I would love to see this retro mod body kit for the Alfa Guilia added to the game. I think it looks truly beautiful.

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio gets retro redesign from coachbuilder

The Italian company ErreErre Fuoriserie introduces an intriguing design overhaul using the current Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio as a starting point.

I work in the automotive industry and a few weeks ago I bumped into the PG sound recording team, they were recording sounds for a new car being added. I cant say what it is but I've driven the vehicle extensively and cant wait to try it in game.

So seeming that the vehicle has been leaked in a video on another thread, the vehicle I saw them recording was indeed the T.50

 

[RYAN]

Noooooo the T. 50 is going to be in Motorsport!

I've wanted that glorious Cossie V12 in FH5 since the start... Please don't leave FH5 out of this one PG/T10 😭

 

[Justuxful]

I’m sure we’ll get the T.50 in Mexico, road cars seem to be shared openly between FM and FH5 and vice versa.

Plus we’re bound to have a British Automotive update eventually, and the T.50 would be a perfect star car.

 

[Turboteg90]

It'll probably be dlc, there seems to be a thing where you pay for one car in one game then get it free in the other.

I felt the same way with the Czinger 21C. Part of me wants to see it in FM8 as well.

[Turboteg90]

Did they fix the Cayman's bumper??

 

[skazz]

Well the 4 new routes are decent. I got the impression that pretty much all of the roads used (with a couple of minor exceptions) were previously unused, and I like that all 4 of them were in the jungle or woodland, rather than in the desert area.

I also tried the Trail Boss, which was a decent drive offroad. The list of trucks in the game now is quite impressive, when you just have a scroll through them all.

 

[Edax 76]

I've tuned up the Econoline Van and put AWD on it. It's great fun, it slides beautifully. It only goes to 160 mph roughly but it's all you need. Instantly one of my new favourite vehicles.

 

[Mae Borowski]

Did they fix the Cayman's bumper??

If you mean the missing parts on the GT4 RS, then no. But, they fixed the yellow outline on the wheels when painted

 

[Turboteg90]

That’s a shame.

That Deberti van is nuts!

 

[Nacho Libre]

Ah the joys of PC gaming... the update today apparently broke my game... some "error unsupported 16-bit app" or whatever... I will install the 140 GB behemoth again... (I may have noticed something happening with my antivirus program, so It's deactivated for the moment, however I've had no problem will all the other games I've installed).

Points to EA WRC stutter and winces... I hope they can release it in better condition (if it wasn't for the stutter, the rest of WRC is great though) .

Mmm... let it be a Project Gotham type game!

Let it please work properly on release unlike the broken mess of FM23 which has wiped a whole series progress in the career and crashed on me in multiplayer tonight AGAIN at 1AM (you can't blame the number of users for that at 1AM!).


At least FH5 works fine when I can access Cloud (and GT7 works fine and ironically is the easiest game for me to access and least buggy option at the moment with plenty in the new weekly races and content to occupy me). I REALLY didnt expect to be back on GT7 5 weeks into FM23's lifetime.

I'm looking forward to the 8 new FH5 cars and will buy the new DLC at some point especially for the 60s truck (I wish it was a stock version though). I see a lot of those trucks when rewatching my dvds of The Invaders/The Fugitive/Original Hawaii 5-0 so am excited to drive one.

I am not happy though about the microtransactions (call them Autoshow vouchers if you want but they're still MTX and I'm sure that's a broken promise by PG/Microsoft because they said there wouldn't be any MTX in FH5...

 

[Populuxe]

I’d rather have a stock Econoline, but what are ya gonna do?

A generic if quick-ish truck.

Not bad looking.

I like it.

 

[inCloud]

there wouldn't be any MTX in FH5

Its loaded with DLC , already. IDK how ability to buy cars with MTX and in-game money broke game more than paywall content.

Project Gotham type game

There are Grid Legends and everyone skip poor thing. I, personally, prefer reborn of Blur. It was best arcade racing game of generation.

 

[UKMikey]

Blur always seemed to me like Mario Kart for people who were too ashamed to play with cartoon cars. Enough people skipped it to end Bizarre's existence as an independent studio.

 

[Edax 76]

I can't comment on Blur as I've never played it. However, Project Gotham holds so many good memories for me. Game wise it does sail close to FH handling and skill point awarding but I would like to see it resurrected. They could even base it in Japan and keep people happy 😜.

 

[inCloud]

Mario Kart

And its most popular racing game right now.

I can't comment on Blur as I've never played it.

Hard to find now, but if you on PC its doable. Still looks gorgeous.

 

[UKMikey]

And its most popular racing game right now.

Exactly, so why play Blur?

No mate Xbox only. I'm such a luddite that PC's confuse the hell out of me, I've peaked operating this mobile in my hands lol. I'll have to check to see if it's on the backwards compatible (BC) list, if so there's sure to be a cheap copy out in the internet somewhere.

Mario Kart is great. I have a mini SNES and quite often fire it up for Mario Kart and F Zero.

Edit: Just checked and it's not BC unfortunately. I'll have to plug in the 360 this weekend and see what it's going for on the 360 Store.

 

[United6694]

Ahhh you crafty bugger

I saw it ages ago but was asked not to say anything. So best I could do was hint

 

[RolexGTP]

The Saleen S7 LM sounds great with its turbos spooling and all. The Silverado is surprisingly quick and takes offroading with ease I can see myself building this into a cross country machine. The Czinger is quick and nimble and sounds great, it closely compares to the hyuara R in my opinion. And the Deberti van is cool but I had to switch its engine to a twin turbo v8, the stock one sounds annyoing and just dosent fit its personality lol.

 

[The_Greaser]

MS chose to kill off their BC program not too long ago in 2021. Oh and if you plan on getting anything from the 360 Store, better hurry because Microsoft is shutting it down for good in July 2024.

Yeah I think they got as far as they could reasonably go with the BC program. I am slowly filling the hard drive on my 360 before next July.
