I dont like ahead/behind indicators. I think people should have to actually look to see if a car is catching them as a gameplay mechanism. With the occasional radio call from the pit lane with split times, or even a dynamic pit board.

Ether Frenzy posted:The game should be locked in cockpit mode only, is what you're saying. Both you and cubevore confused what i meant, i guess i didnt articulate it properly. I'm all for proximity arrows to help situational awareness. I was talking about the unnamed GUI feature confirmed to return in forza 6 telling you the distance to the nearest car in the side bar, usually in meters or possibly feet. Nothing to do with proximity arrows.

Ether Frenzy posted:I only race in cockpit mode so I'm acutely aware of the mirror because it's the only real method of situational awareness + the distance meter if you're using a wheel, because there is no thumbstick look functionality on wheels. When they announced it was returning i imagined a scenerio where someone is in first, and i start throwing good laps together and catching them up. I'd rather they notice when the car suddenly grows bigger and bigger behind them, not have them see "oh, his number suddenly started to get smaller, better speed up".

That would be great. I'm not proposing forcing people to play Simsperg mode, but if there is a "casual" mode and a "flags and rules" mode you can opt into. Would people feel cheated because they feel entitled to enjoy all of the games content only in little crashy 3 lap bites? Even if Gran Turismo has more cars and flags and rules, I hate the physics and controls compared to forza. It feels like too much tire grip with too little body roll effect. I traded my 360 for a ps3 to try it and regretted the poo poo out of it. MattD1zzl3 fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Jul 1, 2015 |

I see your point, but is it really Simsperg to have "a car is off the road ahead of you, temporary yellow flag icon pops on screen until he rejoins the road" or "when you beat a lunch of short casual races, longer more complex ones open up"? Just having optional modes or races for me in game will drive buyers away? I think forza has had a liiiitle more Sim focus than you imply (forza 5 took a massive casual lurch). If you suggest I play Pcars or assetto corsa, what would you say if I suggested need for speed, or GRID? I think it's obvious we want slightly different versions of forza. But in 3 and 4 they catered to both crowds. (Or you think I'm more Sim sperg than I do) MattD1zzl3 fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Jul 1, 2015 |

Someone who picks the cars must have a 94 miata. Traditionally they always put in the highest-trim and year for performance in a given body style. Same with the 79 camaro. Odd choices that stick out, but i dont mind.

Thats the one problem i have with forza, they seem to love supercars, new cars and limited edition cars. I dont want just a S2000CR, i want a base model AP1 AND AP2 as well, even if they look almost identical. Another one is the Skyline. GT is often mocked for having lots of cars, but having a GTR is not enough for me, i want a GTS 4 door, and a GTS-T for RWD fun. A camaro Z/28 instead of just a SS 35th anniversery edition; A 1979 honda civic, not a 2016 honda civic SI RR R. If this was even a little sub-menu that nobody noticed but me and everyone went on racing the best car i would be happy with that. In our forza 5 league this year i tried to pretend as hard as i could my GMC Syclone was a Chevy S10

No FC RX-7 again? If i had to have the crappy carb early one, or the turbo wedge from initial d i think its an easy decision. I think someone influencial on the staff owns an FB, and its triggered some kind of "Too many RX7's" policy decision. edit: i think The GSL-SE has the 13b. My reading comprehension has failed me.

Cubey posted:hi i have a carbureted rx7, suck on my dick, oval office Point A: I love the SA/FB and wish i had one, you have great taste in cars for driving one, i dont think you'd dispute its a crappy performance car. (In the same way that the Mercury capsule is a crappy performance spaceship) I'm all for it being in the game, i'd even put it in my top 20 most wanted cars. But when they added it i felt like they took a look at the list of RX7s (and 8s) in the game and said "Wow, we dont want to do the GT skyline thing, remove one or two of them". And they did. So i have to ask myself: If i had to lose one of the three RX7s, which one would it be? Just speculating for the sake of speculation. I'm also happy with how the car list is shaping up.

I would assume that was one of many dumb aspects (the stupid tablet-style car selection menu being another) that was meant to cover up the game having fewer cars. If i set "French cars, under 2500 pounds, 4 cylinder, it might only have two or three cars in forza 4. In forza 5 that number would be 1 or 0 too often and that must look bad.

Something about the introduction of the 4WD swap made forza worse for me. I accept and love 4wd swaps when its a car where it makes sense (attaching a 4wd golf drivetrain to a faster, FWD golf). But just throwing it around willy nilly means lower class hoppers have been full of 4wd engine swapped hatchbacks for some time now.' Barring a pair of forum build threads (in varying stages of completion) some cars are simply not swapped to 4wd, and i think it would be better to introduce trim levels just as cube suggested.

Yesss. You race on lime rock a lot early in Iracing and it's got a lot of fun qualities and corners. I love any track that goes right from a jump into a heavy braking zone  If I'm not mistaken, the Ford F100 has been in the last 2 or 3 forza games. I have one in 5 right now for online drifting in the falkin livery.

GentlemanofLeisure posted:Ugh, not a fan of that. Track is too short. Anything with decent speed is gonna be sub-one minute lap times. Imagine that with 24-car grids. Gonna be a Trulli Train around the whole track. Track is narrow and difficult to pass on. In isolation this is exactly what i want. I love love love driving in traffic. What i dont like is being in third while the top 2 drive away from me at an equal rate to the bottom 5 falling behind. Thats just lonely hot lapping, and is usually my Forza 5 experience. 1 mile and less tracks let me lap people at least so i get to see other cars on track. Long beach west is my favorite track in the game because they removed Tsukba short. GentlemanofLeisure posted:It is, but if you think about it, it makes sense. People love Lime Rock, a simple google or youtube search can show you that. But short, narrow tracks don't suit Forza well. Think about how much of a shitshow a public lobby can be with people trying to pass on the Ring. A narrow track can work in something like iRacing where there are consequences for wrecking, but people in Forza don't drive like that. If you race with pubbies you have to expect car contact (often however they surprise me with clean races). Just enjoy what you can and let the crashes run off of you like water from a duck. I'd love to see some form of "opt-in" safety rating system or a similar but less intrusive/harsh gameplay mechanic to encourage clean driving. But in a world where the game auto-updates your car to the top of the class and throws you into a 5 minute race, i dont even bother to hope.

If you say so (eat a dick) I dont usually get to race in traffic because of the aforementioned long tracks L_Harrison posted:Goddamnit, I know they probably won't do it, but it'd be so perfect if we got the Robby Gordon Stadium Truck from Horizon 2 and they added a Long Beach with the ramps and such from the real race there. It shouldn't even be that hard to do. I'd be shocked if something like this doesnt end up in game eventually. They had plenty of off-road trucks in horizon 2, and already have the tech to place things on track from that top gear london challenge level. Judging by how many DLC cars seem to be ending up in 6, the system in place for creating cars compatible with multiple games would make it a waste not to put in a few "Island of storms" DLC vehicles. Veyrons, goons and ramps do sound like good fun. MattD1zzl3 fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Jul 22, 2015 |

I have a pet theory that laser scanning tracks is a lot easier than creating all the detail by hand with artists. Original tracks seem to be falling away, and the most recent ones i dont like (Bernie's alps). Camino Viejo/Monserrat Test track was one of my favorites. Either one was a lot of fun to race on, but When i did the "Extreme" version for the first time and it made a hard right onto another track i'd raced on  Is Tsukuba unlikely to return?

Leather Bear posted:Ya mods are solely for single player that have zero bearing on anything but earning credits. It's additive to the game. r/forza thinks this is nothing but a ploy to get forza away from any sort of sim trappings. I dont want forza to shy any more away from motorsport simulation then it already has, but the mods system doesnt bother me at all. if they could add dorky sim stuff like flag rules and races that require pit stops (faster tire wear would be needed) in some gameplay-friendly way that people arent forced to use, i'd personally be a lot happier.

GentlemanofLeisure posted:If they don't change the car select screen from a line of all the cars, like FM5, to a line of the manufacturers, like in FM4, I will be super pissed. It sucks to have to hit the trigger a ton of times just to look at your Volkswagens, etc. Hopefully they only put that in 5 as some sort of "trick" due to the lower number of cars at launch. Its worse on my xbone, because the image for the cars might take 10 seconds to load, so i'm scrolling with a blank screen through a series of blank thumbnails by memory, and/or the little text in the upper corner. I think it was becuase they were pushing windows 8 when forza and the xbone was in development, and it was trendy in-house to make everything "tiles" for easier touch screen functionality. Obviously they had to roll that back for windows 10 somewhat. (And guess what likely wont be in the xbone OS update they are starting to roll out) (Yes, a tablet-style operating system on your living room gaming system. Makes total sense.

With every new forza game i am shocked that the 1979 camaro Z28 is still on the list, when the much more classic and better performing 1970 model is in the game, along with a selection of trans ams. Its a jimmy carter muscle car nobody likes with about as much power as a miata and a lot less speed. On the other hand, i have this weird looking storage shelf sitting in the garage:  I hope they never remove it, and their "make models we copy/paste between games" model could make that happen.
