Digital Foundry impressions on Forza Horizon 5

I liked what they said about performance mode looking 'gamey' when they were side by side the performance mode just looked like the best mode to me. Guess I like my car games 'gamey'
Less than 2 weeks away!

I know what they meant. 30fps mode just has a fidelity and more genuine look to it that 60fps ends up looking more artificial, but that's fine. It's amazing regardless of the mode you'll play in. :D

That looks so incredible. Every time I watch Horizon videos it makes me wish I was good at and liked driving games. The world, art and graphics are just on a whole different level.
same here
i bought forza 3 on pc but barely touch it
i bought a momo racing long ago because of a friend i never really used and i finally sold it last week

I’ll leave it your imagination as to what “war” is going here.

Alex quiet blatantly downplayed PS4 first party titles for being “only 30 FPS” during their reaction to Future of Gaming event last year.
The future of gaming shouldn’t be 30fps. As long as a strong 60fps mode is included, DF won’t have an issue. If MS or Sony start delivering 30 fps only, they deserve all the grief they’ll get.

"next gen graphic" began with Demons Souls back in 2020.

just saying teresa giudice GIF



Also, reading the article, I find it hilarious that they mention how good the "30 fps" implementation is....

If this were a PS game... 30 fps in gran turismo... I have a feeling these guys would be saying very different stuff.

Imagine having next gen hardward and excuse a racer with 30 FPS WTF!!
Console warring? Console warring. Enjoy the hopefully incoming ban and grow up.

I thought it was pretty cool that the game pass app sent me a notification on my phone to tell me FH5 was installing yesterday. Installed on my series X and will also install on my gaming pc. Should look amazing @ UW 1440p VRR 120hz.

It's not just about racing tho. Have you ever went into car, just to feel the freedom? Because that's what Horizon does. And it's shame to be exclusive.

Also large part is obviously music, I know people, personally, who has their tracks inside the part 4 FHs. I knew few people in the team and yeah.

For me this is really big thing.

Graphics look fantastic on this one.

Pretty lame to STILL see people try and denigrate other games i.e. "this is the first true next gen game" in this thread. Get outta here with that crap. It's blatantly obvious what you're trying to do.

60 is obviously better, but it is not that big of a sin when you are dealing with an arcade racer.

There are shots of those mountain rocky areas that are near the volcano that are the first in game graphics that have some resemblance to the unreal engine 5 demo we saw. Yes, I know it doesn't look quite as good and it's not to that level of detail but it reminds me of it and seems to be inching towards that kind of detail and yes this I is a game launching in the first year of the series x life cycle.

Series S putting in work too. Breathtaking looking game, I can't imagine what it will look like natively in front of me. Full fat 4k at 30 or 60 fps!

Wowza horizon 5!

I really want to play this on my series X but I just can’t do 30fps, it looks so nice but I think I’ll play around with the PC settings to find a sweet spot.

Series consoles have a locked 60fps performance mode.

DF just seemed really impressed with the 30fps fidelity mode hence the long talk about it.

what impressions what gameplay ? they showing same old trailer scenes and telling how amazing this all looks. yes amazing , so what ?
just hope you dont picking games depends on those impressions. ..

This is the funniest shit I’ve read all day.

Sorry brah. It’s Forza Horizon. Everyone know where it’s going to land, quality wise. And if there’s any game you can accuse of not having enough media, it certainly not this game

says the fellow who’s on a video game forum instead of playing games :messenger_grinning:

This is Digital Foundry. Their sole purpose is to tell us how games look. Are you new to the internet?

Oh yeah I know, it’s just that the 30fps mode graphics look so nice. Wondering if I can turn all that on and lock 60 still.

I only remember Horizon games from last gen onwards (was it 3?), all of them have looked really, really good.
There is Playground games....and there is a rest of us. Playground games have people working for Hollywood, working for hospitals for people's well beings. It's quite a lot, I am currently on beer with Czech part of Playground. It's mostly people working with me on Kingdom Come: Deliverance. i want to make should out to every single Neogaf user.

You matter

Thank for all the admin team for making the best online community.


Sorry that I am not brave enough to reveal my face

I know exactly what you mean. I even find it more impressive in some ways because this is an actual complete game and open world.
 
"Those looking for further examples of scalability from Series S may emerge none the wiser because evidence from a couple of hours' play suggests that the only major difference between Series X and Series S comes down to resolution."

Nice. Good for Series S users. Game looks stunning.
This makes me smile. I'm glad to see the XSS performing exactly how MS described it. There is no reason for a system with the same CPU as the the other current generation consoles to take any hits outside of graphics. If developers are willing to work with the system it can get outstanding results. This is proof of that. I'm looking forward to seeing other games with similar results.

Cross gen done right. This and horizon forbidden West show what you can achieve with next Gen consoles even if they are held back by last gen consoles.
 
It don't look that different to FH4. I don't feel it.
I mean it looks good but not next gen good. And the fact there is 30fps quality mode and they are praising it, is weird.

With statements like this I'm always wondering how people are watching this. It already looks amazing on my PC monitors, but up on my LG CX!? It's fucking stunning and that's still youtube. The 30fps mode looks incredible and it runs at native 4K. Why wouldn't they be praising it? The motion blur quality in use makes the game look really good in motion even at 30fps and the density of the environments, the lighting, the effects like volumetrics, the cars, it all looks nuts. It also has a 60fps Native 4K mode also, which also looks incredible.
