So...
They're gonna rescan more than 1 car for Horizon 6 right?
Surely they won't keep the S15, LanEvo 6, R32, R33, R34 etc in the disgusting state they currently are.... RIGHT?!

I think most of the Horizon issues were too, the only one I encountered is an invisible wall in the Flood, Sweat and Gears showcase.

Just allow upgrades that unlock all the locked tuning parameters (no engine bullshit, just the handling and aero). I'm not bothering with a car that's not suited to my driving style. That's not hard to understand is it? Gearing, Alignment, ARBs, Springs, Dampers, Suspension Geometry, Aero, Diff. The tuning for any given run are shared if anyone wants to replicate that.

Even more to make it enticing, you can allocate 1-2 car parameters to be adjustable only. How are you not bored by how monotonous the series has been for now? Fucking hell.

>>2230293
Emphasis on locked parameters btw, if they're already available, leave them be and don't need the upgrade tied to them

>>2230293
You can't verify if people are cheating by installing engine upgrades, so the upgrades are either full on or full off. And even if you don't believe it, most people don't bother tuning cars

>I'm not bothering with a car that's not suited to my driving style
That's just Ricciardo loser speech and you know it

Showing upgrades installed (cross-checking yourself for a PI discrepancy) is not hard to verify.

>heh, le skill issue
That's how driving works for any driver. Stop coping

>>2230325
>>heh, le skill issue
there's a simple way to prove us wrong bro

Wait till you find out that cars tuned by good players will not only be faster than yours but also less fun to drive. Then you’ll be REALLY mad about the PI system.

>>2230362
awd has not been faster in rivals/time attack ever since i recall (got back into gaming at fm7/fh4), yes even in fh4 (except off road/snow/wet)
the engine pi evaluation is sad indeed but it is better if meta engine is a common swap than a obscure engine existing in 1 car for obvious chassis diversity

>I wont even bother playing if the car doesn't have my very specific meta tune
Your slow lol

You seems to be the one that's ass hurt. Where did the AWD tune touch you? How far did it spread your ass?

>>2230359
>Well that's other part of my suggestion: people will actually learn tuning.
don't bother, they do things their own way, while i agree with you that 10 people collaborating and sharing tunes (locked during rival week, open sourced after) would be good for everyones progress there are other comunities you can join if this interests you (forzaverse)
however time and time again i posted tunes, builds and general concepts (formulas if you will) here and i got 0 people show any interest so this is on you as well, i tried and gave up, now i play much less and come around much less but if i see a honest question i will try to help out

Don't point at me, I'm an /ovg/fag that visited this general for the first time early Jan this year. But I guess that's just how the general is.

>>2230429
Look, tuning is fun and important, but through trial and error we found out that people will try to cheat, bend the rules and just dont want to spend time to tune and experiment with one specific car for one specific rivals event. So it's much easier for everyone to use stock cars.
Additionally this makes it a proper driver skill comparison and not just a tune comparison

I just like how unpretentious the 1st gen R35 is.

A tuning option will use the wrong picture for its thumbnail. The key is to tell them nobody fucking cares and to keep having fun.

>Seasons return to Forza Horizon 6 with more dramatic variation than seen in Mexico. Each season is authentically represented and distinctly different – from the changing visuals of landscapes, crops, foliage and weather to the unique and subtle soundscapes, ensuring every season carries its own feel, beauty, and personality.
>What's more, regardless of the current season, you can throw on some snow-tires and enjoy snow year-round in Japan's mountainous Alpine region!

>Cars in Forza Horizon 6 sound better than ever, with new recordings, remastered audio and upgraded modular systems including turbo and backfires. The driving experience is enhanced with more detailed surface interaction and improved cockpit impulse responses. This is all brought to life by new acoustic modeling technology, simulating the soundscape of the world.

>Forza Horizon 6 introduces updated Forza Aero and the very much requested ability to paint liveries on windows! In addition, we have also added new rims, and you can now install different rims on the front and rear of your cars. What's more, cars are now also affected by the world around them. New cosmetic tire wear means each car responds authentically as you rack up the miles on those iconic Japanese roads.

To be honest, looking at it long enough I noticed that the windshield and hood curvatures are incorrect, which results in a different connecting point between the two surfaces. Rear lights are also different.
On the other hand, NFS has wrong headlights and the door is slightly too big.

I hate soft front arbs

>>2240372
actually FH5 was a last-gen game with a current-gen port. 6 is the first one designed specifically for current-gen

>>2241554
So it will look worse and require 2x the hardware?

>>2241576
Stop noticing things goy

>>2241554
Considering that this is the last gen of home electronics, there's no point in waiting for anything better. There won't be another Xbox, there won't be another PS, there won't be another Switch, the Steam console will never release and the only PC parts better than what we have now will only be affordable by the richest 1%. Even "next gen" smartphones will be worse than the ones we already had. That's because almost nobody would be able to afford better, vastly more expensive electronics thanks to AI ruining everything.

>>2241651
Looks that way. I was super hesitant to buy a 5090, but after seeing the retardation with the 4090 and how it's still worth more than MSRP used, It seems like it was the right choice.

>>2241651
people have been saying this since 2009

with hardware so stupidly overpriced can we go back to developing on ue4 and other last gen engines?

>>2241665
This is different. No one cases about selling to consumers anymore. It's not like you can make electronics components in you back yard.

>>2241687
people have been saying this since 2009

>>2241666
No, you will pay a subscription to "rent" hardware from Nvidia and play on their datacenter cloud. Since you will be paying monthly, you won't even realize that you're buying a 5090 every two years.

>>2241665
>>2241688
t. AI investor

>>2241688
Yes but now the three manufacturer are saying it and are actually doing it. Crucial is gone, samsung has cut 3/4 consumer production, and the left over manufacturing has already been slotted(pre-paid) to AI production through 2027. NVIDIA Super series cancelled, no 60 series till late 2027, and AIB partners now have to source their own VRAM, which doesn't exist. Cell phones scaling back etc, etc. It going to be a bad few years.

>>2241705
and what happens when the AI bubble pops in 18 months?

>>2241692
>t. zoomer who has never experienced a recession

>>2241710
We will still have two years for production to swing back. and prices will stay relatively high, because why not. And that's without the inevitable government bailout.

>>2241712
>AI companies all go bankrupt because everyone realises boiling the oceans to generate a video of a chicken morphing into a dog has no usecase
>suddenly all the silicon manufacturers have warehouses full of hardware they can't sell because the buyers all went bust and their cheques bounced
nb4 "they'll just price gouge them anyway because they can somehow sit on unsold goods for years making no profit and stay solvent"

>>2241690
Yep. Dark times. I was talking to a guy at work yesterday and he mentions building computers on the side for money. I asked about his personal rig and he said everything cost too much so he rents from NVIDIA. It really is over.

>>2241716
That stuff is enterprise not consumer grade. They aren't the same, but use the same facilities. Maybe consumer grade parts will be made to incorporate the higher tier stuff. That would be cool I guess.

>>2241721
I wouldn't buy from him

>>2241725
you're aware silicon is recyclable, right?

>>2241726
Yea, I lost all respect and I think he saw it drain from my body in real time. That being said, he is an example of someone who is above a casual user switching over.

>>2241729
Well that certainly doesn't sound cheap. Give me some of that recycled DDR5.

>>2241738
cheaper than it sitting unsold in a warehouse until its obsolete.

>>2241739
Maybe? I guess we will see. Regardless the die is cast for the next three years.

Stuff is not expensive because of raw materials genius. Nobody can turn it into memory.
There were some rumors about more factories opening up in 2026 but there's so much fud about it that I have no idea what's actually happening anymore

>>2241716
>>2241738
tbf, they will keep prices high to make profit after years of bum check ai orders, and no way they will sell "cheap" used hardware from ai farms at any point

>>2241744
they'll sell it at whatever price keeps them in business. they're charging >>2241743
prices because most of their orders come from AI enterprise orgs these days. the sales figures for private use memory is absolutely not sustainable without them. so what happens when those AI enterprise customers disappear? they cut prices to move stock quickly to make their money back, or they go bust.
>bailouts
this shit is all made in Taiwan, they can't afford a GM-style bailout.

>>2241748
US will bail them out with the condition that they share all tech with the US based fabs. Of course it will be a boondoggle and everyone will suffer.

>>2241710
>recession
This is not a recession, though. Stonks are soaring.

>>2241744
Hardware from AI farms is not suitable for gaming.

>>2241725
You can save memory in that way - by removing it from the die and soldering onto something that is made for general use, but you'd get better gaming performance from a 3080 than from a H200.

>>2241754
we don't even officially acknowledge Taiwan as a country.

>>2241794
How many data centers have Blackwell 6000s? I want a few second hand.

>>2241804
Why. It would just stir the pot for no reason.

>>2241807
handing them a blank cheque would be a much bigger pot-stir. China would lose their shit over that, and we are just as reliant on them from an economic standpoint. we've been walking a thin line of diplomacy to keep both in our good graces for decades.

>>2241823
Yep, but if the US didn't bail them out then China would gladly.

>>2241836
And if China bailed them out, they'd probably add a few hooks that'd lead to integration, which would remove the only card from America's hand.

>>2241805
You'd probably need your case to have a very efficient air circulation system, since the server version doesn't have any fans and relies on fans that are mounted directly to the server rack and force air through the whole structure.
You may be thinking of the workstation version, which does have fans, but it's not mounted in datacenters, usually.

>>2241847
Someone would just make water blocks.

Billions must touch grass. The laws of physics and capitalism and nerdery dictate that datacenter hosted gaming will never be good enough in terms of latency and cost and availability for discrete electronics to go away fully, ever. It'll be offered as a solution to casual idiots and everyone else will have a pc or a console. You're consooming too much propaganda and need to take a propaganda at the ocean while you're at the beach instead.

"WAAAAAAAAAH ELECTRONICS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE!"

Shut the FUCK up you retarded little groid child, I was building pc's in the fucking 90's, you have no goddamn idea what an expensive pc looks like. Adjusted for inflation I was spending 10k on gaming rigs for hardware that would be outperformed by your sumbitchin steam deck a dozen times over before you were even born. Get a goddamn job, save your money, buy used hardware, quit trying to play at 4k when it's not even ready yet, and give your fucking nuts a tug.

>>2242229
I've spent 1k on a single dildo before, platinum cure silicone and quality craftsmanship and design processes aren't free and I have 0% regret about it. The same way I don't regret liquid cooling components even if it's wildly more expensive. Instead of being a fag and just continuing to tell you you're poor and mad about it, I will agree that prices for hardware are ridiculous right now. But so is the price of anything anywhere because of various retarded economic policies. Just run what you have and wait until shit gets better and buy then, or buy used now, nobody actually needs anything more than a 7800x3d and a 3090ti anyway unless they're playing iRacing in which case a 9800x3d makes sense. If you wanna be a big dick baller and drop 5k on a 5090 to just barely be able to do 4k maxed out at 30-60fps in modern sloppAAA titles then you lose the right to bitch about price to begin with because even if economic policy was sane right now a 5090 would still be 2500-3k all day long.

Either scrounge used shit and overclock the fuck out of it like you're buying clapped out LS truck motors at the junk yard to slap nitrous kits on to go drag racing, or pay out the ass for the latest and greatest bespoke shit. Those are your options. Those have always been the only two realistic options. You either go full retard budget or you have a fully retarded budget and anything inbetween is for morons.

>>2242387
The only thing stopping me from liquid cooling is the "liquid" part. Every time I think about it, I imagine it leaking and what's that gonna cause.

Fuck, it's basically gonna be the same.

>>2242423
If it's a custom system you do a pressure test and a leak test with the computer powered down completely and unplugged first, and if it's a sealed unit from a reputable manufacturer the only way it's going to leak is if you put excessive tension on the lines or cut a line or the radiator. The sealed units often use non conductive liquid as well but that can still cause shorts if the liquid hits dusty components and enough of it leaks. It's a valid concern but there's ways to mitigate it.

Or you can just go full retard and do soldered copper lines and if those leak you have far bigger problems. Technically all modern air cooling is still liquid cooling at least in part if it uses heatpipes and most modern heatsinks do.

>>2242387
>5090 to just barely be able to do 4k maxed out at 30-60fps in modern sloppAAA titles
Aren't there only two titles that make a 5090 go so low? Cyberpunk and that one chink slop souls clone.

>>2242476
I'd never recommend frame gen for anything competitive, but it's amazing in cyber punk. It makes for a great experience. That and DLSS 4.5 is amazing if you need to run Ultra Performance mode. It's pure witch craft when devs give a shit. The problem is you still need a high end card to properly take advantage of the tech.

>>2242489
>when devs give a shit
I wish they gave the same amount of shit when it comes to anti aliasing. Their implementation of TAA was ass.

>>2242495
Yep. Just let DLSS fix it was not the intent.

Horizon 5 fag here. Anything I need to know about the game? Like, is there a best car for every event that I need special tuning for? What should I set the drivertar difficulty to, I'm kinda afraid of them just bodying me.
Also: is there a way to quick travel to the daily challenges?

>>2242608
The best car is the one you actually like. In single player you will only need a handful of cars to be competitive. Just learn to tune and drive. Set difficulty to the point where you are challenged but still having fun. Some races in unbeatable are just a torture test to beat. I think you need to buy a house or something to unlock fast travel? Then you need do find the fast travel billboards on the map to make it affordable. Have fun!

>>2242624
>learn to tune
Not enough of a carhead to know anything about fuck about tuning. I kinda just download whatever tuning / modding profile is available for an event. Right now I downloaded something for the "fine china" event, and boy the car feels like it's on ice. Zero control. Any tips on spotting a good tuning setting?
>Have fun!
Thanks anon!

>>2242608
use Highly Skilled as your first base difficulty to beat because that's what the playlist championships are set at
soon it'll be a breeze. you set your own progress really. Move up in difficulty as you git gud. learn to drive stock. The ai will be stock too if you are

>>2242638
Yeah I'm on highly skilled. I think I'm gonna go up at least one, because I seem to be winning quite handily.
How accurate are the racing lines and break indicator assists? I'm no expert, but I feel like the break indicators are... very bad? I see many spots where there's just a little bump to the left or right and the line goes deep deep red.
Stock might be interesting, I kinda assumed I always need to tune my car.

>>2242634
You need to learn to tune yourself. Most of the ones you download are shit. And you don't need any real car experience to tune. Forza physics and tuning are their own thing. Not 100 percent related to the real world. If you need any help with a car post here and get some tips.

>>2242644
The racing line is just a general recomendation. Once you learn your car you can better gauge what you can get away with.

>>2242649

Thanks anons. I'm not a good racer, but horizon is pretty fun. Not too hardcore sim, not quite "just need for speed". Pretty excited for Horizon 6.

I'll check it out, thanks. Doing your own tuning and upgrading is pretty intimidating as a casual player. There's just a trillion possible configurations, which is why I usually just look for something that mentions the current event I'm driving and go with that.

The braking line is 75% perfect, 20% ranging from "could do better" to "could do a lot better", and 5% "you'll crash if you follow the line". Mostly on that one corner in the desert track and a couple of steep downhills because it doesn't account for weight transfer.

Makes sense. The thing I mostly noticed was like I said it showing absolutely unnecessary breaking.

>one turn on the desert track
Is that the windy right into slope before hard left turn one on the sprint? That's the only brake line I take seriously
