Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Seb75]

I think that'd be a bit untenable; being able to choose your own Evolving World set piece would kinda complicate the way Horizon Life works. Imagine someone who, for example, prefers an empty stadium looking up and seeing a fellow player just... Hanging out in empty space because they chose to have the Stunt Arena as their permanent Evolving World piece. It'll probably just cycle weekly through the fan favorites and then it'll vanish as soon as it's over.

It should be possible for them to program the map, so that only the playes in Horizon Life that currently have the same evolving world, can be in there together. Sort of like a couple of alternative universes with different settings. And whatever Evolving World set piece you choose, you connect only to that Horizon Live map/universe

I'm pretty sure the article about evolving world selection implied they would give a choice of 2 options each time, rather like the weekly choice for backstage cars.

I mean, that's what the Playlist Vote is for, no? Both of the Series up for voting right now had Evolving World bits--Italian Automotive had what I'm just gonna call the Italian Automotive Takeover, while High Performance brought the Oval Track for the first time. My guess is, Horizon Realms will just bring set pieces that probably wouldn't come back otherwise--like, one week you have the Drift Arena (since that was paired with Lunar New Year and probably wouldn't fit in any other timeframe), another week you'll have the Summer Party Stunt Arena, and so on.

One thing I bet they will bring back in Horizon Realms is the Treasure Hunt mazes from Horizon Creatives--those little driving challenges they set up every week to celebrate EventLab 2.0. Those would be too interesting for PG not to reuse. I also wouldn't be surprised if they brought back the Pathfinder stuff from Explore the Horizon, although those were linked to Treasure Hunt stuff too.

Two of my favourite special events we've had in Mexico. I enjoyed these immensely and would welcome both back in a heart beat. Even more complex versions of both would be welcome.

Talking of which has anyone beat The Tower Eventlab? I tip my hat to you if you have, because I haven't.

Sounds like he's got a lot else going on in his life and he's rightly refocused his priorities. Best of luck to him.

With all that travelling around, he's been a bit of a rover.
Let's hope he comes back for FH6. After all, we all want the rover's return...

Once the new game is announced I'm sure he'll come back with a new ton of ridley really informative videos.

As for a preliminary prediction for Horizon Realms's cars, assuming we're still going to get cars in that update... I really don't entirely know. If they're going to do an FH4 and add cars that have to do with the setting of FH6, then I'll be honest, I can't really imagine any up-and-coming German cars that would fit. FH4's final car, the VUHL, at least was only New-to-Horizon, so that lowers the bar dramatically for predictions to 'did it make its first appearance in FM2023?', but even that game hadn't gotten a massive German update until literally this month. It'll probably only be one or two cars though, so if y'all have any suggestions I'm all ears.

JakeXVX I hope you see this on here bud. Thank you for all your Forza content over the years. So sorry to hear how you felt last year. It's sad when a passion becomes a chore, happy to hear you say things are looking up though.

Hopefully we'll see you again when FH6 releases if you feel you want to. Until then bud, in your own words from the video, "Live a long life, and don't die suddenly" lol.

P.S. I'm sorry as well for the Bet Lynch jokes.
