Is there any off track updates to Laguna Seca to reflect the changes this time or a copy/paste from FM5?
Copypaste from FM5, which was a copypaste from FM4, which was a copypaste from FM3, which was... you get the idea, the track data has been the same since the first game, and I was extremely disappointed because I (silly me) expected updated versions of Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta and Road America...

No, is that found in the hub?

Edit: Oh you may be talking about the Xbox update. I am a member of the preview program, but everything auto updates on my system so I most likely have that.

Preview updates tend to mess with preloads, do a hard reset and it should fix it.

Not to be a Debbie-downer, but I have the Ultimate Edition all ready to go, but getting that icky feeling that shit may be broken for tomorrow mornings launch. Anyone else getting that feeling that something like the VIP may not be working or something on-line may be jacked up?

Also, any word on a day 1 patch for the game? With these early digital releases, if there is a day 1 patch, is it day 1 for early release or on Tuesday the 15th?

Also, if anyone wants to buy a digital version for $50.00 PM me. I am getting the Forza Bundle, but already have the Ultimate Edition bought, so obviously no need for the one that comes with console.

This.

I hope what awaits me when I get home is what I'm expecting.

Yeah i know, but the amount of games that have been broken on day one has been incredible the last year or so & the last six months it seems to have been every-other game.

I don't want to go off topic of get everyone down on this, but if Forza 6 doesn't have a smooth issue free release tomorrow, i'm going to explode, i am so hyped for this & am tired of the issues with games, had issues with MGSV:CE last week, i don't buy on day one or pre-order any-more but as going digital & pre-ordering to get the Ultimate Edition i didn't have much choice

I just want to get home tomorrow from work, turn on my X1 & bask the world of Forza 6 where everything works.

I don't think any T10 game has been broken at launch, however.......

There have been issues with additional content, like VIP passes, and the like, so something like that at MS server-side wouldn't surprise me, but that's out of T10's hands.

What'll be will be though, fingers crossed for a smooth landing!!

Added myself to the spreadsheet. I need Xbone friends!

Absolutely can't wait for this game. It's been a while since I've played a great sim racer (enjoyed Drive Club a lot, but that's a very different beast to the tentpole stuff like GT and Forza).

That thing when your wife surprises you by volunteering to take your almost two year old daughter down to your in-laws for the weekend so they can watch her while your wife is at a friend's bridal shower.

So much racing. Can't wait.

Been watching some vids. I kinda want this now but got bored with Forza 5 pretty fast. I did enjoy the demo, though. Maybe I'll get it next week but if not, I'll get it for sure some time later.

UK GAF here, my copy has downloaded :D

Protip, since I did the same thing with Horizon 2...the pin you have there for Ultimate is a link to the store page for the associated bundle. The pin you want is for the game itself, which you can create from your Games and Apps menu.

Yeah, if you pin the wrong one you end up getting taken to the store page. It's happened to me a bunch of times now.

I went into games and apps-> games -> forza 6 -> ≡ symbol on the controller -> pin game.
If i then go to my front page and click that pin, i get taken to the store, but i guess that's just cause the game isn't released yet.

So I've just bought Forza 6 Ultimate Edition on the Japanese store, it only says it unlocks September 10.

When I tried to launch the game it says it not time yet, so when does the early release actually start?

My game's icon looks like the standard Forza 6 blue icon, I don't seem to have that Ultimate Edition yellow/orange icon either.

7:01 AM Mountain
8:01 AM Central
9:01 AM East
Etc. It's a worldwide launch.

1st post on page 157 has someone that quoted the link that has all the time zones and what time in your zone the game unlocks. For me, in California it unlocks at 6:01am on the 10th. Was hoping for a midnight unlock, but oh well.

Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR at Silverstone Rain

Convertible cars get wet inside too.

Thanks again. Does the Silverstone feature rain on both ribbons of the course or just one of them?

Speaking of Rain...I know that Dan said that rain is on courses that normally would have rain or run in the rain, but how about the fantasy tracks? Why would they not add rain to say Bernese Alps course or perhaps make that one of the night time courses? Or Prague in the rain? Since they are fantasy courses, they are held to the line of only making it on courses that in real life would have rain.

I was saying, in the cycle races I do, men's prize money is normally more than the equivalent prizes for women.

So, it was a joke / tongue in cheek post based on that.

You'll have to excuse shortt he is kind of frazzled from adding people to the ForzaGAF list.

P.S this thread is moving too fast....lol

24 cars looks even crazier when you're actually looking at all 24 of them.

Sweet Jesus that looks great. Like the parking lot of at an NFL stadium with five minutes to go in a blowout. So many cars, car types, shenanigans. I'm going to bed early to get some early morning racing before work and being an adult.

Ugh I have a full work day tomorrow!!!!

8AM meeting and all day training/meet and greet sessions with some new hires then a trip to LAX to audit some crap that doesn't need auditing.

I'll be home by 8PM if I'm lucky!
Good think I have a quick visit on Friday and should be home by noon then free weekend!

I went through the Google docs and set friends request to every single person. With the exception of Sarbear, when I copy and pasted your GT it said it did not exist. So not sure if you keyed your GT correctly. But for everyone else, you should have a friends request from me.

See some of you on the track tomorrow...I won't be able to play much since I have to work, but should get a few hours in the morning tomorrow.

yep would be much better to play at night for a while for me. oh well

I caved and got the ultimate bundle. After I get off tonight I have a full week off work, so might as well.

Plus Destiny will probably be taking a lot of my time starting tuesday.

I am wondering is it really that hard for them to unlock game at midnight for every region, especially for those who shelled out 100$ for it?!?!
