I still found myself facing backwards a lot as I tried to master drifting in an unmodified Toyota Supra. What is different is that cars feel heavier. So elements of the physics system clearly remain similar or the same. In fact, I was able to do the same ridiculous burnouts using an all-wheel drive version of the Mosler MT900S. In Forza Horizon 5, the arcadey handling overtones remain. All characteristics of an arcadey experience. Forza Horizon 5 will give you points regardless.īecause in Forza Horizon 4 you had overly rapid direction changes, a floaty, disconnected feel and somewhat basic suspension and braking systems. Fast, slow, upside down, on fire, in a cloud of smoke, never arrive – your choice, peeps. Ignore all the bells and whistles and what you are really left with is the process of driving from A to B. You know, the thing that underpins a racing game. My favourite change in Forza Horizon 5 is not the sandstorms, the sunny beach, flamingoes, lava, barn finds, Alejandra truck, Mayan temples, 526-car collection, addition of the DeLorean DMC or even the ability to call yourself Bantersaurus Rex. Lovely, lovely tyre smoke.Īnyway back to the handling. Secondly, the tyre, braking and suspension physics are more realistic. Firstly, there is now a drift differential. However, developer adjustments have made life easier. Fishtailing is still common, particularly when using the ‘Normal’ steering mode and when attempting to channel your inner Ken Block. The difficulty curve with a wheel is steeper. Consider yourself told.Īt this point I must point out that using a controller makes drifting and racing easier. In other words, unfinished, still in development and could well be different at launch. Now before I get burned at the stake by Microsoft, Xbox Game Studios, Turn 10 and Playground Games, please remember that all footage is from the preview. More on that in a second – subscribe, like, share if you would be so kind. The reason, which I will now explain as I drive up and down the Gran Caldera volcano like an idiot, is to do with the handling. Seriously though, it is looking like anyone who has a Logitech G923, Thrustmaster T300RS, Fanatec DD or whatever should have a better time than in Forza Horizon 4. You do not need to watch anymore of this video or read anymore of the article in the description, to be honest. So, then, is Forza Horizon 5 good with a steering wheel? Yep. During the Forza Horizon 5 preview I barely changed a thing – just which button to use for the awesome and completely overkill Thrustmaster Sparco handbrake. The problem was cars that tended to like going sideways were a nightmare to handle, relegating racing duties to slower cars or stuff with high downforce.Īdmittedly, you could tweak the settings to improve the situation and it did help. Honestly, even with the reactions of a ninja, Lewis Hamilton’s driving ability and a steering wheel setup that costs more than a house in Liverpool, you still spin. Shame there’s not as much you can do at X class. Forza Horizon 4’s best car, if you ask me. I made a video about that using the Ferrari 599XX Evo. I mean, some cars could lap Goliath absurdly fast while using a steering wheel. But what about steering wheel support? Will they work better this time? Thanks to the Forza Horizon 5 early access preview, I was able to explore the new Mexico map, check out the car collection and get a good feel for the game.
