Woke up to see the network monitor all lit up, discovered Steam preloading is happening now. Now where did I put that temporal fast forward control...

[MagpieRacer]

I'm excited, shame I am working Friday, on the plus side I'm on an afternoon/evening shift so I will get a couple hours in the morning beforehand.

 

[KKHN]

There will be a GtPlanet club? I was joining the FH4 GTP Club years ago.

Well , Premium edition is a scam.
For +40$ you get 42 cars + vip + wp + 2 expansions.

In FH4 for +40$(ultimate) you get 49+7+10 cars + vip + 2 expansions.

Lets not forget, that 42 cars for FH4 at release is ~10% of car list and now its only 8%.

That‘s some serious nitpicking there… 🙄 Does it really matter if it’s a few cars more or less?

You could also argue that the cars in FH5 are worth more than in FH4 because they sound better and have more sandbox space to drive them in.

 

[Losco]

Planning to do the New Zealand trick on Thursday.

Hope it will work, I have a busy weekend and I'll not have much time to play.

 

[strela]

That‘s some serious nitpicking there…

And there's that small thing he omitted. While both Ultimate edition cost the same that is not the case for the base game. Actually I'm not so sure, but wasn't FH4 60€ while FH5 is 70€?
Anyway calling it a scam... How much should 2 expansion, car pass and vip cost? 2€? 8€? 19€? I'm so confused...

Both 60, afaik, its not PS title.

Its a scam because its less content for same money, mainly because they put FDP in 42 carpass cars. Its misleading on purpose.

He’s also omitted the 8 exclusive cars on top of the 42 for getting premium so it’s actually 50 additional in the premium, plus the 2 expansions.

And there’s bound to be some surprises along the way.

Thats what i am taking about, even dedicated fans dont what they pay for

Well FH5 standard is 69,99€ on the Xbox store here in Europe. But I really can't remember the start price for FH4 standard. Maybe it was the same. Somehow I remember it being 59,99€. Anyway I'm not sure.

It's not misleading since you have all the details written for each edition and they could easily charge less money to keep the price under 100€ for both games as far as we know.

Seems strange, maybe some kind of tax added.

 

[strela]

You trying to convince me it's not 69,99€ here? You only prove my point. They can adjust the prices just to keep it under 100. Again where is the scam?

I don't try to convince you about anything, only saying its 60/80/100 in US, same as FH4 was.

 

[strela]

Now did you consider the fact that they could keep the prices lower in the US just for marketing purposes? Because prices are clearly different in different parts of the globe.

 

[Nacho Libre]

If you are interested, the base game costs $1,499.00 pesos in Mexico. That's about US$72, however,
it includes a local sales tax of 16%, which by law is now included in digital purchases, thus the game costs $1,292.00 pesos or about US$62.

 

[ShawnPhillips]

Screw hypercars, who wants to join me in D-Class highway runs?

Car must be D-Class, but still drivable as the runs will start at the North East end, loop around the the South West roundabout then return to the North East. Hit a traffic car or go off the road you lose.

Also, 1v1 races down the volcano road at night in B-Class Japanese cars.

 

[toastet]

Paid $72.00 or 62,16 € for the Premium from MS-Store Iceland. 2 days, 9 hours to go to go 🤩

 

[MagpieRacer]

Again, its not few, its 24.



Thats what i am taking about, even dedicated fans dont what they pay for

34 car pass, 8 drift car pack, 5 welcome pack cars and 3 bonus VIP cars.

By my maths that’s 50 cars in the premium edition.

It says in the description what you are paying for all you have to do is read it.
I've played Forza since FM1, I consider myself a dedicated player and have no issue with the Premium add-ons or the price.

If it bothers you that much and you think it's a scam, then don't buy it, but you'll have a hard time convincing people it is actually a scam.

FH4 also has VIP FE cars and preorder bonus cars, I don't think It should be counted as something meaningful.

 

[Maxrevv]

Just preloaded on Steam! About 95gigs. Can't wait.

 

[strela]

I don't think that is the case. FH5 Standard is 69,99€ here and the Ultimate is 99,99€. I know they said the prices will stay at 60$, they just forgot to add US only.
Sorry if I'm dragging this too far.. will stop now.

 

[Stang616]

FH5 has VIP FE cars as well. Now you're nitpicking again to fit your argument. Bonus cars are bonus cars, regardless of where they come from, in this case it FE cars for VIPs.

Either include it in your count or don't, but don't claim it's a scam just because it doesn't fit what you think should be included.

So I just ordered a sombrero to make the play experience more authentic.

I may be going overboard with this, but if any game is worth it, it’s FH5

Loved driving this car in The Crew

 

[Stang616]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned here before but does anyone else have the issue with consoles only showing the two expansions pre-installed with the Premium edition or Premium add-ons bundle, but PC shows all the content?

There's a few threads about it on the official forums, but I haven't seen a clear answer as to if that is correct.

@ManteoMax is there any insight into this?

Pretty sure those other items are simply added to your account and don't require separate downloads like the expansions.
