Japanese radio station hosted in Japanese is a very nice touch.
Yep
🔥
Yes it is.
Glad to see that. For a game that is marketing culture immersion, would have been a big miss if they didnt have it.
Hopefully we get some subtitles too!
We will certainly race against the bullet train.
like the steam locomotive in fh4
@f1.cravings or the train in fh5
Ну да они же ничего нового создать не могут, кроме цены
@f1.cravingsкопировать вставить 👍
I don't think it'll be fair
Finally a forza horizon set in Japan, ive been waiting for this since horizon 3 😭
welcome to the club bro, the japan waitlist was LONG
since horizon 3?? bro ive been waiting since the original horizon lmao
Japan was always the obvious choice idk why it took them this long honestly
Bro ive been commenting japan on every forza tweet since 2017, i feel like i contributed to this 😂
They heared us bro, they finally heared us 🔥
My laptop is gonna sound like a modded Honda civic at 2 am
Sonhando que rode em um RYZEN 7 7735HS + 24GB de RAM
@HelsoMendoncaofcourse it will run on those specs,
Provided you have a decent GPU
@MohammedNameerAnsari i use Ge Force Now and it is cheap. does not have all the games but does have most good ones including all of these.
ME TOO DAWG, ME TOO... i might get CPU-speed gated out of this one, i hate to admit. my g7 17 is only gonna last so much longer with newer games on decent graphics specs.
Forza horizon games have always been really well optimised in my experience on PC, you'll be alright if your pc aint atleast 5 years old
What an HONOR to hear my track "Turbo Fire" with Nakamura Minami in this gameplay footage!!
WELCOME TO FORZA!!!
this how u know u made it in life 🎉
you're the goat!
You did incredible thank you and CONGRATULATIONS
Welcome to Forza, baby
4:39 that tunnel exit boutta end so many races 😭
Yuuuup, thought the same 😂
Omg is that the original Rizon the japanese Rocket?!?!🔥
@e@etmxds rizon the japanese racket
Glad to see rizon the racket
Lmao, we gunna have a bunch of deaths
I really love how they actually implemented people into the prologue cutscenes.
It feels like a FH2 again.
Spawning in and you see that yellow 14’ huracán 😢
I honestly really love that, since it makes it feel more... alive! Like it's an actual organized festival, with tons of staff and spectators, special effects with the snow being blown on the mountain track, the space rocket launch, and more! Can't wait to play!
FH1 as wel, especially when it says “we’ve got a legendary convoy headed to the festival now”
In FH1 it say, “we’ve got Darius already racing someone to the festival , drivers get here NOW!” when we drove the SRT viper in the prologue. Man they finally going back to the roots
agreed. I know they wanna try do as much as they can in-engine, but i’d honestly kill for proper cutscenes again. They’ve done well with the character animations this time around, but it just doesnt compare to an actual cutscene imo.
either way the ‘festival’ vibes are SO BACK
Something about implementing people into the world in racing games makes the world feel 1000% more alive.
When NFS Unbound did it with pedestrians, it made the world feel actually lived in and real more than any game before it. All the past Horizons always feel like ghost towns to me. No amount of radio chatter can fix it.
3:40 the number plate is YU JI🔥❤
This is CRAZY! It looks so colourful!
Ong love you man
Goofy full time RUclipsr e-beggar cringe boy
Fr I also your videos!
GET A JOB YOU GOOF
My second fav Canadian RUclipsr after vanoss
3:08 the photographers photo: 🟨
😂😂 😂
zoomed into that paint job with 400mm lmao
You’re easily impressed. It’s junk. State of the driving 🤣
macro photo of dead mosquito
wkwkwkwkwk
1:34 it ain't a Forza game without the slowmo jump
ME AND MICHAEELLL!
30fps isn't slomo enough?
I am tired of this shit
@kRazyyyyyyyThis is NOT 30fps buddy! Stop hating! 😂
@tonyungfat more like 5fps lol
Bro this moment 6:25 is amazing, Helicopter from FH3; Jet planes from FH4; Cargo plane from FH5.
Deploying an entire army and a rocket for a car festival is crazy 😭😭
too gimmicky. Hope they get rid of it again
Asphalt 8 did that first
Crap, and this stuff they had in every part of FH, military jet aircrafts, helicopters... guys do something different at least!
We can just assume that the Forza festival is the biggest and most honorable event for any country hosting it in this fictional universe. They REALLY love cars lol
@vanoivanov1029 Nah bro its was lowkey cool.
I’m a bit dissapointed that the cherry blossom petals in the road weren’t kicked up in the air more with all those cars racing through them.
You just have to find something to complain about huh? You just can't be happy... Fking people man it's a fking game play it or don't nobody cares aboutt the stupid petals flying in the air like wtf💀
SAME
this is still not finished
Right before they drive underneath the bridge im pretty sure theyre being kicked up but the blur is making it not noticable
I mean it could also be too laggy fornthat
that’s our song in the touge section!
I guess the song will be out when game releases 😏😁
it sounds sickkk
What’s the name of the song? That was my favorite part of the trailer.
I absolutely need it in my playlist!
Awesome track! Such a vibe!
At 4:34 if you pause and look at the license plate of the 911GT you can see the characters "YU-JI" there.
3:09 interesting lens choice for something that close up
He really wants that ✨bokeh✨
attention to detail
@aventus. BOAK
That's Larry Chen lol
i came to say this
FH1 " Hey guys Is Scott Tyler from Bass arena
FH6 "Hey Is Scott Tyler "
Me "Tears of Joy"
Why do they keep letting these people voice these characters with such cringe
@MMaRsu Scott Tyler slander is crazyyy
@MMaRsuI completely agree, they ruin an otherwise excellent game series. It was so bad in FH5, I completely turned the DJ off and all annoying notifications.
Scott Tyler is Finally Back
3:44 something that always annoyed me about fh5's dialogue was the english with random bits of spanish dropped in the middle. i was seriously ready to turn off the dialogue if they did the same thing here but with japanese, but hearing a full uninterrupted line of japanese is a good sign so far
EXACTLY
IKR, real human beings dont talk like that all the time
THIS. I love the fact that they have a full dialogue/ commentary in Japanese! It'll be better if they have a Japanese stutter to explain in English for us in-game!
@UOHCUNYyou cant fool us. they do speak like that all the time
Omg yes the constant broken spanglish in fh5 pissed me off so much
4:45 reminds me of Asphalt 8
French Guiana
3:08 yoo how sick is that, Larry Chen as a photography character in FH6 😍🔥
Yaaa it has to be
It is the GOAT himself, I bet he will be teaching how to use photo mode
Dude's taking photos of the individual flakes in the paint with a lens like that haha
came here to say this
@vientayuno934 he is obviously taking close-up photos of the bolts on the fender
6:22 not enough flying objects
😂 actually 5 planes
The only thing missing are fpv drones with bombs strapped on them
B2 bomber needed
This is after Japan becomes the 57th USA state in the year 2055
@Actiffeclips6 vs 0😅😅😅😅
I love the confidence of the guy in 3:09 with a telephoto lens taking a closeup shot hahahahah
That's Larry Chen.
bros taking pictures of bugs on the car lol
OMG exactly my thoughts !!!
I wonder if that's a joke reference from that scene of fast and furious which has that guy taking a picture with a telephoto of a car with a girl right in front of him
I died when I saw that 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 looool... tbh better fun with that scene, than an actual good lens for close-ups 😂
3:01 この高橋啓介の中間の時のFDを再現できるの感動
0:10 HIGHWAY TRAFFIC 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯
😂
People gonna stop crying about the game being unpopulated now lol
I hope like that busy traffic like in real life, I don't want like COVID-19 lockdown like in first trailer FH6. But leaked map too small feel like FH4 map
Lol it's just for the intro, it won't be like that, 100%, just like the NPCs lol
Cry more
1:28 bro didn’t give it a shit about almost getting hit
Good spot lol
Just mogged the fuck out of the guy that ran out of the way lmao
Barssss
@TheRacingMonkey lol
couldn’t risk allat aura
The Shinkansen slowing down to say hello and then speed up was cool
I can already imagine people will definitely try to outrun that train
It's a showcase race for sure.
Maybe in a a beat up Charger that's been suped up for shits and giggles.
Then you hear "Family..." As you cross the line.
2:50 this is an inconsistency in Part 2 that when you try to jump, the truck is already jumping. This should be fixed by next month. When you try to jump, you should jump, and then Part 2 ends.
2:55 Brooo it´s so peak te reference to initial D
Initial D fanservice check
Takumi vs Ryosuke.
Takumi vs ryosuke moment haha
Title trailer have reference to initial D tho
Takumi vs kyochi race again in fH6
Already looks better than horizon 5
yeah this is horizon 6
Thats not very hard to beat is it?
FH5 trailers also looked better than the actual game. Idk for sure why. BUT I'm hopeful this time around :3
@FangReviews color grading, graphics where the same than the release version, but it had color grading + perfectly picked time of day. a sunny sunset will allway helpo a game look mor eimpresssive than a cloudy day in the middle of the day wich is the hardest lighting for any rasterised game
It’s literally the exact same I’m crying 😭😭😭😭
Please add more 'sense of speed' at higher speeds in game
I felt the same. The game has no sense of speed at all, and the cars seem like they're on rails.
i came here to say THIS. i feel like the car is just "gliding" over the road. is it so difficult to shake the cam?
even games from the PS2 era (nees for speed and midnight club) are more "realistic"
It's because this is the Xbox "quality mode" at 30fps, 60fps feels a lot faster in racing games (Forza in performance mode).
Stupid comment
@vtubersarejustbetterwhy?
1:27, it's funny that out of all the places a Pro4 & an Alumicraft can be, they're instead in japan
2:57 love the initial d reference ❤️🥹
There needs to be a Eurobeat radio station! Avex Trax stuff.
I wish they had put some kind of eurobeat in this scene
Я вчера смотрел игры на ps1 и был удивлен, что уже тогда были игры с отсылкой к Initial D
2:53 whoever did that transisition needs a raise.
2:52 that transition at was legendary. It's comforting to know that the opening of a Forza Horizon game is still giving me goosebumps at 50 years old. This looks fantastic.
3:20 what's the name of the song .
山とかの植生がガチで日本のになってるのがリアル感を増している 峠とかなんか見覚えがあるように錯覚するレベル
2:56 white comet of akagi vs takumi
Just got to that battle in the Manga, I'm excited to see what happens
@littlebrocna a channel posted a video of the full map, and in the upper right part of the map you can see that they added mt. akina🔥
So happy someone got the ref
i thought nobody saw this!!! got me straight out of my seat man, what a feature!
@woopercove don't forget the red MAZDASPEED A-spec on 3:03
FD3S Project D Spec III!
0:30 fastest train in Forza horizon ever
First thing to do is discover crazy launch glitches with it
@nomey07 yes
Something tells me we are racing the Shinkansen
@KyonBrace given the past games we will definitely be racing the train
@KyonBrace Ep that him
What’s the song at 3:04?
1:35 - forza horizon 4 nostalgia ...
Hell yah
I miss the snow in FH5
Yeah really 😅
It's not nostalgia, it's just the same car models, physics and graphics 😂
@Wonder_wander_awoo new models , its using the motorsport engine not the horizon engine, and its on new gen only so the graphics arent held back. whats the point of lying mate.
That Tokyo skyline is epic 6:02
damnnn its beautiful
its a AMG GT black series. not a skyline gtr.
@PwnageJbro what
gorgeous
@PwnageJYou high?😭😭
2:56 We delivering tofu on time with this one🗣️🔊🔥
I got immensely disappointed when they immediately swapped to a Porsche.
they could've done a drift segment with a JDM car at the touge.
😂😂😂
Speed Stars are going down!! 😂
No eurobeat radio even though the eurobeat label contacted game devs...
Hears the DJ "is that Mihono Bourbon???" It is in fact Ikumi Hasegawa lol
6:02 that tokyo city 🤩
3:43 Japan Radio! Sick!
Yeah!
Someone know the title?!
The gr gt
So sick!!!!
wtf brooo, can’t wait for ts
For real
I‘m holding my breath till I see a W16-swap option for the Peel P50
@TheRacingMonkeythat would be sick but sadly wouldn’t happen😭
@TheRacingMonkeywell that wouldnt happen being a w16 is literally the size of a peel p50😂
Yooo is that LARRY FUCKING CHEN? AND Dino DC RWB Porsche?!
2:59 the transition is holy
Ong
Initial D
Hein ?
@MotorCity54321loos initial
Holy we are eating good tonight
What?
@generalshakewell cuz tgey cookin.. videos will start coming tonight
@generalshakewell Unrelated. He just ordered a lot of food
GTA 6, Horizon 6 peak year
@Zack_2027And Fable
1:52 when the Super Clipping PTSD kicks in
Forza Horizon 6 - Official (Initial D)rive Gameplay. ITS OFFICIAL INITIAL D COLLAB INCOMING!!
I ain't crying, something just got into my eye that's it
Yeah must be a small map
Same, Its beautiful
we both crying bro, its okay😪
I was actually crying with happiness while watching this race
They were able to bring back the spirit of the horizon festival with these incredibly lifelike cutscenes and the people in them. I LOVE IT SOOOOOO MUCH
@ThequnineI Can‘t hould it guys so happy
THE ROADS!! They made em massive again 😭
😭🙏
Somehow, it doesn’t feel like Japan. And the roads are way too wide
Unplayable \s
Looks like a hot wheels game with that wide roads 😂😂
The price we have to pay for mass appeal. It will be fun tho. And im sure they will have some narrow sections surely
2:56
Initial D reference Takumi vs Ryosuke
Men identify ,men happy🗿
Déjà Vu
Will be very disappointed if there is no Eurobeat in the game's radio
There are so many Initial D references in this game. I can't wait! The only anime besides DBZ that I've ever watched all the way through, lol.
Is it just me or do the roads get wider and wider with each game? You could easily land a medium sized plane here.
Disappointed by the leaves not kicking up when you drive over them. Would've been cool to see swarm of those pink leaves kicking up in volumes
agree
Apparently, certain things were toned down for this build of the game. Namely, Tokyo will reportedly have more traffic and pedestrians than what was shown. They've also said the leaves will react to the car properly. Here's hoping that's true!
@jordanwolfson8378 Prolly because it ran like shit on their top end machine
@Krosis_ forza games are actually historically very well optimised
@jordanwolfson8378 i really hope they do, but it would not be that big of a deal cuz some god given modder would listen to the community and probably create a cool ass mod for it. what do you think?
3:09 is that LARRY CHEN ??!!
I had the same thought haha
For sure is. That is his favorite lens.
Immediately recognized him, it's so weird how this isn't a common occurence with car culture personalities more often.
who?
Bro the yellow Porsche reminds me of Dino's RWB
目頭が熱くなっちゃった・・・Forzaチームの皆様、日本を舞台にゲームを作ってくださり本当にありがとうございます
@Jc-ks5lx cringe
3:43 Ikumi Hasegawa is the DJ for a station?! Hell yeah!🤩
oopsie at 0:59, the moment it snaps into custcene, the GT-R changes into an older model
This looks really peak
THIS is the start of a great the next 5 years 🔥
hii sid
They better not wait 5 years again 🥲
it's gonna be a LOT longer than 5 years bro 😂
FH4 Fred V and Grafix Sunris 4 Seasons Mix will forever be the best :)
@TheRacingMonkeyi thought they said it was the last FH game ?
Was that dude with the Hubble telephoto lens at 3:08 trying to get the blurriest shot of the paint zoomed into oblivion?
田園風景・スキー場・峠、そしてロケット打ち上げ…プロローグとはいえ日本の文化・風景美はよく伝わってきますね～
これは発売日が待ちきれないなぁ
本気で言ってるの？それとも皮肉 😀
What a sarcastic comment 😂😂
This comment sounds like a non-Japanese person who just wanted to translate their comment from English to Japanese 😭
@aokifly6035少なくとも、今まで見てきた海外製ゲームの中ではぶっちぎりで日本をよく再現出来てると思うわ。
4:56 French Guiana from Asphalt 8
Damn many things are just like asphalt 8😂
Ball knowledge 🫡
Brings me back memories...
Elite Knowledge 😎
懐かしい…
3:00 this is Horizon
4:59 That Turbo Spool up though! 🤤
Scott Tyler is back!
great....
@austinprime1297 You don't know peak. He's literally the best host
@austinprime1297 holy cornball
@cooperlittlehales6268 bro people can have opinions, I personally think Amy Simpson from Horzion Pulse is the best host
scotty sounds different...
2:58 love the Initial D reference there. Real ones know.
Queria ter visto gameplay de drift nessa parte. Mas mesmo assim, o jogo está lindo e essa referência foi excelente!
Yeah got me hyped, I just hope they finally update the ae86 model at least at some point during this games life. - seeing they haven’t already
Tf you mean real ones know?
Real ones? My brother in Christ, Initial D is the only thing people are referencing in every comment section 🥀
real ones? you meant almost everyone watching this?
SCOTTY IS BACK BABYYYYY
Forza Horizon isn't Horizon without its DJ Scott Tyler from Bass Arena! LETTTS GOOO
HELL YEAHH
YEAH! I thought he was retiring after finishing FH5's Horizon Quest.
ITS YA BOII SCOTTYYY
As the "superstar" in FH5 once said, "Horizon isn't Horizon without you Scotty" 🥹
The part of the tunnel it's almost was footage directly from a ps2
最高や！
音楽にJ-POPとか入ってきたらさらに熱い
1:26 that marshal is crazy.
searching for this comment
One of the Marshalls looks like an Extra from a Star Wars film! I’m sure he’s supposed to be piloting something! 🤣
3:09, Larry Chen with the Canon R1 & Canon RF 400 f/2.8
I had to go back and look but I think you're actually right! The ball cap and neck scarf are classic Larry haha so cool.
f8 is crazy
@arteonyx autocorrect do weird things, Its an f/2.8 lens
So now it's ingame canon that Larry Chen has a Canon
@Apollo-IsdoinFine It's canon that Larry Chen has a Canon just like in NFS 2015
Forza Horizon 5 - Official Initial Drive Gameplay
5:17 The license plate number “358” is widely favored in Japan because of its connection to a Buddhist legend. What a thoughtful gesture… Thank you, everyone on the team!!
I better see Truck-kun somewhere
Ah yes, the gamemode where you run over pedestrians and get points based on how well they do in their simulated isekai scenario.
@wingedmares 😭
The vibes from the Touge Drive 😍
Heading straight for that bit of road once I get the F80!
If anyone else watching this thinks the audio is really scuffed make sure to turn off RUclips's dogshit 'voice boost' feature in the settings.
I really was dissapointed in the audio thinking they just did an AI dub or something, glad I checked the comments
6:22 Holy sh*t
Real! I’m so excited
What's so exciting about this?
@Cam_Wight Literally everything about that part is exciting 😭
@Cam_WightYea man.... my heart was racing! Maybe it's the weed, but regardless, it was racing! 😂
2:50 finished the race without the procent hitting 100%
Probably because of the new cut scene
Maybe the wind🥀
3:09 Larry Chen spotted
Good spot.
With that lens, the photo is definitely out of focus.
At least it wasn't Rudy Chen.
俺泣いちゃうよこんなん
すごい良い
4:40 throwing a Porsche 993 GT2 to a space station is the typical Forza Horizon tuesday routine.
3:13 Peor aún, apenas prender el auto y comenzar a pisarle con el motor frío😲
0:31 This train is a Shinkansen !!! 😃❤
Sooo cool to see!
Players are going to use it to glitch and launch themselves across the map 😂
This giajin will be legendary in Japan 🙌🏾😂
LARRY MADE IT! 3:18
I SWEAR I WAS LIKE TF
GO LARRY! WHERE LARRY?
Um salve aos brasileirinhos e brasileirinhas que estão ansiosos por pilotar, driftar e voar pelas montanhas do Japão! Só vem FH6, só vem...
3:25
hakone nanamagari pass CONFORMED!!!!
so sick!!!!!!
It’s conformed? Yes it is conformed
2:40 the tires don't have any actual traction, it looks more like it's gliding over the surface.
2:55 NANI?? A INITIAL D REFERENCE
Yeah baby we need a initial d DLC to get the vibe 🔥
FC chasing the 86 right
@ErmWhatTheSleepTHAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THAT THING THEY CALL AN 86 ARE SO UGLY 😭😭
you're banned from playing the game
@TralnboyYh u do not know ball
larry chen has a cameo
fuckkkk yes
with the canon shirt dude.
@5:24 FH1 vibes 😫
That's an insult to FH1...
SHIMA rebirth is the opening track but I can’t find it on any music platform ?
2:35 looks like the rear tyres aren't touching the ground.
Yes as if floating
@mbl6699nah bru, as if swimming
I'm really hoping this is a console capture cause the raytraced shadows and Ambient Occlusion seems to be at minimum and look way worse than FH5 on PC. I'm pretty sure this was created for the Neanderthals that still have consoles so it doesn't look better than what they're gonna get. The PC master race expects better.
Yup, that was the first actual negative thing I noticed, it looks clean otherwise
It’s not even leaving tracks, the map looks the same too smh. Microsoft
FHシリーズのオープニングレースは全部最高。
5:20 Nice grass and bushes render distance 😂
I can't unsee that now 😂😭
i'll join with Evolution IV (CN9A) [bunta car]
makes sense when you look at the required PC specs.
It looks fine
Xbox is at it’s Limits
3:44 The radio host sounds like March 7th's VA, Yui Ogura
日本人が日本を舞台にしたゲームにツッコミを入れないという事が、どれだけ凄いかを開発は誇ってください。
イギリス在住のポーランド人として、日本について直接的な知識は全くありません。これまでのところ、このゲームについて何か気になる点があれば教えていただけますか？
@morfoza_mfzトレイラーやプロモーションビデオて見る限りUIやUXはこれから良くなってくでしょうし、グラフィックもこの手のジャンルでは頂点に近いから文句も無いです。
正直非の打ち所が無いのが悩ましい、本当に小さなことだろうと思いますが、山道があるのなら車一台しか通れない獣道とかも各所にあれば雰囲気抜群ですね。ラリーカーを走らせるにはもってこいですし♪
PS5版を買う予定なので遅くはなりますが楽しみにしてます！
@morfoza_mfz中国が混ざった龍や、わざとらしい鳥居がない時点で既に高評価です。リアリティ求めるなら道幅はもっと狭い、日本の走り屋に人気な峠は車幅ギリギリの二車線、場所によっては1.5、1車線が多いけど、それで失敗したゲームがあるから仕方ないと思う。レースゲームとして成立させながら日本舞台のクオリティも良い、非常に期待できる
@morfoza_mfz
Cars 2やMidnight Club、motorfestみたいに、過度なネオンや不自然な位置に乱立する文化建築のような派手さは実際の日本にはありません。
それと個人的にですが、ビルや看板に書かれている日本語の意味が実際の建物に書かれていても不自然じゃないものばかりなのが感動しました。(ビルに広告が矛盾なく掲載されていたり、小さいお店のような建物にラーメンと書かれていたり等。)
他のゲームではなぜかオフィスビルに「スピード」とか「ドリフト」など何故そこにその単語だけを載せた？と思うような変な日本語が多かったのです。
@morfoza_mfz
車のナンバー「日本」表記だけだと雑に国名ラベル貼った感じで。
Forza Horizon 6 みたいな作品で日本舞台なら、むしろ地域ナンバー文化を活かしてほしいです。
