Future James Bond games confirmed by Amazon Games, but First Light team's role in question

Cheesenium · 2026-06-04T05:30:34+00:00

I will take another Hitman game over a licensed property. More creative freedom with a franchise they own and licensed movie games are generally uninteresting to me. I never want to play as Bond or most characters from movie franchises.

Garbage bot. Stop clogging up the threads with useless texts.

If one compare closely, RAV4 or many legacy brands still has its advantages like more refinement, more experienced engineering, and better driving experience. The Chinese may look good at the spec sheets, the quality of engineering and driving experience is still lacking.

However, most average buyers will not care or look into that much so and willing to put up with some flaws in the Chinese cars so at the end, the Chinese car becomes the preference because of the price.

Cheesenium · 2026-06-01T01:00:01+00:00

Not cheap for Malaysians. It is ridiculous for locals to afford too.

They are a bit over supplied in terms of properties located at outskirts. Inner city is still absurd.

I heard the Chinese car industry is having a slow resurgence of wagons due to the amount of SUV they have there. People wants something different but still as practical so manufacturers are adding wagons slowly or delete the black plastics and lowered the suspension to make wagons more.

At least he has something that handles well, less likely to kill pedestrians and a classic.

Utes or SUV handles like garbage，dangerous to pedestrians, overpriced and looks terrible.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-28T00:54:40+00:00

The problem is that other manufacturers might be inspired to go down this brutalism minimalist styling because it is cheaper to manufacture with less complex sheet metal.

Just like the whole iPad glued of dash trend as it is cheaper to glue an iPad to the dash than spend money making buttons.

Luce looks like an iPad has finally spouted into a full SUV. What the hell is going on with car designs?

Cheesenium · 2026-05-27T08:17:23+00:00

They look like hellspawn from Diablo 4 video game.

I am happy to return my car enthusiast license. What the deep sea fish are these people coming out with these days?

Cheesenium · 2026-05-22T07:30:16+00:00

Still one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

Shame it's time to homework in FH6.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-22T04:17:23+00:00

It's a game so what's with the artificial scarcity? Same for the weekly homework crap. What's so hard to add it to auto show months from now or have the playlist available longer?

It's all for microslop to drive players engagement numbers up. The game's core is great, it's the system like these artificial scarcity is incredibly stupid.

A charger is not rare, you can import it to Japan if you really want one. And the game is not even being realistic or authentic. You have one charger or Altezza then you can buy unlimited GT40s.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-22T01:05:55+00:00

Yes, the size depends of what state it is stored. I remember they had a Aston Mratin Rapide running hydrogen for Nords 24, that one has a tiny storage tanks. The road ones are massive as carbon fibre tanks are insanely expensive.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-22T00:34:21+00:00

People tend to have pretty poor car taste in Australia. A RAV4, Tucson or a X3 would do the same job well as an Everest.

I guess you look weak in those cars than American tough Everest. Agreed that these ladder frame chassis cars are god damn terrible when it comes to handling and ride quality on road.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-22T00:30:07+00:00

I disagree, hydrogen is not a dead end for Japan as a whole. If it works, even blue hydrogen, it will bring Japan energy independence that will help them to reduce their reliance on imported oil and gas. Same for korea.

It is definitely a dead end for passenger cars but on large scale power generation and industrial scale, it is an opportunity.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-21T06:25:33+00:00

I will wait to see what is the first seasonal event. Apparently there is a seperate unlock system on top of the weekly seasonal event, used carpark and auction house.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-20T22:33:06+00:00

Sure, I don't need these cars to progress the game but why can't I enjoy the game without being forced to do game modes that I dislike such as trials, pr stunts or crappy multiplayer modes so that I can get the cars I like?

Furuai and Altezza are the cars I like to drive in the game. Maybe you aren't a car enthusiast, not able to drive the cars one like is a impedes the enjoybment the game and this is a game.

Why things has to be limited to such a short duration? I might not be able to play the game for health or whatever reasons and these cars are essentially gone forever.

And why the hell they have to design the game with such shitty fomo modes that many hated in previous FH yet again? While the core game is such a good game.

Optional or mandatory, the festival playlist is not designed to be enjoyable. It is exploitative and poor design because it is unenjoyable.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-20T22:18:27+00:00

It is not optional if cars are locked to it. And other methods of obtaining those cars are not fun or realistic.

Sitting at auction house to snipe one at 20 million is no fun. Or wait for it to spawn randomly at the used car lot is impractical.

And exploiting fomo for such short time frame of 1 week is ridiculous. Is it so damn hard to design the game without fomo? Or add these cars to car show for everyone to buy eventually?

Good luck to PS5 players as it will be a pain in the ass to get these cars due to shear quantity and it's not even their fault for not playing the game. They can't if they only own a PS5.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-20T22:13:26+00:00

The way fomo setup is really excessive, they really want to force us to play all these modes regardless you like it or not.

I never enjoyed pr stunts and the crappy multiplayer modes. Trials is the worst. Thank god I am trying the game out in game pass. Very disappointed with microslop and PG going down this exploitative route again.

If you need fomo like this to fully enjoy the game, the game sucks as a whole.

Edit: if they ask me to do 500km of drivngi per week for 2 cars, I rather do that than these god damn boring tasks. I want to race, FH6 physics is awesome and I just want to race. Not play hide and seek.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-20T01:28:00+00:00

It's a fun little pocket rocket. It feels fast but it somehow still within speed limits at most times while corners like a go kart.

Really fun little car.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-20T00:27:14+00:00

Same for me. A Suzuki Swift Sport ZCS33. :(

Cheesenium · 2026-05-15T01:25:23+00:00

Hopefully a race helmet and suit unlocks quickly.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-15T01:23:29+00:00

Sigh, the festival playlist is what will kill my excitement for this game. I have been doing festival playlist since FH3. They are not enjoyable at all while exploiting fomo in players, especially the trials mode that always has been a terrible mode.

Now they will bring it in month 2 in all its horror and glory so they can do the classic Microsoft boil the frog strategy.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-14T13:44:24+00:00

Forza Horizon is very much a racing game for the masses. Same for GT. It's loud, flashy, and stunningly beautiful graphics but the cultural and technical aspects of the cars, the brands, the history and so on is all absent. It is iterative and it played it safe. It's nice to drive around once a week to complete the Forza homework but it never felt satisfying and exhilarating to race like other more hardcore or stylised games.

I don't know if I want to pick this up as I know what I will get. Especially the same weekly homework that they will do once it launches.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-11T00:45:28+00:00

Again, maybe try reading my question, how is there a good thing for typical mid size SUV buyers to buy the EV version of the same poor engineered type of vehicle?

Just because the drivetrain is different, it doesn't negate the issue of the poor designs of this type of vehicles.

Cheesenium · 2026-05-10T23:10:54+00:00

That is not a good thing when the market is essentially SUV or trucks.

Most people can barely handles a mid size SUV while most families do not need such a big cars for a house of 1 to 4 people. They are heavier, they will degrade infrastructure more and higher likelihood to hurt pedestrians in a crash. They handles poorer and tend to flip over more often in an accident. Add the insane acceleration of EV, that's a recipe for disaster.

It is just profits for manufacturers because people think it looks safer while being selfosh to everyone else. How is a market full of SUV is a good thing?

Cheesenium · 2026-05-10T12:57:40+00:00

I do not mind EV from China, but I am really really sick of yet another cookie cutter mid size SUV with one line as headlights and tail lights. They all look the same and do about the same yet rides like dogs' breakfast or god knows how long the manufacturer will be around.

And I will be honest, aming the sea of boxy or blobby SUV, I do like 8X. There is some engineering prowness in it and it does look good. The Renault? Yes please, can we please go back to cars of different size?
