[Clart]

Just got it with 13 months live from my man.
£60!

 

[cafcross]

It is a lot. Monday is such a s**t day to release

Tuesday

 

[Pistachio]

Yeah that's even worse 😆

Just about to go back on this - had to move my X to a new home as it didn't like being wedged sideways under the TV.

Well if I can find a HDMI lead long enough to reach it's new home!!

Much different compared to 4?

Must admit if that hadn't been set in the UK I wouldn't have bought it so this isn't really on my radar.

Looks incredible, Driving physics feel a bit different as well compared to FH4


Sunk a lot of time into the previous just messing about. This shall tide me over til the next motorsport game comes out

 

[Clart]

Gets a 10/10 on ign

Yeah free roaming is great, the actual races never did much for me though really.

 

[Clart]

Strong opening sequence !

Anybody else noticing slow loading times in comparison to 4?

A little slower but not bad at all considering it's a bigger map etc, I'm on a Series X though

 

[Clart]

It’s slower on an X than fh4 I think.

anyone having problems accessing photos from the forza hub ?

 

[sburrell93]

Anyone playing it on PC yet? Downloaded today and it seems to be full of bugs. Car sounds keep dropping and stuttering when playing, the sound just doesn't work properly at all if you rev the car when doing tuning/upgrading or in forzavista, fell into an invisible hole in the middle of the road at one point, and it won't run full resolution (3440x1440p) without the edge of the screen flickering and going all pixelated.

Looks great when it works though 🤷‍♂️

 

[-Jamie-]

Anyone know what the drift tyres/diff actually do, same goes for the Rally/race diff

Like how you get the choice of race gearboxes as well, Not sure why you need 10 gears though


Can see me loosing a lot of hours to this, so good and the first Horizon game I've really wanted to play


Oh and the Taycan is f**king rapid [emoji1787]

 

[-Jamie-]

Oh and good to see a load of new wheels have been added. Tons of Work wheels to name some

 

[Clart]

I had a few hours on it today. Pretty impressive, not really had any bugs except for messages saying I am disconnected from something.

favourite car so far is the Taycan. Shame the photo upload isn’t working on the forza hub

 

[-Jamie-]

Can't get a proper upload so have a screenshot

 

[Chris V6 255]

I know that it’s set in Mexico but f**k me, they go on about family more than Dominic Toretto.

Been doing mostly off-road races in my new Defender through the jungle so far.

Love it!

1600hp Supra is a laugh

Put a load of hours into this since Friday. Loving it so far, getting the same disconnected message a few times not sure if it's a bug or my shite Internet 😂

The graphics are incredible but this is my 1st game on the series x so can't directly compare to FH4. Loving working through the stories and barn finds.
The taycan is ridiculous for high speed and drag races!

Yet to work out what all the drift tyres and diffs do, spent a good bit of time building cars up and can't really notice a difference.

I am really enjoying FH5.

If you are going to upgrade the car you will also need to tune it to get the most out of it. The tuning basically changes the handling and allows you to tweak he car to how you want it to handle.

Yeah its great so far.

Haha oh I know end up spending far too much time playing with the tunes!

 

[Clart]

I got 265 mph out of the taycan earlier

love the bac mono handles like a dream, so much fun

 

[Scrooge]

This is tempting me into upgrading the Xbox

Managed to get a series S console second hand on eBay yesterday for £185, the seller was 10 miles away and the console had only been used a few times. Downloaded the premium edition when I got home and played a few hours. There seem to be loads of series s consoles on eBay so click the auctions which are 'nearest to me' if you want to get yourself one quickly. The game is a lot of fun and a nice improvement on horizon 4.

Will be downloading this, never bothered with FH4 and haven't used my Xbox for months... Perfect excuse for staying in more over Winter!

Galley is working now

There's been no shortage of the Series S, you can get them in looooads of shops (you could get a new one from Amazon next day for 250 quid)

Series X on the other hand you're paying scalping prices or getting lucky when a shop gets stock

My mate works for Playground and has done since the original Horizon

Was wondering what the difference between the types of diff etc made. Here we are

 

[Rich-D]

Just seen a good article with videos comparing FH5 on various XBox models, the Series X, Series S, One X & One S, it seems that Playground has done an amazing job of making this look & play well on all generations, which is impressive.

The visual difference between the One S and the Series X on quality mode is significant, as you would expect, but it still looks good on the older consoles, which is handy as I've only got the One X and have this downloaded ready to go at midnight.

If anyone is interested...

Every console tested: can Xbox One really run Forza Horizon 5?

We called it an Xbox Series X masterpiece and that isn't hyperbole - Playground Games has delivered a phenomenal game a…

Another good video...

I've been trying to get an X for almost a year. Just can't find them in stock for sensible prices anywhere. :/

I was hoping there might be a FH5 special edition one.

Quite interesting that.

I'm still playing on an original Xbox One.

 

[Pistachio]

Downloading on Steam now. Apparently it was only available early on console anyway

 

[Greeny.]

Looking forward to playing this via game pass on PC for £1, perfect 👍 If enjoy it and think I’ll play it after BF 2042 will get it purchased in Feb when my game pass runs out. Never played a Forza game before but always thought they where a kids arcade game but hoping I’m wrong as I’ve heard really good things about this!

I think I just got lucky but I wanted one so I had something to do post operation. Managed to get one from very, bit annoying that you have to set up a credit account even if you want to pay by card but you just cancel straight away.

Just sign up to email blasts for stock checks. The independent have a daily feed for stock checks, went through there when I got one at retail just had to sit in a queue on very website for 2 hours!

Good to see the side by side comparisons, have you watched the other video where he talks through it all?

Glad to see that the older consoles are still supported.

I know a couple of people who have been trying for ages, but just miss out every time and you can guarantee its mostly fcuking scalpers out for profit.

I'm in no rush, my One X will do for now until the Series X becomes more readily available.
