Oooh fancyy
Will you be playing Forza Horizon 5 by buying the game or thru Xbox Game Pass?
Gamepass
I got the Premium addition to show my support to Playground games.
Gamepass + premium addon
Hell ya I’ll be playing it lol paid extra for the dlc and extra cars and to play early
GamePass, but via the premium add on bundle!!! Literally less than half the cost of buying the premium edition a la carte. Love the idea of getting extra value via GamePass ultimate. I’m a super car/hyper car fan, and knew Forza Horizon series could never let me down!!!
Dropping the first review.. I love it.
I’m definitely going to be playing Forza Horizon 5.
In exactly 4 hours from now, it will be available if you change your region to New Zealand.
@E-Tomic- oh you tryna go there 😂
@E-Tomic- pony
@E-Tomic- Its not spiderman MM which is a literal reskin of the main character
@Valhura77 lol the only difference between horizon 4 and 5 is a different map and a few new cars that is it
@E-Tomic- That is literaly the difference on every sports game like Fifa series, Pes series, Nhl series, NBA2K series
Thanks for the coverage Rand! 👌🏻💪🏻👍🏻
Right on Midnight PT. My first review. Nicely done Rand.
Nice review. Can’t wait to play on the 9th.
Pony dislikes inbound, no games for christman on the Paystation 5 oops i mean PC5, Big ooffff 😂😂😂
I think they’re doing fine with 13 PS5 exclusives since launch.
I have bought it, can’t wait for midnight
My 65 inch LG g1 arrives tomarow just in time
Also fable is in good hands with playground games
Seriously Rand. Your review is *exactly* what I wanted to know about the game. I don’t even play Forza anymore
Bought early acces bundled with gamepass I just couldn’t wait 😅
Heck yea
Hey Rand, on XSX what display typu You recommend 4k/60 or 40k/30/RTX?
There’s no RTX visuals on Forza Horizon 5
@Mog Yes, there is when You switch to Forzavista mode
@Jakub Kozłowski lmao photomode….
Crapgamer think it’s downgraded 🙈
his brain is downgrade
The gene-pool was downgraded when he entered it
I have game pass but I pre ordered the premium edition have to support my favorite racing franchise of all time! I pre ordered the Forza controller too can’t wait..
Love the diversity in Microsoft lineup.
Halo Infinite — FPS
Forza Horizon V — Racing
Psychonauts 2 — Platformer
Age of Empires IV — RTS
Microsoft Flight Simulator — Simulator
Yes Microsoft XBOX is killing it this generation.
Based on recent leaks, 2022 will be even better and probably their best year ever, and for gaming in general.
@Nuki They now have nearly 35 first party game dev team at 23 studios and have a tonne of games in development by 3rd parties, I think we will see at least 4 big AAA games and a few AA games from first party every year from now on, and based on the review scores of AOE, FS Psychonauts, Deathloop, and FH5 it seems they are addressing the quality issue that plagued some of the projects they out sourced last gen like Recore and Crackdown (Both games I thought were pretty solid)
Next year we will get Redfall, Starfield and Forza 8 so far and probably a few unannounced titles, we are overdue a Wolfenstein 3 and Gears 6
@Valhura77 I suspect there will be more than 4 AAA and at least another 2 big proper «next gen» showcases. Hellblade 2 will be one of them. I deal with photogrammetry on a daily basis, ninja theory pipeline is the most impressive I have seen. Their mo-cap is on a different level as well.
Starfield — rpg
Just seen COLTEASTWOOD video and now rand yessss
I just watched Colt Eastwood review of Forza Horizon 5 and he gave it a 9.5.
It’s looking amazing! Can’t wait for it to hit game pass!
I bought the most expensive version, as with bf, cod, and fc. Forza is my favorite driver. Played tons of hours on 3 and 4, also own those btw. Off all the releases this year, and the many i bought for the series X …. forza will be in my top 3 of best games this year of best games. I have no doubt.
I just watched Colt Eastwood review of Forza Horizon 5. He gave it a 9.5.
I will play it only on a XBOX Series X. That’s if I can find one to buy.
Is the game shrinkable on series x? 120gb is a lot.
My only »complaint» is that Forza doesnt have a »story mode»… i would LOVE for them to work on something like that for those who have never played the game, or those who want to »feel» something about the game (aside from amazing car sounds,world,graphics etc). Imo this game would’ve been perfect if they added a story mode into it… here’s my quick pitch:
boy/girl age 18-20+ got his/her drivers license and now is looking to buy his/her first car, he goes to a car »scrapyard» or action house were they sell cheap cars (you get 3 options to choose from), lets say you pick a random »cheap» not in best shape car… and now you drive around in it etc… later in the story you get invited to a car show/festival and there you get free hook up with some nice car parts (this inspires you to get into the car game/community), from there you keep doing challanges/races etc… and when you make enough you buy/upgrade your car or buy/sell a new one.
Anyway… this is not a perfect pitch or whatever… but its just » on the spot». i would LOVE if they gave us something like that… it would make the game »better» IMO. idk. Just feel like playing/doing the same stuff is kinda boring and want Forza to really spice things up. IMO
Well I am sure they have a lot of ideas if they want to keep releasing these games every 2 -3 years
Downloading it as we speak…..
Great review, Rand.
I bought the add-on bundle for $45 so the game will be ready for me to jump on it this Friday. 😤
Forza alone made me switch from PS4 to Xbox 💚
Damn. You played with zero friends on PS4? Oof
Map looks stupid (in pause)
Only thing I want to know is have they fixed online scoring system?
I am extremely excited to start playing it, but I’m also kind of anxious because of how much time I’ve already put in horizon 4.
I’m not entirely ready to start another chapter yet. But If you don’t start playing day one, you quickly lag behind everyone else in progression.
Didnt even know a racing game had a campaign
Never played a need for speed?
Great video Rand, can’t wait til the 9th
Sony fanboy here but Forza has always been an amazing Arcade racer, legit up there with Mario Kart and the old NFS titles. Fanboys on both PlayStation and Xbox please do NOT compare Forza and Gran Turismo, both are mechanically far apart from each other. Sim racers vs arcade racers is one of the dumbest debates ever, enjoy whatever makes you happy. That being said, this Forza title looks very beautiful and I’m very happy the Xbox Community finally got a first party title for this generation instead of mediocre 3rd party games or older titles.
why are you always behind coleastwood? you need a better car
Let’s get it!! 🔥
Be playing it on gamepass, if it is that good will probably buy a physical copy at some point.
The 2 things I don’t like about forza they punish you for the way you like to play and they don’t let you turn your car
Huh?
Back to the UK bashing! Unsubscribe!
Not a car person at all and yet I’ve been hooked on this franchise since FH3.
Great video, see you on the road 😀
I like to see the Forza Horizon franchise going a different way by including motorbikes and I would like to have more barn finds in these games when you have to get the vehicle back to no resources to build it up or not I wish they would go down the same route what you happens when you apply in the crew but you find the parts you take the parts back to garage you added to the car then you’ll see the car coming back into shape
I’m definitely buying this game
Historic moment for Xbox . It’s a generational game
What’s your opinion on the crappy monetization model… 😡
What monetization model?
Game of the year Rand?
Another massive W for Phil and Gamepass. This is the Xbox generation.
Sony should cancel GT7 to save face.
I’m actually more stoked for GT7 than Horizon 5 tbh. Most adults are into the professional racing simulators with real life tracks over arcade racers. Kinda why GT Sport still averages ~70,000+ daily players compared to Forza Horizon at ~7,000.
Battle royal? Eh I’ll pass on that mode but can’t wait to play this game
And so Microsoft begins…
Do you have to do all the tuning on cars in this game just like Horizon 4? I never could understand how to do that and cars would be so hard to control, so never enjoyed the game because of that.
Wait, how can Microsoft claim this is coming day one to Gamepass then give some people a week early?(i’m assuming to the people who bought the most expensive editions). Thats misleading as f*ck and screwing their Gamepass customers.
Btw I’m not a Gamepass subscriber so not being bitter either, I’m just observing from a distance…
Because Microsoft makes games that are ridden with microtransactions and pretty colors to suck more money out of their fan’s pockets.
@Mog The Gamepass model isn’t sustainable long term so i understand that they have to come up with inventive ways to keep making money. I see a lot of people have bought a premium pack in the comments which is a good idea. Taking away access for a week from the Gamepass community you’re trying to grow is a bit shady though imo. Even more when they’ve been constantly talking about “day one on Gamepass”
Ooooh, IGN gave Flight Sim a 10, and now Forza Horizon 5 gets a 10? We’re only 1 year in to this Gen lol.
Xbox One never even got a single first/second party 10/10 game.
That cloudy thunderstorm scene looked out cold. Dam I can’t wait to play this
