Been using that. Nice car, feels faster than the 160ish it was topping out at.There is a Ford Racing Puma in this game.
That's it. That's the post.

I owned 3 of the regular 1.7 litre Pumas (not at the same time). Yamaha engine, went like shit off a shovel and handled corners like a go-kart. Such a shame they stopped making them in 2001.
Also, that Steve McQueen advert for the Puma has never been bettered.
PS: It was also Top Gear Car of the year
Is it possible to make progress in this game without tuning your car? I’m at the very first competition in the campaign and I’m using the orange corvette that you get at the start of the game. No matter what I do, all the other cars zoom past me at the start of the race and I never even come close to their back mirror again. Am I doing something wrong? I’m new to Horizon.

All cars are competitive with cars in the same class. (S2, S1, A, B etc.)
I'm not really sure what you could be doing wrong that's causing you to end up at the back of the pack like that.
Are you using the drive line?

That feeling when you are racking up a massive skill chain and the drivatard in front of you slams his brakes forcing you to hit him and lose it.
‘The person behind is always the one responsible for any rear end collision.’
-Sincerely the guy who successfully brake-checked you.

Jesus this is going to be a 15-20mil user game isnt it, possibly even more.
Of course Gamepass means its sales wont match these numbers, and certain people will claim the game is a flop, or underperformed.

That’s insane.
673,000 players on day -4 buying either the most expensive version of the game or the add on bundle.
Still, the game has sold at the least like $30M-67M worth just from early access copies lols (using $45-100 as the range). That's crazy.

So the release date says yesterday Australia time (the 5th) but the game won’t launch and says I have to wait longer?

I’m loving the game but can’t stand that your driver talks. The silent driver worked in the other games. The voice acting is the biggest weakness in this game and the driver having full conversations just makes it worse.

It's only out for Ultimate Edition or Gamepass users who bought the Ultimate add on bundle. Tues for everyone else.

Whilst I still think the first game has by far the best progression system (certain cars for certain events, new events unlocking after each wristband tier, actually rewarding winning), this game has at least a much better progress system than 4, 2 and maybe 3’s as well. It’s not great but it’s something after the shambles that 4’s progress system was.

I posted that pic right after I took it. Just logged back in and it's at 690, 609 now. That almost an extra 20k in under an hour.
Yep. It’s just like my engine has 3 times less acceleration than the competition regardless of the car I pick. I tried with a Lamborghini that I got from the car pack and the result was the same.

What time is it?
I was just thinking that they should have every event location be two fold:
-Free for all
-Tied to a specific car/tuning setup.
That would allow both freedom and also encourage people to try out different vehicles.

This image stolen off some era user is insane.
Nice to know superfluous details like this still matter to some.
I am just having a blast playing the actual game and racing.

Not gonna lie I just spent half an hour in photo mode going around my car being impressed with the minor details and reflections.

any way you can add the Gaf club to the op so people can find it easier?The more the better so we can get the club higher up the leader boards and have a wide variety of drivatars to play with.

This game is something else man
And the most crazy part is that the photomode is just supersampling and adding bokeh, everything else is the same in game which is mindblowing (still wish there was ray tracing in game or photomode atleast). Here a example

Yea, sorry. Just so used to these being used as console war fodder. Forgot about the actual fun it is with photo mode.

Another night I have to force myself away from the game and get some sleep... I'm still in awe with the game and how the folks at Playground pulled it off, 60fps is so good and the game still looks stunning in performance mode on the XSX and I love the new improved engine sounds.
Anyway I did my first Goliath race around the map in a maxed S2 car and it took 12 minutes, it was such a rush and immersive experience, had Jason Nevin's remix of "It's Like That" on by Run DMC (Block Party chanel) and zooming in high speed around the map, it was heavenlike, or uh I hope heaven is like that.

Nope no double XP or double credits on the wheelspin.
Yeah, I had to choose my name but my wife got her name chosen for her since it was on their list apparently.
It was cool.

Don’t think it unlocks until release day. At least that’s what I read.

I played a bunch of FH4 but still definitely a car novice. Any recommendations or must-haves I should pick up from the Auto Show or auction in each class, particularly good value ones? Not a fan of drifting, but something well rounded that I could tune for street/dirt racing and just cruising around would be cool.

Buy whatever car suits your fancy, convert it to AWD auto tune it for whatever class it is..... win.
The Mitsubishi and the Hoonigan Escort are both really good for the free cars they give you at the beginning. They have carried me through a ton of races with no customizing.

Pretty much. Honestly I don’t know why they have the tuning modes when it really doesn’t matter much. Maybe in online play where you can get the .0001 second faster speed? But the auto finishes everything in the solo campaign with zero problems.

This.
Other Forza Horizon games the cars feel too easy to handle or master.
This one I can already tell will be a bit more challenging which is awesome.
Even the Supra you start with at the beginning takes a bit more concentration to handle.
bender
What time is it?
I'm about three or four hours in. For reference, here is my history with the game: FH3 -> FH -> FH2/F&F -> FH4
I consider myself a little burnt out on the series. FH3/FH are definitely my favorites. FH4 is my least favorite by a large margin. FH5 Impressions:
-This isn't a knock as I think all of the games are stunning but I can't say I'm blown away by the visuals. The density of objects in the world is certainly a boost over its' predecessors but it looks like another Forza Horizon which isn't a bad thing, considering the quality of visuals the series displays.
-The verticality of this map is locale is great and the few races I've done are already more memorable than anything in FH4's map which I'd call uninspired. Some of the Baja cross country events have you bombing down the side of a mountain in a suicidal manner which is equal parts white knuckle and brilliant.
-The showcase events really need to be retired at this point. I thought the intro was interesting with an airdrop of the Bronco but then it did it three more times followed up with a showcase event of motorcycles being airdropped out of the airplane you are racing. This gimmick just isn't interesting anymore.
-I really liked the adventure mission on the volcano. Hopefully there are more of these types of events.
-Progression needs an overhaul in the series but I suppose it doesn't help that I always buy the $100 version of this game. I mentioned it earlier in the thread but I wish they'd tie cars to events to force you out of your comfort zone and then let you do a free for all selection afterwards.
-The map seems less cluttered with events this time around. I'm sure this will change as you unlock new venues and expand them, but FH4 definitely gave me paralysis by analysis when looking at its' map.
-Cars seem to have more of an individual personality this time around. That Supra (Hoonigan?) Drift car is squirrely as hell.
-Wish this had custom soundtrack support.

Man! This pic. Right there! This is the moment!This game is something else man
If The Lastword was still around i would expect an essay pointing out his issues with the image and referencing it against the PS2 version of Driver as an example of photorealism.
Not missed.

Yeah I stumped for premium because I know I will end up buying it anyway or paying the same or more to get the expansions separately. Plus with the base game on gamepass it is still only $45.

I love Off Road vehicles and Cross Country events are my favorite and this is the car of my choice.
Was messing around with Photo Mode and thought this came out quite hot.
