Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[McLaren]

I haven't seen the M400 since the PGR days.

...And now I'm sad. Thanks, PG.

When I mentioned it was in TDU, I made a note to not mention it was also last seen in PGR to spare the sadness. But, no, you just had to bring it up.

There is almost no new news in today's Forza Monthly.
They announced that sign language has been added to the cutscenes, and that's all the update information they had for FH5 in this live stream.
Looks like we'll have to wait another half hour or so to see what they have in store for us.

What? Festival float race!?

The 6th update would be called "Horizon Customs Update" (More bodykits/wheels/Tuner Update?). The cars mentioned by ALumia_Italia on Twitter are a near exact match, although some of the release dates of these cars are inaccurate. Here's what I've learnt within their Update 5 stream:

• The 2003 Honda S2000 and 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata's convertible roofs will be fixed in the future.
• The time progression in Photo Mode will be fixed.
• Horizon Open Filtering would be a new feature in the next update.
• The devs are aware of the cheaters on the rivals/PR Stunt leaderboards and they're committed to fixing it.
• More Eventlab rules will come soon.
• All of the bugged daily Forzathon challenges in Series 1 and 2 would be automatically completed.
• There will be a special event type, called Seasonal Special, where you race in the Horizon Parade Floats.
• Series 1 and 2 props will be available in Eventlab.

You can achieve 20 points easily by doing:

• Weekly Forzathon Challenge (5)
• 4 PR Stunts (8; No need to do the mind-breaking trailblazers) or 3 PR Stunts and 1 seasonal championship (11 points)
• Monthly Rivals (4)
• Treasure Hunts (3)

Perhaps the return of Rocket Bunny's body kit?

Funnily enough I watched a documentary about the Merkur brand on youtube recently, I had no idea they sold Sierra's in the states. Once I had finished the documentary it was clear to me why I hadn't known about it given how much of a disaster it was😃

The one good outcome of it was that the early Group A Sierra touring cars could be homologated as Merkurs, allowing them to run a turbocharged engine. Once the RS Cosworth came along that took over, but initially they were all technically XR4Tis.

Linking it back to the SVO again, that also donated its tougher 5-speed to the RWD Cosworths, which along with the twin-cam head were two of the major drivetrain improvements over the XR4Ti.

Any of the leaked cars match the rod & customs or tuner designation that could be a part of Season 6?

Don't forget that there are some more "odd" custom rods in the list, possibly the Lincoln Mark VII LSC and VIII LSC.

I regret lurking the official FH5 forums, if I wanted something that toxic I should have just snacked on rat poison.

I think those are a little too new for Rod&Custom.
They probably belong in the Retro Saloon or Retro Muscle category.
Models like the Hoonigan Dually Hot Rod would probably belong in the Rod&Custom category....

What do you expect? Of course you're going to see this. It's never ending. It's best to ignore it.

The Mustang SVO from the Car Pass will be first to be released in 2 days.

 

[Turboteg90]

They messed up the description for the tundra that is coming up, they have it as a V6.

 

[nukleabomb]

I was very curious about this, what were the internal codenames for the expansions for previous horizon titles??

Also this might just be wishful thinking, but since series 6 is called Horizon Customs update, could it relate to the expansion internally titled "nightlights/nightfall". It could be customs and tuner related with neons and some sort of focus on night/street racing?

If you look at the PC game files of FH4. Fortune Island is called either "Savage" or "Savage Island" refering to the weather. Lego expansion is simply called "Red". Meanwhile the base game is called "Sunrise". If you watched last night stream, one of the dev calling FH4 as "Project Sunrise" before correcting him self.

As RageRacer recommended, it's best to ignore those people and avoid that forum in general. It will always be toxic.

Anyways, I'm super DUPER happy to finally see the Noble M400 make it's way to Forza! I remember driving it's counterpart in a racing game called Total Immersion Racing. Ahhh, the memories. I also agree we should get more everyday vehicles in Horizon. They make the experience all the more better, and fun.

Also 765LT and the GT3 wow.

the mach e 1400 has forza stickers on it
370z is forsbergs rally 370z

 

[TheAdmiester]

Barn find files also added for 1910 Fiat S76 "Beast of Turin" and 1967 Hurst Shifters Baja Boot. A barnfind texture was added to the "CommunityGiftEvents" texture zip, so chances are one or both of these will work just like secret santa.

Thanks for the digging! These are really solid. Before I Googled I thought this was the normal Mustang Mach E (Playground, please add that later on), but this one should be massive fun Then, the 2 McLaren are great additions although I can see some criticism to the 620R as we already have the 570S and 600LT, but personally I like it when manufacturers are represented like this.

The 992 GT3 will be highly welcome and that Nissan looks like fun.

That Fiat... If they want Fiat to return with a bang, a 28.5 litre engine should do the trick

 

[TokoTurismo]

We're getting more barn finds eh? If that is indeed true, I've actually found one of the barn finds that's not on the map. So maybe, just MAYBE, that Fiat could very well be saved for that? I wonder. Btw, I saw that car in action from Goodwood, and it sounds MEAN!

Also, I KNEW Forza would get the all new Porsche 911 GT3! But also the new Ford Mustang Mach E and Mclaren 765LT? No FREAKIN WAY! The rest, CAN NOT WAIT TO GET THEM!!

 

[Vince_GT]

I'm Speechless. The S76 Beast Of Turin in a videogame?! Holy Moly!!
So seems Fiat/Alfa/Lancia will return with a bang. Nice!
And also 765LT and the 911 GT3 992??! GREAT!!

 

[Stupornaut]

Never heard of the Baja Boot, but now I want it ASAP. Hopefully it'll be filed under Buggies so that category has more than just those two VWs.

Beast Of Turin my god man. If that means we can get a month dedicated to the Goodwood Festival Of Speed then that would be sick. They should have tried it during FH4's lifetime but better late than never.

 

[TheAdmiester]

I skimmed over this one too quick and thought it was actually the existing GTO - from the new sign language clips:

Are we getting 3 new barn finds in the base game or maybe the expansion is closer that we think and this is tied to it. I guess we won't know for sure until an announcement is made.

Either way, it was also at Goodwood so maybe that's not too far off.

The latest update added a "barn find" graphic inside the CommunityGiftEvents.zip UI file. Secret Santa was a community gift event, so make of that what you will.

👏👏👏
Nice PG/MS, really loving the new update! Have to redownload the whole game again like every other update for this game.

288 GTO Evoluzione O_O
The only videogame who have this car it's the good ol' PGR4 (and if i count not licensed games Art of Rally too)
