Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[AlienDeathRay]

I won my 2nd Eliminator. By far my best performance. 4 Eliminations and 3 were cars better than mine. I took a far more aggressive approach and it paid dividends. Before the final were stuck at the top of the mountain. I had the Andretti Beattle Class 9 and got challenged by a Class 10 Centanario. I beat him up the hill. I was relunctant to take the Centenario, but I need the accolade for the Class 10 car in Eliminator. The Beattle had amazing hill climb abilities which I thought would be to my advantage. It was a short wait to Final Elimination. I chose to go down the Trailblazer path down the mountain and blew everyone away to the finish near the reservior.

Hmm... FastLaneGaming's asked Duke Dynamics if their Porsche 992 GT3 Body kit's gonna come to FH5, and it looks like that they are working on it.

The exact chat between FLG and Duke Dynamics is on the 3rd image of the attached post.

Took some photos of the 2020 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro in Barcelona Red!

Add a race differential and send all the power to the back wheels and the truck slides perfectly stock.

Only doing the bare minimum of 20 points, so the Mini will have to wait another week. Looking forward to having a classic EV restomod to play with.

It's... not very good anyway, so you're not really missing out on much.

I must have some fetish for Retro Rally because I did the Trial with every car multiple times trying different builds. I just love every single car in the category. And now I'm sad because of Lancia. At least I can drive a Familia car and still feel at home.

And from doing 20+ Trials in the last 3 days I experienced an improvement in racing with others. Sure racing in B class is helping a lot. Also enjoying the Tour a lot lately specially since I don't need to drive back to Festival anymore.

Been reading online about how Forza fans wished that the Forza Horizon series was rated T (Teen) again.

I get that the FH1 radio station hosts had dialogue that was more adult-orientated, but I personally don't want to hear about dirty jokes while I drive in free roam.

The Forzathons in FH5 just aren’t as fun as in FH4. I think the problem is there are too many of them. There are always two going on at the same time, so it severely thins out the number of people who compete in any one event. I always seem to be the only one who shows up. In FH4 there was just one each hour. People knew when it was coming up, so they planned for it. It was always fun to see what people brought to the event. Now it’s just me sadly beeping my horn four times with no one to hear it.

The DJ is cringy enough as it is, certainly doesn't need more or a worse version of that. Todays racing games are trying to be as inclusive as possible and I think that's a good thing. (Also: fat chance of that ever happening because, well, money)

 

[Populuxe]

Disregard. I think I somehow sleep-quoted @NLxAROSA (I woke up with my iPad lying on my bed). The weird thing is that despite only quoting him and not adding anything of my own, I got three likes.

 

[ALLSETFORMOVE]

If choosing one new 992, I'd say 992 turbo S rather than GT3. We can wait for a 992 GT3 RS after all

Forza Monthly and Let's go Livestreams are both on this Thursday, instead of the typical Monday of the last season (supposed to be 28th).


Hopefully some interesting news about DLC. Although if they still don't announce anything, I'd assume that they are saving expansion 1 for e3 or whatever the next big Xbox event is.

Based on the stream advertisement on Facebook we are getting the Mach-E with the next update.

Hopefully in the future we’ll get the regular Mustang Mach E GT as well!

Thank you, I wasn't in a place to post the screenshot.

We appreciated it nonetheless.

Odd that they're doing it on a Thursday. Normally they would have it on Mondays.

 

[AudiMan2011]

They've done some update streams on Thursdays before for FH4, so its not really surprising.

I'm hoping this will be like the new Bronco: standard version and at least one race version.

Ahhh. It's so awesome to see the Ford Mustang Mach E GT getting added into Horizon (and Forza in general), especially since we have our very own pikes peak in the game.

Edit: I too hope we get the regular Mustang Mach E someday as well!

 

[Vince_GT]

As expected the Mach E 1400 Joins Horizon 5.
The normal one it's not my cup of tea, this one, like all the Pikes Peak cars and simila will be nice to drive.
Let's see what other cars Season VII have to offer...

 

[Apple Slipper]

I still remember the Faroe Islands drifting video of the Ford Mustang Mach E 1400.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Time for update clues alongside the Mach E

 

[strela]

Yay Torben is back! I missed it so much.

I'm still clueless about it. The only thing I'm getting is some sort of voting for the next type of races in Open? Boh, I'm not smart enough!

A city block drawing? Maybe Mexico City is the DLC locale?

There has to be some significance to the 104-103-114 on a spider web.

Perhaps it's a number pattern - if we continue that on path we'd get 104-103-114-113-124. 124 Spider? Return of the Abarth 124 Spider perhaps?

That seems logical, but I would think Fiat/Abarth coming back would take place with a bigger announcement, but maybe it will be another free pack like Mitsu?
