August DLC ?

For those wondering about Mechberg’s confirmation of an August DLC pack, that is viewable in the twitch stream replay I’ve linked below, go to 39 minutes in to hear the man say it.

I heard what he said at 39 minutes and towards the end of the video, Mechberg accidentally said that there is an August DLC coming this Tuesday, Aug. 2. So I’m going to wait this night and still cheer for my Koenigsegg Regera to appear. Let’s go Regera. =)

i’m down for one more car pack lets see hoping everyone.

Yep this will be the last one for the current title, 12 DLCs in total, 2 Expansion Packs and loads of cars.

I’ll be hanging out till it’s released to see what’s finally on offer.

I’m sure many will be disappointed, many will be happy, and theres bound to be heaps that are just plan unmoved…

And of course theres going to be the ones that complain bitterly because Turn 10 didn’t deliver the cars they asked for…

Be great if we got a track extension or one of the bigger circuits have one of their hidden ribbons unlocked.

Hmmm, that’d be super nice…

Not an official source to state such, even actually considering people thought once the season pass ended the DLC was done, much like FM5. Although Turn10 have said they would, “support DLC past FH3’s launch” especially with the Forza Racing Championship they’re building with “future content updates in the weeks and months to come.”

Just because Playground Games is about to put Horizon 3 on the market, doesn’t mean Motorsport 6 meets a dead-end of content flow.

Confirmed?

It’s always been in that rotation mate.

The various teams work on a very tight timetable. So that the balance of the development team can then be moved onto the next iteration.

Most of the team are already well underway into FM7 (?) and they leave a smaller maintainence team yo deal with oddities, various CUs et and bug fixing etc.

By the time the game shipped, part of the mai. Team had already been moved onto the next iteration, then when the end of 6 months after release, often another segment of the team is moved to the next iteration team, leaving a team that then finishes off getting the last of the 12 DLCs ready for distribution. Dealing with issues, bug fixes etc.

The games work on a strict 12 month turnover. Allowing each game 24 months out in the wild. It’s been working in that fashion for he last 6 years.

I’d be very surprised if there was any more DLCs after this one, whenever it does drop.

So there’s been no official word, then.

It’s been hinted at in several official threads and interviews, but you only have to go do e investigation.to find out. I used to do reviews of games for our website for over 7 yrs, and got to understand the running shoes of games, especially those put out by MS.

I’ve had the distinct privilege to be invited to several MS game release events over the years, and you get to glean things from what they say, and especially what they DONT say at time lol…

They have said that there’s 12DLCs, this is the 12th DLC… And it is August, and Horizon ships in September. And all previous title DLCs stop once the next title is released.

Simple math really.

This one though will have some added bonuses, so expect more than just 7 odd cars.

Even Brisn hints at it I his last weeks Twitch… Commenting thet we’re in for a surprise and to look for some great things happening with Forza Motorsports soon.

They’ll hot out with a bang, hopefully with done great cars, a decent gameplay upgrade, or even a track? Who knows.

But expect something nice and rewarding as a close to the title. It’ll still be ‘maintsuned’, but not increased in cars or tracks etc. those sorts of things are being funnelled into FM 7 (?)

But if anyone is expecting a huge number of new cars, or expecting all their Wishlists requests to be fulfilled, then they’re going to be deeply disappointed indeed.

Where do I go to see at what time these Twitch thingies are streaming?

They cant make everyone happy all at once lol. There’s always people going to complain about something in a car pack no matter what it is. If they even did add a car people asked for they will find something wrong with the car just to complain lol. Cant please everyone. I’m one of the ones that doesn’t care whats in the pack ill still buy it just to have the cars.

Lets not forgot there’s going to be a content update rolling with the car pack as well based on what they said last month. Heres hoping they really fix freeplay this time around and some glitches/on going bugs.

True, very true mste. Sad thing is, ppl will find fault dimply because they can, or more to the point, because they want to create controversy.

And like you say, ppl will find fault in a car they wanted. Simply because, they can…

We may well get a few more CUs, as they include fixes, as well as car files for the DLCs …

But I’m wondering what the “something special” is… I suppose time will tell. Hopefully better gameplay mechanics around Freeplay, Multiplayer issues, and circuit fixes?? Here’s hoping…

So we should get news about the pack in about an hour right?

only IF there’s one today, not officially confirmed yet so give it between 5 minutes and 2 hours and we’ll see if there’s one today

If they do they do if they don’t they don’t. No ones knows but Turn10.

would anyone want the 2016 Zenvo TSR I mention this cause badnet over on forzaplanet post a pic of one for no reason 30 minutes ago. Probably means nothing but one can hope lol.

It’s just a wishlist thread with hundreds of other cars in it.

on top of that. Banded can wish for cars also lol.

He posted that in the Car wish list thread on there.
