There is comfort in the knowledge that Forza Horizon 5’s fantastic critical reception is gunning to turn the tide, and if this monumental effort is enough to convince critics that racing games deserves a seat at the table, then mission accomplished.
#FORZA 5 GAME OF THE YEAR SERIES#
Unfortunately, despite Playground’s greatest efforts, the Forza Horizon series is still left out of most game of the year conversations, like many of its contemporaries. Horizon 3 then turned up with an unfathomably gorgeous Australian outback that I thought would be the utter zenith of the series, before Horizon 4 came along and sternly told me to hold its beer whilst showcasing rich historical castles, classy vintage cottages, and all that bountifully British terrain. The second game doubled down on the first game’s success, giving us a taste of the finely cropped vineyards of southern Europe. The first game broke the morbidly confined boundaries of the Motorsport series for a more untamed and liberating experience, which was like going from the uniformed conformity of secondary school to the wear-what-you-want liberties afforded by attending college and university. Playground Games has continually surprised me with the Forza Horizon series. However, I fret that many will cast the latest entry Forza Horizon 5 into the realm of irrelevance when it comes to game of the year awards simply because it’s a racing game. I crave the roar of a cluster of unruly four-wheeled leviathans as they disturb the peace by barrelling through verdant countryside, otherwise sloshy beachside kissed by the reddish hue of ephemeral sunsets and bustling cramped city streets. Now I do love the Forza Horizon games I appreciate every aspect of them, from the painfully detailed car models to the eye-meltingly gorgeous and sleek environments. Yes, the importance of visuals can’t be understated – which is arguably why the Forza Horizon series is so adored, because it’s big triple-A eye candy that happens to have cars and race events in it. Generally, over the years, I have witnessed this genre get backed into a corner, where the only kinds of racing games on offer are mundane and rote sims like the Gran Turismo series and Forza Motorsport, or they are arcade racers that have to be seismic to get noticed, with a few colourful kart racers on the side. Many great racing games contain such unintended pleasures. Watch the video above or hit the link below to your favorite podcast service. And, of course, they play Video Game 20 Questions. and Motorsport next year.Go try placing Minardi or Prost horizontally on the final straight of the Canadian Grand Prix and watch as the pack uncontrollably crash and careen into each other in a gleeful symphony of carnage – that is a joy to watch if you crave vehicular mayhem, trust me. This week your Omega Cops - Daemon Hatfield, Tina Amini, Sam Claiborn, and Justin Davis - are discussing IGNs Game of the Year AND the Daemie Awards. Game is joke but there is nothing else for the SeriesX, Thats all! Same effect used FH5 this year. Last year AC Valhalla showed up for SeriesX as "Nextgen" its the old engine running at their limits with boring empty world. No need for same City in FH5 but look at Guanajuato and FH5 struggles already with 5 NPC traffic cars :D
#FORZA 5 GAME OF THE YEAR WINDOWS#
In night mode, nearly all lighting comes from the millions of emissive building windows.No light sources were placed for the tens of thousands of street lights and headlights.The entire world is lit by only the sun, sky and emissive materials on meshes.Almost 10 million unique and duplicated assets were created to make the city.27,848 lamp posts on the street side only.There are 17,000 simulated traffic vehicles on the road that are destructible.There are 45,073 parked cars, of which 38,146 are drivable and destructible.There are 1,248 intersections in the city.There are 512 km of sidewalk in the city.The city is 4,138 km wide and 4.968 km long, slightly larger than the size of downtown Los Angeles.It's not an optimized Game its an Techdemo to showcase some of the new UnrealEngine 5 features but runs better. NextGen is the "The Matrix Awakens" Experience created by small team but it beats FH5 easy. It's "same" lame FH3 / FH4 with some small improvements and it runs on 30fps on the "NextGen Flagship Console"
