You’ll hear the howling engine and screeching wheels of various types of cars, but you’ll also want to take a moment to listen to the DJs on the multiple radio stations, as they quite often have something to say about what you’ve been doing the authentic accents help to immerse you in the game a little more. The soundtrack of a game is often an overlooked part of what makes things tick, and it’s the same here. But then when you do slow down to enjoy the view, the draw distances are breathtaking, and leaping from the top of a mountain, it almost seems that you have time to ring your insurance company before you hit the ground below.
Do they still make forza horizon for xbox one series#
It helps that it looks sensational on Xbox Series X|S, with everything moving at such a speed. There is no other racing game that has ever allowed the player to have so much fun ‘just looking around’. There is seemingly no end to the terrains that FH5 brings to life: small Mexican towns go past in a blur as you scream down a coastline hugging highway, before taking to the jungle and swamp land, which gives way to a desert and an active volcano. That is, however, exactly what they’ve done with Forza Horizon 5.įorza Horizon 5 is set in Mexico, and from the opening sequence where various cars are parachuted into the world, across different biomes, the real star of the game apart from the cars, is the beautiful countryside. I mean, if your previous game was rubbish, then making a better one should be fairly straightforward, right? Well, imagine working at Playground Games and having to follow the brilliance of Forza Horizon 4. Now, in the world of game development, I imagine it’s pretty hard to follow a game as successful as the previous Horizon games. After the triumph of Forza Horizon 4, the difficult follow up is here in the form of Forza Horizon 5. GT sport is an e sports focused title got criticized for being what it is but FM7 and FH4 got higher scores because they playing it safe again, if PD did that it with GT Sport it would get roasted by critics saying "GT is getting old and complacent 7 out of 10"Īfter four Horizons they still not getting tired of the same old somehow.“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…”Īny game that allows me to start a review with a quote from a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is already off to a good start.
Why bother if you just do the same old stuff over and over keep getting 9s everytime?
You don't hear such condescending tone coming out of critics when they review anything Forza and it's been consistent as well even though Gran Turismo was always been the one that took more chances with new ideas. Then you wonder why PD didn't bother with a sequel or something similar to Forza Horizon probably just a Gran Turismo out of circuits. "It just GT4 with bikes" when the only thing in common was tracks and game engine. The first Horizon title was greatly received right off the bat too.Īnd what review people said about Tourist Trophy?
Through countless microscopes and Forza hasn't even Forza 7 got away by not having any pit stop animations just becuase "it's catered to broader audiences" excuse. If you read older reviews of both GT4 and FM which came out in the same year like one from Gamespot you can see clearly that they are easily impressed by what the newcomer do and that trend still continues to this day even though that newcomer has been around for over 15 years.
