Well I read the IGN review, and it just sums it up that the series just isn't changing with the times. Offcourse the 70's meta won't change the opinions of the fans....some here are really being defensive. GT sells based on its brand, its franchise history. It doesn't sell based on raw quality, not anymore. With the metas of GT5 and now 6, compared to the metas and sales of Forza 3 and 4, this isn't trolling and more so a look at the times we now live in.

But overall the huge roster of cars (some almost identical) stems from the 90's and early 2000's, that is disconcerting. I think they should do what Turn 10 did with Forza 5 and start from scratch with newer cars mostly, as the older cars still show their age. Looks like the sound and damage is less then desirable,

They did do great on the tracks, handling, day/night, weather, and multiplayer.

Overall, the meta is justified. PD is great at making sims, but they aren't that great video game developers anymore. Too much relying on those decade+ car models and not enough game/community features that makes a great video game along with a great sim.

Frankly the diverse selection of cars is becoming more of a liability. A good chunk of these cars are from the late 90's/early 2000's.

WTF?? Some of the best cars to drive are from older eras,, simply don't agree with your post and I doubt any one who appreciates cars will.

I was hoping it would score slightly higher then GT5 but looks like that is not going to happen still going to play this eventually.

So i'll be spending more time actually racing than in the menu's, and not having to follow guides to find out which 1 out of those 20 available cars might actually give me a fighting chance on the track this time?

Good.

GT5 is a fine racing game and all that, but boy do you have to fook around a lot in GT5 ensuring you have the right car for a race (it tells you what car is required to take part in a race, then you have to go find it in the bloody car makers showroom, sometimes only to discover it's not even there for you to purchase, and you have to get lucky and hope ones for sale either online or in the second hand store)

I even remember one event (ain't finished career mode yet, but have put a solid amount of time in and all series are open, are there more weight specific events to come?) where your car could be no more than 1200KG or something like that, had to follow a guide to make sure i reduced the right car to 1200 and thus didn't waste thousands more ££££.

Following guides comprehensively in a racing game? shouldn't be happening.

GT5 menu's are a clustermuck.

GT6 could be just what i needed to get me back on board.

I get it that many classics from the 50-80's are included in both Forza and GT for those coinesseurs that appreciate the classics. But these cars are not included because of that, they were included because they were new.....when GT 1-4 were released at each time. Many are just common cars of the time with little seeing any recent models of the last 5 years. You can keep them for the sake of keeping them, but they do show their age.

I thought it'd score poorly, I've fallen out of love with the GT series since GT4. I wonder how well it'll sell? It's going to be mass bundled like every GT game which should add a few million sales but I still think this will be the lowest selling GT on home consoles.

I wonder why this game brings out so much hate every time.

Read like a 5/10 and got a 9?

9/10 for a brilliant broken game! Where the cars sound like hoovers. Reply +70

Planning on picking the game up this afternoon, great times ahead. The driving is better then ever and the amount of content and variety is the biggest yet.

No it wont.

Well you shouldn't have crossed out the sound its universially know that Forza is always top notch when it comes to engine sounds.  Some GT games might have better music soundtracks but who needs music when you have gorgeous engine sounds.  That being said Forza Horizon has a better music soundtrack then any main GT and Forza games.  Also it will round out in the high 70's.
