With that lot I guess the progression push goes out the window..:lol: this will be all about a leisurely holiday/vacation from day one then.
Eh, not so much if you just relegate the gift cars strictly to Forzathon/playlist duty for a month or two. That's my plan, save for maybe doing a silly offroad build with the Supra RZ just because I can.
 
Gonna put the loyalty and starter cars on the backburner, and try to play somewhat realistically. Get an AE86 or Crown Vic for my first true car, and go from there.

I'm not complaining,actually will be a nice change of pace for me.

Crown Vic... that reminds me, I need to figure out which cars will have light bars on them again this time around.

For reasons.

So, we're getting 8 new Formula D cars eh? I'm going to go on a hunch and say we'll get Toyota powered cars for the most part, this time, including all 3 of the A90 Supras currently in the field.
 
Will I be able to get early access if I pre-ordered Horizon 5 Standard Edition and the Premium Add-Ons Bundle (I do not have Gamepass)?

Either that, or we get the same Formula Drift Cars seen in the preview build. Remember that a #101 BMW M3 E46 Formula Drift car was leaked in Horizon 4 IIRC

A quick question, if I loaded up FM8 and Forza Horizon/2/3 this week on my Xboxes the game wlll still give me the reward cars I presume for having 'played' a previous instalment even though I just picked them up second hand from the exchange shop yesterday...

It should, at least it was the case with FH4. I'm kind of annoyed there's no Premium physical edition steelcase this time around, but oh well.

Good call on the BMW, I forgot about that one.

There is an obvious 6 in there if you know what game this car is coming from. 😁 So 6 more days until the release of the early access!

Somehow these games (FC6 and FH5) have something in common for me. They’re both new games, both with XSX enhancements. Both are successors of a well established franchise. Both are game franchises I really love. Both are set in tropical Latin American locations I visited in real life (Cuba in 2012 and Mexico in 2018).

Is anyone else playing FC6 while waiting for FH5? Do you like the game? I played every FC game except FC2 and Blood Dragon (I’m sure to some people’s opinion I missed out on the best FC games). My favourites were FC1, FC3 and FC5. FC6 feels more like the New Dawn mechanics, even with familiarities from games like AC Valhalla with all this camp building. What I particularly like about FC6 are the new graphics, the tropical setting, the salsa/reggaeton music (I’m a Cuban salsa dancer, already Shazammed some songs from the game 😁), the crazy resolver weapons and supremos, riding on horse back on these libertad trails all over the map. Ooh and it seems car driving mechanics have been improved as well. But I also fully understand the criticism of people who say it’s just the same old bored Ubisoft formula again. In my opinion, it’s one of the best FC games but indeed it’s not a revolution (…), more an evolution. Just like FH5 is to FH4.

Playing FC6 and enjoying the music in that game so much, I think Playground games missed the ball somewhat in regards to the radio stations. I absolutely love how they implemented Mexican musicians into all existing music channels, that’s a fantastic choice. But there should have been a seperate “Latin” radio station as well, similar to the one in FC6. All the best salsa, bachata, reggaeton, kompa, cumbia, Latin pop etc. Sure some people would not listen to it because it’s not their thing (I do that with XS and Timeless as well), but it never hurts to have this as an extra option for people that would like it.
