Forza Horizon 5 looks in the new Gamescom

With Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft still has a potential racing game banger in Petto for this year. No wonder so that the racing game from Playground Games also had an appearance on the Xbox GamesCom Showcase and once again to play his graphics muscles in the newly presented gameplay scenes.

What was shown? There was the introductory sequence of the game, which is directly linked to Forza Horizon 4 and poses you at the wheel of various vehicles by parachute (!) Over the open game world and let it flit in the direction of the horizon festival area . There is an impressive cross-section through the landscape forms of Mexico Settings.

The following sequences do you play in the intro:

  1. At the wheel of a Ford Bronco SUV, you heat from the snow-capped volcano La Gran Caldera by stone canyons into the valley.
  2. Continue in a Corvette by the lousy green of the Mexican farmland, into a thunderous sandstorm.
  3. Part 3 of the introductory sequence puts you behind the steering wheel of a Porsche rally carriage and can be paeded by the jungle.
  4. And finally, you chases with a Mercedes AMG One (one of the two cover cars of the game) through a sand desert to the festival square.

It may sound a bit crushed now, but Forza Horizon 5 simply looks out easily in these scenes. The quality of the textures and vehicle models, details in the landscapes (flying flamingos, muddy substrate, etc.) and the fantastic lighting mood already guesses that we expect one of the most technically impressive games of the year in November.
