Just bought a gaming PC (AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, Nvidia RTX 3060), and Forza Horizon series has been on my radar for quite some time. Super excited to be part of the Forza fam...in 5-7 business days!

Shouldn’t we be getting the two Cupras today?

No. You need to play during Series 21, which begins on Thursday.

 

[NotThePrez]

Honestly I'm just happy we can save custom presets in photo mode. Everything else is a bonus.

Ok! Because on stream they said "tomorrow" (since it was streamed yesterday they meant today), the banner showed the 24th and some places it showed it not being available till thursday...

I hate this update already, now i take even more photo's than before. Before i took 100+ photo's each session, now i take atleast 6 variants of each photo 😭. I can't play the game anymore, it became a photosimulator for me.

Jokes aside the variation i can get out of this is just

In case anyone wondered, it takes about 44 seconds to fully boot the game now (Series X). Add about 10 seconds if data sync was required.

It's time I took advantage of this photomode in the honor of Dillatroit. Here's some I took a few moments ago.
Shown below is me lockin' and poppin' with The World's Smallest Car - the Peel P50.

I've cheesed through the photo accolades apart from the Jazz Hands pose one. I cannot for the life of me get it to pop. I've even changed my victory and showboat poses as well as changing the pose endless times in photomode and nothing.

Is anyone else getting this or is it a case of me being daft? The latter is entirely plausible trust me.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Really not bothered about the new photo-mode features at all, I've never been that interested in taking pictures in a racing game, I just want to race.

Rest of the update looks good though.

Just you wait until I get my hands on it... We're gonna fill up the photo mode thread.

Same here

Noticing that changing to the Portrait guideline would increase your zoom by 0.4x, exclusively for that mode.

 

[Beebo]

Maybe this is a placebo effect but my photos (especially ones with props visible from very far away) look way better now.

 

[mrtestarossa]

great update! feels like this one was tailored specifically for me, i just wish we had a time slider instead of presets and more "normal" looking poses, but i can't complain too much.

I can't take you seriously with a bubble car

 

[Apple Slipper]

Very awesome photos, everyone! I haven't got to play the new update yet, but I did take some experimentation photography of the Porsche Mission R.

Thank you man, same to you.

Wait, where are the photomode accolades? I checked my page and it still said I'd completed all the Photo accolades. I saw the new Pathfinder ones under Evolving World but that was it.

Looking forward to the Chev pickup, but I wish we had an option to have a 4x4 and lift it, or swap to 2WD and lower it... Although then I'd be even more angry that it's not available in the autoshow.

AR12 Nick said, "I want these new cars to have some challenge to unlocking them, such as the Trial."

Me: Heck no. Trial is terrible enough when teams don't put in the effort to race against each other.

I find the Trial to be the only fun part of the playlist because it's the only part that isn't predictable and boring. Sure sometimes your team sucks, but that can be funny when they crash or have terrible racecraft, and since they nerfed the AI it doesn't even matter really, can't even remember the last time I needed a second try at it.

That being said, I'd rather have less to do to unlock the cars. More time spent enjoying the new cars and less time wasted doing boring grind stuff please... But yeah don't lock the cars behind a skill barrier either.

Solid update. As for playlist debate - its best part is evantlab. Trial is ok, but everything else is soo repetitive and boring...

EventLab things can be fun sometimes, but often they run like garbage on an XB1, which might be why they also don't have AI ever... Not that the AI is fun to race with either, but it would at least be better than driving 3-5 laps by yourself. Also I hate how some of them force you into a specific class or division. Unless we need a certain speed to clear a jump or something, just let us drive what we are in the mood to drive.

Also, you can't do EventLabs with a friend and get credit for them because you have to "win" them, which is a shame.

Fully agree everything else is boring and repetitive though.

The Chevy is a K10, meaning it should be 4WD already. I'm sure you'd be able to swap it to 2WD as well.

I'm going to need to up my AH game for this one and the F150...

I think they mean increasing the ride height, since while fitting rally suspension to passenger cars usually lifts them up, it has no effect on the pickups and SUVs. As a result, increasing the tire profile on those vehicles can completely fill the wheel wells to the point they're almost rubbing the fenders even at rest.
