@@DirtyApples88 right. I hear alot of ppl saying it's only a car game. Hell, deathloop follows the same formula as any other game like it.

I don’t know how much complex mathematics and programming is involved when developing racing games like this, especially open world racers where terrain and weather and physics and how they interact with each other and change from vehicle to vehicle all just makes my head spin
Agreed. When you see this game running, its all the small details that are fully developed rather than glossed over that blows me away. That and the level of polish evident in those tiny details, as well as the rest of the game, makes me certain that we are seeing a game developer at the very top of their...ahem...game.

I'm always down for a new Horizon game, just give a beautiful new location and a great soundtrack and I'm set. The core gameplay is so highly polished and refined it's hard to get any better
Same, I'm a Sony only guy ever since I got a PS4 and I just can't make myself play games on more than one system for some reason. I bought some of the previous Forza games on PC and I just never really played them. I'd play the crap out of this on my PS5 and g29 though.
@@thomashughes4326 right, thats why nobody talks about them. Forza Horizon 4 had more than 24 million players plus. No other racing game in history had that many players. Player counts speaks more than someones single opinion.
For anyone looking for a quick review, this game is absolutely worth trying with game pass or buying for $60. The only issues I have with the game are servers, which is to be expected judging from the fact that the game is only 1 week old. Aside from that, amazing graphics, good in game music, cool cars, good car sounds, customization, etc… 9.5/10 for now, 10/10 is the servers were a little better!
My first forza game was 3 and I just liked it. Then 4 came out after a few months and somehow I just didn't like it that much. The cars did sound worse and the map was just not that pleasant to my eye. This game looks so good with a variety of terrains, a long highway, way better engine sounds...I instantly bought premium edition and I never did that with other games since now. I also have to mention that I am a FPS fan but this game must be played by everyone.
@@SwordnScale I have a fairly decent gaming PC that can run it fine. I just don't play games on it. lol The real issue is I love collecting trophies, and in my head when I'm playing a PC or a switch game, I'm wasting valuable trophy time. (I know it's stupid, but it is what it is...)
I was driving and there is no difference do you drive on road or of road but graphics is interesting, next big race will exploit this real picture in game so it will be target to many developers
Is this game still worth it if you don’t like to play with other people and don’t like online? I can’t stand meeting random people in these games or seeing leaderboard comparisons for times and such.
What's the point of a racing game when multiplayer sucks? Can't choose car classes , no leaderboards, long waiting times, no voting for car class or track, can't even change assists when lobby changes from A class to S2 class. Going back to Wreckfest.
Pretty much. Graphics are slightly better and there a "few" new customization (and I really mean a FEW) options but other than some new multi-player modes, it really is just Forza Horizon 4 in Mexico. I'm not sure how this isn't getting brought up more. But yeah, it's not so much for car enthusiasts but more so for people who enjoy driving/raving games.
50% larger map, improved handling physics on and off road, greater sensation of speed, much better wheel support, improved career options, robust event editor, much improved audio. Improved smoke, weather is much more realistic. Can see storm clouds forming, rain drops start falling eventually lightning striking the ground. Seasons are no longer map wide,each season has different weather in different locations across the map depending on elevation and location for example being close to the coast. Yep nothing but a map 🙄 if you're really into racing you'd realize perfecting the different corners in different cars is amazing. A whole new, larger map is a big deal in a racing game.
I'm done with Woke Incompetent Sony and GT7 aka FIA sanctioned GT Academy 7, this already convinced me to switch to Xbox Series X and buying Forza Horizon 5 (can't wait for Forza Motorsport).
You guys don't need to bother with the 2nd half of the sentence cause that's my personal decision, I'm done with Woke Incompetent Sony and that's for sure.
These games really make me mad that I just have no fun playing them. They seem so damn good, but I just cannot get into racing games, even arcade ones like the horizon series.

Ah.. I find this really tricky. I'm really happy the game succeeded, but I've heard rumours that the crunch culture @ Playground is awful. Part of me was hoping this game would bomb as a lesson for the Xbox & studio heads. Sadly, milking employees of their blood, sweat and tears has once again produced a top class product.... And so the cycle continues....
Wow you're super duper salty dude. You hoped it bombed? You hoped it bombed because its exclusive. Naughty dog has crunch too! Bet you hoped they bombed too huh? Yeah right you Sony degenerate.
It's so hard to get most to play this for any period of time, it looks great plays great but it's kinda souless, IDK yet ppl will play NFS, GT, and ForzaMotorsports Good or Bad, they try this for a few weeks and never touch it again...

Love game informers reviews over IGN
agreed!
This is the only Xbox exclusive that makes me envious of Xbox gamers at the moment. I hope GT7 delivers when it drops on PS5, though I doubt it will.
its pc so its not really exclusive. i guess only ps5 and nintendo have exclusives, and ps5 ones come after few years to pc also
@@zbigniewiksinski isnt gt7 leak on pc too?

10/10 from gaming bolt, 9.5 here, 9.0 IGN ...ACG full of praise. I'll continue to watch because the salt is already beginning to snow ha

great review guys! cant wait to play!
Thank you!
This isn't a racing game. It's a driving game. Mario Cart was a racing game. That Star Wars pod racer was a racing game. This is a game about driving.
Yes
Sense of speed is good... but can it beat Riders Republic in first person? Actually half-serious, despite the weird comparison.
I bought before I watched, and I do not regret it.
Biomes my arse no normal person in the world speaks like this.
