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 AMD’s Fidelity FX Super Resolution could fit. We know the results don’t look the best but we can’t deny that it does a decent job of boosting performance.

Keep all of those details at 60 fps with a blurrier image quality. I’d still play that.

I thought FH5 uses a dynamic resolution solution. So aren’t they alredy trading performance for image quality?

It’s a safe assumption that every modern game uses it but I’ve never heard direct reference to it in Forza Horizon. So I assumed (I could be wrong) that it didn’t. Plus I couldn’t tell from my play on the previous games on my base Xbox One.

I thought this too. The resolution for both modes probably isn’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 think…it just looks a tad too soft for my liking. I guess I could always further my viewing distance, but I kinda don’t want to.

Previous Forza games all have fixed resolution.

I follow BlackPanthaa, he’s fun to watch and covers racing games, has over 1.3M subs so he’s obviously huge in the community and MS… still didn’t send him early access? feelsbadman.

Like he shouldn’t be apologizing for something that’s not his fault. He mentions in this video how he has a lot of social anxiety and isn’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 that’s indeed true, massive L on Xbox’s part.

There will always be people who don’t get access. Its just the nature of it. And I mean if they’ve tried stuff in the past and it hasn’t worked then you know isn’t it understandable? Its not like Xbox would block him because he’s anxious - they likely don’t even know. But clearly they’ve had him involved before and from their side didn’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 didn’t seem to want to co-operate with their schedule…you can sort of see from their pov where it went wrong.

Looks crazy good!
