Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[The_Greaser]

Well my gut feeling is that there won't be any new cars aside from the Donut Media content and some RB kits.

Even if there were new cars we'd probably have to wait 4 more weeks after that series. At best. The 'Nissan Z' on the crossword puzzle could be just the Hi-Lo and Money Pit models, not the new '23 model we're led to believe.

They did confirm in a podcast a couple months ago that the Hi-Lo/Money Pit Zs are coming into the game so it's almost certainly that. My guess is if they put the new Z into the game it would be one of the cars they highlight for the expansion.

They mentioned the next expansion too

So... it seems like PG is trying something a bit different with the Donut Media-themed Horizon Story by having you grab a car and upgrading it with them in the story. Can't say I dislike that...

 

[Famine]

Seems awfy like Pumphrey mis-stated the Hi/Low cars & trucks and Money Pit cars will be in the update. It looks like they're just being used as names for playlist challenges...

 

[BobLeFlambeur]

Either that or there was a last minute bit of licensing which fell through and hence why this seems to have been delayed from his original statement.

 

[-Fred-]

I'm not exactly sure how a TCR car from Lynk&Co and the Morris and Ford woodies tie in with Donut Media... Seems like a weird update so far.

 

[sw3g005]

No Donut Media cars is... not sure what to feel about that one. On one hand, I'm glad there's no extra 350Z and Miatas. On the other hand, no Ram Van... 😭
Atleast the cars actually provided are quite cool (especially the Mini and Ford), repeat or not.

 

[L8 Apex]

The four exclusive weekly reward cars are the Lynk & Co TCR race car and 3 returning woodie wagons (the '48 Ford, the Morris and the Mini).

 

[Jakexvx]

As far as I am aware, the Donut Media + Forza collab is coming in two parts.
Series 14 update is part 1, November 2022.
Part 2 will be in the future, presumably in a few months as series 15 is probably xmas related.
I would say the Donut Media cars (hi low etc) will be in part 2. Not this update

 

[WanganDream]

I like Woody Wagon, but the next update is going to be a less exciting month for content other than Rocket Bunny.
Hopefully Accolade will include Donut Media vehicles.

 

[Cloudy]

Anyone else notice the Hudson Hornet in one of the seasonal championship thumbnails? Playground, sneaky devils.

 

[-Fred-]

They brought back all the Rocket Bunny kits from previous games, no new ones.

 

[turk1993]

Where is DLSS and RT .

 

[WanganDream]

Now, a preview of the next update...will the non-car content be a recycle of last December's update?

 

[Turboteg90]

Finally the R32 gets some love.

 

[TGR55]

Did they just skipped the (supposedly) ray tracing for PC? Or whatever that hint might point to.

For the donut story, i saw that you can upgrade the car on the game world during donut story, interesting.

 

[ALLSETFORMOVE]

They brought back all the Rocket Bunny kits from previous games, no new ones.

There brought back 21 bodykits on 20 cars in one time instead of separate them in several updates. Good choice.

 

[TokoTurismo]

They brought back all the Rocket Bunny kits from previous games, no new ones.

I mean, were they really going to bring in new ones? To be honest, I already knew they intended to do that. I'm not disappointed since the four cars we're getting is fine by me. But I know how it could disappoint others.

Oh I'm not disappointed, I just thought it'd be neat of them to add a few more in since they've obviously figured out whatever licensing problem they had. Maybe we'll get more somewhere down the line, who knows. I'm not a big fan of RB kits in general, but some of them I'm glad are back (R32, S13, S14 Zenki, MX5 just to name those)

Show me one person who even requested two Morris Travelers. Seriously. No one asked for them to return. And worse they're all D100 entries.

Sad

Me. They were fun cars to mess around with in FH4.

Welp, that was easy. I'm glad they and the Ford Wagon are back as well.

Of course they are D100 cars, I don't know why you would have expected any differently for cars like that. I'm going to enjoy messing with them and the Ford.

 

[WanganDream]

I for one am glad Morris is coming back.
But these were cars that should have been present from launch.
And above all, it is too biased that these cars make up 3/4 of the updated content.
In addition, they have nothing to do with the theme of the update.
