Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[-Fred-]

Given I saw a few HW cars from prior games and DLC in that trailer like the HW Mustang, Ford F-5 Dually and 2 JET Z, I suspect they’ll be Playlist rewards so everyone will have a chance at getting some more Hot Wheels cars even without the Expansion pack. 👍

Per the website announcement:

Some cars visible in our trailer and screenshots are limited-time rewards in the Series 9 Festival Playlist. Stay tuned for details on these reward cars in an upcoming blog post.

I'm not 100% sold on the new cars, but the EventLab tie-in is probably the greatest thing I can think of replayability wise.

Not bad. Looks like fun. I wonder what's the name of the song of the Hot Wheels trailer anyway.

The only cars I'm looking forward to are the Deora II and Brabham BT62.

Does anyone have suggestions on who gives good tunings each week? I think I read somewhere tht XIII is not doing it anymore?

Fun fact, they also used a Me First and The Gimme Gimmes cover for the original FH3 Hot Wheels expansion.

In addition to our game announcements today, we also launched a redesign of the Forza website (now simply Forza.net). We're starting to feature community members and contest winning photos and liveries directly on the site along community and official events, and all the latest videos. Check it out!

Thank you! I just feel that this song really feels like it comes from Burnout 3 vibes.

@Torni I've just played your Airfield Race 2.0. A vast improvement bud. I kept getting lost before lol. I raced it in my S1 899 Opel Manta. The car was too powerful for the track I think (or I was too poor a driver 😂😂😂). Going to try it again later in an A800 car, I think it will better suit the courses twists and turns.

A great track.

Class A or B is good for this race.

With the different individual Biome's we finally have a proper use for snow tyres!!!

 

[Apple Slipper]

As an Aussie, I'm quite excited for the Brabham BT62. Australia's first supercar in a while since the Joss JT1!

 

[Populuxe]

There’s a special livery that ties in to the UK Krispy Kreme promotion.

The song is the best part of the trailer imo. The part where it goes "wayyy up highhhh" while looking over the horizon (heh) into the distance reminded me of the Hot Wheels tracks I built as a kid, and how annoyed my parents would get because of it . This trailer honeslty made me feel like a little kid again for a short moment

If you've never heard them before, I'd definitely recommend giving them a go. They've put out a bunch of albums in the last 30 years or so (god I'm old ) and they're hilarious live. They even have a live album recorded at a Bar Mitzvah!

I like the 10 cars that come with the Hot Wheel expansion its better than the cars that were in both FH4 expansions.

 

[Komrad Syka]

Hmmm, if hw dlc as expansion 1, what's for expansion 2 then? Colorado? I mean isn't this year fh celebrates their 10 years anniversary?

The rumored codenames for FH5 DLC are;

• Project Ventura
• Project Nightfall/Nightlights

What that could mean is anything really. I'd bet the next expansion is something new, not a redux of something old. But who knows at this point. It's probably a while away anyway - I reckon December 2022 at the earliest.

 

[ALAN ULTIMATE]

I didn't play the last hot wheels expansion as much as I thought I would, but this one looks absolutely🔥🔥🔥

 

[Apple Slipper]

Fun Fact: The Brabham BT62 is the only car that was revealed for both Forza Horizon 5 and Forza Motorsport on the same day!

 

[PJTierney]

Fair enough, I trust you.
Puzzles me why someone would go through the trouble to fake stuff in the first place, Especially when the content is nothing special and kind of believable for the most part.

Clout, attention, trolling etc. Usual things people do to justify the hours they spend on social media.

I knew this car would have come to Forza someday, but on the same day for both titles? That is mega rare for any car that gets added to this franchise! Colour me surprised!

 

[TealYellowOwl]

I'm looking foward for all the new cars on July 19, especially the Mosler GT3. It's street legal cousin is a beast as a S2 powerbuild for sprint road races. Can't wait to see how well the GT3 will perform as a handling/all-around build.

Come Christmas time, I hope I can recreate this scene in the Hot Wheels expansion.

Looks like Velma lost her glasses, broke her ankle trying to find them, and was rescued by Johnny Quest - which somehow REALLY ticked off Santa!!!

You'd better be good.... for goodness' sake.

The 70's Distilled.

 

[FordGTGuy]

The fact that people can make custom tracks with the hotwheels track pieces makes this completely awesome.

 

[notsofast]

I was just a bit upset they were going hot wheels again, but this looks great so I'm fine with it.

Yeah Im in the same boat. Wasn't too impressed when I saw the leak but looks a lot more interesting so I'll get this. Really like the ten cars included so that helps too. Especially being an Aussie and seeing the Brabham in a game. Hopefully that sounds as good as it does in real life. I've been at Bathurst when it was doing demo laps and it was so loud you could pinpoint where the car was at any given point.

Names of (some)? the Biomes, And the nexus explains why it was showing in game as coming in Season 9

Santa is really the caretaker in disguise...

Giant Canyons sounds a lot like Nurse Gladys Emmanuel to me 🤔

I've been experiencing this annoying glitch on the PC version over the past few days, where it's impossible to navigate menus with controllers as a single button press on the D-pad or a nudge of the left stick is treated as at least 3/4 presses. Is anyone else suffering this?

You can't beat a good few minutes of the good nurse Gladys leaning out her window....😜😜
