Customization is naughty

[Punished Miku]

Guess I'll be deleting FH4 before I'm anywhere near done with it. I'll try to go back to it some day.

Moving onto this day 1.

 

[BeforeU]

looks dope, i skipped 4 actually. looking forward to this

 

[Kilau]

Definitely my favorite racing series of all time, knocking out the last few achievements in FH4 so I can make room for 5. Looks fantastic.

 

[Droxcy]

Wish Playground would add VR to the PC release either way looking forward to it

 

[Fake]

Looks stunning as should.

 

[sircaw]

Don't like car games at all, but this is looking very very good.

 

[AJUMP23]

I am still not that interested in Mexico, but it looks fun. I am going to enjoy playing this. I liked the LEGO expansion in 4 that was a lot of fun.

 

[Nikana]

GOTY inbound friends! Between this and Metroid we gonna be eatin good.

 

[R3claimer117]

Playground games proving their moneys worth can't wait to see fable.

 

[Bulletbrain]

Hold up hold up. The previews look great, but does the game not have any BMWs??

 

[RCU005]

I don't like these kind of racing games, but Forza has looked so beautiful for years. Every time a Forza or Forza Horizon releases, it's sure to be a graphical showcase.

 

[harry mason 1989]

I hope I can get xbox series next month
So I can play this masterpiece

 

[CrimsonSquall]

Damn. Looks awesome. Have fun Xboys! I'll be watching thru a window glass till GT7

 

[saintjules]

The lighting and the way the reflection off the cars looks is top notch here.

 

[Chukhopops]

Hold up hold up. The previews look great, but does the game not have any BMWs??

Where did you see that? FH4 has BMW, maybe they signed exclusivity with another racing game though.

 

[AGRacing]

Microsoft saves Christmas.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

If anyone gonna play this in quality mode, don't talk to me or my son ever again.

 

[Thebonehead]

Wish Playground would add VR to the PC release either way looking forward to it

This.

 

[M1chl]

Hold up hold up. The previews look great, but does the game not have any BMWs??

There was literally Zupra in the IGN preview, so why you ask?

 

[Ammogeddon]

If anyone gonna play this in quality mode, don't talk to me or my son ever again.

Saying Quality Mode is a bit of a misnomer isn't it. I'd argue there's nothing quality about a few extra graphical effects at the expense of smoothness and control. I don't even think there should be an option unless it's between 60 and 120, especially in driving games.

 

[Rea]

Looks great, performance mode is the way to go, quality mode looks like a slide show. The pop-in is kinda immersion breaking though.

 

[Bulletbrain]

I just looked at the list here. But you are right, forgot about the ign preview.

 

[Larxia]

I wonder if this will have the same progresssion / reward problem as Horizon 4.

In Forza Horizon 4, you will always get a gold medal, even if you arrive last during a race. We were really shocked by this when we tried it in coop with a friend, we failed a race, wanted to do it again, but we couldn't find it on the map, because there were gold medals on every races we did, but that's just because this is how the game works.

I find this really dumb, it makes looking at your progression and getting better impossible. It's like they didn't want to make anyone feel bad so it's literally a "medal for everyone", participation trophy, and doing terrible or doing well ends up being the same, and... this can't work in an arcade game like this.

 

[N0S]

4 was shit, this one is hopefully more fun to play. How many new cars are we getting.

 

[elliot5]

Looks fantastic. Can't wait. Only a month

 

[FlyyGOD]

4 was shit, this one is hopefully more fun to play. How many new cars are we getting.

To each its own but I enjoyed 4. What didn't you like about 4?

 

[DeepEnigma]

The undercarriage of the BMW Supra... as a car guy, I weep.

 

[Hunnybun]

Looks great, performance mode is the way to go, quality mode looks like a slide show. The pop-in is kinda immersion breaking though.

Yeah the LOD transitions are pretty distracting tbh.

I'm a bit unsure about the graphics in this game actually. Some scenes it looks amazing, borderline photorealistic, others a bit underwhelming. The jungle/forest area doesn't look as good - foliage looks like it's still going to be a bit of a problem this generation

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I can already feel my 3090 getting warm for this one. Can't wait!

 

[elliot5]

Series S gameplay. Looks pretty good to me. Especially in the city. It's even got raytracing in the tune up shop

 

[Emet_bp]

There's no RT but what's more strange it looks like there is less pop in on the Series S than on the Series X in Performance mode.

 

[Plantoid]

Tomorrow is not soon enough!! Please release it NOW!!

 

[BennyBlanco]

I'll wait for tiny gifs in the rain to make my final verdict, but it's looking pretty nice.

 

[MrS]

Looks amazing can't wait to play it

 

[MightySquirrel]

Customization is naughty

 

[elliot5]

The reflection on the ground in the shop when he's doing the engine changes is raytracing. It was mentioned in ¡Let's Go! Which makes sense because it's static, basically FV mode. No RT in gameplay of course

 

[CapnAmaricrunch]

The only question I really have is should I get a xbox for this game, I got a ps5 and switch, oh and a medium setting gaming pc.

 

[hemo memo]

Looks fantastic

 

[CapnAmaricrunch]

Oh and I don't love the mexico setting. The United States would be so much better, Japan, Egypt, hell even Russia

 

[alucard0712_rus]

Well, this is no doubt a fun game that just waits to be played A LOT!
Edit: FUCK! The sound IS better!

 

[M1chl]

The only question I really have is should I get a xbox for this game, I got a ps5 and switch, oh and a medium setting gaming pc.

Obviously PC + controller, if you like play at that desk. Otherwise I don't think that 500USD is unreasonable especially with GP.

 

[Kacho]

Is there a 60fps mode on Series S?

I'll wait for tiny gifs in the rain to make my final verdict, but it's looking pretty nice.

 

[elliot5]

Is there a 60fps mode on Series S?

Yes check the video I posted

 

[DeepEnigma]

Customization is naughty

1200lbs of downforce baby!

 

[Kacho]

Yes check the video I posted

Perfect. Watching now.

 

[prinz_valium]

Yeah. This will release in just 3 weeks and 4 days

 

[Kacho]

Wow so the video they dropped about the improved audio wasn't just marketing nonsense. I'm hyped for this.

 

[93xfan]

Will be watching all these videos later! Can't wait!!

As a side note, this game has gotten me to go back and really dive into the older games rather than just finishing a few races and mostly ignoring them. I've come to the conclusion that this is my favorite current racing series.
