Holy God Jesus , stunning absolutely stunning

 

[Jibran#one]

U will hate horizon 4 after watching these , it looks so barren and lifeless, the scene density is absolutely a big generational leap

 

[sainraja]

I've never used the steering wheel setup with any racing game. I might just do it with FH5. How realistic does it really feel if you get that?

 

[elliot5]

damn FH5 looks stunning. so excited

 

[skneogaf]

Best looking land vehicle game to go along with the best looking air vehicle game in flight simulator 2020!

 

[abacab driver]

What else needs to be said, really..?
Just incredible work.

Still think this needs ray-tracing, haters?

 

[Little Chicken]

More impressive than the initial E3 showing. Looks amazing.

 

[The_Observer]

Is there any good comparison vids with FH4? I still don’t see it as a huge step up. Which is not surprising given that FH4 is still among the most realistic looking games. I played more than 50 hours on base Xbox One and besides image quality and pop-up I found the graphics utterly amazing. It’s maybe that I find the European landscape and lighting more realistic as I’m more accustomed to it than to Mexico and that’s why I don’t see this as a huge leap?

There probably are comparisons on Youtube.
For me, the difference is huge, and i put near 100 hours into FH4, on PC too.
Its the fine detail, the amount of foliage, rocks, etc, its way beyond FH4 and 3.

Same, i have over 170+ hours on pc and i can clearly see all the improvements from texture detail, lighting, shaders, the density of the environments and draw distance. FH4 was already one of the best looking game last gen and they gave FH5 a solid upgrade.

Beautiful, there is nothing else you can say.

[l2ounD]

Even more little animal animations are nice

 

[Kagey K]

Crazy to think MS is going to have 2 of the most photorealustic games on the market before the end of the year.

Just gorgeous.

 

[BeardGawd]

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Holy shit what a beautiful time sink this is going to be.

 

[Certinty]

It's actually quite funny how these Horizon games have got to a point where the odd numbered games are by far the best ones with the even numbered ones being quite disappointing.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

This game is going to flex so well with the 3090. Can't wait

Well, the developers are owned by the makers of Windows

 

[kingfey]

Well, the developers are owned by the makers of Windows

Og xbox, x360, xbox one, xbox one s, xbox one x, xbox series s, xbox series x.

And they are also bad at naming things.

 

[The_Observer]

Yeah, it‘s the setting, meaning that I can see that FH5 objectively looks better (though not by a huge margin IMO) but I still find FH4 looking more realistic. I guess this is a question of preference.

 

[jezhumphrey75]

Holy God Jesus , stunning absolutely stunning

jesus put halo on that engine, looks stunning.

 

[Whitecrow]

We are reaching the uncanny valley of cant get more photorealistic but still looks like a game : /

 

[Sony]

This game checks every box so far. It even has localized weather. When it's raining and you drive up a mountain, the rain will turn into snow. That's some awesome stuff man.

 

[jhjfss]

Note to Polyphony Digital: how on earth are the MS studios able to ship like 6 (outstanding) race games over a short period and you guys are working on Gran Turismo games for ages. I swear it's like you are assembling the cars yourself.

Polyphony is like 343 and Playground is like insomniac.

 

[John Wick]

Latest footage looks class

 

[The_Observer]

Best video so far IMO

 

[nbkicker]

Looks really good, congrats Xbox owners.

Yep i use to love gran turismo , but not played one since trading my ps3 in, although not played a forza as use to be a big playstation fanboy, now ive got a ps5 and a xbox x think ill be trying this game, polyphony use to be the leader in driving games, but now when they first show there games it looks amazing, but by time there game actually comes out it just ends up looking average to whats out by then, just wish sony had kept evolution studios then they could have had two company's making driving games

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Looks incredibly hot

Insane! And this is the dev that is also working on Fable

 

[HTK]

Getting my Xbok bundle tomorrow, really looking forward to Horizon 5 on my LG OLED.

 

[elliot5]

Map and stream clips deserve a thread but I'm on vacation so I can't

 

[Low Moral Fibre]

I've been playing FH4 again on PC with everything maxed and while it's probably the most fun I've ever had in a driving game this looks miles better graphically. I'm really looking forward to playing this.

I've not read the thread so maybe already discussed but I wonder if the last gen version will effectively be a different game like the 360 and Xbox One versions of Horizon 2.

 

[Bergoglio]

Now imagine a third action adventure game without xbox one version

[Midn1ght]

The 3080 is for 4K/Ultra I presume?

I'm targeting 2K/Ultra - Very High so I bet my 3060Ti/11600K will be good to go (I hope).

And there's no DLSS, correct?

 

[spyshagg]

Giving me Driveclub vibes

Not really

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Forza Horizon games are pretty much guaranteed to always be masterpieces in their own right, to the extent that for many, what started out as an offshoot subseries has surpasses the mainline Forza games.

Based on everything that we've seen of Forza Horizon 5 so far, it certainly seems like it's going to be yet another excellent entry in the open world racing franchise, so it makes sense that excitement for it is quite high. In this feature, we're going to prepare for its imminent launch by talking about some key details that you should know about the game.

Forza Horizon 5 leans into realism, and is more drivable as a result

A test drive with Xbox’s racer offers much more than just postcard scenes and car cheesecake

www.polygon.com

Only article regarding a recent press hands on preview?

Edit, nope more coming out

Forza Horizon 5 is a playable tourist board ad - in a good way

First impressions of the open-world racing game from a preview of its first hour or so, including its full Mexico-set map.

Seems like they improved a lot the progression system, the audio and the handling.

25 more days to go..

Edit: comparison between performance and quality mode posted by IGN:



Not sure I see a lot of difference and it seems Performance is fine.

 

[spartan30gr]

A good comparison video from ign, between quality mode and perfomance mode

 

[Tommi84]

A good comparison video from ign, between quality mode and perfomance mode

Yeah, performance mode all the way. Only insane people would chose Quality mode

 

[SlimySnake]

A good comparison video from ign, between quality mode and perfomance mode

Why have both modes be native 4k? Just do a 1440p mode with Quality mode graphics settings?

 

[Plantoid]

Performance mode all the way, and I didn't notice that much of a difference in graphics

 

[DonkeyKong]

Performance mode all the way, and I didn't notice that much of a difference in graphics

I agree, hard to spot that much difference, performance mode is looking good

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Looking forward to see what Playground do with Fable, hopefully we see something at the VGAs or early next year
