During its latest Forza Monthly Stream, Playground Games presented some new in-engine footage from Forza Horizon 5. This new in-engine video showcases the game’s weather and lighting effects.
In Forza Horizon 5, players will explore the vibrant and ever-evolving open-world landscapes of Mexico with limitless, fun driving action in hundreds of the world’s greatest cars.

Additionally, Forza Horizon 5 will take advantage of photogrammetry. As such, players can expect highly detailed textures for most surfaces.
Moreover, the game will not officially support mods.

And this running on old, previous generation forza tech.
Just imagine Forza Horizon 6.

It looks great. Were there any videos showing what it looks like during game play?

It bugs me that I am not really into these kinds of racing games. My idea of fun racing is Mario Kart. I have a friend who loves this series and I've played it at his place a couple of times, but it just never grabbed me, but it looks like the landscapes will be great to explore.

This was a small time lapse from the last game which barely scratches the surface of how varied the sky can be. The tech in 4 will have improved greatly.

Dude needs to stop saying Fortsuh. It's Forza.

Thats how we pronounce it in the UK:

Similar to how it is in Italian:

Just show driving in rain with windshield wipers so we can compare to driveclub

Wah-lah!

I meant in conjunction with the weather stuff they were just showing above. Plus I think that video is PC and I don't do PC gaming because I'm lazy dammit! I want to see it on XSX. But it does look great.

 

[sendit]

Seeing this actually makes me excited to see the next Fable.

 

[quest]

Seeing this actually makes me excited to see the next Fable.

This is like a down-payment I can't wait to see the next-gen forza technology. Playground and turn 10 are going to crush it for forza Motorsport 8 and fable.

 

[Max_Po]

All FH games have looked amazing...

 

[l2ounD]

Damn the storm and dust storms look awesome. I wonder how the cockpit view looks and how much it improved

 

[Chiggs]

What a gorgeous engine. 4 months to go!

 

[iHaunter]

Weather is regional, that's what they said. What it sounds like to me is, too lazy to have dynamic weather. This means only one weather "Type" per location.

These devs are bottom tier. I don't believe this demo was not done on PC.

 

[Kenpachii]

Probably the best looking next gen game so far.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

I keep watching this whenever someone posts it. Hot damn it looks so good. I enjoyed tinkering FH4, gonna love investing in FH5.

 

[Neo_game]

The weather just add so much atmosphere and very important factor as far as visuals are concerned. But honestly this video is just a cutscene. We need gameplay to compare to the current games to see the improvements

 

[T0minator]

Probably the best looking next gen game so far.

Both Horizon 5 and Horizon Forbidden West will be the best looking games... soon.....just over the horizon....

 

[Yselacrey00]

Wow, an open world game with weather and lighting effects. Who would have though?

Tell that to Horizon Zero Down.

 

[Rickyiez]

Holy shit , this fooled my brain as photorealistic for a while there

 

[JerryinSoCal]

I am so sick of gaming companies showing "in engine" footage, it never looks as good in game. When they revealed the game first we got an "in engine" video then we got replay footage and then finally gameplay which on it's own looked good but didn't live up to either video before it. Once we saw actual game play the pop in and the other things that always happen in racing games showed up and brought the title back down to earth for me. It's still a fine looking game but it's also a 30fps racing game which is something you don't see often to begin with and it does have graphical issues like pop in etc.

Are you looking at it on a phone or something? it's clearly a game, the buildings all look fake as hell lol of course if you are being sarcastic than I apologize

 

[Utherellus]

Played with AI upscaling and deartifacting as stream quality was terrible.

This game look nuts.

Every other Horizon has ended up looking better than the footage they showed.

I have no reason to doubt them here until the final game is in my hands.

 

[Little Chicken]

Looks great. The wind and rain across the ground looks amazing.

Looks pretty, but it doesn’t scream next-gen. It’s just a prettier current gen game.

 

[Rickyiez]

I'm watching it on my 1440p monitor at 4k . I'm not saying the entire video but just this particular transition into this screen that it looks photorealistic for a moment . Try 3:00 minute mark

 

[Utherellus]

Its the most 'next-gen" as cross-gen can possibly get.

FH series have a short dev cycle anyways, sixth part with real next-gen game design and features won't be a really long wait.

 

[Negotiator101]

Best next gen visuals we've seen so far, so maybe your standards are too high mate?

 

[Jaguar Victory]

It's as next gen as anything we've seen so far.

 

[Negotiator101]

This game look nuts.

Developer said this was from an earlier build as well, Forza tech is crazy good now.

 

[bender]

I still think the original FH with the enhanced patch looks amazing. *shrug*

 

[Ironman_Bad]

This is gonna melt eyes in 4k hdr

 

[DenchDeckard]

Mind blowing shiz

 

[Mobilemofo]

Looks beautiful. Really does. Some reason, it gave me flashbacks to drive club. Lol.
