Oh sorry, I meant that I like Tour, Eliminator, and Rivals but I haven't been able to get much out of the Arcade. I've tried the various Arcade activities but usually it seems like they're kind of dull and not enough people are joining.
Most of the time they're worse with more people, because that's usually just one rando that happened to be driving through the arcade zone when it started and now you've got to do about twice as much before the timer runs out

I feel like Horizon Arcade is the boringest of the multiplayer activities. Are there any really fun modes?

it is definitely a huge step back from fh4's forzathon live. forzathon live was awesome and felt exciting every time, arcade is a ghost town that happens way too frequently to feel meaningful. arcade is really the only thing i dislike about fh5.

It seems like there's a lot of elevated tracks that I suspect wouldn't allow for as much "drive anywhere" play.

Heck yeah. The hot wheels stuff in FH3 wasn't my favourite of the DLCs (I loving *loved* Blizzard Mountain), but super-duper looking forward to the FH5 take on things.

The AI really cannot handle these tracks. They weave, wall-ride, and if you choose the wrong type of vehicle in off-road races, have unlimited grip in dirt, and aren't slowed down by water.

Also, the new Tours are even better!

And with new categories, besides the obvious "Hot Wheels Only" I got one with A-class Anything Goes (AWD Only) for instance, implying that there may be at least one RWD Only Tour in the list.

The starting tracks for B are all Hazards I think, yeah, but for higher classes it's more Speeds

Also, some of the Hazard tracks are just Speed tracks with rumble or ice track in them.

Okay, but in the fifth story mission the Hot Wheels arrangement is described as being "50 miles over Mexico"

This implies a normal temperature of -86 Celsius/-123 Fahrenheit, and an atmospheric pressure of "you're on the border of the mesosphere and thermosphere, technically you're in outer space"

So when you eventually get into the competitive multiplayer, you've got an excuse when you choke~

I did an entire race with my camera pinned backwards. Hot wheels is so stupid.

Got my mind on doritos and doritos on my mind.
All of the recent event labs on the festival playlist had some kind of hot wheels looking track and the camera tracking was awful. Is it the same for all the dlc tracks?

Driving on the Hot Wheels tracks feels good. I was skeptical but it's very fluid and nothing like those janky Event Labs. They probably lost a lot of sales by highlighting those, because they were so drat annoying to control.

"It's just like Hot Wheels, but absolute poo poo!" seems to have been the idea behind the last bunch of eventlab tracks, so I'm baffled as to why someone thought those should be highlighted like that

So if you're doing the Hot Wheels Goliath in a Jesko, when you reach this part of the map



your car will pull a Mark Webber and lift up all on its own lmao





Have tried a few times now, always at the same spot. And it only works with the Jesko.

Sadly, there's a bit of track just overhead, so you can't do a full backflip.

That happened in the Rimac, too.

Also, if you enter some of the mag tracks over 500kph, sometimes it doesn't activate which is an unpleasant surprise.

If you lose too much speed in a loop or sideways track do you just fall off

Yeah, but it has to be really steep before this becomes an issue. Your car can actually just hang out on like a pretty steep incline without sliding or anything, but that's the same as the base game, where you can pretty easily get any car up like a 60°+ incline on the side of the volcano without any sliding

This is also why you get a warning if you try and use a C or D class car, it sounds like maybe they won't reliably have enough speed & power to get around much of this map

I'm really enjoying the car class progression system they put in for this. I guess it's been a really long time since I've played a Forza Motorsport but I like being forced to choose other stuff.

The progression seems to get easier as I move through the classes. The B class races each took me multiple tries as my usual 700PIs struggled, but I just blitzed through the S1s in my Taycan.

Can’t say I’m looking forward to trying to make clean Rivals times though. Everything just slides around and there’s no margin for error with the walls.

How are those S2s treating you? Half of them took me at least two tries
