People had been going around saying that Forza will apparently be on PlayStation before the Gamescom event.
Lol and it didn’t even happen.

Funny how Gran Turismo confirmed a Michael Jordan collab over a decade ago and it has never materialized yet this happens in under a month

Just think of it like the Barbie one. Barbie cars were given away free to promote the movie, whereas this new Luca car is being given away free to promote his new shoe brand.
I'm just hoping we get a Michael Jordan themed car selection for the next season, since he has some interesting cars in his collection.
I wouldn't get your hopes up too much - I suspect if they had more to show of the partnership they would have, because at this point it's just a car with Jordan logos on it and a branded suit. It's a little bit more than, say, the Cheetos Raptor or OPI Ford GT, as the car has some new bodywork, but even the Fallout and Cyberpunk tie-ins with entirely new cars didn't really go further than those single cars.

True; I get the sense they'll remind us of the partnership again at the stream for Hidden Horizons, along with a playthrough of the mode to remind us of that too.
One thing that's interesting to note is that the Hiders' car selection is essentially all of the big-ass off-roaders you see in traffic, there's no asphalt cars in there to speak of (i.e. no Galant and no Vocho), and all of them are from the Autoshow. That's going to really harm the mode's longevity if those cars are all you get for the entire duration of the game's remaining lifespan, the AWD Seeker cars are going to be the meta for sure.
Fully predicting this is either going to be something you play in your Convoy for the hell of it or die off within the first two months.

That is... actually quite a realistic scenario for how a game might play out, wow.
My notes:
- The countdown between the final rush for the finish and the beginning of the round seems too long. I get that it's for the tense cat and mouse feel of the mode but I'd shorten that by two minutes.
- The chase breaker seems WAY overpowered. Since the cooldowns don't change between uses (i.e. after two uses the chase breaker should take longer to cooldown), if you can't find a Hider within 40 seconds after he uses it on you, he's just gonna use it again the next time you find him. Does the Seeker Ping counter the ghosting, or is it ineffective until it goes away?
-How's the Seeker detection bar work? Does it go up faster the more Seeker eyeballs are in range of the Hider? If so, this could tip the odds in their favor if they catch a Hider off-guard.
- New Forza links just for this mode does show some substantial effort. Do they give away the Hider's position if they use one? Probably not.
- That compass looks a LOT like the compass you got in Assassin's Creed multiplayer, specifically in modes like Hunted, the big map deathmatch.

Not just any Venom F5--a Venom F5 Revolution, the roadster variant. If T10 got into Jordan's car collection because of this collab (which, highly unlikely I know but the last time we had a break between car packs, the first one back turned out to be the result of a collab), that would be something they'd have to at least get PG to cram into the Playlist. There's also a 1989 911 in there, the SlantNose with pop-up headlights (and a Cadillac XLR-V) but, eh.
Personally I think Hidden Horizons is going to be an update focusing on cars where performance is hiding in plain sight, but I wouldn't know where to begin looking on that one.

I think they may give us a surprise and increase the number and frequency of traffic cars in the game (and also those models usable in hide and seek mode) when the next season turns up. Just having 4 usable traffic cars in hide and seek is a bit limited after all.

Yeah--hence, me not knowing where to look for my predictions. Like, yeah I feel like I have an idea for how PG decided what cars went into the High Performance Dailies restriction--car must have an engine no larger than a V8 that puts out about 200 HP or more, be either a hatchback, a four-door or have large enough trunk space to carry groceries (or a combination of all three), have an FF or AWD drivetrain (with exceptions made for FR if the car has enough driving assists to count), and at least lean towards asphalt racing, no off-roaders allowed--but when it comes to sleepers, I've got no clue how to begin.
Oh heck no, I've got enough troubles with traffic coming out of nowhere as it is! Increasing the amount of traffic at any one time would cause me great suffering indeed!

Yesterday, I impulse purchased the 3 paid car packs I didn't have. I had a hunch the Toyota Sera could be good, as light weight, fairly aerodynamic looking, FWD, seems like a formula that is generally good in Forza.
That's the rivals for Bahia, the first track in the road racing section.

I was looking into a TRD Camry before I got my Kona N, I drove one and the gears are a little too long for my taste and it feels really heavy while the Kona feels like a Honey Badger on cocaine.

According to this fm.net article, it doesn't look like any car will be locked behind it. Unless PG pulls a fast one, think it'll just be achievements/accolades and badges.

Accolades are probably exactly where they can pull a fast one, but I bet if they do give them car rewards they'll either be old Hard-to-Finds or more expensive Autoshow cars, like the ones that came with either the January or December updates. Nothing exclusive. That way they can remove some cars from that pool and encourage people to play it!
