Had to switch from YT to Twitch stream and first thing i noticed was that my eyes were bleeding from reading a couple lines of that toxic chat. What an awesome community... Ewww!

Unbelievable how negative people are these days. I miss the old Forza days back in 2010.
I'll be honest.

I played games like FM4, Fh1, Fh3 and FM7 without discovering any forum or social media regarding these. I only used YouTube to watch the trailers and then the wiki to check the car list. I must say that really elevates the experience of playing the games.
FH4 (3-4 months after launch) was the first that i played while interacting/reading discussions in the subreddit, and it did sour the experience, because the community kept reiterating that the game was the worst in the franchise and the franchise had "lost its way" repeatedly. Made me lose interest for a small period of time, and i switched back to FM7 again for a bit.

The same thing is happening with FH5, but this time I'm not losing interest because i don't read too much into any social media. (NEVER VISIT YOUTUBE COMMENTS OR TWITTER) It's the same for any game.

Too much negative discourse online will get you a negative outlook on the game, where you will start nitpicking and digging for more negatives. Best to avoid it, at least till you play the game for the first impressions.

I don't think that this is the full list. Source:

There have been people saying Forza has lost its way since like FM3 or FM4, before it could’ve feasibly even established its way.

Some people are never happy. Simply put - if you enjoy a game, you enjoy a game.
 
Btw, I recently found out that you can send a car gift right from the menu (the screen where you have kudos displayed)
Oh, I’m aware. But for the purposes of the video, I thought it would be a bit more cinematic to go to a barn first.
 
Will probably recycle some cars from FH1 as "new cars".
And a playlist looking back at FH1-FH4. That's all.

My guess (S13 car list):
  • 2010 Ford GTX1 (FH1 Return)
  • 2013 Robby Gordon #7 Speed Energy Drink Stadium Super Truck (FH2 Return)
  • 1972 Chrysler VH Valiant Charger R/T E49 (FH3 Return)
  • 1964 Austin FX4 (FH4 Return)
In particular, we speculate that the Ford GTX1 and Robby Gordon trucks are likely to be added in S13, as they are already found in the game files.
Let me guess? Other potential FH returnees may include:
  • 2009 Koenigsegg CCX-R
  • 2006 Hummer H1 Open Top
  • 2012 Shelby 1000
 
I'd love to see them do 10 cars for 10 years; 2 new to franchise cars and 2 returning from each game.
Some predictions if this format holds true

FH1:

-
Went for actual exclusive FH1 vehicles, I know things like the Shelby 1000, Hummer H1 Open Top are more likely since they're in FH4 but would be cool to see some actual FH1 exclusives come back.

2006 Ford GTX1 (pretty obvious, leaked thumbnail and it being FH1 exclusive makes it feel like a lock for this playlist)
2009 Gumpert Apollo S (one of the most requested cars to come back from FH1 - again would make a lot of people happy if it returned)

FH2:

- There's actually very few "exclusive" vehicles to FH2 (meaning only available in FH2, no other Horizon game). Though there are quite a few cars that were in FH2 but were subsequently removed from future games.

2012 Pagani Huarya (not FH2 exclusive but Italian supercar in this series makes sense + it was leaked in a tik tok ages ago)
2011 Lotus Evora S (not FH2 exclusive but was introduced in a FH2 car pack, leaked in the playlist thumbnail a month ago as well which makes sense, fits the theme of FH2 quite well - though an Abarth/Fiat/Lancia here would make more sense)


FH3:

-
Surely these would be Aussie cars, especially if it's celebrating the location of the game too - though I wouldn't mind seeing some of the non-Aussie cars that are exclusive to FH3 - namely the Merc 300 SEL, Subaru SVX & Brat, Renault Alpine GTA Le Mans just to name a few

1951 Holden 50-2106 FX Ute (FH3 exclusive and in the context of a celebrating FH3 Season in the playlist - makes a lot of sense)
1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III (FH3 exclusive and caps off the Ford vs Holden rivalry they're bound to explore in the playlist)

FH4:

- Again, went for the British theme here but there's so many good cars lost you could insert any two of about 40-50 cars and I'll take it.

1963 Austin FX4 Taxi (FH4 exclusive and one of the most iconic British cars - would be great to see it back)
1966 Hillman Imp (FH4 exclusive and another incredibly iconic British car - welcomed return if it does come back)

New to Forza:

My thinking is these would be relatively popular cars the community has been requesting - to encapsulate the celebration and show PG is "listening" to car requests

2021 Koenigsegg Gemera
2021 Aston Martin Valkyrie


All in all - a nice mix of old and new

Knowing PG though, it'll be like 4 cars and the "mystery" items will be clothing, a gift Dodge Viper GTS, a new emote and a couple of new badges 😂😂

That's the Cyan 03 Concept body kit. It is the fastest street-legal four-door car around the Nürburgring at 7 mins 15 secs.
