We saw Forza Horizon 5: a new episode Muy Caliente? Our impressions!

It must be said that his predecessor had been a sacred cardboard with the Cape of 12 million players overwhelmed in August 2019, while his Steam version released last March was a real success by squatting the top of the charts for several weeks in a row. This is to say if the Playground Games studio had the pressure when it had to conceive the fifth component.

Although we could not take the game in your hands, we still had a pretty gameplay video, whose start makes the link between Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Horizon. AREÉLÉ OF THE TITLE From Superstar Forza Horizon Festival British, the player will go to Mexico where the new Horizon Festival takes place, in order to face the Tauliers of the other countries, and the most promising local pilots. The demo begins with the release of a Ford Broncel Banlands 2021 of an Antonov's hold, while the camera installs us directly at the wheel, when the wheels touch the Gran Caldera top. Culminating point of Mexico, this volcano already offers us a sacred panorama, with a still well smoking crater, the glowing lava, and snowy slopes, since we are in the middle of winter. This point of view also allows us to discover that the game offers a quite incredible display distance. Launched at full ball on a slope, the panorama changes quickly.

The snow gives way to a much more mineral setting, while we arrive at the heart of the Desert of Lower California, dry and arid. The all-terrain at Ford seems at home, and we can rinse the eye on the pretty work done by the suspensions that work intensely. Since we talked about snow, be aware that the seasons system inaugurated in FH4 will be back, with a weekly rotation between the seasons. Nevertheless, we are in Mexico, which means that less than being at altitude, we will not see a rug of snow cover the entirely of the country in winter. That said, the developers promised us of big differences with regard to the water level, with drying lakes that fill up, or rivers whose level will vary widely.

The 4 Seasons

The seasons will also bring a nice novelty with the presence of hyper impressive storms. The one we could see was held in a valley, and had little impact on the piloting aside from the loss of visibility, but again, we promise ours that in function of the regions, these phenomena will be able to Create debris, and bring water to the track, especially in tropical regions. Know that storms will be purely random (although very frequent in autumn, and much rarer in summer) in free-roam mode, while they will be scriptedly present at specific events. A second parachute puts us driving a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2020, this time on a road, and in a much greener environment.

The car evolves in beautiful valleys that offer beautiful decorations, and again, a crazy display distance. We can see a storm in distance in the distance, before the road plunges us into the heart of Maelström. Know that if the decorations have gained in loyalty, it will also be the case of animals and their behavior. It is finished quite stupid sheep of FH4, now, the animal IA has been deeply reviewed in FH5. Indeed, Mexico is gritting wild dogs, and these will benefit from a behavior more true than nature. Thus, while rolling like a roller, or driving a particularly noisy car, the fauna will take his legs to his neck. On the other hand, while rolling like a grandmother, and taking advantage of a silent vehicle, it will be possible to approach these doggies very closely.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

The third parachute takes us to the core of the Serpa jungle, driving a mythical Porsche 911 type 964 Desert Flyer. Jungle plunged, we discover a new challenge that did not really short in the UK: blind driving. The vegetation is hyper dense, and the green hell makes the orientation particularly complicated. This is one of the reasons that pushed the developers from Playground Games to choose Mexico as a destination for Forza Horizon 5 . Indeed, the country offers a very wide variety of biomes, which makes it possible to pass the players from a beach to a mountain chain, after crossing a jungle and a historic city, without all this being unlikely. It has also been learned that COVID had finally little impacted the development of the game, since the yard began three years ago, and that the developers went to the country just before the epidemic. On-site woven contacts have also been able to eat playground pictures of specific items when the need made it feel. It is not only about visual, since two soundproofing teams are currently on site to record atmosphere noise.

Dynamic Aero

The last parachute of the video is the most impressive since it puts us at the wheel of the very exclusive Mercedes-Benz AMG-One. This is the famous Hypercar, developed in collaboration with the Messiah according to Traz: Lewis Hamilton. In addition to a futuristic look, this car has the particularity of embarking a motor block of F1 to the diminished power (history that it is not dead after 2000km). You guessed it, this bolide will cover it because of the game (alongside Bronco Bandlands), which means that the developers have brought special care. Active aerodynamics is seen at first glance, with a rear wing that changes angle depending on our conduct.

Better, Playground Games has also recreated Road and Track modes that actually exist in the car. If the Road setting is quite classic, when the knob is passed on the Preset Track, we can see the car lowering, many air intakes open, while the ailer is deploying the maximum. The class! Necessarily, with such a bolide, it will have serious skills behind a steering wheel to be able to get by, but if you ever are the kind of person who galley on a coast start or a niche, know that a new difficulty called Tourist will enter the game. The idea is here to propose a pretty walk, with a challenging almost non-existent, sometimes you had to play your little sister or your children.

We will finish this preview with two news, a good and a cheapest. The least good is that if the ray tracing will be part of it, it will only be used on the reflections of the car, on the trophies in our house, and at a lower ladder around the site of the Horizon Festival. What do you want, it is necessary that the game can also turn on Xbox Series S. The good news is that the game will be a little more directive, in part to avoid the mass effect we could Having by opening the MAP of FH4, drowned under the activity icons, without knowing what it is appropriate to participate. Do not panic if you are a veteran of the series, because the developers assure us that freedom will be identical, and that the game will only suggest activities in a subtle way (not like Navi in ​​Ocarina of Time what).
