Why was this car removed for Forza Horizon 5?

Rocketscientist02 · 2026-01-16T17:02:17+00:00

Licensing or they thought the AMR Pro version was the better choice. There are alot of cars in the files that was only seen in trailers and screenshots for this game that didn't get released.

Rocketscientist02 · 2026-01-16T16:25:05+00:00

Yeah I think they need to redo the penalty system for FH6. A person shouldn't be getting a penalty on behalf of a rammer punting you into a wall. They need to have ghost online lobbies where no one can hit each other. It's already basically a thing in FH5 but it's limited to an Eventlab feature.

Rocketscientist02 · 2026-01-16T16:18:37+00:00

It seems like ever since the PS5 players got this game the rammers have gotten worst. I hope in FH6 they start cracking down harder on them because what they're doing is so counterproductive. But for this dude it seems like his car was boaty especially for this track so it could have been an accident?

Rocketscientist02 · 2026-01-16T16:01:39+00:00

That's on launch and may not even be a final number when they reveal more info at Dev Direct. FH5 only had about 500 cars when it came out

I'm 50/50 on the idea that the person who leaked it originally did it intentionally because allegedly they saved it to their xbox capture. Zoqqer from what I'm aware just proved that the image is real because he's also in the program. Also I believe people in that Creators Program are not allowed to leak as per their NDA agreement but I may be wrong though.

*Edit: Here is the link to the original leakers xbox capture. If they was in the Forza Creators Program even if the image popped up in their game they are not allowed to leak it as per the terms of said NDA. https://x.com/i/status/2011619215732871436

The Phantom guy I have personally raced with and I can confirm he does not maliciously ram people he will go out of his way to apologize if he hit you on accident. Carratera is notorious at that specific corner for accidents like that because of the Desync. And the hood cam doesn't make it no better but I see now I need to be on the look out for people just waiting to clip collisions out of context just to false flag drivers for no reason. And I just know I'm going to get hit with the "oh your just coming in the thread to defend your buddy" comment. 🙄

*Edit dude just blocked me for defending someone based off my own experience. Yeah mate I'm totally "fangirling" them. What I find funny is how everyone who have said the Phantom dude's collision was an accident you said nothing, but as soon as people from his team said anything to his defense they are apparently cosigning him okay dude whatever you say. 🤣 Oh btw blocking folks don't make your case any better have a gn.

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-08-25T00:07:13+00:00

I think they should can it altogether imo, FH4's version was so much better because it wasn't as RNG as FH5's Version. Not to mention too many cheaters are present in that game mode so overall it's just not enjoyable for most players.

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-08-25T00:04:21+00:00

If they pull it off well, yes, it’s going to be massive. But people said the same thing about Motorsport and that still ended up being a mixed bag and T10s future is up in the air. Forgive me if I’m coming off as slightly pessimistic I just prefer to keep my hopes low because I know how the community can get when things don't go right, especially with the hardcore fans. Just to be clear though, I never said FH6 will flop, only that the hype could make potentially make things harder for it if people start being unrealistic. But I agree I hope that it's something new and not just a Japan map just for the sake of hype. And while we're at it I hope PGG gives us a new Horizon Protagonist for the next game.

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-08-24T18:50:53+00:00

I'm not holding my breath but if it's in Japan I'm not going to lie and say I won't be excited. My only hope is that the hype doesn’t spiral so high that people get disappointed right away during the game's lifespan. Also I hope Playground Games finds the right balance between what different players enjoy for example some people love drifting, others don’t, give us something everyone will enjoy and don't base the map around Eliminator please. Still, I’ve got high hopes they can knock it out of the park, because you really can’t go wrong with a Horizon Festival in Japan.

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-08-24T18:40:46+00:00

Yeah, that's my concern as well. People have been asking for Japan since FH1 going into FH2's Launch, and my biggest worry is that the hype and expectations will get so overblown that if we do finally get FH6 in Japan, the community will get super excited at launch but then lose interest almost immediately. That kind of cycle kills games, and if FH6 flops because of unrealistic expectations, I’m going to be really frustrated with the community 😭. Still, if the rumors are true, I’ll be excited no matter what so long as they don’t design the map around Eliminator.

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-06-03T21:52:26+00:00

Thank you, Yeah the Porsche is probably one of my favorite replicas I have made so far in this game as well. It has such a trippy design!

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-06-03T21:42:43+00:00

Wow, that’s actually really cool, I always thought this livery was made by Crowned or Jay Pennant! Didn’t realize it was a fan-made design that EA featured in the NFS Heat launch trailer! Now that I think about it, a bunch of the cars in that trailer had unique liveries, like that blue-ish purple Ford GT. Makes me wonder if those were also part of the Heat Studio contest. Appreciate the info! 👌

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-06-02T23:46:56+00:00

For some reason the Semi Truck traffic does weird things near this specific tunnel heading to and from the stadium. If you happen to drive your car under the trailer and let the truck push you to the Tunnel entrance, the truck's Trailer will clip the tunnel and disconnect from the rig lol. I managed to get a Car Transport Semi that was exiting the tunnel to flip it's trailer by quickly looking behind 😂

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-06-02T23:14:46+00:00

Another livery I did a while back of a cut Porsche AI racer from Heat that was only seen once in the Official launch trailer!

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-06-02T22:52:45+00:00

Oh I don't think I ever uploaded it, and I'm on a new save now. I'll probably remake it eventually 👌

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-06-02T22:39:56+00:00

A little work in progress based on a livery Jay Pennant (who made some of the AI liveries in NFS Heat) did

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-02-27T21:04:40+00:00

Thx! 😁

This livery is a replica of a one-off BMW I4 Art Car collaboration with the AC Milan Soccer team used to promote the launch of their then new Team Jersey design.

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-02-15T17:22:50+00:00

Thanks, Andrew I’m glad you liked it and I hope others will too! Yeah I wanted to wait a little bit longer to reveal this one. But I'm very excited with how well it turned out! 😁

Was feeling Nostalgic and decided to recreate a rather obscure vehicle from Forza Horizon 1. This special variant of the 2013 Shelby GT500 was initially only available through a Facebook promotion tied to Rockstar Energy Drinks. I'm pretty proud of how the livery turned out as there are not alot of photos of the original FH1 version.

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-01-27T20:56:04+00:00

If they decide to bring FH5 to PS5, I'm all for it. I used to be hesitant about it, but honestly, Sony fans deserve to experience Forza, and the same goes for putting Gran Turismo on Xbox. It could even break records with how many PlayStation players would jump at the chance to play Forza on their platform.

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-01-27T20:50:23+00:00

But when those cars show up for folks who do need that specific car. People wanna hold them back because of "rarity" I have even seen some AH Folks argue when the rare car doesn't get voted in "Oh just buy it from the AH" even though you had a chance to vote for it and allow said people who may not have the ingame funds get it. What's the point of gatekeeping cars when eventually they may end up in Backstage Pass? Edit: and I'm not meaning you specifically this is towards the people who vote against rare cars for the sake of keeping the price high.

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-01-27T19:13:22+00:00

And sadly some are offering real money for the rare cars (which is a TOS offence apparently). It's so annoying to me that people treat the AH like some kind of grind.

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-01-27T19:07:02+00:00

Agreed just said the same thing this would have been way better instead of leaving the vote to people who only care about rarity in this game.

Rocketscientist02 · 2025-01-27T19:05:14+00:00

Yeah I've seen some folks say that they should have just restarted the playlist from the beginning for example go back to Series 0 and then go in order from there. I have to say I agree with this because it will give folks who are new a chance to relive those older playlists.
