Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Digolgrin]

Jag's rebrand is honestly hilarious--like, yeah it's one thing to go full EV, but to do that, scrub your ICE cars altogether, and then try to go all avant-garde futurist with it all in the same year? Whoever's in charge of Jaguar at this point must be looking to cash out in Vegas!

Maybe Tata decided to rebrand Jaguar into their premium EV brand?

So, this is just a rumor. So take it with the biggest grain of salt:

Hah, y'know what, that feels like it'd explain a lot about that teaser's production value!

I'd be curious to know what this'll mean for Jag's ICEs in future games, but I have a feelin' they'll stick around; after all they wouldn't be crazy enough to start from zero and not let those cars reappear.

 

[skazz]

It's not even that crazy, for example Polestar went from Volvo's motorsport brand to its 100% EV brand in barely any time. And Volvo is owned by Geely these days.

And that's the final 992 in my garage. I'll probably max this Playlist out, and see what the Holiday Update brings. Thinkin' this might be the last Playlist I complete this way, at least--if not my final update, period, this one was just too exciting to ignore.

EDIT: I nearly forgot about the Backstage Pass voting! Looks like the SVJ and the XKR-S won last week--this week it's an all-Nissan showdown between the Tsuru and the RZ34.

Leaker is apparently extremely unreliable and only trustworthy on GamePass-related leaks. This is to say, most of his "leaks" otherwise are nonsense.

I would not be to supriced if fh6 is revealed next year during microsoft showcase.

I doubt it personally. Playground's next major effort is Fable, and I have a feeling that the end of FH5's streams, and the next update being a remix of a prior Playlist (presumably, assuming the title isn't referring to the Showcase Remix), is signifying an imminent end to FH5 as a live service. It'll be a couple years before we hear about FH6; maybe it'll even be a soft reboot like FM2023 turned out to be.

Well I've had an interesting Trial this evening lol. The 5 team mates I was placed with all rage quit after constantly ramming each other and me. We lost the first round horribly because of it, and 4 of them quit after that round.

Half way through round 2 after taking me and themselves out on lap 1 as you pass the stadium in town, my last 'team mate' threw in the towel and quit. I caught the AI up and finished 3rd which was enough to win round two.

All on my own round 3 was a piece of cake. I stormed home on my own and won easily. Absolutely bizarre.

I usually give the trial a few tries but this time I found another way to earn the 20 points without doing it.

My experience wasn't far off yours, only the "mass quitting" happened later - 1st race, 1 person quits. 2nd race, 2 people (myself included) remained No clue what happened with them, whether they ragequit or had internet problems or else. On the flipside, me and the remaining member did manage to complete the Trial with just 2 races so that's nice.

From my understanding the guys that makes horizon are not effected by the ones that make fable,

Fh5 will turn 4 years next year,
Is more time means a better game i rather wait another 1-2 years,

I have not played fh5 in like 18 months so there will be enough content to keep me intrested, and a lot of good things that can be done with eventlab,

Hello,

How did you get the 992 Turbo S ?

 

[GBalao888]

I would not be to supriced if fh6 is revealed next year during microsoft showcase.

Plus you have to consider that if FH6 were to be revealed next year, they'll face stiff competition with GTA 6 and Tokyo Xtreme Racer.

 

[Famine]

How did you get the 992 Turbo S ?

It's the reward for one of the Seasonal Championships this week.

Thank you, I totally missed this car... I will get it ASAP. Thanks again.
P.-S. Any chance, in December to buy the Porsche 992 GT3 RS in Forza MOTORSPORT ? Do you have any news ?

 

[KILLER2JZ]

Anyone know when we will get info about the next months update?

 

[Digolgrin]

Anyone know when we will get info about the next months update?

No one knows for sure. If we use FM2023 as precedent then we can expect it on Tuesday, the day before the patch is pushed live. Other than that it could literally be at any moment and we just wouldn't know.

[Digolgrin]

So the Bentley Flying Spur and German Luxury for the Holiday Update, with the RZ34 getting its Nismo trim, and... Exactly one car for January (that admittedly we had warning about beforehand). Buh?

 

[egl92]

I love these two:

2006 Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG Wagon
2014 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon

 

[-Fred-]

TWO Wagons??

 

[skazz]

• The 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS now shows the accurate badge on the wheels, and the silhouette displayed on the infotainment screen has been fixed

No more Ford RS badge on the wheels or previous gen GT3 RS image on the infotainment, Oh yes

 

[nukleabomb]

Did I miss something or is there no Secret Santa this year?

 

[Digolgrin]

Did I miss something or is there no Secret Santa this year?

There is not. The Nismo RZ34 is a Seasonal Championship reward but that's it for non-Playlist reward cars.

 

[L8 Apex]

TWO Wagons??

TWO supercharged V8 super wagons!

 

[curtis 1-8-7]

E55 AMG???? Yessss!!!!

 

[skazz]

I'm most happy about the Flying Spur, and then the M5 CS - glad to have modern versions of both of them (and having the Conti GTC paid DLC makes no difference to that thought).
