Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[skazz]

I personally don't like the W1 styling. It just feels too generic, especially the boring LED lights... The McLaren swish is completely gone and they also aren't using the 720/750S headlight design. It just looks dull.

Here are some non-camo photos:

The rear wing extending behind the car also feels more like a gimmick than a real requirement...

I'd assume the other car in that case would be a rally car, since Japan has rally heritage in its blood. But where would you get something like that? The only WRC car from Japan that's actually active in either Rally1 or Rally2 is the GR Yaris that we already have.

Wouldn't necessarily have to be a WRC car...

Okay, had to see if anyone pieced the covers together as a theme.

Sine a McLaren was already on one of the FH covers, probably could remove that brand from possibilities.

Considering we had back to back Lambos as cover cars for FH2 and FH3, I doubt that having the Senna for FH4 diminishes the chances of the W1 for FH6.

I still feel they will go with a Japanese car, as so far all locations with big manufacturers had a car representing one of them, so the LFR makes perfect sense.

Did you have to post all those FM covers and remind me that the franchise is dead

Not disagreeing with you. I’m removing the probability.

Don’t tell me Forza has its doom posters as well.

I've also been imagining the Toyota GT Concept... or Lexus LFR... or whatever it may actually be called as the potential cover car of FH6, should it be set in Japan.

Currently it's only been in camouflage, and the recent trend of cover cars in Forza (starting with Motorsport 5) are either cars yet to be revealed to the public or are revealed already and in pre-production.

Another candidate would be the Bugatti Tourbillon.

they wouldn't use tourbillon as csr2 has it. since we know forza will use pre-production cars as cover cars

Looking at this and catching a bit of a pattern.....Chevy is up next. The ZR1X.

They need something which attracts car enthusiasts, so stuff like off road racers or normal trucks won't work. Supercars or hypercars remain by far the most likely.

Are we sure previous cover cars were "first time used in a racing game" when they made the cover, or was CSR still first (for example with the Senna or the AMG One)?

Pretty sure that Forza always had exclusive cover cars. afaik centenario, ford gt, gt2rs, E-Ray, Senna, AMG One were all exclusive to forza for atleast a year

 

[McLaren]

I still retain it'll likely be the W1 because of their long-standing partnership with McLaren (deliveries start early next year; I assume FH6 will ship early next year as well if we're getting reveal this year), but generally, the brand has been good about securing up-coming supercars. Ford GT & the GT2 RS made their debuts alongside the games. McLaren chose to make the Senna's North American debut at E3 alongside Horizon 4. The AMG-One's production did come a few months after Horizon 5, but Mercedes attributed their partnership with Microsoft as to why it debuted in the game first.
