Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Morbid65]

I wish the Merc had a hard top to put on it. Maybe it's because it has rather straight lines, but with its top off I always felt it looked like a car missing a roof rather than car that wasn't supposed to have one... But that's probably just me and I've never really been a fan of convertibles anyways, probably partially because I live in an area with lots of rain.

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

It is odd that they don't include the hard top as an option, especially as its the very thing that gives it the Pagoda nickname to begin with.

 

[Stang616]

I had the opposite problem as everyone else with the 906. The 3rd stage of Forzathon auto completed for me without ever having to drive to the Gran Caldera. Not that I'm complaining, just thought it was odd given that everyone else said it wasn't completing at all.

After all these hypercar shenanigans, finally something interesting to add to my garage! 😍
Welcome back my dear!

 

[sirjim73]

You are not thinking big enough. It'll be on the moon and achievements will be about jumping tens of miles.
The hill climbs to Olympus Mons will be fun though...

There's already a demo available

Bloody waste of perfectly good chocolate bars!!!!😡😡😡😡

Mmmm chocolate...

While we're recycling all the old jokes from the "Where will FH4 take place?" thread...

A good video but in my opinion the race just lacked any atmosphere 😜

Maybe, but there was a lot of space between opponents.

You'd be a lunar-tic to endorse this event.

 

[meganinja]

Here's something to think about maybe. With the addition of a few Chinese manufacturers in FH5 that we didn't have before and more to come from the look of things, are we all off to China in FH6?

I dont think if will be possible with TDUSC being in Hong Kong and the general political instability with USA vs China, specially if results of 2024 election in USA favor a anti-China stance politican

That said, i think that could be Singapore (that has a big Chinese population, 74% of population. also it has the biggest presence of Xbox in Southeast Asia), in fact would be BIG for franchise host a place in 1:1 scale in a realistic way and with lots of elevations and view spots/drift spots

Here are some drift/touge spots in Singapore

It seems have lots of roads for highway-type racing as well

Lets not forget about the Singapore GP there as well, likely the roads between could be used as well

The Chinese cars could be still there, ther apeeal continues since it have a big Chinese ethinic population in the region, not just in SG but in Malaysia and neibough countries too

Edit: FYI , The total area of Singapore is only 710 square meters, with a width from east to west of 42 km and from north to south 23 km.

How could I not? They get astronomical speeds.

It may have something to do with the source car. Keep in mind that car has been around since FM6.

Also @meganinja it's probably inadvisable to discuss politics, as it isn't allowed on the site IIRC. But Singapore could be ideal, if at all.

 

[UKMikey]

My biggest problem with Singapore as a Horizon venue is the lack of elevation changes. Second biggest is the uniform climate.

 

[meganinja]

I just mentioned lightly as it is relevant to the theme and it can be one of the reasons that the game wont be in certain regions, dont meant to go deeper in the in and outs of politics, if you noticed,i had mentioned it just veeeeeeeery lightly as possible, even ommiting names and stuffs besides of what is needed to be said about the theme

Also to be even more clearier, i wont mention nothing futhermore besides what i already said

My biggest problem with Singapore as a Horizon venue is the lack of elevation changes

it have quite elevations in Singapure, it isnt that flat, it have two small rangers in its center and elevation can reach well 150m over sea level, i think that they will be able to make various touge roads, probally even more realistic than make montain roads that end up taking you to the top in 2 minutes.

The climate can be trully a issue tho, since it is on a tropical region, unless they want imply that they have a snow machine or something like that (it woulld too horizon for Horizon but could happen)

I would prefer Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia than Singapore tbh.

 

[Edax 76]

Thailand would be good. Just the problem of the weather system 😥

 

[LumpiestFish]

Thailand would be fantastic. Surprisingly varied landscape between the north and the south. Some incredible mountain roads in the north, some unreal tropical vistas in the south, and a real cyberpunk-esque city in Bangkok.

Also has a truly unique a dedicated car culture too.

 

[UKMikey]

Plus, they could make your starter car a tuk tuk.

Seeing how Event Lab has advanced, and how the creators are doing more great stuff with the tools at hand, I would be perfectly happy if the future FH game abandones the convention of being located in a specific country and instead becomes a big fantasy map with everything we like, say Alpine roads, Saharan desert, Australian rainforest, a Tokyo-like city, and so on... And that this map would change and evolve over time with new features/regions/events.

Lynk & Co 05+ Crossover

I suppose I'll watch the stream but a crossover isn't really gonna drag me back to the game. The playlist really started feeling like a chore and I realized I wasn't enjoying doing it, so I took a break a few weeks back.

 

[GBalao888]

Looks like we have two new Lynk & Co vehicles?

I think both of them are Lynk & Co 05+

Any additions to the Sport Utility Heroes class are welcome, however it seems to only have 265hp. Not really going to challenge the rest of the class like that...

I think they’d have a hard time changing the formula too much. Forza Horizon dominates the AAA arcade racing genre to where The Crew copied it with Motorfest. Forza Motorsport also flopped hard.

welp I guess i'm not playing the game for another month lol.

New MG's and now Lynk & Co! Shaping up to be a fun update so far
