That’s what happens when I only look at the pictures. :innocent:

Saw a video of wheel support not being dog shit in this one. Will still wait for trustworthy reviews, on hardware support, but there is at least hope!

I can’t imagine using a wheel in this game. With the amount of dodging, banging, slamming, spinning etc. I imagine it would be a wile ride.

Forza Horizon 4 was fan tastic rice with a gamepad. It is designed that way. Easily accessible, holds your hand. A beautiful looking game, that any dive bomber can play. They should keep that going, and fix the wheel support. And by fix, I would say, make it driveable. I’m not looking for force feedback that blows my mind, just enough to keep every car on the road. I think that would be more than enough to keep people happy.

Perfectly sensible. I completely get what you’re saying, apologies for my haphazard comment, of course I have no experience in playing this kind of game with a wheel and any tangible force-feedback.

What they need in this game:

  • triple screen support
  • proper wheel integration, at least with 1:1 rotations without a million visits to the settings
  • Mariachi band in the back seat

I’m actually starting to get a little anxious for FH5, I know it’s more Forza and it doesn’t revolutionise the genre but who cares. It’s one of the bestest mindless chill and play games, and just so enjoyable. I might have to remove MCC for this.

While not FH5 I found this rather interesting as an almost wrap-up to FH4 and sets the stage or tone nicely for FH5.

Hell yeah!!! Play now!

Have you tried setting your system clock forward?
:laughing:

Seriously though, the only way to play early is with a Premium Edition (R1600) or the Game Pass Premium Edition Add-On (R800). And then you’ll get to play on Friday. Otherwise, patience Padawan, patience…

Yeah, I’m also busy preloading. Between pausing the download to prioritise bandwidth and resuming in down times, it’s taking a while. But I’m in no rush, norrefok am I paying that just to play 4 days earlier.

I am however looking forward to it and considering taking a day off just to sit Foza and chill.
