Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Komrad Syka]

The new Track Edition with 3000bhp or the old version without the wing and with only 1200bhp?

 

[skazz]

Ok, well I guess the only current hypercars suitable for the FH6 cover are the McLaren W1 or the Lamborghini Fenomeno then?
Both marques have been on the cover before, so either is possible.

I'm sure a number of my fellow drivers were giving me side eyes when I showed up at this week's stock BMW Coupe Trial in a car featuring a rear wing and full race livery. Fortunately for me someone (think it was ugrundy) had provided me with a sleeper tune which improved the handling and acceleration without breaking the PI limit. I suspect swapping the AWD train for RWD knocked a few points off the PI which the tuner was able to play about with.

2-1 finish, no sweat.

I was either in that race, or with someone else with the same tune.
I did wonder, especially when I saw how good the launch was! 😂
I always thought stock meant stock, not just the same PI as stock!
Worth knowing!

If FH6 is the rumoured game for TGS 2025. we have two livestreams reserved for it (all times in JST):

Under Official Program:
September 25

• 19:00 to 19:50 – Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 Broadcast (YouTube [English, ASL, Audio Descriptions, Japanese) and Twitch (English]) – The Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 Game Showcase will kick off at 19:00 JST on September 25, where we will share the latest developments from our studio and an exciting lineup of games from creators in Japan and across Asia.

Under Famitsu/Dengeki Online:
September 27 (YouTube)

• 18:00 – Opening
• 18:30 – Majogami (Inti Creates)
• 19:00 – Xbox Title (Microsoft Gaming)
• 20:00 – Animula Nook (Tencent)
• 20:30 – Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment (Koei Tecmo Games)
• 21:00 – QQQbeats!!! (TAITO)
• 21:30 – Yuukyuu Gensoukyoku Revival (TAITO)
• 21:55 – Ending

Source: https://www.gematsu.com/event/tokyo-game-show-2025

Note that the slot on 27th Sept doesn't specify the name of the game, meaning it is likely an unannounced title.
I'm guessing that the first one is for the reveal and some other games as well (this one is 50 mins). while the second one will be for FH6 specifically and is for a whole hour.

For reference FH5 was unveiled at Xbox Games Showcase 2021 on 13th June 2021 with a 2 minute trailer followed by 7 minutes of gameplay. The next info dump was at the first Let's GO! livestream, nearly a month later, on 9th July which was about 33 minutes long.
The game got 10 dedicated bi-monthly Let's GO! livestreams till the games launch on November 9th.

Don't forget those timeslots have to be divided in half because of having to fitting in 53 separate mentions of
"Available Day One On GamePass" on the FH6 trailer. (Slight exaggeration but at 5 seconds each, they take up a LOT of time at these reveals!)

Blame it on the K-Pop Demon Hunters, but that YouTube placeholder image immediately made me think of this:

I love this game just reached player level 176 I'm competing all the side story things.

One thing I stopped caring about money since I mostly only drive my Beloved Enzo anyway which now sits at over 8K miles Funny enough it says I driven it for 125 Hours and I have only played the game for like 35 hours?

Favorite thing is to have my Enzo setup for off-road its so wrong but so right.

That's the thing. Enjoy FH5 however you like! No invitation required...

The hours driven will be in game hours bud. Glad you're loving the game and as Nacho said you can enjoy the cars and game however you want.

Saw on reddit that Forza is having a 50% off sale under the Tokyo Games Show Sale:

Tokyo Game Show Sale | Xbox

Sorry about the blown up image. Its because of HDR.

Wow. 60% off if you get both Motorsport and FH5. Nice.

 

[egl92]

The most notable thing about these Tokyo Games Show Sale is that Forza is the only non-Japanese game on sale.

A nod to FH6 location?

 

[Nacho Libre]

Well, it seems this RaptureTM business seems to have fizzled, so we will have a TGS tomorrow!

 

[UKMikey]

The end times won't start until at least after GTA VI is released. That's a definite sign of the apocalypse.

 

[Edax 76]

I've missed something somewhere haven't I? How on earth did I miss The Rapture? Even if I didn't see the fire and brimstone falling from the sky surely I'd have heard the trumpets?

Oh well I guess this proves Mrs Edax76's point, I really am inattentive and don't listen to anything.

 

[Fezzik]

It was apparently a US-only Rapture.

I'm hoping that FH6 is on PS5 at launch. The wait for a cheap Series S goes on, £300 is still a bit much for a 2nd console (I know it could be worse, I just saw the latest hike to the US price ).

Don't worry. Rapture announcements are like buses. There'll be another one along in a minute.

Ah USA only. Wonder what the tariffs were on all that Brimstone?

There was one old trumpet blaring about in NY... other than that, major disappointment. I've heard rumors that The Apocalypse was cancelled by Microsoft after a very long development hell.

 

[nukleabomb]

This is floating around on reddit


Seems to be real. Someone screwed up the ad timings

theres a german version too:

Seems like someone jumped the gun lol

 

[LumpiestFish]

I'm not usually in a similar timezone to where announcements are being made from, usually in Australia we wake up to news coming from the US or UK and its great, waiting around all day is hard, lol.

 

[GTboyz]

Small teaser reel from the instagram ad.

 

[nukleabomb]

i certainly hope we get a longer trailer than that

Yeah this just looks like the teaser IMO TGS reveal should be longer (at least I hope)

 

[Fezzik]

I wonder if they'll announce a Switch 2 version. That console is ridiculously successful in Japan, already tripled the Xbox Series lifetime sales.

 

[KILLER2JZ]

I highly doubt it. probably Xbox maybe ps5 at first I really can't see horizon ever coming to switch but I'd be happy to be provided wrong.

 

[SimTourist]

Kind of the obvious choice, people have been asking for it for years. Let's hope they upgraded the engine to support city environments and it's not just Fujimi Kaido times 10.

 

[nickf1gr]

I can't wait for the PS5 version announcement!!!!
