Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[RageRacer]

PS5? Hmm, not bad.

After getting the Challenger today, and after restless hunting, I FINALLY snatched the Cadillac Wagon from the Auction House out of pure luck! Woo!

All that's left is that 1995 Mustang and I have all exclusive cars collected.

I am not sure how good Panic Button is at ports, especially one so hugely optimised as Forza. And PS5 controller support will be interesting - will they embrace the controller or leave triggers unsupported?

Either way, I'm pleased for PS5 users that they get to embrace one of the best car games ever made.

Panic Button handled next-gen port work for FH4, and was also responsible for the Switch ports of the modern Bethesda FPS games. I think they'll do at least a decent job at this point.

..............Why? I'm sure some can break it down how this is a good idea but I just don't see it. Forza has always been for xbox

Um, the PC releases have kind of proven its got plenty of potential on other platforms.

Money. Microsoft can make more as a 3rd party publisher on Playstation and Switch 2 than with exclusives on just Xbox/PC. Good for them, good for gamers.

The long and short of it is that Microsoft hasn't been doing too well with its own exclusive strategy and wants to go third-party. Part of that is porting its old exclusives to PS5--the success of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle there seems to have influenced ports elsewhere.

Then can we see Gran Turismo on xbox too? Please? Pretty please?

There have been GT on PC rumours for years, after some other Playstation exclusives made their way over. But if MS is putting 1st party exclusives on the playstation they are basically admitting that their hardware is not selling well enough. There may not be a next gen Xbox at this rate...

It's either going to be a portable PC-type device, your twice-upgraded PC or a Sony PS6!

They are many bugs/glitches waiting to be fixed - that said, they are not quite accurate. To name a few:
1. LaFerrari active rear diffuser (was functional in FH3);
2. SF90 Stradale active rear 'spoiler' thingy (they said 'not gonna fix');
3. FXX-K Evo active rear wing (weird enough, is functional on FXX-K);
4. 720S Coupe airbrake (is functional on 720S Spider).

BTW, is it possible to make Rear Wheel Steering functional when having an upgraded suspension?

Nope, you have to use the stock suspension as far as I'm aware.

The wing on SF90 and FXX-K Evo probably needs more rework, that's why they didn't bother to fix it for years now. Looking at the files for both of those cars. The animation for the wing doesn't exist. So its not like they forget to enable it. The FXX-K Evo doesn't even have the wing animation on Forza Motorsport.

Not gonna lie, I feel a bit weirded out that Forza Horizon 5 is coming to PlayStation 5, given that Forza was Microsoft exclusive for a long time.

I'm also at the same time happy that PlayStation fans can now enjoy Forza.

People say the competition 'pushes innovation and encourages one another to be the best they can' but really, its only necessary these days to keep the others in check. Without Xbox, Sony would be the only premium console maker around, meaning they have free reign to do / charge whatever they want for their console, services, games and more. Sony did try this with the PS3 and it absolutely blew up in their faces, but it has been nearly 20 years since that whole debacle and the gaming landscape if far different to what it once was.

Agree with you, but and if one party is not able to sustain the blow, then this is where we are.... Just have to wait and see if and how Microsoft can recover to be a better competitor...

Its the same as with Airbus and Boeing...
Boeing is now hurt really bad on so many fronts, it will take years for them to recover, it is impacting Airbus because now all the customers wants an Airbus.... But it is a problem as they cannot satisfy a market that is based on two OEMs, while the other OEM is out of the office....

Customers may and will have to pay more going forward, before Boeing gets back on its feet.

I fail to see why you would fail to see what is so clear and flagrant: all the benefits Microsoft can gain by no longer making this exclusive.... Xbox is hurting bad compared to PS, at least Forza vs GT... (From a return of investment perspective)

Standing your own ground when you are not getting any more customers is not going to make things better...

Then can we see Gran Turismo on xbox too? Please? Pretty please?

No. No soup for you. You can get yourself a PlayStation first... Says Sony.

Why feel weird ?
Forza is a great game, but not great enough to dethrone GT.
Forza lost the battle and war against GT.
There are still much more benefits and financial gain if Microsoft admit it, which they are now, by allowing more people to buy Forza, than to stand their ground and force people like myself to buy an Xbox, something that I will never do, because it is against my religion ☯️

Lol
