Forza Horizon 5 - Mexico

[Amatsubu]

I also feel these games get boring pretty fast. The driving is decent and the maps are great but something's missing and the entire atmosphere is naff, especially in FH4.

FH3&4 were probably the most expensive games I've ever bought and I won't buy this one at launch for sure. I'd dig it more if it was a bit more grounded but this one doesn't seem much different, though the map looks great.

Its a lack of festival. In fh4 I loved the tutorial as it felt like the island was alive as it introduced you to characters and different challenges. You were driving in cool races with an announcer, Then after that it was basically do these slightly different races and just pretend a festival is still happening.

I honestly feel like horizon needs to be more linear game where they attach some sort of story to it that celebrates the festival vibe. Just having a hub and wrapping it around a location just doesn't do anything and collecting cars is dull.

I'd rather more story driven races, zip around the island for collectibles and maybe hidden cars and that's it. Like it never ends but I feel like the games should have some sort of ending to the festival.

Looks absolutely fantastic.

I must admit, a nice as it looks, and the availability of driving newer cars, It's essentially the same as FH4.

I've always bought the Forza games, I didn't like Motorsport 7 so barely played it, but have played FH4 a lot. Not sure FH5 is worth the coin.

I liked Forza 3 better than 4, the night and day and bad weather put me off. I dont want to play dark, depresing games.

I liked 4 mostly because it was set in the UK, 3 was OK but didn't have much long term playability, 5 just looks like 4 in a new location so I can't see me picking it up until it's cheap.

don't really fancy losing my cars to the cartel or having to start a new char cos they killed me, setting it in such a hell hole is an interesting decision though

 

[Digital X]

This looks insane. One of those Event races that Horizon has.

 

[McBain]

Looks incredible, hyped for release.

Feel scales sounds great.

"Mechanical trail scale" though? Not a clue.

Forza Horizon 5 PC requirements list GeForce RTX 3080 and Radeon RX 6800 XT under ideal spec

Am guessing that ideal spec will be for 4K? Am 1440P so hope am ok with a 3700X and 3070.

 

[Digital X]

Just on the mark with the Ideal Spec. No idea how my 5600X pairs up with the 10700K though. I haven't been Intel since the 3570.

Not too worried about spec requirements, the last two seem well optimised.

Should be fine. I'm running a 9900k at 5Ghz on all cores which is better than stock 10700k, at standard clocks, it's about the same. I'm running a Asus 3090 Strix OC so I'm hoping to play this maxed out at 3840x1600 with at least 80fps.
