I don't think earning money will be an issue in FM5. By the sounds of things, you'll be earning Credits by the truckload

so difficult in 3, easy in 4, easier in 5?
I like that hahaha
i'm sitting on 50 mill pretty at the moment, too bad you can't convert money from 3 to 4, and then 4 to 5, i'd have a solid 250 mill now

[LMP Dragon]

I am currently on 154 million on FM4, 102 million on Forza 3, so does that mean I will be on 206 million on Forza 5 when I am able to race?

[theboomeranga]

unfortunately no, nothing is being converted from 4 to 5

A job posting appears to suggest a sequel to last year's well-received open-world racer Forza Horizon is on the way. An agency job posting for unnamed Midlands-based racing developer matching much of the text of an opening on Playground's site word for word mentions that the studio is "working on the next edition of their successful racing title."

Additionally, on their CVs, Playground's creative director and studio director says they are "working on an exciting unannounced title for Xbox One," perhaps further suggesting the studio is handling Forza Horizon 2. All the contract positions on Playground's site specify a length of about nine months for contract work. Given that and the two year cycles for mainline Forza Motorsport titles, it does not seem unreasonable to venture the spinoff sequel could land sometime in 2014, sandwiched between this year's Forza Motorsport 5 and a likely Forza Motorsport 6 in 2015.

Playground is also starting up a mobile games development team, according to a handful of openings on its careers page. The openings don't offer much insight into what sort of mobile titles Playground will work on, but one posting does specifically mention the studio is looking for candidates with Unity experience.

I bet that will have a day/night cycle

If FH2 does exist, i seriously hope for a larger map and a true MMO style to it. (ala TestDrive Unlimited/2) I don't see how it cannot be done if it's already been done on the 360!!!!

[Ax4x Kane]

Test Drive is awesome. The only thing I hated about TDU2 was the daft character customisation. I don't care about clothes, plastic surgery or what my house looks like, that's what the Sims is for! Anyway, I digress.

FH2 needs a massive map and no invisible walls or concrete bushes. And perhaps put a race track (Maple Valley?) in the map somewhere so we could do 'track days'. Should create a wish list thread now. Got some ideas floating around.

that's an awesome idea!!
why aren't you working for PG?

[Ax4x Kane]

Kinda stole the idea from Test Drive 2. They had a number of race tracks dotted around the islands that represented real world circuits. Some belters in there as well.

[LMR DarthMario]

(cannot view your link there kilroy, even if i used Chrome)

yeah, was shocked when i started finding them. Definitely remember they weren't marked on the map(s) of Ibiza/Oahu until you found them.

[nickyf1]

TDU felt more 'free' than Horizon. Horizon felt a bit ''nfs undergroundy'' in terms of free roam.

[LMR DarthMario]

precisely Nicky. that's why i loved the TDU series, albeit the unnecessary "The Sims" achievements/additions to TDU2. as i stated before, if there is to be an FH2, they better step it up and match or better what Atari and their group did with TDU while still in the early years of the Current-Gen console

Just read the Week In Review and apparantly there will be "big" Forza 5 news next week but the Author couldn't say anything else. Could this be the whole "all information released" thing or it could be something about DLC and Software Specs...

[Standaman94]

It'll probably be just a little bit more information on the game, like cars and tracks, new game modes and stuff. Then in the following weeks until the game's release they'll announce more cars and tracks.

[LMR DarthMario]

maybe a stripped down version of the Demo available on the 360?!

[LMR Sahara]

What can we do to our enviorment to save the global crisis with CO2 emmisions produced by cars?

[Ax4x Bandit]

Rumor has it that a massive Infodump of forza 5 news is coming out this week

Zakspeed already mentioned it.

Everyone still knows what you originally posted.

Forza 5 Limited Edition has been announced, not sure if it is different from the Day One Edition (I assume it is) with a new Audi on the front cover and the Audi R18 E-Tron thingy.

[F4H Lotterer]

OMG ITS THE FCUKING E TRON QUATTRO  

[Standaman94]

http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-US/news/FM5_LE_Announce

Only the VIP Pack with the Limited Edition Game get new cars, Day One and Limited Edition packs are just repainted cars.

Also, a playable version of FM5 will be available at Gamescom

[Richy59]

Does the VIP pack come in the LCE then?

[CQR Myles]

Does it come with a Lamborghini Gallardo like Saints Row 4's Wad Wad Edition? http://gamerant.com/saints-row-4-wad-edition-1-million-dollars/
