As a Cadillac owner myself, I love this! Those are pretty rare too

If I’m not mistaken, the CTS wagon was the only station wagon Cadillac ever sold.

One of two; there was also the Europe-only BLS.

Happy New Year 2025!

Possibly FH6 this year? Since FH5 is starting to slow down in terms of content updates lately.

Happy New Year

it depends of various factors, firstly it will depend of GTA 6 date, industry wide people are waiting to see if Rockstar will keep the holiday 2025 date or will push for next year (2026)

Then that, unless we get early leaks like last time, we wont know anything about FH6 until showcase in June

The only positive is that more than likely FH5 will, at worst, keep reciving major updates until June, after it depends of various factors, even if this year is Forza franchise 25th anniversary

I do hate that GTA 6 is supposedly making publishers to consider avoiding releasing on the same date, as I'm not a fan of GTA games and I don't plan to ever play it, just as V and the rest.

Anyways, Playground Games is still working on Fable and that could be a 3rd or 4th quarter release (again, it may depend on GTA 6 release date), but if they announce anything this year, my prediction is a 2026 late in the year release for FH6.

I think we might see a reveal in June this year with a late 2025 release
 
It'll depend on what Midnight Muscle brings. If it's a full playlist with four new reward cars (which is likely since the Holiday Update is basically a full update that just brings two Playlists instead) then yeah June or beyond is looking more likely. If it's two reward cars, or less than four, then I'd consider plug-pulling very imminent indeed.

I do wonder if it will have some of the Aussie cars sprinkled in there, like the '91 VN that FM just got

Yes i assume they will focus in launch Fable first and then FH6, but i could be wrong on that as i once assumed FH5 would come out only after motorsport, so who knows?

Sadly gaming industry is a "didatorship" of the majority and no company want risk lose profits going agnaist a losing battle vs GTA, specially after how sucessful GTA V launch was
 
One new car, and you can't get the Backstage Pass in the first season without either online multiplayer or the DLCs (again).

Not sure I can be bothered writing even the new short-form article for this one.

Honestly, that's possible too! I didn't know FH3/4 had additional HDT cars in their live service until I started playing 4 and saw some of the additional Aussie cars in the Backstage Pass--if some of those return, that'd be pretty darn neat. Still standing by my American Modern Muscle focus though, "Midnight Muscle" doesn't really apply to Australian car culture the same way it does for the US.
 
Played fh5 now for a few weeks, on my new pc, and yes it looks pretty good, it really get to show when you move from Xbox one to a higher end pc,
Its not just the graphics, its also how much smoother the game runs to,
With the right cars some car models i would say is almost on par with gt7,
But its still a bit hit and miss, and i am hopefull at least some of them get fixed for fh6.

The sounds are decent, but in some cases they could be a lot better like they was all the way up to fh3,
However i enjoyed my time with the last couble of weeks,
Nice to see some exclusive cars being added to backstage,
I have missed out on a lot of them with being gone like 2 years.
 
Well, I don't want that Deberti thing, so I hope the devs enjoy their well-earned time off and I'll see Forza again after the next update.

At least try it out in the Rivals event. It's such a bizarre thing to drive....

I found it really pointy at slow speeds, but understeery at fast speeds. Yet the 4 rear wheels would spin up all too easily for massive oversteer powering out of corners. Quite unique.

I'm honestly very surprised they didn't just, like, do a Monthly Rivals drag strip event for it. I know it'd be four free points, but c'mon it's what it's meant for.
 
The Deberti thing seemed quicker to get than normal. The Trial was actually kinda fun because it was C-class, I wish they would do more with the lower classes as the racing is so much better. You will still have idiot teammates that ram of course, but for the rest of the team everyone has an easier time controlling their cars so the racing is much less clumsy.

What a relief it is to not have to do weekly nonsense for a while now, is gonna feel like a vacation.

It's not really meant for drag racing though, it's just meant to be a silly extreme truck that they had fun building.

Midnight??? Midnight Club!!! Muscle?? Muscle cars class.

Which Muscle Cars from the Midnight Club franchise do we not have (or have an updated version of)

It's hit and miss because a large number of car models are already two decades old.

Not that many really. It's mostly stuff like a bunch of their early '90's JDM and 2000's models which have been tweaked, had cockpits added, but not fully remodelled since early Forza games.

But even the biggest complainers only list 10-20 models which are really in need to replacement. And everything recent is very reasonable.
 
This happens with a lot of duplicates.

It's been happening for a while now. The same PI but different ratings for handling and off road.

I read somewhere a while ago that it was a change introduced with the rally adventure DLC.
 
Two (technically three) questions:

1) Is the Deberti C10 the only new car coming this month? I could've sworn there are/were supposed to be 2 cars for January, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it is if that is indeed the case.

2) I'm pretty sure I'm heavily misremembering this one, but wasn't there something about being able to choose which intro movie we see when booting up the game? Was that in this update or is that a future update?
