Respectfully, I'm not following how you liking Skate means it can't be rated 4/10 on IGN. That is, a 4/10 on the IGN rubric means 'bad', and I think it's bad.

Forza Horizon 6 Heads to Japan: β€˜This Is the Time We Can Actually Do It Justice’ - IGN Playground Games speaks with IGN about making a map that feels authentic to Japanese players and international gamers alike.

Details on Forza Horizon 6 are light, but if you want a bit more insight, I spoke with Don Arceta, art director at Playground Games, and cultural consultant Kyoko Yamashita late last week ahead of today's reveal.

Forza hits Tokyo: cannot wait for this one.

Okay, I guess I'll only be playing the new Skate later, then?

Wait, no, I am no longer playing the new Skate

Still makes no fucking sense Vin Diesel has successfully coaxed Michael Caine out of retirement to pop up in The Last Witch Hunter 2, and not to take the piss out of Jason Statham, say something wise, and toss Dominic Toretto the keys to the fastest '67 Cooper S ever conceived.

I'm in, but I reckon we expand it even further.

Helicopter landing - 140 metres away

Dude doing a mediocre job backing a caravan into a small space - 170 metres away

Massive chance this magpie and brown snake are about to punch on - 110 metres away

Love to sleep. I do it once a day, every day.

Yeah folks, clear error, and if I was on the clock I would've been able to help, but it was overnight and it wasn't to be. In the meantime, if you're a car nerd like me, digging into C&Cs sales list reveals some neat potential:

Of course, there are other exciting questions beyond kei cars. There are some pretty sick Subaru Legacy wagons on the C&C website and, hell, someone seems to have been back in Australia: Tell me they got a couple more local scans up their sleeve while they were back in the neighbourhood!

Daihatsu has never been in Forza, and I have a decent soft spot for (old) Daihatsus as my very first car was a 1984 Charade. Most of the Daihatsus through this importer are mini trucks (Hijet) but there are a few exceptions. Mind that this doesn't guarantee anything, but there's neat potential here.

You'll spot the Honda N Box and Mitsubishi Pajero Junior, but also lots and lots of Suzukis and Daihatsus. Suzuki hasn’t been in Forza since FM4, and the car pictured in the deleted post is a Suzuki Every panel van. Cult & Classic has also imported a lot of Suzuki Carry and Super Carry mini trucks.

Sold Vehicles - Cult & Classic Cars we've either imported into Australia, sold, or both! If there's something here you like, contact us for current pricing.

There’s a process, but essentially you can import anything over 25 years old, and cars under 25 years old that are on the β€œspecialist and enthusiast vehicles (SEVs)” register. Anyway, take a look at the cars that have come through this importer: cultandclassic.com.au/sold-cars/

If you’re following me from outside Australia and are confused why anybody would come here to source JDM kei cars, we’re a right-hand drive market, and there are a bunch of late model kei cars that are approved to import here (I’m assuming language and cost help, also).

I'm sympathetic to the Forza folks for what very much seems to be a pretty significant hint here. It isn't the first sniff we've had, but anybody making anything has the right to surprise their fans when they see fit. That said, as a giant car dork, I'm excited looking over the possibilities here.

That first note teases some kind of epic strings-and-all version of For What It's Worth but it didn't happen.

They've Buffalo-blue-balled me on this shit, Joaby.

This is great, but it has successfully made me want to play it to see how much I'll also hate it, so joke's on... you? Or maybe me? Probably me.

Yeah, I've never understood the ire over The Lost World. It's the only JP sequel I like. One dumb gymnastics scene and we're supposed to write off the other 128 minutes of Spielberg going hard?

"We have a problem. I'm going to be very honest, we have been testing the game with players and the results are too good. They like it too much."

Yeah, that's a real crisis. Scrap everything.

Haha, fair. I have a high cheese threshold for action movies. Some people might say extremely high. Some people are my wife, asking me what the difference is between Bloodfist, Bloodfight, and Bloodsport 2, and why I suddenly needed all three of these.
