Lots of games for sports enthusiasts this week.
Good deal for those who waited for Destiny (with some added content) or our just jumping in now.
Unwritten Tails looks like great fun as well.
Of course the this is the week the Racing GOTY releases so let the games begin.
Yes, the attention to detail is unmatched.
Car porn at its finest.
Yes
Ergo the reason it is the best selling console RTS in history.
It's another great genre that adds to the diversity of the console.
Looking forward to the next instalment.
Nice pictures, they really speak to me personally:
Always like to see the cars I scrutinize in dealerships swapping paint on the track.
Can the Mazda MX-5 overcome a Mustang GT's power advantage on a tight track?
Let's find out.
Can't argue about that..
We've already seen Gears Ultimate and Rare Replay dominating the exclusives in the NPD report.
Forza6 is setting the bar for racing games...
And the biggest exclusive blockbuster is still to come; "Wake me when you need me".
First off...
I find it amazing that anyone could wish that a game with a perfect score (which is the article we're on) would not be made available on a regular basis.
2nd, your example of COD...what are the games each studio makes...
Answer FPS
Forza Horizon is OPEN WORLD Driving GAME, every 2 years
Forza NUMBERED is CLOSED COURSE RACING GAME, every 2 years
3rd, as you have pointed out, Y...
Very true, but not really a surprise:
PS4 has a larger install base so Mutiplatform games should sell more on PS4.
X1 exclusives Gears and Rare Replay have a higher Metacritic score than Until Dawn, and it translates into more sales of those games.
Both great lists
How about support for external HDD, plug and play offers many advantages.
And let's not forget Cloud Compute (I guess it's not this Holiday but next Holiday), can't wait to see the destruction shown in Crackdown 3 show up in more games, along with more NPCs and effects like volumetric fog.
WOW, that's some very high praise:
"When talking about any Forza game, it’s hard not to get swept up by the visual finesse: Forza 6 simply looked incredible running at 60 FPS and presented at 1080p. the game runs so smoothly and the attention to detail is impeccable making it the best-looking racer to date."
This seems to be the consensus among reviewers.
Happy trails
"Turn 10 has remedied and improved upon just about everything you could ask for. "
Great score.
You have to give Turn10 props for getting a quality racing game (F5) out at launch on a new console. It takes time to develop cars and tracks at this level of detail, and Turn10 was the only developer to meet the deadline.
Now that they have the assets in place I expect to them build upon them; along with Playground Games.
"This is a series for people who love cars — their cars, yes, but all the other cars, too. And Forza Motorsport 6 represents the pinnacle of that."
Great review, you can't help but see the efforts, to which Turn10 goes to give it's fanbase the best experience and immersion.
Well done.
Those are some awesome features, and "at no additional cost", the value it brings to the gamer is simply outstanding.
Add to that an AMAZING line-up of indie and Block Buster AAA games, both 3rd party and 1st party, and MS have some very, VERY happy customers.
It does look good, and it's a good deal.
And as the reviews for F6 are saying, it's clearly the best racing game to be had in 2015.
"As in real life, when your car hits one of the puddles gathered on Forza 6’s tracks, it sloshes through it. The wheels hitting the water drag. And when one side of a car is suddenly attempting to go much slower than the other, bad things happen."
Turn10 really goes to incredible lengths to make the games realistic.
They also have tire deformation physics along with tire heating cycles.
Awesome
Looks like they set t...
An awesome game with the bonus of getting the other games as Backwards Compatible games.
Glad to see the author finally jumping in and having a great time.
I think The Coalition will be proud, this was August's highest scoring exclusive.
Actually it clearly demonstrates the effect of selling in more Countries
80 more Countries like even Japan (Japan being notorious for having a closed market) would yield almost 5m more sales.
@BiggerBosss, doesn't matter, 19m is better than 14m.
Great to see the developers getting each version to the 1080p mark with a solid frame rate.
Hope to see the performance go up a notch with the implementation of DX12.
Then they can concentrate on bringing the additional features of Cloud Compute, like the destruction in Crackdown.or volumetric fog, and more NPC with better AI.
So you're saying that almost 15% of reviews are perfect scores?
Well done then.
To quote the author:
"Forza 6 is the most beautiful and realistic racing game you can play at this point."
Forza Horizon 2 set the bar last year.
Looks like F6 is setting it this year
Fantastic result
One can really see why Forza was the highest rated franchise of last gen.
Here's hoping them similar success this gen.
Doesn't seem like a good reason to hold back a release.
That's like waiting to release a racing game so a company can develop support for a wheel and pedal peripheral.
They mention Oculus Rift but will they wait for that too or is that already working?
I'm willing to give the new stuff a try, but most of us lived through 3D, and while it was something to show off at parties, I think its appeal has wained. Will this be the same? ...
