Forza Motorsport 6 Image Leak Shows Rain And Night Racing

We were supposed to be getting our first look at Forza Motorsport 6 at this year’s E3 in a couple of weeks, but the Japanese Xbox site has let new information slip ahead of schedule. You can look forward to night racing, wet weather, and 3D puddles, which have previously only featured in the Forza Horizon series.

One of the biggest complaints Forza 5 received was that it had a frustratingly small number of cars. According to the listing, Forza 6 will address that with more than 450 cars, including the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo, and the new Ford GT, which will adorn the game’s cover. There will also be 26 locations including Daytona and Rio.

With time of day, weather effects and more GT racing cars, it would appear that Forza Motorsport 6 has seen the success of Project Cars and intends to fight it head on. The latter has suffered a multitude of bugs, and although it has mostly been received well, there are a lot of minor issues that have frustrated buyers. Turn 10, with all its Microsoft-backed might, will likely want to deliver an experience similar to Project Cars, but with all the polish you can expect from a major studio.

Other information revealed include the fact the game will run at 60fps in 1080p, and will have full cockpits, full damage modelling, split-screen multiplayer, 24-player races, and the return of cloud-powered AI ‘Drivatar’ opponents.

If these images have whet your appetite for more Forza action, the first gameplay trailer will be revealed at E3, 16-18 June.
