WELL HELLO THERE. (Oo)_____(oO)

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

A-ha! I did wonder if PG would do the possibly controversial move of locking FH4 cars (some free) in the paid expansion - but instead, it looks like the returning cars (Dually, 2 Jet Z, Nash, Rip Rod) are going to be the Series 9 playlist free rewards instead. Noice!

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

- The Nash
- Ford F-5 Dually Custom
- 2 Jet Z (all three from the Legends car pack)
- Corkscrew Buggy (another one based on a real-life replica)
- 1970 Pontiac Firebird (another Legends Tour winner)
- Rip Rod
- 2005 Ford Mustang (both the above from past games)

The whole map, even - it's like someone at Playground reviewed Thrilltopia from FH3, and thought "hmm, how about that again, but what if also more Pandora from Avatar, and a dollop of MegaRace 2?".

...and then they went and put the Venom F5 on it - *that's* going to melt brains!

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

Some quick predictions for some of the FH5 expansion cars, ahead of the Microsoft showcase - we've already seen the Deora II and Bad to the Blade, and I'm assuming 8-10 cars in total for this expansion, in keeping with previous expansions.

New festival site looks aces, too - like how it's suspended in the air (I'm going to accidentally drive off that *so* many times, aren't I? 🤪).

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

Hi @SaintsRow! A bit of early feedback: would it be possible to add visible setting numbers to the Build Triangle? It's something the older games had, and it makes sharing/fine-tuning characters a lot easier! 🙂

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

To think, in just a few months, there'll be a new Saints Row game for the first time in nearly a decade...

(...just *thinking* that is going to get it delayed into 2023, isn't it?🤐)

Alice: Moistness Returns

@ForzaHorizon Mine has to be the (checks notes) ...Vocho? 🤨

(joking aside, I'd be up for some retro-styled electric cars in Forza Horizon - Ora Punk Cat, Honda e, Alpha WOLF, etc.)

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

@Hockenheimring Oh, and then some! 😅

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

Cursed thought (if you're reading this, congrats: it's your problem now, too!):

It's only a matter of time before we get "the official Star Trek en-eff-tee collection", isn't it? 😬

"A lot has changed in three hundred years. People are no longer obsessed with the accumulation of "things". We have eliminated hunger, want, the need for possessions. We have grown out of our infancy."

@Voodoo_Hendrix Tbf, the difference is that where you can play GTA V just fine on new consoles without forking out more money just for a res/fps boost, there's no way to play 3 or VC on Xbox without ...owning an original Xbox. This is the first/only re-release of those in almost two decades - !

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

Looks like they've gone with the MSO option packs for the GT (carbon interior pack, black exterior pack) - although I still long for the day when Forza Horizon gets the option to choose interior colours.

Black works great for most things, but red leather in a Countach? Gimme!

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

Ooh, nice - that's one off the wishlist, then! 😋

(hopefully there's another GT waiting in the wings, too - namely, the RS e-tron GT...)

[Forza Horizon @ForzaHorizon]

Driven by @McLarenAuto DNA, the GT defies limits.

A supercar turned grand tourer, the GT's twin-turbocharged V8 engine makes it an ideal choice for exploring Mexico coast-to-coast.

McLaren's first dedicated grand tourer is #NewToForza.

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

(fwiw, I can't think of many games that'd force me to go out and buy a shiny new console, but "Monster Hunter: ______" on PS5/XSX/XSS definitely would - can't imagine missing out on that at launch, after how much of a treat World/Iceborne turned out to be)

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

MHR: Sunbreak reveal random thoughts (as someone who doesn't own a Switch, and thus is jelly):

- place your bets as to which new monsters stick around in future games!

- that's 2022's MonHun entry sorted, so ...2023 for 6th-gen/follow-up to World (9th-gen consoles, RE engine)?

[The Commander @Cmdr_S]

Goodness, everything about Sable looks so inviting, doesn't it?

(...and I've got to wait until the end of next week to play it - life is pain... 😣)
