This game looks incredible! Can't really say the same for Halo lol, but who knows. What say you, SW? Is there any other game coming out this holiday to give FH5 a run for its money in the graphics department? Horizon Zero Dawn 2 is not out this holiday so I'm going go with no.

Best looking game..period

MSFS may be bigger on scale but it's a shootout between the 2 on what is the best looking game ever.

FH5 wins it for me

Same here, but maybe not day one, depending on how much I'm playing at the time :)

Already have it listed on Steam and it's a day 1 purchase for me. FH5 almost rivals MSFS.

Yeah it’s definitely looking that way. The Horizon games have always looked great so this isn’t terribly surprising. I’m definitely looking forward to this one and driving all throughout Mexico.

Call of Duty Vanguard is more impressive. But FH5 still looks great.

It was a nice surprise for me that this once (and with AOE IV) MS did not do regional pricing.

So it's cheaper than their other games, and cheaper than FH 4 in fact.

I hovered over that buy button, but haven't bitten the bullet yet :p

I used to think driveclub looked really good on base PS4. This game looks good, as expected from a racing game.

Call me blind, but i don't really see what's so impressive about Horizon5. Its a racing game, racing games are always good looking. Good looking cars and environment is what's in every racing game. How about having weather effects that were impossible on the 8th gen systems? Why do they always push car polys but not something that will help the game look more photorealistic, such as weather?

All these years later, and Driveclub still does it better🤷‍♂️

One is running on cellphone cpu and a gpu from 1997, while the other game is running on good specs. Graphics and scale is not important. My point is weather, and its not better in horizon5.

I haven't seen the weather effects on the cars in Horizon 5 but if weather graphics were that important, then the game wouldn't have flopped. 😈

I played a bit of MSFS the other day for the first time and honestly it's not my type of game. I didn't enjoy it. Graphically, the game looked pretty damn good but that's about it in my opinion...lol.

Lemmings realize this is a Cross-gen game right? Sorry, but this doesn't look better than Rachet and Clank. Lems using a upgraded Xbox 1 game is hilarious.

This game is probably gonna be like The Medium, Psychonauts and Flight Sim. Lems hype it up, but less than 48h after its out, nobody remembers it was even released. If its not a Sony exclusive, it has no staying power. It is what it is, and you, as a lem, you must accept that.

@hardwenzen: flight Sim is a simulator, its not a game lol. Theres articles about people trying to mod msfs20 into Mario kart style because end of the day, it's not a game. It's not something you will sink tens of hours into in a week, theres no real goals. Maybe one day you feel like flying, then you run the game for a couple of hours. It will have tons of staying power, since there's no real game mechanics, there is no real ending. Gamers will be playing it years into the future until MS decides to release the next iteration. Since it took MS almost 12 years since the last release, don't expect a new one anytime soon either. You bash psychonauts and medium but millions or people will play it over the xbox lifetime. On top of that, neither of those games are xbox exclusive. Medium is releasing on ps5 next month. Psychonauts is on ps5 I think

What exclusives on ps have staying power??

How about all of them? TLOU2 is constantly being talked about. There's an overflow of Returnal in every few threads. GoW2018 is still super popular to this day. Etc etc. You simply don't get this on the Xbox. Everything comes out and is almost instantly forgotten. They're a forgettable experiences not worth remembering.

And don't try to make a point about the flight sim being a sim or the medium coming out to the ps5 almost a year later. When the medium came out, it was an exclusive and hyped to oblivion. Two days later, and nobody remembered it was even released. With the flight sim, it was dead in under 24h, even tho it was hyped by every lem in here. Imagining hyping a flight sim to begin with. How desperate🥴

Your missing out on really fun game. A Kids game lol grow up man. I bet kena bridge of spirits is a kids game to you. Try ratchet and clank ps4 its a free download and tell me your not hooked on the game play.

Racing games don't always have good environments. The GT series usually has pretty lackluster environments full of 2d crowds and sprite trees. Horizon 5 is a pretty big step up in terms of environmental detail.

You are right that DrivClub still has some of the best whether effects, but overall Horizon 5 is the better looking game.

I mean, the last few GT games felt like half an effort kind of games. We haven't gotten a real GT game in a very long time, and back then, the evironment looked very good for its time. But yes, of course Horizon5 looks better than Driveclub (which did not look very good for its time even compared to NFS Shift). Weather, tho, i don't understand why nobody focuses on that. It looks cool, and because its barely to ever used, it looks unique. They could do a lot with current cpu's, but they somehow aren't doing anything. Wet roads is as far as it goes when it comes to weather🤭
