Forza Horizon 5 Previews

Really impressive that the streaming tech holds up even when going 300 mph. I remember some glitches in the F599XX in FH4 at its highest speed.

The rear of the car would end up being inside the road

This where I wonder what stuff like AMDā€™s Fidelity FX Super Resolution could fit. We know the results donā€™t look the best but we canā€™t deny that it does a decent job of boosting performance.

Keep all of those details at 60 fps with a blurrier image quality. Iā€™d still play that.

I thought FH5 uses a dynamic resolution solution. So arenā€™t they alredy trading performance for image quality?

Itā€™s a safe assumption that every modern game uses it but Iā€™ve never heard direct reference to it in Forza Horizon. So I assumed (I could be wrong) that it didnā€™t. Plus I couldnā€™t tell from my play on the previous games on my base Xbox One.

I thought this too. The resolution for both modes probably isnā€™t the full fat native 4K, and I would guess for performance mode its lower than quality mode. Something like 1800p is fine but if it goes near what Control uses, 1440p I thinkā€¦it just looks a tad too soft for my liking. I guess I could always further my viewing distance, but I kinda donā€™t want to.

Previous Forza games all have fixed resolution.

I follow BlackPanthaa, heā€™s fun to watch and covers racing games, has over 1.3M subs so heā€™s obviously huge in the community and MSā€¦ still didnā€™t send him early access? feelsbadman.

Like he shouldnā€™t be apologizing for something thatā€™s not his fault. He mentions in this video how he has a lot of social anxiety and isnā€™t fond of going to big conferences and places to do super social stuff, something Xbox apparently demanded of him at a point in the past and he said that his social awkwardness/anxiety was probably conflated for ā€œlack of interestā€. If thatā€™s indeed true, massive L on Xboxā€™s part.

There will always be people who donā€™t get access. Its just the nature of it. And I mean if theyā€™ve tried stuff in the past and it hasnā€™t worked then you know isnā€™t it understandable? Its not like Xbox would block him because heā€™s anxious - they likely donā€™t even know. But clearly theyā€™ve had him involved before and from their side didnā€™t work out so well. And I sympathise with him. Lots of social stuff in my work I hate it but have to do it. And probably you know they paid to fly him to E3 and given he didnā€™t seem to want to co-operate with their scheduleā€¦you can sort of see from their pov where it went wrong.

Looks crazy good!
