Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Populuxe]

I think drip feeding is the smarter way to go instead of vomiting all the kits out at once.

No matter what they decide, they’re going to get grief over it.

Release everything at once: “They should have spread it out! This just proves they don’t care about car culture!”

Release them over a period of time: “They should have released them all at once! This just proves they don’t care about car culture!”

The easy way would be to just put them all back at the same time, maybe add a new car with a kit as well, like the GR Yaris or GR86.

But that's clearly not what's going to happen.

Or even a new kit/kits for an existing car.

The RX-8, ND MX-5, R33 etc could definitely use them.

On a different note - my random speculation for the day;

The Nissan Sentra B13 (or Tsuru) will be added in the Elimanti update coming in December.

I think it'll be added into the Autoshow, much like the Supra RZ was when it was reintroduced in the Eliminator update in FH4.

The exclusive "Eliminator limited edition" car referenced in the leaked audio files I think will be an custom version of the Tsuru, specifically tuned for Eliminator - with custom parts etc.

I also think one of the new starter cars for Eliminator will be the Tsuru too.

EDIT: Bonus out there wild prediction. Isha's taxis (or a new taxi company) returns with this as the hero car

This post is brought to you by procrastination at work, never fails.

I like your way of thinking.

 

[Obelisk]

And here I am, silently wishing they'd add a duckbill for the NC MX-5. I wonder if I could submit it as a suggestion?

Ah yes, let's drip feed stuff that should've been there since launch but instead we left out to bring back as "new content". Truly a PGG move.

This. They should've been there at launch. So add them back by default, and add some new kits on other cars. They make a sick RX8 kit if I remember right.

Well that would not be realistic. Ever heard of licensing? Dripfeeding is pretty much the norm nowadays but that's how it is and it will not change. If they said "returning content", then that would be okay with it.

As for wanting the GR Yaris, yes please. It is still heartbreaking that this model is not sold here in the States, and this homologation model needs more appearances in games.

Not to say PG aren't guilty or culpable of this

But when it comes to Rocket Bunny - I think this was a legitimate licensing issue - that they've now been able to resolve. As opposed to them intentionally leaving them out, to bring them back a year later. Just like the situation with regards to Mitsubishi or Toyota in FH4 for example.

Could go either way at this point. I'm convinced that the lack of Stellantis' Italian brands is a licensing issue. I mean, in total we're currently missing 21 cars from them. Rocket Bunny might be the same. For some reason I still think they were held back to be added as "new content" (since that's what they do now).

These are all theories, I just hope to god that they don't drip feed them. These should've been here at launch and I think we're all tired of bad looking bodykits (or none at all!) on many cars because of the lack of this brand.

So you can imagine my surprise when I started the Horizon Origins story without thinking much, and then I was bawling my eyes out at the end of it.

Scotty's words about what Horizon meant to him got to you too huh?

Damn it, I hate admitting it, but I kinda felt a little misty-eyed too.

Like I said earlier the way he breaks character at the end really tugged on the heartstrings lol.

Also high on the nightmare level is this week's Trial. High horsepower/low grip cars are not my forte, the GT500 is a pig to drive.

I think this sums up my experience on the GT500 trial well:

Slow team mates, myself sacrificing first place to herd all the AI together to make a gap for the leaders who were sliding all over the place.

 

[IcySlivers]

Couldn’t be arsed to play the hotwheels dlc so I bought bad to the blade from the auction house. Actually bought 2 of them, one for S2 and one for X class. This is the closest thing we have to an F1 car in Horizon and I’m very pleased with it. Very grippy and fun to race around the tracks. S2 rivals here I come 🤓

Has anyone ever found a fix for the taillights looking like this?

View attachment 1199772

All the weird pink bits everywhere, looking so unnatural. People don't talk about this much and I don't understand why.

...It's partly the AA?

Here's no AA. Still a problem, but not as bad.

Here's 8x MSAA. Some lines start appearing around edges, but it's not much worse.

TAA with no sharpening is essentially just no AA but blurry, so no surprise it isn't any worse.

TAA with maximum sharpening though? Really bad.

I normally play with sharpening set to 6, so I've been seeing such an awful mess all along.

I wish Playground would actually fix this issue, but it seems it's just something we need to deal with until at least FH6.

Is it just me, or does the 599XX uses a new sound recording?

It sounds similar to the 599XX Evo, but much much better.

It’s has way more bass, I hope they update the other models that use the same engine.

This is beautiful! Since it seems to be Anniversary week, a certain other game also is celebrating ten years too.
It is a happy place indeed.

It does have a new sound. It's a freakin' banshee!

Who else is letting the opening menu play through a couple times before finally hitting the start button? All those beautiful Colorado feels... No one? Just me?

I'm still playing the original between FH5 sessions so I listen to that intro instead. Sound quality is a little worse than the FH5 version but that kind of adds to the, erm, authenticity.

Horizon Mixtape seems to be all my least favourite tunes from previous games but I haven't heard a DJ yet.

Once I completed the Horizon Origins story they added some more tunes to the Mixtape station and Scott even started DJing. "I hear my man Darius Flynt didn't stick around after turning up to do just one race. Darius... do you even like music?!"

 

[GTvsForza]

I think there's still songs to unlock in the Playlist the next couple weeks.

The title screen songs for FH2, FH3, and FH4 can be unlocked in the playlist.

Would be really cool if they kept expanding on the mixtape. Like in a couple series, another drop of 4-5 songs from past Horizons would be a great way to keep the radio stations a bit more fresh.

I came in third both races and most of my team was racing too.

 

[WanganDream]

Well...maybe just a celebration, but it would be interesting if Chryslus Rocket 69 came back.

This is definitely one for the online suggestion box. Just so long as it isn't Tegan and Sara's Lego song

Thanks, mate!

Is there a reason the game defaults me to start in the hotwheels zone? It’s really annoying. Any way to make it stop?
