Will we be expecting 1080p and 60fps again or more?
Will Turn 10 be trying to implement some VR development?
I anticipate nothing more than 1080p 60 fps, which (considering recent releases) is a milestone in and of itself.

I did read that both consoles were going to get a hardware update sometime this year so we might be able to get more. It would be nice but 1080p 60FPS is enough for some people.
What hardware upgrade?
They will be coming out with a better and more up to date one in the coming year or so. Just like they did with the Xbox 360. It is still in “consideration” but it will happen because that is what the consumers want.
I think that 1080 60fps in enough for Forza 6. I would prefer if kept it that way because it would mean that the framerate would be pretty much cemented. If they go for higher resolution than we may see framerate drops like we have in Project Cars. Even if the hardware upgrades could mean something like 1200P 60fps, I think thay would not risk it and keep it at 1080p 60fps until they are sure they can make it work smoothly. And as for the VR headset I pressume they won’t. The Hololens hasn’t been released yet and I think it is too late for them to be considering implementing that for Forza 6 now. I think they will wait until forza horizon 3 possibly even forza 7 until that becomes a feature.
Project CARS is on a brand new engine isn’t it? They still have yet to perfect it.
No, it’s running on the Madness Engine which was started in 2006/2007 and has powered previous games since its release in 2009. I’m pretty sure vast improvements are out the window.
To those expecting VR on the Xbox One, I have a rich grandmother in Nigeria who just passed away. If you give me 10,000 bucks I need to fly over there and get my shots and such I will send it back to you plus interest when I return. Sound good and you will believe anything or are both ridiculous?

So you think the VR is never going to happen? It is not terribly hard to do it is just when Microsoft sees a market for it they will release it.
There is 2 types of VR.
You have Side by Side, similiar to the tech in 3D tv’s.
And then you have 3D rendered VR, whereby the scene is rendered once for each eye.
One requires substantially more power than the other. Rift minimum requirements are:
NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD 290 equivalent or greater
Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater
8GB+ RAM
HDMI 1.3 video output supporting a 297MHz clock via a direct output architecture
2x USB 3.0 ports
Windows 7 SP1 or newer
a GTX 970 (if you are in the US) is the same price as the xbox one itself…
You do the math.
If it ever becomes possible to use VR with the X1, I think it’d be insanely cool to be able to use ForzaVista with a headset. Can you imagine being able to walk around extremely high detail cars as if they were actually right there in front of you?
Better yet, imagine being able to race while wearing a VR headset. Suddenly you can look around the car without having to move a thumbstick, but most importantly, the immersion and sense of speed goes up considerably.
Being able to look out the windows without having to hit the thumb sticks is a dream. Quite hard to do when you are racing and going full speed.
