Forza Horizon 6 Revealed (It Was Originally In Germany) + Optimism & Concern

(Originally Recorded Oct 5) Before you say anything, yes, we are tripling down that Forza Horizon 6 was originally based in Germany, or at least not in Japan. Hear us out, though.On this episode, we spill the dirt on how we've been able to predict locations in the past, and also provide some very solid insight on what happened before the shift to Japan. As a teaser, we believe it would have happened around the time Mike Brown was fired (we have a very mean-spirited episode about that.Because, again, you don't sit on the goldmine that is a new Horizon game for this long unless it's a mistake.Regardless, we engage in some truly meaningful conversations and break down our thoughts, and being serious, how important a game this is for the entire series. It is effectively make-or-break, and the devs are clearly pulling out all the stops in what could be their last effort, if this does not go smoothly. Our overall sentiment is that, if this is not the best-selling racing game in Xbox's history (with a long-term player base that follows), it will absolutely be the end. Certainly, the sudden shift to Japan would signal it will do anything to appease players right now... because there is no other choice.Our segments Complaint Corner and F*** That Car go as well as expected, and we also extend on the previous episodes post mortem regarding the super-dead Forza Motorsport. We share some additional concerns about what failures Horizon 6 may contain from Motorsport. Aren gives us a reminder about Forza's constant reusing of cars with the exact same polygon counts because they don't rescan cars from game to game. We finish that segment reminding everyone Motorsport could come back if this Horizon has unprecedented success.InstagramFacebookTwitterTikTok
