Quick Correction: I mention that the Horizon 4 map is based in "England" but since it includes areas of Scotland, it's more a fictionalized interpretation of Great Britain.


Coming up, I want to look at COD: Vanguard, Rider's Republic, some PS5/XboxSX headsets that I've yet to unpack, and lots of new games coming this month (Uncharted, GOW, and MonsterHunterRise on PC!)

And if you didn't see my tease yet on twitter, the next documentary will be "History of Halo!"

Happy 2022!

Am i the only one who didn't have both of the games and still watching it for satisfaction>?

What most people tend to forget is, this is still the same engine as in Forza Horizon 2.
It’s amazing what they made out of it.
Horizon 3 is where they made the biggest graphical jump for me, cause 4K and HDR made the world unbelievably beautiful even at night.

The sound, particularly engine sound, is a real step up in FH5. Also, I asked a dev once about damage models - its less to do with licensing etc and more to do with how many models of the car they have to make for each and every different vehicle, how its crashed, where, damaging what bits etc etc... question of memory rather than license!

You didn't mention the new tire smoke effect. You can get a good cloud going if you spin circles in 5.

The visuals of FH5 are amazing. But I consider the UK landscapes of FH4 provided more suitable environments for different sorts of racing. The new maps and environmental features such as the jungle and sands storms bring the series a little bit closer to the arcade spectrum. On a separate matter, the FH soundtracks were more impressive

[Lasagnaisprettycool]

As much as I loved the Australian settings with it's jungles and open dusty offroad sections, I invested about triple the play hours into FH4's world, the UK setting was very interesting because it looks a lot like the buildings roads and general environment where I live as a european. European open world games are kinda rare, and them featuring countryside area's even moreso.

FH5 Has a ton of objective improvements. However as far as actually playing the game goes, one has horrible disconnection issues and the other does not.

I find mysel preferring FH4, now that I moved to a tropical area. I began to appreciate the temperate beauty I once knew. Both are beautiful!

[JonesBrothersProductionsiac]

For the damage effects, I watched Raycevick's video on Burnout and the first thing shown was a Ford exec talking about why their cars don't look damaged is because they don't want the cars to look dangerous and unsafe. Yeah, that's a ridiculous statement.

[rookie]

The car sounds are significant improved from FH4.

[Colfax]

I really don't mind the damage models in fh4 and fh5, I leave them off just so my car looks really nice all the time

I played Horizon 4 for a year straight. Was excited when 5 came out.

I stopped 5 after 2 months.

World felt so much more engaging in 4, you would actually see more players around, and the highway was a great spot to meet others. 5 doesn't have any of that, too open, wide and soulless. Gameplay and effects on 5 was great at least.

Forza Horizon 5 sound quality is in a league of its own. It blows away every aspect of FH4 in engine sounds. Kudos to PG for their amazing work.
Next Forza game will be on a new engine so I'm really excited for that, in the meantime, I'll go play some Forza Horizon 5 :D

[ScreamAndFly]

Fantastic presentation, as always. Only one thing is I was surprised there was no mention of the smoke fidelity between the two. Horizon 5 vastly improved the tire smoke over Horizon 4.

The geographical and cultural environment of FH 4 map which what I mean is that sort of depiction has been seldomly appeared in other open-world games, whereas the type of geographical environment of FH 5 map you can be frequently seen that around in many other open-world games such as GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Just Cause 4 and so on. So I find the map of FH 4 is unique and hopefully the next game's map design will be literally based on Japan!

[Zorky]

There is a very small detail difference between the two games, that I really can't understand. In FH 4 the pedal shifters move when you shift gears, in FH 5 they don't (you can observe it from 10:40). I know it's a small thing but it bothers me a lot.

[AnotherWatchChannel]

I never heard of Forza… but then 2 weeks ago I got FH5… 250 hours later… now I’m playing FH4. Both are just incredible games. Also, I play with a direct drive wheel… so the force feedback designed into both of these games is mind blowing, . I was expecting them to play so good.

[bungwohlio]

It's the old Forza Motorsport 5 engine and it's hitting it's limit ad it can be seen which is very impressive for a track racing game engine. I'd like to see Gran Turismo do the same with theirs.

[moatezmoussi]

I would still go with FH4 because of the environment i prefer driving in beautiful nature than desert
