The fellas are back, and Forza still stinks! We return from an unplanned hiatus with some important topics to analyze. Here’s a list of the main topics of discussion!

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Review
Aren gives his initial feelings on a Forza alternative, TDU Solar Crown. This is a game we have discussed in the past, and if you are unfamilliar, it is worth listening to Aren contrast the game with Forza Horizon.

Amazon Hires Former Forza Devs For New Competitor Game
Here we go! Our prayers are answered in the form of Amazon hiring Forza executives and devs from the golden years to create a new Forza competitor available on all platforms, including PS5. Interestingly, it is story-based, and the head scriptwriter is the creator of the TV show ‘Skins’ (!). Jason seems to think this game could kill Forza as we know it. A great listen.

Forza Coming to PlayStation 5
Yup! You read that correctly. There have been credible reports that state Microsoft is exploring the port of Forza Horizon 5 to Sony's PlayStation 5. With a number of Microsoft exclusives recently ported to PS5, there is a growing belief Forza is next, and Halo may not be far behind either.
Forza Horizon 6 Potentially In Germany
As seen on our Instagram, we discuss the potential for FH6 to be based in Germany. This is way down the road, but is something we are confident enough to share, as we believe at the very least this option has been heavily explored by Turn 10 Studios.

This Game Still Stinks
Part of the unplanned hiatus had to do with the lacklustre updates for Forza Horizon 5 and the monstrous flop that is the Forza Motorsport reboot. Simply put, there hasn't been much to talk about, and both games are not very good. However, over the past few weeks, there has been a welcome amount of news (thank god) and we think this momentum will build.

Also, Aren is working at a Porsche dealership again - nature is healing! Enjoy all of these topics and more on this episode of the Forza World Podcast.

SPECIAL EDITION EPISODE: The show you've all been waiting for - our most negative and critical yet! In classic Forza World style, we tell you the straight dope: the newest Forza Motorsport game is a hot piece of trash that was rushed along with no regard for the fans. We dive into details, explaining some of the hot topics in the community and major pain points, along with a few other issues that we haven't seen anyone mention (yet). We talk about the booty cheeks car upgrade system, the nauseating vinyl editor, the recycled poo-poo car modelling that is older than the Obama administration, the braindead AI drivers, and even more. There are a very small number of positive takeaways. The first is the physics; they are nothing short of exceptional, and it is honestly a very real (and only) reason to give this game a try. The second is that we have some news we would like to share about Fujimi Kaido. We jump into it later in the show, it's something we have been excited to share with you all, and hopefully it's a breath of fresh air for a lot of frustrated Forza Fans. If you share our discontent with the launch, this is the show for you!

No segments this week because it's a special edition show, and our longest episode ever.

In just one week, the new Forza Motorsport game will be launched, and we break down what we're hearing and seeing so far about the game. We dive into some concerns we have with the rollout and promotion, specifically issues with the Premium Edition and the Add-On version. Jason raises some very valid points on behalf of all disc owners who want premium, and Aren discusses the pointlessness of the early access incentive. Among many other concerns with the point of pre-ordering the game, we examine what you get with the Premium Edition: VIP, the car packs, bonus credits, and more all go under the microscope, so if you are looking to upgrade, listen to this first. Aside from Motorsport talk, we chat about the latest Forza Horizon 5 update, the release of the wonderful Crew Motorfest, and we even have a bonus Puma merch review, featuring some great stuff from Porsche, Mercedes, and BMW, along with even better reactions to close out the show. Complaint Corner is yet another valid yet spirited rant, and F*** That Car returns this week, only this time, it's for a specific engine (note that Jason is stupid and meant rubber Oil Pump Drive Belt, not rubber timing chain). Enjoy Episode 16 of the Forza World Podcast!
