Looks decent.

And Forza on PS5, how times change.

I saw a video in my recommendation last night where Playground Games were talking through some of the new stuff. Looks like it's returning to the wrist bands approach from the earlier games, which control what cars you can race etc. So probably a bit more progression based than some of the recent games. Some of the things sounded a bit like the old TDU and GTA 5 online approach of building up your own garage and designing it etc. No idea if that's a good addition or not, but I guess we'll see.

I'm glad it's coming earlier in the year. Horizon 5 has been stale for a long time now and I'd given up on Motorsport not long after it came out.

Edit - It was on IGN:

Looks great, I hope it’s decent and they’ve listened to the criticism of the last couple of games.

I just thought horizon 5 was a bit average. Should have been better than 4, probably is in every measurable way, just didn’t enjoy it that much.

The last motorsport was immensely disappointing, I don’t think I ever put more than a few hours on it. Again, a shame as I’ve probably spent an embarrassing amount of time on nearly all of the previous versions.

Everything since the UK based Horizon has been shit. Think I stopped with the last Motorsport after a week. At least it’s all on game pass so no real money was wasted.

I love Japan but I’m refraining from getting too excited.

Motorsport was terrible. Everything just understeers. Wheel support was terrible as well. No feel through the wheel.

Ive never really enjoyed any of the Horizon games. I just didn't feel they had any online appeal.

Motorsport was that rubbish I actually bought a PS5 and GT7.

I'll probably wait until this comes to PS5 as I prefer my Thrust master wheel on the PS to the Logitech one on the Xbox.

Ah, I thought the understeer was my driving!
