Forza Horizon 5 comes to PS5 this Spring

Astro Bot is better than all of those combined.

It is not even better than Banjo-Tooie (in Rare Collection)...

Sounds nice but I have my doubts about the delivery. They can’t even get their PC store working properly but now they’ve created a whole new front end that integrates flawlessly with other stores and will never break when those stores update? I’m very interested to see if they can pull that off.

Great news (unless you are an xbox fanboy). The game is great, 4 is my favorite, but 5 is better in every way other than setting.

I'm guessing they relaunch their Xbox app at the same time as the PC. Either way, I seriously doubt the new Xbox will be sold at a loss or with high expectations. Xbox Series is a boat anchor around their neck at this point. MS is done chasing market share.

I truly do believe their end goal is to gradually integrate “Xbox” into Windows entirely so that they can ditch hardware while ensuring previous Xbox owners still have access to the digital titles they paid for.

People who have Xbox libraries will still be able to access them, just on their gaming PC running Windows 12/13/14/Whatever.

Sure I know that's the plan but integrating all that stuff without having full control of the other stores (Steam, Epic, Etc) and keeping it working is going to be tough. Not to mention installing some Steam games installs other stores on top of it so they basically have to be compatible with every PC store. It's a huge task Xbox is undertaking to get all that working and feeling like a console like experience. Unless they are playing very fast and loose with the "console like experience".

I know some people are having a rough time but fucking hell, the cringe is so strong I must sleep immediately to forget what I've read. Some people going to get drunk and cry themselves to sleep tonight. It's ok. Everything will seem better in the morning after a good cry and sleep.

Honestly not bothered. Last time I checked It doesn’t effect my bank account or my lifestyle. What’s cringe, is people like your self trying hard to act like anybody is salty over this. It’s just games bruh. Pull ya skirt down bro . Nobody is upset about anything here. Stop projecting how YOU want people to feel about this on to other people comments. Weirdo. 😂

PC is a competitor. It's true that pc, Xbox and Nintendo have their own space to flourish but they're still competing especially pc and ps5. They'll keep eachother honest.
TBH I don't think it is. You'll never convince casuals to give up the brainless ease of a console for the complication of PC. It's just not realistic IMO

I saw this and was debating making a thread on it, especially given that K KeplerL2 posts here with us.

I believe I mentioned before that there will be a moment when someone has to sign off on the big money R&D and manufacturing costs that they will need for any kind of Xbox new gen to happen, and that will be the real moment of truth.

I honestly don't think their business results have earned the chance to make another gen. I think only the fear of a bad headline is making this next gen plan happen at the moment.

I don't think MS is afraid of bad headlines. They've had years of exposure therapy.

They need to give their GP base somewhere to land next-gen. I can't see them getting out of hardware completely. They also have lots of customers worried about access to their digital library. They can't just leave everyone stranded. They'll have to put out something, even if it's just a handheld GP-in-a-box sort of thing.

A new console is not worth all the costs that come with it. If you look closely, they've been actively moving away from their consoles for a good while now. They promote every device being an Xbox, and in a next move they would suddenly announce a dedicated next-gen console. Who would fall for that?

Besides with MS going now all in, which is quite certain after yesterday, on multiplatform there is even less of a reason to buy a next-gen Xbox. Why would you? They already showed not even Forza is sacred, this means the step to Halo and Gears is an easy one. Matter of fact, Forza Horizon is today a bigger franchise than both GoW and Halo. In a way they already chose to port their most succesful game.

You could also stick with Playstation and play those MS games there along with Sony's own output. Think about it, on PS5 you can play both Forza and GT very soon.

Damn. Who else remembers all the talk about Sony being the one to leave the biz back in the PS3 days? This would've felt like a huge victory I was such a fanboy back then, now I can't stand Sony. Idk how to feel.
 
Blue hats when MLB The Show came to Xbox?
Here's the difference. I can basically guarantee you that The Show came to other platforms because the MLB mandated it and not because Sony knew they were fighting a losing battle and in order to maintain any sort of relevancy in the gaming space they needed to become a publisher.

MLB is possibly the worst thing you could ever choose to try to make that argument or joke. Plus Forza is one of Microsoft's Big 3 which would be like Horizon/TLOU/God of War and not a sports title.

Claims to not be bothered, then has a bitch fit for the rest of the post and leaves the emoji! Your not fooling anyone! Your salty posts are there to see for everyone.

Been this way for months. Outside of people who make money off the attention and drama, almost no one cares. Xbox hasn’t had exclusives for like two generations. They want to act like this is earth shattering to Xbox users. Wake me up when they cancel hardware altogether and my only console options are Sony’s horrible user experience, or Nintendo.

Kind of disappointing. But a chance to showcase the best racing game on the biggest audience/platform.
Which is crazy cause this was where NFS could’ve evolved to but EA dropped the ball. I’m quite excited to play Horizon this spring as I missed playing it in my 360 days, it was a banger with a killer soundtrack.

I hear ya! To be honest all I care about is that they continue to make Xbox’s and I have a way to play my backlog in front of my TV on new hardware, and gamepass keeps delivering. As long as they keep doing that they can sell their games on whatever they like for all I care.

Say that then. The moment you say its going to outsell PS first party games, its obvious that you're triggered. All you had to say was it will do well on PS5. Simple. Player numbers isn't sales sales by the way. There's a massive difference between the two. It won't be inflated on PS5 because its not on subscription. I think 5m-10m may be possible. No chance of doing gran turismo numbers. We're talking full priced copies now. Not cheap subscription service where simply opening the game counts in the player numbers.
Sounds like to me, people will be ready to pay for a real game then!

He's full of shit and is just in the acceptance stage.

Rumours say it’s multiformat. If they were smart they would realise they still need exclusives…… but hey it’s MS…… they will probably announce it as multi platform.

That’s amazing! 😀 Now, imagine if they had some great 1st party exclusives that wasn’t yet another remaster to play on it.

Shame…. If only the execs higher up fealt the same way and we’re cutthroat enough to do the needed steps to make Xbox competitive…… they certainly would have been better off than they are now.



If I was in charge there would never have been a day where an Xbox games sees the light of day on a PS console….. indy would never be coming to PS…… and I would have spent a tonne of money money hatting exclusives only top of that…. All agressive moves…..


Luckily For non Xbox owners MS ain’t like that and love money more than competition so here we are.

Same could be said for Indy and anything else they got coming out.

It would have been nuts. Shame they gave up on competing JUST as they are starting to cook.
