Forza Horizon 5 makes a grand statement, delivering a level of fidelity worth of next generation console hardware. And yet Playground Games also has this game running on Xbox One X and even Xbox One - how?! Rich visited Playground for some answers, then put together this extensive cross-platform comparison. Every version and every mode tested - six different rendition of Forza Horizon 5 in total!

@@godsson7779 I understand how you feel. But you have to understand it from their point to. When you have 1,000,000+ followers, it’s tough to keep up with it all. I’m sure they would love to respond back to people, but they would have to hire somebody full-time just to do that. I totally understand where you’re coming from, but I totally understand where they are also. I’m not defending them, as I’m sure again that they would love to respond to everybody. There comes a point with every KZfaqrs channel when it becomes a bit more than they can handle when it comes to replies. I’m sure every KZfaqr wants to keep contact with everybody who supports their channel. But, just like people in Hollywood, it’s impossible to do so and still have time for yourself. It takes a lot of time to make these videos. The editing and everything it takes to produce one of these takes up to a dozen hours or more depending on how long the video is. It’s a video as a half hour long, with all of the edits and music and everything else you do… It truly can take four more hours to not only edit and create the video, but also upload it. I look at it as, if they see the replies… They see them and they can react or not. But even if they read it and don’t reply, at least maybe I made them smile knowing that one of the many people love what they do. I have been an entertainer since I was five years old and I can tell you between actually entertaining, then promoting, advertising, getting sponsors, website, Twitter, KZfaq and everything in between… It’s not easy and it’s very time consuming. You could easily spend every hour of every day keeping up with it. Which is why a lot of these guys hire people specifically to do so. It’s why PR companies can be so incredible four anyone in any form of entertainment. Because they take care of all of that and give you time alone. It’s one thing to do what you do and make the money, but because of the consumption of your time… It leads a lot of entertainers and KZfaqrs little time for themselves. All of it is more of a full-time job than many people realize. Again, I understand where you’re coming from, but knowing what I know and doing what I do… I totally understand why it can’t be possible for them and anybody else in entertainment to keep up. As you would never have any time to essentially enjoy the fruits of your labor.

The developers who complained about not building a real game were silenced or fired. Most of the development cycle was spent literally not building the game they set out to build in the first place. It was absolutely possible on last gen. That entire excuse is no more than that. An excuse to save face so they don't have to admit the suits ruined the whole game because in this situation, the lowest on the pole fall under the bus.

It's just further proof the base 2013 hardware (Xbox One and also PS4) is extremely competent and can be used to make very impressive visuals and games. Stuff like Forza Horizon 5 here is evidence of that, but also games like Red Dead 2, Gears 4 (on the base Xbox) or Days Gone and Last of Us Part 2 (on the base PS4). There's no excuse for other developers when they release visual eyesores on those consoles, often citing "older tech" as the reason "why" their games run terribly and look awful.

Things at fast speeds being too blurry to appreciate is off-putting, and when I spin the camera it makes me feel ill lol. I have to play it at 60 and even with lower foliage and a couple of other lower settings I swear it looks better, not just performance but actual visuals too. I don't see much reason to play in quality mode on the Series X, although I'd love for them to consider a 120hz 4K40 like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart did. At the end of the day it's a racing game, and if people can justify the bricks on a building being more 3D in quality mode when you inspect up close versus how it looks and feels during a race, it feels as if their priorities are backwards.

I’ve always lauded Playground Games/Turn 10 on their skill at optimising games since the launch of Forza Horizon 4. You could run that game absolutely maxed out on a mobile Max-Q 1060 and even lower hardware by bumping down some of the settings. It was insane to me how well optimised that game was when I was used to PC ports being absolutely terrible and having to spend an hour tinkering with settings to make them workable. The performance of FH5 on last gen consoles only takes my appreciation of their great optimisation even further than it already was.

I can play FH5 at higher settings than in FH4 and it's so smooth in-game. Except for motion blur (of course) and upping AA, I haven't needed to touch the graphic settings from their recommended ultra setup, with my PC being slightly above recommended.

And apart from the form of delivery, the Steam and Store versions are technically identical.

@@DON666 I've played the game on PC as well and so far I've only seen two issues. The first one is where the game sometimes crashes when switching between body kits. This happened two times within 10 minutes when I was browsing through all the customization options for the RX7. The other issue is where the ground texture turns into a flat colored mush on mid to far range terrain despite the foliage being rendered just fine when I used Ultra environment settings. Maybe it's because the game was using up all the VRAM so it decided to drop the texture quality, but it did so without telling me I was low on VRAM (which it did on Extreme settings). Turning down the environment quality to High solves the problem and the LOD in the distance is much better.

Yeah. To my eye, One X is much better than One S, and Series S is another big jump up (load times and 60 FPS), but the jump to Series X/PC is comparable smaller. The longer this gen wears on, the happier I am to have gone with the most efficient system (Series S) rather than the most powerful option (Series X).

The next-gen version is really amazing, but I find it even more surprising that they were able to run this game at 1080p on the old Xbox One, I can't even remember the last time I saw a game hit 1080p on this console, it's amazing that they were able to run it. I play this well on 8-year-old hardware with a Jaguar CPU and DDR3 RAM, I'm surprised what developers can do with such old hardware. The Xbox One X version is also surprising, I didn't expect to see this game hitting 4K on it (which is even more impressive since even the Xbox Series S version doesn't even come in that resolution) but I still think it would be interesting to have a 1080p mode. at 60fp.

The Series S seems to handle 1440p at 30 fps, so I'd assume the Series X with a GPU 3× stronger than the Series S should have no problem to do the same at 60fps (with DRS on). I don't think the CPU Speeds are the bottleneck here, because they are quite powerful on all new gen consoles. Maybe a future patch will see some adjustments. I played on extreme at 1440p on my 3080, Ryzen 9 laptop, hitting 70-90 fps and I really enjoyed the lod better there, even with the resolution drop from 4K to 1440p

Playground games really should add a third Graphics option for a1440-1800p 60 fps Quality mode to the Xbox Series X version in my opinion, rather than cutting back the visuals to maintain a 4K resolution in the existing Performance mode. I personally think a small resolution drop would be far less noticeable than the current pop in that you see in the Performance mode. Thankfully, this isn't an issue on the PC which appears to be the definitive version if you want the best visuals *and* the best performance but that shouldn't surprise anyone. It's still awesome on the consoles - I also have the game for my Xbox One X - but the PC offers so much more, including the option to play at 60 fps to whatever framerate your monitor supports.

I agree. They should add something like this, similar to how Ratchet and Clank and Spiderman Miles Morales added in PS5 where the game runs at full quality at 1440p 60fps. Playground games had to work on 6 different versions of game, so it's possible that they could not find time to add two more versions.

That's some serious optimization. I am going to assume that things like Mesh shaders and sampler feedback streaming aren't in use just yet. SFS could free up more memory, especially for the Series S. I am curious how Forza Motorsport and Fable are coming along. You won't need to be moving so fast in Fable, so that's going to be something.

I have nothing but respect for Playground Games for making such efforts to push the limits and optimize their games and to not rush to release them in an incomplete state, especially in todays world where it pretty much became the norm to release a game each year even at the cost of quality, innovation, and buggines. It probably has to do with the publisher Xbox as well but idk.

Agreed. Too often we see developpers turning down resolutions, framerates and even LOD on "next gen" consoles. If this game can run on Xbox One, how can a developper say that their came can't run on base PS4? Even if they have to dynamically lower resolution up to 1280*1080, theres hould be enough power.

Seeing this makes me wish for Polyphony Digital start putting in as much effort in optimizing their games like T10 and Playground do. Because ever since the PS3 era all of the GT titles have had unstable framerates, even GT Sport on a base PS4 tank quite hard when being in crowed situations in cockpit view and clear weather.
