After more than 15 years and four console generations Forza has cemented itself as one of the most dependable, successful, and consistently acclaimed racing series ever. Here's how it got there.

I'm not a big racing gamer, but I remember playing FM games on 360 with friends list gamers. I was was goofing around cutting corners inside and bumping people like its destruction derby thinking thats what everyone was going to do to win like we all do against the cpu.

Guess not. Man were some of those guys pissed. lol

That was actually a great summary of the series.

Something I don't expect much of these days from journalists.

So pumped to be diving into 5 in the morning.

Hopefully the soundtrack is memorable this time, it began declining Since Forza Horizon 1.

You ever tire of being a cynic?

So going through the history of the game before a launch is advertising now?

Keep the same energy when a new Uncharted or God of War comes and they do the same sort of retrospective.

Imagine hating video games so much that you hate all games that came before it

Forza Motorsport is not a big deal to me, since there are many alternatives, but the Horizon series is the only AAA arcade racer left, which makes me sad.

... that was actually a really good video. From IGN.

I think I need a shower after typing that.

I'll have to check this out when I get home. FH4 was actually my first exposure to the series. Super hyped about FH5. FH4 is way, way better than I ever realized. I wouldn't have ever bothered with trying it if not for Gamepass making it easy. I think that's the case for a lot of new casual fans of racing.

or just proved that its nothing next gen in new game if it can run on old tech as well.

Imagine trying to claim that Forza Horizon 5 doesn't look next gen.

The Witcher 3 also proved that you can take one of the most beautiful games on PC at the time and scale it back to run all the way down to the Nintendo Switch. The concept is not that difficult, but hard for some people to understand for some reason, either because of ignorance, or purposely (trolling).
