Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

Yay, we're getting Fred Flintstones car........

It will be in the Wastelands and the main goal will be to hunt for gasoline and buried vaults with rare cars inside.

They'd still put Forza aero on it!!

It's prehistoric at this point.

Does anyone have a current list of the cars with super wheelspins in their mastery perks? The ones I found online are all out-of-date and I’ve already got way too many cars to check individually.

The video was posted in January of this year. Since then, I think only Peel Trident has lost superwheelspin and Revuelto has arrived with it.

The video is in Portuguese, my native language. But the images speak for themselves.

Woke up this morning and read these comments from over night and started the day with a good chuckle.

Cheers 👍

Many thanks for this

Bummer they didn't add more props to the builder. The barriers with signage on the Stadium Circuit are really cool and would've been great to add to realistically styled circuits I have previously made. Its a shame none of the Horizon Universe brands have any items in the builder actually, would help just add that touch of detail.

Complete change of subject but I have to share this. I far as I can work out it doesn't break any site rules but if it does and it needs to be removed then I apologise in advance.

I made the following changes to the back of my bosses Volvo this morning....

The best bit? He drove from work to Abingdon (South Oxfordshire) and back again, about 20 miles round trip before he noticed it. For those that don't know Abingdon it's a big town and is very busy every May Day.

Luckily he took the joke very well, I'm still employed 😂😂😂

I call people that in the Trial every week...

Georgia O'Keeffe is impressed

Now that's a clever joke. Flower paintings 😂😂😂

Played through the first hour, man this game is like Dirt 5 on speed. I also feel its with a controller much easier than wheel.

This is actually my biggest criticism of the Mexico map to be honest - every road is designed for driving 4 cars wide at 200mph, so there's a huge proportion of the cars in the game that simply don't have anywhere interesting to drive them. The rally expansion map is better for this, but running around the same two twisty roads does tire out quickly.

My personal wish for FH6 is that there will be at least one area of the map with the density and tightness of Ibiza from TDU Solar Crown. The two-lane roads make even 60mph in an Abarth 500 feel genuinely fast, and a V6 Exige is like reaching light speed. However, trying to wrestle an Aventador around the place is perhaps less fun than on faster open roads, and Horizon is openly aimed at people who want to drive the latest Lambo or Ferrari flat out, even if that means that every single muscle car just sits on the rev limiter in 4th waiting for the next braking point in a mile or two.

I agree with this criticism, but as much as they look kinda janky, the event lab fixes this problem to a large extent. There are some crazy tight and narrow custom courses that people build. Here's a short section of one of my favorites, Paunke Hill

The other nice thing with these maps is that the surface for whatever reason has less grip than the default roads in the game, which are IMHO pretty unrealistic with how much grip they give.

Free path to FH6

 

[TokoTurismo]

Good. Now PG can make 2025 their year by releasing FH6 this year, wink wink nudge nudge T10 and MS?

You beat me to it bud. I was about to post this. I think we be in Japan/Germany/China/South Africa etc by this Christmas.

 

[Beebo]

My bet is on either Japan or California this time around, it's kind of hard to ignore the evidence towards Japan haha, or they could be inadvertently trolling us. Not really too peeved about any particular location just so long as it has some cool secret areas to explore.

I’m sure they were doing more than just re-scanning Fujimi Kaido out there https://forza.net/news/forza-motorsport-fujimi-kaido

 

[Gingerale]

I have no side how to oo the weekly seasonal stuff lol. But enjoying myself.

Probably the best way to approach the weekly series is to go left to right on the menu: First check the daily events (1 unlocks each day and remain open), then the Forzathon shop to see if there is something you want to buy (with Forza Points, which are earned through activities), then the Trial (if you qualify), and so on...

Can't lie, that would be genuinely outstanding.

There weren't microtransactions in FM7, but there is Car Voucher system in Horizon 5 which is microtransactions.

Which nobody needs to buy.

There are plethora of really expansive cars which would take multiple hours of grind to obtain. Especially if you arent all that well aware of how properly farm in game $$$. I find mix of all those monetization types annoying by itself, if not scamy.

Doing a wheelspin is easy. And you don't need expensive cars to play the game or compete. Who the hell grinds in FH5? Just do the playlists. Where's the scam?

 

[inCloud]

Doing a wheelspin is easy.

Its random. Lets say you want some 1 mil car, how long does it take to obtain it? Without wheelspins its, maybe, 50 events and wheelspins could give you anything from 1000$ to cloth to expensive but not desired car.

Who the hell grinds in FH5

Not like there are other way to get 320.000.000 to buy everything in autoshow.

Where's the scam

Lets say, finding new monetization types in b2p singleplayer game could feel scamy. Not like it really bother me, but I would prefer to not have it on top of ton of pay walled content they already dropped.

I, usually, don't act like drama queen when developer releasing some mtx, but overall Horizon 5 feels designed so bad, that I just like to bitch about it one more time.

Which part of the game requires you to buy some 1 mil car to progress?

They give you cars by doing events. Buying everything in the Autoshow is optional. You don't have to run the same event over and over for money like other games.

mtx

lol

 

[Nacho Libre]

That speed trap/car brand/class combination... But I managed by getting the Mitsu that could do it by burning one backstage pass... Does that count as pay to win?

I bought that one as well. Still a few mph short on my first attempts. Need a different tune.

he failed to ragebait. Somehow you can get that 1 mil car for cheaper at auction house. 2. You can easily get wheelspins from car mastery or buying it from the forzathon shop. 3. You get free 1 car voucher iirc and the car voucher is completely optional like treasure map.

 

[Edax 76]

Hey up team. I'm really struggling on this week's Trail Blazer (B700 Volkswagen in Guanajuato).

Anyone got any good tips/tunes that could help please?

Thanks in advance.👍
