Forza Horizon 5 comes to PS5 this Spring

My feelings exactly. I'll just go 100% pc next gen if MS don't do something really interesting.

I think they would need to do something drastic like go with nvidia and have dlss etc to make me consider a next Xbox.

IMO there best bet is to just make another traditional box, see who sticks around, and continue with there multiplat strategy. The handheld as well of course. I would also proceed with the XboxOS they have going. Just spread yourself as much as possible basically.

If they do a windows console type handheld that runs steam and it's as good as whatever the rog ally 2 is then ill probs buy that.

Lots of competition in that space so I don't know how they will differentiate.

Interested to see if they bother.

A new console is not worth all the costs that come with it. If you look closely, they've been actively moving away from their consoles for a good while now.

MS are developing next-gen hardware. Phil has already confirmed that. We know for certain about handheld, and we have repeated rumors about another, high-end PC hybrid model.

They promote every device being an Xbox, and in a next move they would suddenly announce a dedicated next-gen console. Who would fall for that? Besides with MS going now all in, which is quite certain after yesterday, on multiplatform there is even less of a reason to buy a next-gen Xbox. Why would you?

There are a number of reasons. Some people are big fans of GP and would like that on next-gen hardware. Many Xbox owners have large digital libraries, and they want to access them on a next-gen box. Some people like the ecosystem and feel comfortable with it. Some dislike Sony/PS. Some prefer the controller or have friends on Xbox they want to stick with.

How well any next-gen Xbox sells is a different question, but MS will be putting out next-gen Xbox hardware. That's pretty clear.

You could also stick with Playstation and play those MS games there along with Sony's own output. Think about it, on PS5 you can play both Forza and GT very soon

Right - if you're a PS guy (as am I), there is little reason to buy an Xbox. But some current Xbox owners will stick with Xbox next generation.

Very different games that appeal to different peeps
So, you are essentially confirming that FH5 cannot(same as GT7), in any way, be considered the best racing game on PS5, as the two titles are too different to be compared and cater to completely distinct audiences.

Anyway, I’m curious to see if enough time and resources will be dedicated to optimizing the PS5 Pro version, as the game truly deserves it and is a visual masterpiece.

It is not even better than Banjo-Tooie (in Rare Collection)...
I finished Banjo-Tooie in November (I think), first time I’ve completed it since I was a teenager. Game has killed all of my desire to play a single player game since. I started Sekiro yesterday after 3 months of feeling dead inside. Second half of Tooie is an absolute drag and a bad game.

They straight up telling us the next Forza is in fact based in Japan?
Highly doubt it only because it seems too obvious of a home run. City streets, rural roads, touge, and wangan.

Unfortunately though modern Horizon isn’t nearly as good as 3/4.

5 gave us a better car list overall (more JDM stuff like Stagea etc) but is a step back in nearly every way versus 3/4.
 

JZX100 Chaser, Suzuki Cappuccino, Honda Euro R CL7, FC RX7, Mazda Eunos Cosmo, Nissan Stagea 260RS, Nissan Pulsar GTiR, EK Civic Type R, and so many more. I don’t want to choose.

That’s not even including the obvious classics like A80 Supra, NA NSX, R32/33/34, FD RX7.
 
I think them doing Japan next is likely but the tweet specifically says "in honour of our impending arrival on PS5" so I think it's just PS5 = Japan sales related.
My doubt I guess is more just that it’s so obvious of a choice combined with two other factors.

Japan is definitely held sacred to many both domestic and foreign so the amount of pressure to make it great is gonna be higher then a lot of other choices.

Also the fact that got some reason they chose Mexico of all places and I don’t mean any offense to any Mexican members or Mexico in general but I’ve been in the car scene since I got my license at 16 and deeply interested in it since I was like 7 in the late 90s(GT combined with TFAF really just catapulted me into a lifelong obsession with cars) and I’ve never really heard about Mexico being a hotbed of car culture. Obviously SoCal had a huge culture but I’ve never really heard any specifically about Mexico and yet they chose to set 5 in Mexico which I don’t really think gave any specific flavor in cars or scenery like they had with 2/3/4.

That being said I also thought Colorado was an odd choice with the original.

Europe made sense with great scenery and clear and obvious car history, Australia made sense with varied terrain/scenery and unique car culture as Australia has always had access to JDM classics and a deep history of unique home brands, and the UK brought a lot of fresh scenery combined with rich car culture both domestic and foreign.

Colorado just seemed like an odd choice for a US state, and Mexico was basically Australia 2.0 but without a clear and well known car culture.

Again no offense to Mexico at all, and if anything I’m sorry they got such a mediocre Horizon game.

Also Assassins Creed is a good example of my first point as Japan seemed like an obvious choice but they didn’t do it right and that game is all but guaranteed to bomb whether critically, financially, or just general customer sentiment.

That is the point. It is the worst platformer in that collection and it is still more compelling than obstacle course robot with cameos.

He's full of shit and is just in the acceptance stage.
Jeez…. All said is an Xbox game is gonna do better Playstation than actual Playstation games… but if it makes you feel better I’m hurting over this somehow … ok😅 👍🏿


You should be used to it by now. COD and Minecraft get more play time than any PS game.and Indiana jones is amazing… I can’t wait for yoh to get to play it. And when halo and gears come to PS you can finally admit that uncharted and last of us had shit multiplayer 🤷🏾‍♂️ 😅😅. I’m good over here bro….come join in on those good fames coming your way courtesy of Xbox…..shit…. If your lucky you can enjoy avowed on that shiny new PS5 pro….. should help you kill the time till Sony come up with some decent first party games, nuh true?

You want me to quote every post of yours in this thread? Why you keep using emoji? Did you just come off twitter after talking with your buddy colteastwood?
lol….. cool bro. Do whatever makes yoh happy, ok? I use emojis like you lit spam them GIFs. Make any cute comment you like. I don’t even know you bruh. I’d never reply to you…. You want attention tho! 😂

Been this way for months. Outside of people who make money off the attention and drama, almost no one cares. Xbox hasn’t had exclusives for like two generations. They want to act like this is earth shattering to Xbox users. Wake me up when they cancel hardware altogether and my only console options are Sony’s horrible user experience, or Nintendo.
Ay you know what’s funny? If I see a comment I disagree with I just keep it moving. They reply for a response. It’s just attention they are looking really. They wanna feel like Sonys win is their personal win in life. Weirdos, I tell ya! They worry about me putting emojis on the end of my post but not even preeing how they sound. I just picture them gloating in a bar about getting Xbox games on PS. They should d pathetic when instead rhay spud. Like a a mix of petty and pathetic. Trying to tell me I’m mad about them being able to play forza on PS….. good for MS. More money, innit! They sound nuts 😅

People are waiting for Forza Horizon set in Japan since FH3. It's very likely that we will finally get it, if it's not Japan, then maybe China or some other place from Asia. A paid car pack with Chinese was very popular so Microsoft definitely sees some potential there.

You
You must be joking. Lol
man….. I’m tired…. Never imagined so many of y’all would get triggered off one comment….

But let’s play along here…. GT is not even in the top 15 for player engagement on PS5…… I bet forza horizon sits firmly in that top ten with COD and minecraft though.


Console War BS aside. If we just talking about games. FH5 will be the one racing game that sits in top ten most ages PS games. And hi early I’m cool with it. More players…. Maybe we get back some of those good car painters that jumped to PS. And I get even fuller lobbys what am I supposed to be mad about here again? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I’d rather they give it a few more years before that. I’ve been playing Dorza games back to back, and while I get that you guys want more I’d like a hit if break. Let em work on fable for now. And they actually do a good job bringing in new cars and content. Just wait till you see etheriam idea if DLC expansions. If you never played a fox’s horizon game before you are in for a treat…… see you out on the road sometime…. Most likely ghosted and driving my finely tuned singer 911. Good look trying to catch it 😉👊🏿



But yeah Japan seem like the next location for the next forza horizon.

The series already had the longest break in its history and I assume there are more people like me getting bored of driving on the same Mexico map. Before that a new FH game always launched once every two years, so yeah, that could lead to fatigue. But almost 4 years (if it launches this fall)? That's more than enough.

Horizon Zero Dawn alone outsold the entire Forza franchise (all Horizon + Motorsport) and you believe it will do way better than Gran Turismo, one of Playstation's biggest franchises?

Doesn't even matter if we'd only look at PS5 exclusively, that's just an idiotic claim.

I'm not even triggered. It's not even worth taking seriously.😏

And yet those games are nowhere to be seen i the current list of top 20 PS games for player engagement. You can’t take YOURSELF, seriously. But whatever. You replied for the sake of validation and attention. You not like you really had anything to say In Response. You just want likes from the usual PS fanboy echo chamber.

I replied because you quoted me, just like now.

This will be the same nonsense as Sea of Thieves which needed 4 months to pass the 1M sales on PS5.

Besides, if GT7 won't stay in the top 20, what makes you think Forza will do better?

I'm too lazy to read through 15 pages, but has it been discussed whether or not this is going to drop at full price? I'd assume that we shouldn't expect to pay more than $30-40 given the age of this title.

Well you're wrong. Simple as.
 
Does this stupidity of gender is forced on the player or can the player skip that stupid shit?
It is three tabs on avatar customization and everything defaults to normal. You can make up your mind about whether it is crossing a line yourself. For me, I don't care anymore and having the lamely voiced avatars is a worse element of this installment.

What? MP games get more playtime than single player games? Since when?

I'm interested in this game. Not necessarily for PS5, for Xbox, doesn't matter. But I'm not sure if it'll be my thing. I've never loved racing games. The racing games I really got into were games where there was a sense of progression. It's why I liked the early Gran Turismo games. Building up my bankroll, buying cool cars. But the races themselves got boring to me.

I like the idea of a game where you can cruise around in, open world, do whatever. But I think that novelty would wear off fast for me if there wasn't something else to play for in the game. Whether it's progression or something that makes exploring worthwhile.
