Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[PJTierney]

The game now supports higher res textures so I think old ported designs from FH4 won‘t look very sharp.

Honestly I wish they would have disabled porting of low res designs from previous games. Makes it all that harder to find the great new crispy designs… 🙁

The porting should be fine, it’s all vector shapes.

The higher texture may mean that some elects are half a click out this way or that, but I designed all my logos at higher res anyways (Xbox One X had hi-res logo editing).

Ferrari made some extremely beautiful race cars, that is pure sex on wheels.

I hate to keep posting videos that are a few days old but I just found this one of a Ferrari Portofino cruising with the top down.



Easily the best looking racing game I've ever seen.

I love how he begins to move with the wheel turned but because he is in dirt the car goes forward for a few seconds before the front wheels dig into the dirt and turn the car. That kind of physics... that is just awesome.

Ok that sounds great! I didn’t know that

Looks like DJS has shown more visual customization for the FJ40, Mercedes X-Class, Cadillac CTS-V, Mclaren 650S, 1974 Honda Civic RS and more.

So the Forza Edition kit for the ATS-V has made it's way to Horizon. Hopefully we can get all of the other kits that were only available on FM7 FE Cars.

More tidbits of information from Ericship:

Spoiler: Video and Highlights

• The R32 GT-R has 4-wheel steering(!!), but besides it and the Taycan he does not know if any other cars do (that have it in real life).
• The gauge clusters on the C8 Corvette and '20 Shelby GT500 have been fixed, but the Shelby still has the wrong taillights as of this build (c'mon PG).
• The 2nd Gen Z3 M Coupe still has the weird interior camera angle in this build.
• From his testing, cars no longer sink into the ground when going at high speed.
• The S15 Silvia is still using its old inaccurate model (not surprising).

Days to go...

I forget if I actually read it somewhere or if it's just something I read speculation about, but I'm pretty sure they gave the Warthog four-wheel steering, too.

would be awesome if they did

Would be very cool

His feedback sounds promising

Good to hear, i will def play this more with the wheel now (maybe wheel only if its that good).

The video is a bit annoying but apparently rocks now have grip, will make rock climbing way more enjoyable.

Random volcanologist: "So here are at the summit of the Gran Caldera volcano. We're about to take some important rock samples and... wait, what's that sound?"

There are two pieces of news that I'm pleased.
One, we finally got our hands on a widebody kit for the FE cars of FM7. Maybe it may not be available for all cars, but at least we can use it again on ATS-V.

And one more thing, we got new whitewall tires. In the past, these tires were only available as stock tires for some models, but the fact that the Datsun 510 is equipped with these tires leads me to speculate that these tires are probably the vintage race tire version of the "Forza" letter tires.
Hopefully, this will be a great option for both looks and grip on many vintage cars.
The days of sacrificing grip to save the beautiful look of whitewalls may be over.

Hopefully they fixed the Ferrari FXX sound because it was comically bad in Horizon 4. I know this isn't a wishlist but seeing as they fixed and gave quite a few cars new samples; i'm hoping this was one of them.

I think they'd hear his annoying commentary voice long before the car came into view. "So rewarding..."

So I watched GameRiot's map tour and one of my guesses was right.

Spoiler

Radio Eterna indeed has Sobre Las Olas. I'm stoked. It's a beautiful composition.

[Maxrevv]

Honestly, I've tried my best not to look at too much at the gameplay videos.

Besides the new car sounds and some gameplay videos, I'm keeping myself around 70% in the dark for FH5 just to keep it as a surprise.

Can't wait for the launch!

Forza Monthly stream live now going over Series 1 playlist.
Seasonal PR Stunts now have Car Class and PI restrictions instead of higher score requirements.

 

[WanganDream]

For those who were relieved by the preview build video: Too bad! This is what happened in the end.

Playground are talking about the music right now on Let’s Go.

They started out with an all-Mexican station but scrapped it after realizing that real Mexican radio stations mix in Mexican music with U.S./international music. They changed course to add to the authenticity.

I was disappointed at first but after their explanation I think this was the right move.

I really don't think it's a change that mattered enough to be made regardless. Sounds kind of dumb, really. Who cares what real life radio stations are doing when these stations are made up and pretend anyways.

 

[ShawnPhillips]

Confirmed can have sandstorms in the Jungle with Blueprint and event labs.
I'm going to have fun with that.
