Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Beebo]

I will say that this shows that for some vehicles they still can’t seem to model the lights very well. They look more like lights from GTA4 to me.

That's really just most lights in Forza in general, no refraction in sight.

I know nothing really about Overlanding, what’s the orange thing?

You put them under the tires for traction when you're stuck in loose sand/dirt/mud. They also work really well in snow.

It's called sandboard

I really, really, really hate this nightmare.

For reference, let me show you a photo with the rally suspension at its lowest ride height. I hope you won't be disappointed like I was.
By the way, the bumper cannot be removed or changed to another color.

If you would, please vote for this thread. To get a cooler Chevy.

What I find odd is that FH5 was promoted as being able to turn your car into whatever you wanted it to be (Drag, Off Road, Drift etc..) and then they only give you one option for the suspension on this truck. I hope that this is addressed in a future update. I also agree that the bumpers should have been able to be painted on this truck. The white bumpers don't look great with certain paint schemes.

Somebody asked what this orange board is on the side of the wagons with the Overlanding kit on.

Some people have guessed it's a mud/sand board to aid recovery of a bogged in vehicle.

Well I can exclusively reveal that it is in fact a Lego removal tool and this is an Easter Egg for DLC 3; Return To Lego Valley: The Brickway Saga.

Try again with both headlights in sunlight or shadows not each side different

Yeah, problem was fixed in the end.

Haven't done the jump because it got Quick Resumed away and I was doubling up with the Daily anyway.

My best effort, you got me @Famine bud. I'm within ½ mph of you and I just can't quite get there. I doff my cap to you 🧢, a great speed good Sir.

Interesting little bit of info here. PG getting assisted by a 3rd-Party Developer for the Explore the Horizon Update. Perhaps why the update is more fleshed out than some of the series updates from last year.

Hopefully this continues and we can see slightly more ambitious updates that previously weren't possible without 3rd party development help.

I posted the news on the main Forza Subreddit, and got instantly downvoted as a result, lol.

Not surprising. Although I'm a little concerned as to why those fools on there would downvote something that is a mega positive to not just PG, but also FH5 as a whole? Probably want to only see negativity surrounding it. Thus it must be sad having to only crawl out of that hole when there is said negativity. Lol!

The Forza Horizon Subreddit downvoted it as well, so that means the users there have never heard of Wushu Studios.

Or because they're idiots who don't like anything. I think you should stay off reddits.

 

[Beebo]

It's easy to think the entire userbase is like that if you only look at the subreddits, while they aren't as foul as the official forums, they're reaaally negative.

"We don't know this company, but since they're helping Forza we hate them too" is pretty much the impression I'm getting. I think they're just sour with any Forza now, which is sad. xD

Looks like we'll get details on Donut Media Season 2 during the Forza Monthly coming up in a couple of days.

You’ll also hear from Playground Games on the return of Donut Media (@Donut) in the Upgrade Heroes series update for Forza Horizon 5, community race organizer @RacingHaven on their upcoming offseason plans, and more!

I just noticed the lights on the trailing edge of the 935’s wing. Very clever.

I bloody love this car. The 935, the 1986 F-150 and my Sticker Car are definitely getting the most use at the moment in game.

Sticker car?

 

[Edax 76]

Sticker car?

My sticker car is the 90s Hoonigan Escort I've covered in people's vinyls. I use it to rack up uses for them to help them with the accolades. If you want me to add your vinyls give me your Gamertag bud.

A good week on the Hot Wheels jump! Even my daughter was excited for me 😆 I'll take 1425.

This reads more like Playground are focusing more on Fable now and are outsourcing FH5 things more because of it. Considering we didn’t get gameplay or a release date on Fable today, I think it’s going to stay that way for a while (as long as FH5 is supported).

As long as FH5's services are adequate, there is nothing wrong with working with outside studios and using them to help PG focus on Fable.

Compared to the mess many EA games got into because of BF2042...

Ah, I see. Appreciate the offer, but I don't really create custom vynils, mostly through lack of patience with Forza's editor.

But fable has a different team within Playground games

This might be Motorsport related but I noticed one interesting car...

Is it the 2021 Lamborghini Sian FKP37 Coupe? Because we only got the Roadster variant in Forza Horizon 5.

External studio support is more common in games than people think.

DiRT Rally 2.0's VR development was done via an external partner for the most part; the Braking Point cutscenes in F1 are done by a third party too.

Yes, that is the Coupe, which I would love to see in Horizon also
