Forza Horizon 5 Developer QA Session

The answer is Mike Brown, Forza Horizon 5 creative director of Playground Games.

About the new race type

There are many new race activities.For example, the Horizon Tour is often played in the Playground Games office.Participate in a small group in a small group of co -op, competing for the DRIVATAR (AI) team and championship.Mode that emphasizes that you can get started and relax and enjoy.

Is off -road running on an off -road car?Can you run the jungle with a hypercar?

You are free to enjoy off -road with a hypercar.Of course, there are off -road cars.Although it is accessible as appropriate, handling is determined by simulation, including the type and condition of the road surface.For example, one of this cover car, Ford Bronco's Ford Bronko's car, like his band -runs 2021, is suitable for bad roads, including the jungle, and AMB One is more suitable on paved roads.

Development for Xbox Series X | S.How do you interact with Turn 10 in the Forza Motorsport series?

Speaking of creators, the development of Xbox Series X | S was a great experience.He packed everything and was able to build a very realistic world in appearance and feel.

Almost all technologies of Playground Games are based on a partnership with Turn 10 and share the latest technology.The developed technology can be useful for both games.

What is the change to the new rule "Eliminator" introduced in the previous work?(Survival mode where the lower ranks fall off with the aim of the so -called Battrois, aiming at the destination that changes one after another one after another).

The eliminator is alive.Although the system has been modified a little, the major difference this time is that the map was able to make a map in consideration of the eliminator.The Eliminator was added one year after the launch of FH4, but this time it was possible to consider the eliminator at the time of building the world.For example, the last zone is a volcanic crater.

The hardships of reproducing Mexico

The largest size in the series history.It was a difficult challenge to prepare 11 biomes such as deserts and jungles.Rather than suddenly switching with a certain line, it was difficult for each of them to melt together, such as various vegetation and roads.

In addition to the Palid Lueda murals that have already been released, the elements that convey Mexico culture and art.

There are seven mural artists.Providing songs including new songs and licensed songs from Mexican musicians.Mexican actors and writers also participated to convey real Mexico.There is also a survey team based on Mexico.

The seasonal element is

There is a season in this work.It changes every week as FH4.It is quite different from the UK, such as the dry season and the rainy season.The season is an important factor.

About physics

In the previous work FH4, we used a well -precise handling model, but the physical model was greatly enhanced.After three years from the previous work, I took time to simulate physical simulation.In particular, enhanced suspension behavior simulation.It was much closer to the actual car than the previous work.

It is easy to think that driving will be difficult when the simulation becomes real, but it is actually easier to grasp the behavior and it is easier to run.The brake behavior while driving at high speed has also become more accurate.

About the number of cars included

At the moment, accurate numbers cannot be given, but hundreds of units.The number of units at the time of release is more than any other title in the past.From next week, a new vehicle will be released.

What is the behavior of mud?How long will you jump?

There are several types of mud, and the bone is different.Some 3D mud, which greatly deforms, and some thin muds that remain ruts.

About cover car

One is AMG One.A hypercar that Mercedes introduced F1 technology to a vehicle that can drive on public roads.(Note: about 300 million yen).

As a new function of the game, there is a drive mode that can be switched on the switch.Many cars have a sports mode in which the displacement increases and the handling changes.In the case of AMG ONE, as in the case of the actual vehicle, the flaps in various parts of the body open and the wing rises, and the performance changes drastically.

The other is 2021 Ford Bronco Bad Lands.This is the hottest SUV this year, the perfect one for running in the jungle and wilderness.

Did you be conscious of avoiding stereotypes when drawing Mexico in a game?Did you actually cover it?

I was serious about drawing culture and was careful not to fall into a stereotype.Fortunately, the development period had been three years, so she was able to report directly directly before traveling on COVID.

In the process, he met many local experts, and said after he could not visit directly.I always interacted with excellent local staff, including photographers, guides, and acoustic teams, and had photos, videos, and audio as needed, and examined the real thing and developed it.

For example, different environmental sounds for each biome.He consulted with a Mexican scriptwriter and cultural consultant to prevent the stereotype of Mexico.When the Mexican player actually plays, it is conveyed that it was made with affection seriously so that it could be thought of as a real Mexico.

Where did you progress from FH4 with graphics?About Xbox Series X | S.

Xbox Series X | S improves the quality of all assets, lighting, and shadows.Light racing has been introduced in Folzaba Vista (in a mode to appreciate the car in the garage).

Regarding Series X and S, the graphic quality should be almost the same, except that X is 4K and S is 1080p resolution.There is a leisure in S.

COVID disability

I don't mean that game development was the most difficult as people around the world were affected.Since we are a team that gathers people who are good at solving problems, we have prepared a remote development environment with the one at hand and solved it every time.

The charm for non -racing fans.Priority other than the fixed fan of the genre

A very nice question.FORZA HORIZON 5 is an open world driving game, so many races are packed, but players who don't want to race are okay.You need to do a showcase event at the beginning, but after that you can play without participating in the race and proceed with the game.

You can explore the world, find a board, participate in stunts, and proceed with the main story with activities other than racing.I learned many elements from other open world games.

About the creative mode event lab released in the E3 video.Can you form a course other than the stadium?

The stadium is a place prepared as a blank canvas without an obstacle.Other than that, you can build your own courses, buildings, and games everywhere.Depending on the location, there are invisible hit judgments, such as there are spectators, and some areas are difficult to install.In principle, event lab tools can be used everywhere.

Event labs are a rule editor that not only installs courses and obstacles, but can control advanced control.Although it is an exaggeration such as script language, it is based on a tool for developers to make games.

Write it in a combination of the rules that this flag stands.After destroying an obstacle, overtaking someone, displaying a message with a flag, playing the sound, jumping a car, giving a bonus.Developers can't imagine what the community makes.Very fun.

What did you learn from past games and use it in Forza Horizon 5?

The campaign has been greatly evolved after learning from the past.How to proceed with the game, give the player a wide freedom, and at the same time, always present your goals and what you do.What I learned from FH4.In this work, the progress and progress of the whole game are easier to understand.
