Well, I couldn't find a thread for the franchise as a whole (I could find one for Horizon back when it first came out, and one for Motorsport 4 specifically), so here we are.

I got Horizon 5 the other day and... honestly, I really forgot how chill the whole experience is (aside from like the seasonal challenges). The racing line and rewind features particularly make for one of the most relaxing arcade games, and despite the Spiteful A.I. entry, it's got nothing on the NFS traffic roulette. Just... no-stress no-stakes races and "here, let's throw a whole bunch of cars at you".

Plus, it's gorgeous.

And bonus points, it has the Volvo 850 in it! Well, the 850R rather than the baseline 850, but it's close enough to make me happy.

Horizon has been a fantastic escapism series, but the fifth game stands out feels like it stands out for how joyous it feels. Not that it wasn't already celebratory with the parties everywhere, but with the addition of the expeditions there's a greater variety of awesome stuff that happens. No caveats or twists or anything like that — just exploring scenic locations, taking geological surveys, driving parade floats, and more. It's nice to have a series that feels like one big vacation :)

Did they go back to the fun of 3 after whatever that was in 4?

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

I don't know what 4 supposedly did that was bad, aside from the UK being a terrible place if you want super varied environments. [lol]

[up][up] And they unlock pretty quickly, so if you're after the expeditions it won't take forever.

I was taking some photos for various reasons (for one I was confused there was a lorry in the first race, the other is just "look at this neat livery I found"), and a friend of mine said "I thought those were photos from the thumbnail". Game's pretty.

Here's some surprising news that was initially a rumor: Forza Horizon 5 is getting a PlayStation 5 version this spring.

It's really amusing to see a Microsoft game getting released on a Sony console, especially since PlayStation 5 doesn't have its own alternative to the Forza Horizon series (not counting third-party titles, obviously).

A little bit shocking news, but not completely unexpected. Makes sense for them to bring Horizon over, since Motorsport would have Gran Turismo as direct competition. Glad more people will get to experience the awesomeness of Horizon :)
