Chris Phillips just said he’s been playing GT7… 🤔
Already posted in the GT7 thread but it also fits here.
Im watching the Forza Horizon 5 Lets Go Series 6 and the guy named Chris (Principle Car Content Designer at Playground Games) was asked what he was playing lately and he answered GT7. Its just nice to hear people working on different platforms enjoying games from there main competitor and just telling it on there live stream.
 
Oh yes, forgot about that!

It's nice McLaren gets alot of love in Horizon 5, all they need is to add the MP4-12C, F1 LM or GTR and the M6.
If by that last one you mean the M6 GT I would completely lose my mind if it made it in.

I'm kinda happy with the badges coming back. And I'm curious if the new filters for Open will actually work.
A Solid car roster update here. Glad to see so much love for McLaren and the return of Ascari, ATS and Oldsmobile in the roster. I can't wait to drive also the JCW GP too, since i have a soft spot for HotHatches :-)

On behalf of all the tight wad Game Pass Ultimate players, which of these cars (if any) are exclusive to the car pass, please?
 
"Getting a prized car using points obtained by playing the game" I wonder why nobody has copied that!
And what's even better. The points don't reflect on real life car prices either! :D
I wonder if they decided to put it in the shop at the very last minute, as a minor dig at GT and its disastrous catastrophe :P
Good! And it's a clever dig at them as well. Freakin' love it!
 
Quick fire update thoughts;
  • Horizon Open changes are much needed. The leveling system + rewards + leaderboards give more incentive to actually race. The search filters should have been there from launch really, better later than never though.
  • More Event Labs options/props is fantastic. We've seen what crazy stuff the community has already come up with, so I hope PG has more in store on that front.
  • More Horizon stories are always nic,e and a great way to add content that also nets a reward car that isn't timed-exclusive!
  • The cars are OK for me (not the best diversity in this update) but 765LT/911 Speedster/Mustang Mach E were quite highly requested in the community so that's nice.
  • Some actually meaningful bug fixes!
All in all, another step in the right direction. Still lots of work to be done IMO though.
 
I'm honestly not that interested in most of the new cars featured here.

To me, the 3 "new" McLarens in particular are nothing more than another slightly different variations of the same cars we already have. They done the same thing with Mustangs & some Lamborghini models before. It as if they took a page out of old Gran Turismo games.

Oh well, I'm just a minority within the community. Otherwise, it's still not a bad update.
