Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

Car Collection exclusive? Please explain how that works.

The car collection screen has a bonus reward per manufacturer for owning all of their cars (or at least as many cars as they had when the manufacturer was added to the game, the requirement hasn't increased when DLC was added). In the case of Ferrari, their bonus reward is the LaFerrari.

In short, acquire more different models of Ferrari and eventually the car collection screen will let you claim a single free LaFerrari.

Call me crazy, but when Playground Games and Forza Horizon plant the flag in their home turf, Polyphony Digital will go and make a GT open world racer. Many elements are already in place: dirt (I wouldn't call it rally) and snow racing, quirky game modes (music rally), drifting (awful, btw), fantasy cars and tracks.

Hello Mr Crazy...

I can see why that could be a temptation but Shirley, PD needed to do that BEFORE FH migrated to PS? With FH and The Crew already on PS, I am not sure there's room for a PD clone.

Plus, we do still have AC Evo to come on PS eventually. If that does well, that will make 3 competitors.

Oh? I don't suppose you'd be willing to gift me yours? Or uhh.. sell it? I just can't find it in the AC and don't know any other way. I love this car in all the FM games and definitely want to own it in FH.

Sure but the only way would be for me to put it up for Auction and boy do you have to be fast to grab it.

Car Collection exclusive? Please explain how that works. I hardly play Horizon I don't even know how most of the stuff works or how to acquire certain cars - other than the AC.

Most brands have a set of cars you need to buy and then you get a special car in the case of Ferrari is the Laferrari you get when you buy around 26 other ferraris (including DLC cars)

A question is it normal to get a gift car from the same player 7 times? I gotten a gift car from a player call Horizon - Superstar 7 times now.

Funny thing is over the last 2 days I gotten a total of 6 gift cars.

Well, switching from one Forza Horizon game to another is like going to the afterlife... You won't really be going to take anything with you to the land of the rising sun... You might as well be generous.

It's not the same player. You can't choose who to gift cars too.
"Horizon Superstar" is a generic term offered to you when gifting cars if you choose to be anonymous when gifting cars.

So I've completed most of everything on the map in my FH5 return, I've done most of the races, PR Stunts, stories and got almost all of the roads.

What's next, my return to the Hot Wheels Island in the sky!

 

[sirjim73]

Thank you to everyone who voted for the VW ID4 in the Backstage vote last week. Another one off my list of remaining purchases 👍

 

[Enzo_P1_GTR]

I have a question the AI cars that you challenge to head to hear (I play offline for context) are they the Avatars of other players for offline play?

This cars just driving around the map in offline mode.

 

[SnOwCoNe_III]

The Driveatars in offline mode are mostly people that are from your friends list on the Xbox app, regardless if they have played Forza or not.

Though it can show other players as Driveatars that aren't on your friends list. Unless I missed something or got it wrong then someone else reading this can correct me on that. Hope that helped at least.

 

[pez2k]

They're at the very least the names of other players, the cars and liveries are fairly random, and I don't think the drivers look the same.

I'm on PS5 and I dont have Xbox freinds and I have never used the Xbox App.

It could be just Xbox players avatars for offline since yesterday I saw a avatar driving around with the username something Xbox.

Either way I was just curious I wish I could get my Enzo avatar to drive around the map how weird it would be to meet yourself.

 

[Enzo_P1_GTR]

Umm this just happen now the game thinks my Enzo is a 1963 Volkswagen Type 2 De Luxe.

That's the challenge objective. You have to be driving the 1963 Volkswagen Type 2 De Luxe to complete it. It's not the game thinking your Enzo is a VW.

But that's the thing I haven't driven that Volkswagen I don't even own it.

You don't need to own it mate, it's a built in challenge in the game. You find it in the accolades section (I can't remember exactly where in there sorry). @Stang616 is spot on.

Oh. I forgot about that, oops.

Also that would be both funny and at the same time interesting to see a drivetar that isn't from the PS5.

That's the thing I'm confuse about you can complete it with any car not just the Volkswagen then cause its showing as complete in my game.

 

[Edax 76]

In that case then mate it sounds like you've just encountered a FH5 bug. The game is well known for its bugs. When it launched it was in a terrible state but things have improved so much.

Seems like it cause I haven't driven that Volkswagen not once in the game and yet it was completed by my Enzo.

The checkbox isn't ticked, so are you sure it's completed? Did you get the accolade points? You might've smashed the flags in the Enzo, but you only get the accolade if you do it in the VW, right? As another FH newbie myself, you're confusing me here...

Alright, well - what if we meet here, you put it up on the AC while we both have our consoles on - and I snag it as soon as you give me the go?

Just no.

That's part of the beauty of PD's business model: they never stray away from their formula which is why I believe they've had significantly more success than T10 with their FM franchise has.

Yeah see.

Checking my garage I was gifted that Volkswagen but as you can see I haven't driven it.

 

[SpacedInvader]

Wow. Suppose it saves having to do it in the vw at least...
I find some of the accolades really weird, and difficult, there's one that's also a trophy which asks you to complete two trailblazers in different sides of the map in 3 mins or sthg, no idea even where to begin (and off topic, bit don't get me started on Eliminator, 50 attempts and best result a couple of 3rd places...)
I do hope they tone down the crazy antics (odd accolades, trailblazers, danger signs etc) for FH6, absolutely love the road/street/dirt track racing but the unrealistic stuff is just way too OTT for me...
