Real G's move in silence
It's got my paper. Horizon 2 was godly.
Before knocking the release dates away and replacing them with the usual ‘December 31st’ placeholders, Amazon France had some very specific dates attached to the Xbox One titles.
According to the retailer, Forza 6 would be releasing this September 18th

Forza Motorsport 5 – the first game in the series for the Xbox One – felt like a new-gen experience on the road even though some of the career structure and multiplayer at launch wasn't as strong. Forza 6 (out September 15) is playing to its strengths. With the addition of racing in the night and the rain, your behind-the-wheel experience takes a turn for the interesting.
Water on the course and under your tires may not be exactly what you want when you're trying to race at high speeds and not go barreling into the safety tires, but as a gamer, it's a welcome challenge that looks great and adds a wrinkle to the driving experience.
The rain drops in the cockpit view sweep across your windshield against the direction of your turn, and the brake lights of the cars ahead of you cut through the rain.
Water pools in depressions in the track, which not only splash up when someone drives through them, but they can cause you to hydroplane. It's a little unnerving to loose momentary control of your car, but it's not a given for every puddle.
Nighttime driving can be equally dangerous, limiting your field of view, and it's cool how your headlights can bounce off the reflective paint on the track barriers, causing a slight bloom as your headlights scan past them. Nighttime also means cooler temperatures, which means less grip.
As cool as night driving and the rain are, they can't be used on every one of the games 26 locations (with 10 new tracks for the series). While it makes sense that you can't make it rain on a desert track, for instance, I wonder where else the rain isn't allowed. Microsoft would not say specifically which or how many tracks did or did not have night or rain options. I also asked if there were different gradations of rain (light, heavy, etc.), but did not receive a definitive answer. I'm also unsure if night turns into day dynamically on all tracks, but the game does have the Le Mans endurance race, so there's hope.
Variable difficulty has always been a staple of the series, letting drivers of all skill levels push the envelope within their means. A new facet of the game's customizable difficulty this year is the introduction of mods. These are goals you can add to each race (we saw a race with three slots for mods) that present you with specific challenges for which you'll gain more XP if you pass them. For instance, we saw one mod tasking the driver to start the race at the back of the pack and finish well without using any rewinds. Mods have a scarcity rating, and are earned as a reward for doing well in different facets of the game.
Forza Motorsports 6 ups the multiplayer field to 24 racers, and also new to that aspect of the title are leagues. These are more tightly enforced divisions of racers where your skill and temperament as a driver are closely monitored to ensure parity with other players.
The game's career mode and drivatars are of course back, with the former featuring 80 one-off showcase races as well as six full-fledged career paths through different racing branches (super street, grand touring, pro racing, sport icons, and Ultimate), and the latter being refined through copious amount of data from Forza 5 as well as Forza Horizon 2.
We'll have to wait and see how all of the game's constituent elements come together, but so far it's clear developer Turn 10 is trying hard to outpace its previous efforts.

Microsoft spared no expense in showing off Forza Motorsport 6 during their E3 2015 press conference, and three versions of the game are now available to pre-order from the Xbox Store.
The standard version of Forza 6 will unsurprisingly set you back $59.99, and comes with the Ten Year Anniversary Car Pack, which comes with any digital pre-order of the game. The cars confirmed to be in the pack are the 2012 BMW M5, 2005 Honda NSX-R, 2013 McLaren P1, and the 2014 Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4.
The ‘Deluxe Edition’ of Forza 6 costs $79.99 and, as well as the Anniversary pack, comes with the ‘VIP Pass’ for the game, giving you access to double race earnings, exclusive events and more gifts. Five cars come with the VIP Pass: the 013 Ferrari 458 Speciale, 2012 Aston Martin V12 Zagato, 2013 Lamborghini Veneno, 2016 Ford Shelby GT350R, and the 1997 McLaren F1. The series’ collaboration with movie franchise The Fast & Furious, created in Forza Horizon 2, continues this year with a new car pack, though none of the new rides have been announced yet.
The ‘Ultimate Edition’ comes in at $99.99 and packs in all the aforementioned content to delve into. The additional perk here is the traditions Forza ‘Car Pass’, which will ensure you receive six, monthly car packs, starting in November and all containing seven vehicles, added to your garage when they become available.
Forza Motorsport 6 arrives exclusively for Xbox One on September 15. Digital pre-orders can be pre-loaded before they unlock on midnight of this date. Prices for other regions or currencies are yet to be announced. Check out how Forza 6 is revamping the series’ Career mode.

Forza Motorsport 6 ditches microtransactions, gets real puddles instead
Forza Motorsport 6 will not feature any microtransactions, according to Turn 10. This might sound like common sense, seeing as the game will be a boxed, retail release, butForza 5 was also a full retail release and happened to be chock full of 'em. The E3 conversation between OXM and Bill Giese, Executive Producer, went like this:
"The number of cars is 450. Are they available at launch?"
"At launch, yep. On disc."
"Nothing's locked behind DLC, at this stage?"
"No. No."
That's two whole 'no's, which is one 'no' better than just 'no'. But, just to clarify, it was asked again later in the session whether microtransactions would be returning, and it was confirmed: "Everything is tuned for 'no tokens' at launch." It's a pleasing revelation, but perhaps not quite as pleasing as the appearance of wet weather racing. It turns out the team reportedly went to a rain-drenched Nurburgring (as well as other tracks) and recreated every single puddle they found, which means you'll be virtually driving through real puddles when you play the game.
Running at 1080p and 60fps, Forza 6 is looking great and should give Project CARS a run for its money in the battle for 'best racing sim on Xbox' when it is released on September 15.

Forza Motorsport 6 introduces new mod system
Heavily inspired by Halo's Skull system
In a recent interview, Turn 10 Studios unveiled a brand new feature for Forza Motorsport 6 – mods.
During a showcase session for the game, creative director Bill Geise showed off the new feature which adds a new level of customisable difficulty to the series.
One example is a modifier which places the player at the back of the starting grid and takes away all rewinds, forcing the player to come from behind and win while making no mistakes. Adding these stipulations to a race will increase the XP and cash reward at the end, offering a bigger reward for the increased challenge.
Geise linked the new feature to the Skull system featured in Halo – players can up the difficulty in that series by turning on a series of modifiers which dramatically affect the gameplay.
Mods will hopefully add a new level of challenge and variety to the series, although Turn 10 were quick to stress that Forza 6 would still be about creating an authentic, realistic racing experience – don’t expect to be strapping rockets onto your Audi R8 anytime soon.
The reveal came during a Forza event at E3 in which Turn 10 also took an in-depth look at the work the team put in to include night and rain racing within the game.
Forza Motorsport 6 will be out on Xbox One on September 15th. There will also be a limited edition console and controller released to commemorate the ten year anniversary of the series.
