Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[GTboyz]

Kind of the obvious choice, people have been asking for it for years. Let's hope they upgraded the engine to support city environments and it's not just Fujimi Kaido times 10.

Hope they also support expressways and parking areas for convoys.

 

[THOMASBARNES]

it'd be a surprise/disappointment if it didn't come out on ps5, the main question is will it come out on xbox/ps5 at the same time or will xbox get it first and ps5 players have to wait a few months

Post's gone now, seems MS got a bit ahead of themselves

 

[space_wadet]

Nothing else was revealed during the livestream. Just showed the same trailer that was leaked.

Kinda disappointed that they showed only a teaser

What was that engine that revved from 0:45-0:47?

sounded like an A80 maybe

Horizon was always revealed a few months before launch, (spring/summer for autumn/winter release) so hopefully it'll be a bit earlier in the year this time. I'm not sure I have the patience for a full year of monthly updates about a specific feature that was built from the ground up like Motorsport did.

EDIT:
There's a page up.

"As you already know, Japan has been one of the most iconic and requested locations by the Forza Horizon community. We are so excited for you to experience it, and we can't wait to share more details on Forza Horizon 6 early next year. Stay tuned!"

Great...

Forza Horizon 6: Answering the Big Questions About That Japan Setting - Xbox Wire

Forza Horizon 6 is coming in 2026 - and it's set in Japan. We got the answers to some of our biggest questions after the reveal.

news.xbox.com

Important bits:

Tokyo as the main city:

"for instance, the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels DLC has helped us develop the elevated roads of Tokyo City in FH6."

"From the neon lights and towering buildings of Tokyo City – one of our most detailed and layered environments to date – to the serenity and natural beauty of Japan’s rural and mountain areas"

Real seasons are back:

"For Japan, seasonal changes have a dramatic impact on the landscape and playable world, but also hold a deeper cultural meaning for the country and its culture.”

As such, in Forza Horizon 6, seasonal changes aren’t just about changing how the game looks, but how it feels:

“The team has also been able to build a system where seasonal changes truly inform the world – how spring, summer, autumn, and winter subtly shift tone, activity, and sound"

We all have this thread followed, so we all jumped in here rather than searching for a new thread. </guilty>

PS5 release is confirmed, but it won't be a day one release.

First the track maker and here is my first track.

And the Drone Mode.

The drone is great for locating barn finds.

Hi team. Sorry to ask but I need six more likes on my tunes to pop this accolade. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out. Let me know if you do and I'll return the favour of course.

Thank you.

What’s the car and share code?

Absolutely any cars bud. Anything in my tunes will do.

Thank you.

Not exactly. The accolade is for having a tune with 100 likes. Which means you currently have one tune with 94 likes. Whichever one that is, that’s the one you want us to concentrate on.

Hi @Chikane_GTR bud. I don't think you can like a tune without using it. To like it the tune has to be on the car, then you go to choose the tune again and the option to like will be there. Thank you very much for trying though bud.

I raced your Los Jardine map earlier today. A good track, a nice mix of handling and power test.

You have to own the car to like the tune (although you can like it without applying it).

PS I was missing both of the Backstage Pass cars this week, so after weeks at a standstill, I've jumped this week from 846 to 848 cars !

Also, I am still getting 1,200 free FP each week, which I've never understood, but gladly accept!
