FM6 Introducing Forza Motorsport 6: Apex Premium Edition

[Paul Jeffrey]

Turn 10 Studios and Microsoft have released the Forza Motorsport 6: Apex Premium Edition for Windows 10 PC, adding the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife and an additional 14 new cars from the Caterham Superlight R500 to the mighty 2016 Nissan #1 NISMO MOTUL AUTECH GT-R as seen racing in the Japanese GT Series.

Originally shipped as more of free tech demo for Windows 10 PC, Turn 10 Studios have now gone a further step with the title and released a more fleshed out paid version of the game. Essentially the Premium Edition adds both the Power to Weight and Hyper Endurance Car Packs plus the epic Nordschleife circuit in both dry and wet conditions as well as a night and day variant. Alongside the new content (that can be purchased as both an upgrade to the existing base game or as the standalone Premium edition) Turn 10 have added "several new Spotlight events purpose built to showcase their capabilities". All cars and the Nordschleife can be played in both Free Play mode and their respective Showcase events.

I would happily buy it.

IF IT HAD FREAKING MULTI CONTROLLER SUPPORT!

 

[Brownninja97]

They are having a laugh, what is so hard about porting forza 6. This seems like a very bad deal.

 

[Jozsusz]

Does the R18 e-tron have finally 7 gears, or not? This game is a joke. Everything is only about graphics.

 

[Tom Blackett]

The Demo looked hot but the feel was poor to shameful. Step up to the plate and deliver or go back to the console for good.

 

[Mike Chaney]

No Fanatec, no money.

 

[Keith Joyce]

Yay - I'm Numero Uno at Nords



edit: (and Spa...)

 

[AnklaX]

Was considering uninstalling. Looks like more to play around with. What I really want to hear is that the wheel FFB is done properly. Is it? Anyone? Seriously, The Crew has better wheel FFB than Apex.

 

[BoxOfAwesomeness]

Port the ENTIRE game with all the events. And add fanatec support + multiple controller. I bet this game will never see the day, just a bunch of dlc with no interest ( no progression whatsoever ). What is so hard about porting the full game. Just to see how much money they can take. Where's the love for racing pc fans.

 

[Ignazio Pinella]

As said, I want to give ffb a try but I need multiple controller support because I have my CSP hard mounted and I don't want to unmount every time I want to do a spin...

 

[kmanitou81]

The driving is so bad in this and it has a bad FOV.

 

[Alex72]

Needs proper FOV option, multiple controller function, triple screen support and decent FFB. If not then its just another good looking gamepad arcade fun game.

 

[Case_]

I see they still completely ignore the existence of Logitech DFGT wheel, one of the most common steering wheels out there. So no, I will not buy their "premium" edition.

 

[bpeigne35]

I will only buy it if:
- the 21/9 wide screen format is supported
- my TH8A shifter and my USB handbrake are supported

 

[thatmotorfreak]

Might as well wait for Forza 7 and enjoy Horizon 3 (on the Xbox)...

 

[-Alf-]

After trying the Demo/Free version, some time ago, only if i was crazy i would spend cash on this.
- Bad FFB
- Bad FOV
- No Multi controller support
- Weird Physics, even for an Arcade/Simcade. It's understeer, understeer, understeer, oversteer.
Graphically, game is awesome, no doubt on that, but that's all this game has to offer...

 

[Schwud Nelsh]

I installed this and horizon 3 what a waste of time without multi controller they were deleted inside of 30sec's of playing what a load of s..... they will never break the PC market if they only concentrate on graphics how many of us have not bothered with the game because they don't listen to their audience give us proper wheel support and try spending more than 5mins on the FFB PLAYGROUND GAMES & TURN10 nice idea but not thought through that well!!!

 

[R Bruno]

No triple monitor support ? Is it for real ? come on...

 

[Ryan Soucy]

No Fanatec, no money.

I mean seriously...how many times do I have to say how stupid I feel staring at my Fanatec Forza CSR wheel that does not play nice with the FREAKING GAME THAT BEARS ITS NAME!!!!!

 

[Brian Himmelman]

I use Oculus Big Screen ... as a simcade it is immersive but need Accuforce and Fanatec V3 pedal support to be taken serious
