? Maybe they started with some codebase of fh2 but it’s not an 8 year old engine. They have lots of new stuff in, DirectStorage dont know lots of games using this stuff it’s rly new. They used it before it was even released, thats the MS bonus. The new volumetric stuff and so on.
Even in FH4 it was already impressive, streaming the stuff in 4k and maintaining solid framerate while driving at 300km/h. They know what they are doing and they beat other racing games easy. There is some details most of the ppl never notice but it’s in and it’s nice to see the stuff (if u see it). PGG on other side has talented artists u can find these ppl in the internet (or even ingame for ex Don Arceta Art Director playing with eventlab 476-990-998) and see their stuff… In theory they can make the best racinggame ever…
But all the other stuff “NeverEvolvingBoringWorld”, some outsourced things, gameplay, online, racing game without “racing” and all the small bugs becoming lots of never fixed bugs… idk
