Just tried the truck out, that was great fun. I can see that being a right laugh online as the speeds are so slow. Does the "Play anywhere" thing mean it will be cross platform? I haven't got an Xbox but use my PC so will I be able to play online with you lot :P
The disc version is Xbox, the digital version is Play Anywhere Xbox and PC.

Game have started packing the Ultimate Editions, delivery due on Friday for early access. I didn't realise early access applied to physical copies, thought it was just digital ones woohoo

Just played the demo. A whole heap of meh...

I haven't played a forza since forza 4 and horizon 1 on the 360 but it didn't really feel like it's moved on much. The truck was a nice difference.

Will look out for it when it's price comes down but it didn't draw me in at all unfortunately.

That being said I've been struggling to find any game to really get excited about lately!

So 6:47.3 around the Nurburgring in the GT2RS seems like a thing to do now when the game comes out smile .

The completely planted car in that video is a world away from the one I drove in the demo! I’ll be aiming for 10 minutes smile

Just got a dispatch notification from the Microsoft store with my ultimate edition.

Maybe it's time to resurrect Jelly Belly! smile

The release coincides with my week off, but I'm going to hold off for a while.

I've only had 4 and 6. 4 was good, lots of different races to sample lots of lower spec cars.

6 was disappointing.

They need to take a leaf out of Gran Turismos of old book and not make it so easy to earn money! I loved old GTs so much because you had to graft for earnings and slowly mod your cars to be more competitive.

Within a couple of hours of playing Forza you have enough money to buy some of the fastest cars in the game.

Woohoo! Just got my Game email last night. Getting delivered today.

I'm on a nightshift so will have to stick a sign on the door telling the postie to knock loud and gimmie a chance to wake up. I'm not missing it!

I can't wait. Renewed my Xbox live last weekend and dug FM6 out. I'm pants now but hey ho.

I just love it online. Adds a whole other dimension. Career mode is sooo boring.

Roll on the weekend. Sod's law I've got manflu and have almost lost my voice but that's no biggie.

My Xbox name is Marky911turbo and I'm usually in E and D class.

Has anyone who pre ordered the ultimate digital version from cdkeys had the code yet? My page is still saying the code will be available on or before 29th September. On the Forza forums people are getting mad, cancelling the pre order for a refund and buying it again from the MS store.

I'm not that worried yet as I've got plans for the weekend now so won't be on it until Sunday if it downloads today. I still want to get it installed on my Xbox though.

Has anyone played the full release yet? Is it better than the demo? I have a free weekend, so I'm tempted to buy it later tonight. However after playing every incarnation of the series, including the Horizon series, the demo felt not too dissimilar to FM5 and FM6.

Just downloaded the Ultimate Edition, all ready to go but every time I click the game it comes up with errors so I can't play it... great.

Just had a shot of the gt2 on dubai and slight improvement over the demo with same assists.

Truck is not as planted.

Mine still hasn't been delivered. Damn you Game!
I've popped back into work for a few hours but the minute I get the call I'm out of here.

Is Mugello club back too then? Used to love that.
I used to like Camino Viejo and Iberian too.
Don't know if they were in FM6? They certainly weren't available in D class.

I'm sure Mugello Club is back.IIRC you could race that in Front class without touching the brakes
Viejo and Iberian aren't, weren't in 5 or 6 either.

So quick update

Handling still a bit understeary but a hell of a lot better to pick up and play than project cars 2. Have finished more races in a couple hours on forza than pc2 in a week.

Online is a ridiculous crash fest.

Graphics prety spot on but disappointed in the trucks engine. Doesnt look good when following.

AI pretty much try and go where they are programmed so that needs updating as they try bash you out of the road which is frustrating. Especially when you have inside line and are passing.

Will write more when I get a chance.

Cool. Thanks for the info.
Well I've just checked my email from Game and being sent Royal Mail 1st Class so it isn't going to come now.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
