Not only was it playable on a special triple-screened rig, but there were standard Xbox One rigs set up as well.
What I am wondering however, is whether this or another setup will be available as a downloadable demo before launch?
My best guess is that whatever build they use at Gamescom will be what is available to the public, as that’s about a month before release. Forza Motorsport 5 was a launch title, but as far as I’m aware all older Forzas did have a playable demo before launch.
Hopefully we hear something soon, would be good to get a taste of the game before release.
I expect a demo for Forza 6 but I don’t think it wll be the same as the E3 demo, but I don’t think it will differ too much either. I’m sure Forza 5 would have had a demo too if it wasn’t a launch title.
Never mind that, how many weeks until the demo? lol
The game launches in 8 weeks, or just under in the US. We normally get a few weeks of demo time, so it will likely be middle to end of august, that is mere weeks away! Time to get excited!
Based on Microsoft’s standard practices, I would assume the demo to launch during Gamescom. Since this is the last major Gaming expo to hit before its launch, One could assume, that they attempt to steer the hype train, directly into your home, announcing the demo is available NOW, during their featured presentation of Forza 6.
Otherwise, assume the demo to launch around Christmas, taking a DRIVECLUB attempt to woo gamers with a Free or cheap version of Forza LITE. This would basically provide JUST enough of the game to reassure people to drop the money on the game… as their first purchase for the console.
Forza 5 was a no-brainer for me at launch, and was the main reason I jumped ship from the 360. With the Backwards compatibility lining up the holidays, It might be safe to assume that the Xbox One could launch with 15 games for the Holiday Bundle, and include 360 games that people really want.
What makes you all think that we will get a demo? We didn’t get one for FM5, only for FH/FH2. I doubt we’ll get a demo. As for FM6 preload, probably the week before UE early access, so, September 3, or it may just be the day before, September 9th.
Demos have seemed to phase out from consoles. There’s the occasional beta, but the downloadable play as much as you want demo? I can’t remember the last AAA game that had one. Maybe someone can mention a recent one but I can’t. Not counting on a demo.
And, of course, FM1 didn’t have one. I might be wrong because FM1 came before the digital boom and there might be some old demo discs with a FM1 demo included.
