Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Populuxe]

I think this is the first time I’ve noticed a bighorn ram in the game.

 

[-Fred-]

The wildlife is definitely harder to spot in Mexico, I've seen very few.

 

[GTvsForza]

I run by donkeys and dogs more often than the rams.

Photo mode thread worthy!

Wait, the 2012 Aston Martin Vanquish is in the title screen for the FH2 recreated title screen! The car isn't in the game yet!

Yeah and also the 2012 Pagani Huayra is in the FH1 title screen. Also not in the game yet.

Correct, although we did see it via a Tiktok video by Forza themselves.

Captured this one on launch day

They can't have left those cars out for no reason. Please tell me they're rewards as well.

Nope, they're not even in the game files, just the five cars announced.

 

[UKMikey]

I guess the lawyers didn't fight hard enough. /s

 

[FoxMulder]

The Test Track will probably be an Evolving World thing for the stadium. Or a new location on the map.

I think they need a race track somewhere. The FH4 Lego expansion adding a banked circuit with multiple layouts was fun.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Probably really late to the party, but I just realized that the 8.9L V8 DSC swap is from the dang Bone Shaker Monster Truck.

 

[The_Greaser]

Doesn't the Horizon Mexico festival have its own racetrack though? I agree they need to bring about new content for the base map.

 

[GTvsForza]

I think the main festival track kinda lost its flavor. It is built around an abandoned airstrip after all. Perhaps they could overhaul it for the Donut Media update.

 

[Komrad Syka]

pgg nailed it

 

[Populuxe]

pgg nailed it

Dang, that's well done.

I’ll hold back myself from watching them all now, and I’ll wait for the start of their new respective season to see them.

I wanna experience them like the first time I started each game, to get that deja vu feeling taking me back to the past

 

[TokoTurismo]

pgg nailed it

I didn't watch the video because I didn't want to spoil myself. But see those thumbnails from the four games has me really excited to experience them for the first time once they go live via season changes. 😀

 

[inCloud]

Dang, that's well done.

While FH2, FH3 and FH4 are great, FH1 is lazy. Story location also could be done closer to original.

 

[strela]

While FH2, FH3 and FH4 are great, FH1 is lazy.

Just curious, how are others great and that one lazy? They needed to put extra work and position all the people. Plus they added the Huayra. Never played the first one unfortunately but this intro it's pretty well recreated in Mexico, imho.

Just my feelings after watching stream+video. Intro lacking Ferrari section and Mustang section isnt feeling right. Corrado race looks weird.

 

[FoxMulder]

It’s a dusty POS that’s never used for anything. The FH4 Lego expansion had a high speed banked oval with infield layouts and was full of players.

They added a magical hot wheels land in the sky, they can add a new track somewhere.

 

[The_Greaser]

Wouldn't adding a banked track be more laborious than its worth? I mean expansion of the base map sounds cool and all but that could take up to either a year or two tops, among other things like research. It's all relegated to the map limits.

It isn't like what ETS2 is doing, what with the core map's city revamps and entire country rebuilds. And speaking of said game its also celebrating its 10-year anniversary on Monday.

 

[Nacho Libre]

Ok, so the new opening is the FH homage, followed by a new intro race to the Festival site. On consoles, beware of an endless loading loop afterwards, I had to reboot the game.

 

[Obelisk]

I got chills hearing Language playing on the remastered intro. My inner child is happy with this throwback.

This is going to be a wonderful month for me, I can tell.

 

[Komrad Syka]

Got the Viper

 

[breyzipp]

ORLY?

 

[The_Greaser]

I think you need to be IN the festival prop for the challenge to trigger, preferably the one where the plinth is located.

Actually I got the location (but not the car, obviously) for my article cover shot...

(speaking of, if anyone spots any errors in it, PM me; I've been dead on my arse all week, tested twice for COVID because of how COVID I feel but both negative)
