It doesn’t look like Forza rewards is going to be fixed or supported with FH5

It will be interesting to see how easy money is to come by. Horizon 3 and 4 along with Motorsport 6 just threw it at you, but I found Motorsport 7 was very stingy and the rewards really helped out.

Yeah, they’re scrapping it completely, aren’t they?

FH5 is way bigger than FH4

Looking good.

Holy moly. I should set my steering wheel up.

That really does look absolutely incredible.
Excited for this :toot:

I find a steering wheel is fun for just driving around, but not sure it's best for the proper racing stuff.

It's looking good, although for some reason I'm not a massive fan of the setting this time round. Could be I'll get used to it and it won't be a problem, but it's a nagging feeling at the back of my mind.

This video prompted me. I am now ready. What stands out from the clip is the level of detail.

Although it is flipping hard with the wheel. Looks incredible still though.

Forza Horizon 5 hands-on: a next-gen spectacle for Xbox Series consoles

I'm not sure I can even see a better quality image in the 'quality' mode. The sort of pop in thing is noticeable, but I imagine I'm going to put it on performance mode and just leave it there. I used to think 30fps was fine, but after FH4 I don't think I can go back.

Quality mode definitely looks more cinematic. There's something about the extra foliage and motion blur really adds to that sense of detail.

Performance mode definitely looks more "videogamey".

I'll try both and see how I feel.

Quality mode looks great for image, but 30FPS. Nah. I hate motion blur, gets turned off straight away with chromatic aberration and vignette/film grain.

60 FPS all the way.

£65 for Premium Edition download on Shopto. £85 on Amazon and Premium upgrade is £40 anyway to upgrade Gamepass one.

I had a dream last night that they announced the first expansion as Banjo-Kazooie themed. I have no idea how feasible or brilliant such would be, but I do know I want to see more crossover material make it into this game.

Viva Pinata would be a better fit.
