locked 30 for dynamic Tod/weather despite Horizon 2 being open world. I think T10 deserves the benefit of the doubt here.

Wet weather... As in not rain or random weather?

Hmmm this is such an awkward number. What does 50FPS look like?
I'm interested in seeing what the overall game will come out to.

correct, I read this from you then I did my topic, which btw is "hardware-talk" free (ie forbidden)
but I have a q: are you japanese? if not, I'd like to know why the fuck where you searching xbox.jp in the first place
that aint gonna happen Sean, and you know it. performance will be perfect as usual.
T10 has always been committed to a rock solid 60, unlike the "60" fps of other racers. Not too worried about that.
