Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[GTvsForza]

I used the I-Pace for Starship Horizon. This event tanks my game when loading up, but it's breathtaking.

I used a Ford Lightning did see some gaps in the walls on the series X.

I just tried it with an Extreme E and there was debris everywhere. Not enough to cause interference, but enough that it sounded like I was racing through a field of fluorescent lights and loose 2x4s.

I'm convinced PG employees continue to do this as a running in-joke.

Huh? Sony is now collaborating with Microsoft? Whoa!

 

[Edax 76]

A bit left field this one but I would've loved to have seen the Volkswagen ID-R return already in FH5. I really want to take it up the side of the volcano with it's tremendous grip and acceleration.

The Afeela is coming to GT7 first, then hopefully... probably Forza soon thereafter.

Only for about the last four years...

Sony and Microsoft Announce Game and Content-Streaming Partnership

Two of the giants of console gaming -- and fierce rivals -- have announced a partnership that will see them jointly develop new products and technologies for consumer entertainment. Microsoft and Sony issued a joint statement announcing a memorandum of understanding. Under this agreement, the two

Although I'd say Azure OpenAI being used for a personal assistant in a Sony-developed car is smaller fry in gaming terms among yesterday's news than the multiple reports of Microsoft-owned properties (Hi Fi Rush the most-cited, with Sea of Thieves noted too) being mooted for Switch and PS5 releases...

I had a weird glitch in the Weekly Challenge with the DBR1. The second challenge is to bank a skill chain of 50,000 points, which I did easily. But I didn’t get a notification that it was completed. I checked the Weekly Playlist. It said I had completed it, but the second circle was still white rather than the yellow it shows when it’s done. Not only that, but it wasn’t showing me what the third task was. So I restarted the game. When I got back in the game, none of my progress was saved. So I banked another 50,000 point skill chain. Again, nothing. Figuring the phrase “see how well it handles” might be a clue, I took it to the stadium to drive around the inside on the concrete banking. After a minute, I got a message that part three was complete. I didn’t know it but maintaining a speed of 100+ mph was the third challenge. Not only that, but the second challenge was finally showing complete.

So everything’s great, right? The game crashed while I was typing this up.

Now that I’ve restarted the game a third time, it shows the first two challenges complete, but not the third. Oh the joys of being a Series S user.

Happened to me too when I was doing the task it just gifted me the 50k and I was able to do the next challenge.

I have been having some weird crashes and glitches lately with this game starting right around the secret santa GMA T50 release which I still cant download..absolutely weird after being flawless for about 2 years.

 

[-Fred-]

It's so strange because I've not had any issues whatsoever with anything related to either FH5 or FM23 in a long time. Well, aside from the random disconnections at odd times, though I feel like that's my Series X being temperamental as I get random disconnections no matter what game or app I play/use and just on that console. My OG One has no issues, even my 360 has no issues, but the SX just doesn't want to play ball with my router it seems.

Are you on a Series S? That’s what I’m on. It took me six tries tonight before I finally finished the Weekly Playlist.

Yes im on series S. That explains that then

 

[skazz]

I suspect that PG ended up loaning almost all their QA staff to Fable and FM23 for the last few months and this is causing the issue…

Associate creative director. They work beneath the creative director.

I would not expect a new FH until near the end of life of the current generation, so the title may be ported to the new consoles. That being said, I would certainly welcome remastered versions of FH1/2.

 

[skazz]

A remastered car game sounds like a terrible idea when the car roster is such an important part.

If they try and relicense older cars from the original game, quite a few will fail which nostalgic fans hate. If they don't update the car roster for the current year they will struggle to get interest from a general audience.

The way I'd do it would use the current car roster and redo FH1/2 maps and events.

Just got in from work and put the game on quickly to do today's Forzathon, bank 50,000 skill score in the HW Boneshaker. As soon as I came out the garage and started driving it just popped as completed for me. I also just banked 104,000 points to be safe.

Anyone else had this happen?

I already got forty points on Saturday but booted up the Series X to check. If it's the "A Ton, A Skeleton!" daily challenge, then I can confirm I had to drift the Boneshaker into cacti for a good few minutes until it triggered at 50k.

That's the one bud. Thanks for checking. I've just checked back in the game and it's stayed popped. Bizarre.

Not on the topic of Forza, nor was it due to the game developers, but NFSHP:Remastered was a bit disappointing for this very reason.
Yes, they did a good job and continued to feature nearly every car from the original game, including the DLC.

However, the most unique car in the game, the Carbon Motors E7, never made it into the remastered version due to their bankruptcy and problems with the license to this car...
