Windows Central: Forza Horizon 6 to be announced at TGS this year

This is going to be day one for me at the Xbox store too ( even though I am a huge steam fan ) but the fact that my son can play It with his xbox by just adding my account there is a huge plus. this is what I did with FH5 and he loves It.
 
If it is Japan, I hope they take the time to do all of the main islands and don't just do some overly compacted cross-section of Honshu with Tokyo as the primary city focus. I want racing stuff to do from the southern tip of Kyushu to the northern tip of Hokkaido.
 
Forza Horizon is awrsome. What would make it really awesome:

  • Customizable home bases with garages and trophies. Let me walk around inside. Let me earn winnings to upgrade my space.
  • Clearer progression with a tighter story mode available
  • Give me an actual AI to voice chat with in game that could be my partner in crime. Emergent convos, music recommendations, and navigation

No, we need more customisable wheelchairs
 
I'm going to spend so much time driving different keicars, especially since they were largely absent in previous Horizon games and GT was the game to play if you wanted to drive them.
 
All I want is something like Underground 1 and 2 in terms of progression. Genuinely differentiate cars performance and have a simple but meaningful upgrade system that you unlock over time. Being able to hop into a super car right after the first race is boring bullshit. Start me off nice and slow so I can feel the performance gap and each upgrade.

They never do this, it will be a cross section of the most popular areas unfortunately. As long as they nail various prefectures then it should hopefully be great.

I gave up on Forza Horizon since 4.
The progression is so weird now... They want so much for no one to ever get frustrated, that you don't even have to win anything.
I remember "failing" a race because I went offroad and arrived among the last ones, I wanted to try the race again to do it again properly and arrive first, and I couldn't find which race it was on the map, I didn't see anything with no medal / bronze medal or anything, nope, you get a gold medal, even if you arrive last :messenger_downcast_sweat: What's even the point?

I don't know, there's no real incentive, no real progression anymore, no challenge, it's very strange.
It's just cool to drive around for a bit and see nice landscapes, but it doesn't feel like a proper game anymore.

In FH4, I got discouraged when I went to my garage and saw that there were hundreds of unlocked cars. I spent ages retrieving them (a very bureaucratic process), so much so that I ended up getting tired of the game. And even when I returned, I didn't know which car to play with because there were too many options.
 
I hope this will be the next real evolution of the series and not Forza Horizon 3 rehashed for the third time, somehow done worse than it was almost a decade ago.

I would be okay with them releasing the same game once again if
- the setting is indeed Japan
- all the non-driving elements are notably improved (better visuals, vivid environments, small animals in the countryside, people walking in the streets, visiting shops, parking their cars, much more detailed objects - buildings, vegetation, more animated environmental objects where it makes sense)

If I am approaching a construction site, for example, it would be nice if it wasn't abandoned but instead had people working there. Beauty spots would be a lot nicer with animals running/flying/crawling around. Etc.

I've been playing it since launch on PC and I'm still missing tons of cars and I play this game weekly. I don't want them to treat it like Forza motorsport where it's a complete grind to progress at all and I feel FH5 was fine for people that don't have the time to sit and game hours on end each day which is why the game was successful IMO. That and it being fun of course.

That said, if they dialed it back slightly I wouldn't mind as long as it's fair, it's an arcade racer after all and should be easy to get in and out of without being taken seriously.

I've been a huge racing game fan since the ps1/n64 era and have played tons of sims, sim-cades, arcade, etc. FH series is just fun and it's the best arcade racer out there outside of the Project Gotham series which has been long dead.

If FH6 ends up being the same recycled formula, I'm not even going to bother downloading it. It does not matter what the setting is. I will just stick with FH3.
 
All I want is a progression system like it was with the first game. They have got progressively worse in this area with each game since.
 
Seomel said:
Oh, missed it on insiders article. Wonder if its just speculation. With how great FH5 sold I wonder if they would wanna let it wait

Yeah at this point it makes no sense to hold it back unless they don't have the bandwidth to handle a simultaneous PS5 release.

Because people are increasingly impatient about an open world racing game locking down content.. It's a challenging balance for sure. It should be possible to make it opt-in though, I'm one of those who would appreciate it if was.

I putt plenty of hours into FH4 and that was peak with the weather / seasons changing up. No way they gonna bother porting this to Switch 2 when the thing doesn't even have analog triggers you wouldn't even be able to drift LOL.

After playing crew motorfest forza is kinda boring. Let's wait for the reveal if they add something new to the series.

Im hoping its closer to Forza Horizon 3......while 4 and 5 are all great, the sense of progression and i guess order was lost after Horizon 3.
It stopped feeling like a festival and felt more like just some random races happening.

3 actually felt like a motoring festival.

I havent liked the Horizon series for a while now- the festival open world crap aint for me.
Potential to get suckered in again with a Japan setting. So at best all i can hope for is them toning down all the yapping/festival. lol - atleast the more recent iterations.

If they could introduce bikes into the setting like the likes of Motorstorm and Project Gotham 4 did successfully well, then that would be awesome...more so as we are likely not going to get new instalments of both those titles..

The question is whether it can compete with Tokyo Xtreme Racer.

It's crazy how much better the gameplay loop in TXR is. I like Forza Horizon series but the progression is nonsensical. You are just constantly being showered in supercars from the moment you start playing.

Which is why I play the original Horizon still, with it's traditional progression structure. Racing games have gone backwards in so many ways
 
Just don't give out cars like candies. It's PATHETIC and breaking my fun if I get most powerful cars in first hour of the game

Sadly I never played the first 2 because I didn't own an Xbox but FH series needs a serious overhaul. Such wasted potential because the driving mechanics are fun and the graphics are crazy.

The original runs brlliantly on PC if you have a decent rig, 4k 60 looks awesome




But yea I agree, FH5 is the best game yet in terms of driving, but the progression is borked

it's criminal that this never got FPS boost on console. it has an X patch at least, so it runs at 4k

Yup.

Pandering to I want everything nao! crowd really screwed up the feeling of progression in the Horizon games.

Yeah I know you can stick to driving early cars and slowly upgrading them, but thats such an artificial way to enjoy the game.

Give us progression again, you dont get super fast cars early, you can have one of each class but they are bottom of the barrel cars.

Buying a Supercar should take time......dont just give me a supercar early in the game, ill have nothing to aspire to.
 
My humble requests are a new UI, no lottery wheels, no british announcers, a sober career progression and no whiff of monster energy drink. Sadly, I believe they will double down on all those.
 
Japan would be perfect. But also, if Japan does happen, then pleaseeeeeeeeee make the urban city more relevant. I don't want to just race in the countryside, I want that Need For Speed Underground: Tokyo vibe.

No NPCs, no mittens, no gloves and no disco ball miniskirts either. The UI needs to be new like you said. It's one big cartoon looking layout.

I want a garage that I can drive my cars into and show them off. I understand there has to be a limit to the number of cars displayed. Even if I can layout like 50 cars in car stalls, etc and let me drive into the stalls and park them. Let us look at a visual status of barn finds being fixed up and painted.

Touge racer vs open world racer
Click to expand...
Both are "arcade-sims" and, as others have also pointed out, the progression in the Forza games, especially the newer ones, is fucking garbage. And if Forza Horizon 6 doesn't have Touge and is set in Japan, then what the fuck are they even doing.
