Game Information

ORIGINAL POST

As soon as I saw the ad (Forza on PlayStation???....??, what?) bought the game within seconds. Thought I was buying Forza motorsport, didn't even realize 'horizon' was a thing and there was a difference. I love the Gran Turismo series (like maybe too much), played every one since I was a kid back in the 90s. And yeah I know, neither GT or Motorsport are true Sims, they're simcades, but they're structured that way. Learn the real world tracks, memorize brake points, shave tenths off your time, not seconds, and generally... think.. a bunch. Now, I loved midnight club back in the day, me and my friends spent literally hundreds of hours just messing around having fun, playing tag and whatnot, top speed highway runs, you know, whatever.. Burnout turned me off arcade racers for years, bought a couple and I just.. didn't really like it. Now on to Horizon 5. What a game, it's really more like a driving RPG. The racing can still be challenging, it for sure takes focus, but not thought, it's just ... Fun. I missed this feeling, I'm just free to go nuts in insanely powerful cars, exploration is not only allowed but encouraged, and rewarded! Some of the events are just over the top insane action movie stuff that is just so satisfying. And the RADIO! Love gt7 but that music dial got turned down to zero almost from the start. This is just a genuinely fun game. So glad I bought it thinking it was something else.

I've been thinking about it... Got the psvr2 when the price dropped a couple months ago. Gt7 is nuts in VR but that wheel would seal the deal. And it'd be great for this too. Glad to know it has wheel support.

It gets better with unlocking all content. All cars. Then making a convoy with friends and just flying across the map and doing events together!

Another ps newbie here, I love the game so far but I have a few questions.

I'm not sure if I and the other players I've played with are doing something terribly wrong but every time a convoy leader (both me and others) goes to "Horizon open" and joins a race playlist (like "open racing", "open drifting etc") only the convoy leader gets sent into the first race while the rest of the convoy has to sit in the free roam while the leader finishes the first race (which can take minutes) then for the second race, everyone shows up. Can you somehow make sure that everyone joins the playlist immediately?
Can you leave a horizon open playlist without breaking up the convoy?
As a convoy leader, can I start a race that forces everyone to use just one specific car? Like the donut car or bmw isetta or something? Is that possible somehow?
when doing adventures in coop, is it normal that the progress only saves for the convoy leader (even if he fails the adventure and the other players finish)?

I wish 3 years after the release coop would work perfectly but it just doesn't and that makes me sad :( Way to often when im in a convoy i can't tune my car with player tunes because i get a warning not connected to servers or i want to start a story with someone and i get the cutscene but my coop partner is still in loading screen after a while i get kicked out of the event and it starts for him. We startet hot wheels together but every event with stars we need to leave convoy and do the event alone with just sucks tbh

Like I said, there’s no bad horizon game, but by the time 5 came the fatigue for some of us was a bit real and more importantly the magic took a few hits everytime the scope got bigger and bigger.

In many ways it’s the same idea with the F&F franchise, the first move was about racing and a small town gang race, I’m assuming the last one was in outer space (don’t know I didn’t watch but you get my point)

Horizon 1 was this brilliant festival in Colorado that had this grounded story with likable basic characters and scope, the vibe and atmosphere aren’t something I have seen often since. it really felt like both the beginning and the end of an era. The color palette of that game was something else.

Horizon 2 was this moving festival were you all went from Italy to France and back and it still felt fairly believable, just a larger scale due to the success of the first horizon festival. The graphics and vibe are still stunning to this day. Story not as great as the first one but nonetheless I’d say is horizon 1’s equal. The barn finds in horizon 1 and 2 were a magical experience let me tell you.

3 was great for sure, but this was the beginning of scope just being a bit much in terms of a festival, it felt like the whole country was on a festival/holiday. And now you were the one organizing it so you’re choosing the cars for the races. A great game but again scope was a thing because games have to be bigger and better. 4 went all out with this and now horizon is a lifestyle with all 4 seasons.

Again, 3 and 4 are brilliant in their own right, but 1 and 2 were phenomenal, honestly worth hunting and Xbox one X if you can to play 1, 3 and 4 at 4k (2 sadly never got the love there). They were the system sellers for me.

FH5 has spoiled you in terms of features, but the first three games just have a great vibe to them. FH1 feels very much early 2010s in the best way possible. I personally have the most memories with 3, which also has my personal favorite map.

As someone who started the series with 3, played 4, then went back and played 1 and 2 while waiting for 5, I don't feel the same.

I feel like every game in the series was an improvement on the previous game, with the exception of 5 (I feel like 4 is the peak.)

In fact, I don't know if 1 should even be considered a Horizon game. Compared to the games that followed, it's more of a hybrid between Horizon and Motorsport. The lack of ability to freely explore the map (I know it's a 360-induced limitation) after playing later games in the series first really makes 1 pale in comparison. Especially since I don't have the nostalgia fuel that people who started the series with 1 have.

I will say that 2 was great, and really I could understand any argument for 2, 3, or 4 being the best in the series, but I think I'd rank them 4, 3, 2

RedditDidItRibbit · 3 months ago

You’re talking about it from a scope and presentation stand point I assume. 3, 4, and 5 were great but if you started with the journey from the beginning, it was never about extravaganza and scope. It was about this unforgettable summer trip that sticks with you forever.

3 and 4 felt like it started getting out of hand in terms of me believing in this holiday/festival. Also, story wise apart from the first 2 there’s barely a story. I don’t even remember a single character from 4 and I played it as recently as this month.

I think the best way I could put it is this, I would’ve loved to go to the festival in Colorado and the one in Italy/France. And while I would love to see the areas in the other games, the festival seemed like an event I’d glean from the distance while walking the quiet side streets instead.

Critic Reviews

Player 2 - 100/100

>Forza Horizon 5 is the first time that PlayStation owners can access the franchise, but you're entering at the very best time, at a point where the game has never been better.

PlayStation LifeStyle - 100/100

>Forza Horizon 5 was well worth the wait for PS5 owners, who are getting the incredible racing game in its most content-rich state yet. Filled with polish and a progression system that makes every gameplay session feel meaningful, this is one of the best racing games ever made and a must-own for fans. If you've been a PlayStation-exclusive gamer, then make sure to check out what you've been missing.

Power Unlimited - 96/100

>If you have even the slightest bit of love for racing, you have no choice but to play Forza Horizon 5. It's still a little weird that games like this are coming to the PS5, but ultimately it's a case of, 'don't ask how it's possible, just enjoy what it is.' Forza Horizon 5 is still the best open-world racer ever made.

Loot Level Chill - 95/100

>Forza Horizon 5 was already a masterpiece, but now players get to witness is greatness on PS5, with so much to do and so much to see.

GameReactor UK - 90/100

>Forza Horizon 5 is beautiful. It's varied, it's well put together, it's deeply rewarding and overflowing with content to engage with. It's not even as confusing as it has been. That, in my book, makes it one of the best games of the year, but if you are expecting even an ounce of creative reimagining of the core formula, you might feel different.

Gameblog - FR - 90/100

>King of the racing games, Forza Horizon 5 is still visually impressive years later and takes advantage from the additional power of the PS5 Pro to push its technical limits even further across all consoles. A must-have for the lovers of the genre that unfortunately comes with a high price.

Meristation - 90/100

>Forza Horizon 5 arrives on PS5 with the same energy as we saw four years ago in its original release.

Worth pLaying - 90/100

>Despite its age, Forza Horizon 5 is a fantastic open-world, arcade-style racing game. The car handling is superb, there's an overwhelming number of events and races, and the large number of secrets ensures that you'll spend a ton of time driving around and exploring every nook and cranny. The structure and flow are so good that the only game that could match this is Burnout Paradise, a remake of a PS3/Xbox 360 game. Even if your only exposure to this type of game is The Crew: Motorfest, you owe it to yourself to grab Forza Horizon 5, even if you're only a casual racing fan. At the moment, there's really nothing else like it out there.

“Speaking of the DualSense, Sony's PS5 controller does mark one of the key differences in game feel when switching over from Xbox to PS5. We wouldn't say this is the strongest use of the technology based on our admittedly limited playtime so far - but it does make a difference, especially when it comes to accelerating and braking. The adaptive triggers give you a better sense of how the car is performing overall, and you have a little more control, particularly when braking. The DualSense isn't game-changing for Forza Horizon 5, but it's a nice addition to the PS5 version of the game, and we'd really like to see something similar on Xbox soon.”

As someone who prefers arcade racers, I can recommend NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered. It’s on sale currently and received a 4k 60fps patch recently.

Also the Wreckfest devs are working on a PS5 version which could drop soonish, but no release date is known.

Hot pursuit was a fun game. They don’t seem to make many arcade racers on PlayStation anymore. That’s my favorite racing genera as well. I put literally hundreds and hundreds of hours into burnout paradise. My dream racing game would be if someone could make an arcade racer in the style of the live action Speed Racer movie. It doesn’t need to be called speed racer or anything but the racing and car combat in that movie was unbelievable cool. I’m sure it would be difficult to translate to a game but boy would I buy the hell out of it if someone tried to make it.

Changing the sensitivity on the sticks and triggers helps a fair bit. The default settings are good if you want fine control but it is hard to get to gripes with. Changing it to be less sensitive on the sticks and more so on the triggers can help.

A good rule of thumb is that if you are changing the direction of the wheels then you aren't on the throttle or the brakes. You can get away with fettling the throttle a little around turns but not enough to increase speed, only to keep traction.

Also, if you find yourself sliding wide or losing the back end you can correct it early by shifting down a gear. This pulls the front of the car in a bit and let's you regain control. Have to be careful because it can have the opposite effect and yank the back around even harder but you'll get the jist of when to use it fairly quick.

Lastly, speed isn't always king. Sweden and Finland are fast wide rallies where you can get away with gunning it (with enough skill) but Turkey, Japan, and Monte Carlo (as examples) require a slower more precise approach. One style of driving might work on one stage but wil see you wrapped around a tree or flying off a cliff on another.

There are other things to think about but there are the main ones to start with.

PS5 player here. Been playing for a week and this is the best racing game I’ve played all year (outside of GT7). The graphics are better than Motorfest, the handling feels better than Forza Horizon, the open world and traffic is better than NFS Unbound. I know the game still has its flaws but it feels like it gives racing game fans everything we want including having a generous economy, being able to fast travel from the beginning, instantly starting races from the map menu, diverse map, car customization, etc. Hope AAA studios take notes.

I think the game is a good example of what we get when studios focus on racing rather than worrying about storylines or adding hundreds of cars. I love Forza Horizon series but it’s becoming a car collecting game more than racing game. Motorfest felt like a step down from the Crew 2, which itself was a step down from the first. Need for Speed hasn’t been the same since Carbon. Being on Xbox I haven’t played GT since the GT3 on PS2 so I can’t comment on it.

Car sounds I would argue are done pretty good. Other games have excessive amounts of backfire and lack of distinction between engine types.

For the love of god, can we please get better racing games on the PS5?

Posted by Remic75 · in r/PS5 · 5 years ago

Microsoft dominated this aspect. Allowing backwards compatibility to play the classics like Midnight Club, Need for Speed Most Wanted & Hot Pursuit, Driver San Francisco, Test Drive Unlimited, and more. We definitely can not forget this current generation’s line of third party games as well as the Forza lineup (which became the selling point for me).

PlayStation 4? Eh. We had one Gran Turismo game which wasn’t a true Gran Turismo game (more of like an eSports version of GT). We had DriveClub which I played a decent amount but the servers shut down so I gave up on it. There’s the 3rd party games which... eh? The Crew 1 & 2 weren’t bad but it can get fairly repetitive. The Need for Speed franchises has one made one okay game this whole generation (which was Heat and they stopped supporting the game!) there’s the track racing games like DiRT, Assetto, and PCars but XB1 has them too so what’s the point on getting them for PS4?

So far, we have Gran Turismo 7 which is looking pretty solid but I wish they would add a bit more emphasis on open world racing games too.

You actually have a great line up.

GT Sport is frankly the best online racing game ever made. It's not perfect but going from the absolute chaos of previous online racing to the tight intense fights in GT Sport is a revelation. Plus we finally have strategy in longer races, juggling fuel and tyres vs pit stops.

Wreckfest is one of the best ever pick up and play arcade blasts, though the physics are very solid, not really arcade, but the nature of the action is. Its awesome.

DriveClub alongside Wreckfest above is an all time classic. Who cares how it started, it's amazing.

Then there is Dirt Rally 2.0, AC, ACC, PCars2 etc.

This topic is very bizarre as MS only has Horizon 4, which is amazing. But apart from that they have nothing over PS4.

True. I forgot most people don't have wheels and kinda forgot what sub I was on lol.

I haven't played ACC on a controller but GT7 and Wreckfest are pretty good on it

Great classic arcade style racer. I loved Top Gear so this was basically a remake of that

Gran Turismo 7. My main complaint after spending around 300hrs is that there isn't more content.

My brother bought his PS5 purely to play GT7, he's glad he did.

My wife and I have around 100 hours in it, she gets more licenses than I can 😎

GT7 is the greatest sim racer out there right now, but honestly I’m still going to Wipeout Omega for my racing fix. The servers are dead but for some descent arcade/combat it’s my fav.

GT7 in VR is single handedly the best experience you can have with a Sim racer, having the dash reflect onto the windscreen the mirrors relative to where your head is positioned, the blinding light of the sun glaring off the cars, the overall graphics and the fact that when you put on the headset it will instantly switch to VR and will switch back to flatscreen when taken off without restarting tops it off

Wasnt driveclub delisted? If i find a solid copy, does the online still function or were the servers shut down?

Servers got shut down a couple of years ago because the studio was closed by Sony.

Just a heads up for those who need it, you need PS+ to play

Might be because I only played single player. Also I might have had an easier time with missions, circuit experiences and license tests due to having a wheel

GT7. It’s basically an instant ps5 classic.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered 2020 on PS plus is a top tier racing game for me. It has better graphics, controls are not too complicated but still fun, plenty of supercars, drifting, you can choose to be a cop, many devices to slow down or bust enemy cars, night races are gorgeous. 9.5/10

Please suggest me a RACING game

Posted by 69_Lone_wolf · in r/playstation · 2 years ago

At the start of 2023 I bought ps5... and all I'm playing is the Open World Games... and I want to switch to The Racing Game... (The last one i played was NFS: Most Wanted on the Pc) and that was a long long time ago... But I guess I'm ready for some Racing Games... Do suggestions me one....

Edit: I don't have PS subscribtion of any type... So I'd actually love if the game is single player and offline... (And also the trophies are offline)

Thankyou very much for your suggestions! :)
