So 7 months

Like other posters above, Iāve learned my lesson, no more Ultimate package purchases. Lego and Hot Wheels are not what I consider good DLC. Storm Island, Fortune Island were small(er) but had a bigger impact on a ācar gameā imho. Particularly with Mexico being devoid of snowy roads and the challenge that posed for those of us using wheelsā¦

I will try this DLC, paid for it anyway, and have an honest look before giving an opinion.
Af first glance however, not my cup of tea, just like HW in FH3 wasnāt. Way to arcade for my taste. I just do not like those rollercoaster toylike car tracks. I prefer roads. That being said I had great fun with the Lego Champs in FH4, but would not like to see a repetition of that as DLC 2.

I am with you on this. It looks like tons of fun and it adds a lot to the game. Assuming theyāll go for a more ārealisticā expansion for the second DLC this actually seems really good.
Also, I never played FH3, so I havenāt experienced the Hot Wheels expansion
Youāve clearly never had to deal with EA or Ubisoft support. There are worse things than just being ignored.

Iāll admit I didnāt hate the last one, but I also didnāt ever revisit it after completing everything on the map. Iām bummed a bit, but meh whatever.
More like 8 months by the time it releases if you count November, which, in this case, I do.

Iām pretty happy that they seem to have taken the Hot Wheels expansion to the next level compared to FH3.
More track types with magnetic, rumble, ice and water plume. More areas to drive off-track.
A larger map with more biomes. More snow than we have on the main map.
80 snappable track pieces for eventlab and even players that donāt own the expansion will be able to race on user created Hot Wheels tracks that are made on the main map.
Plus, we donāt know all of the details so there may be some surprises. I want more details on the part about starting out in B class and working your way up to X class. Maybe weāll find out more at the extended showcase tomorrow.
These things are why Iām ignoring the drive-by lazy rehash posts.

Car list. Still kinda meh for me, but
They just released a good hot wheels game! There is no need for this. What is needed is new roads to drive on and I donāt mean dumb orange plastic ones.
I donāt think there is anything wrong with Hot Wheelsā¦but itās already been done in a previous game, and it goes against the grain of what the Horizon series is about (open world real locations with better-than-arcade car handling physics, playable with a joypad or a wheel depending on how you want to experience the game).
Iāll reserve judgement until the DLC ships but it was a sigh of disappoint when the announcement dropped, for me anyhow.
If the actual DLC looks anything close to the demo video they provided, it looks pretty cool, and I will invest in itās purchase.
That is a BIG If . . .though . .

They have ensured that I wonāt be buying another ultimate edition, I am aware that you buy it without knowing the expansions, but after lego and now this I donāt see myself spending blindly again until I know what it will be.
Iāll have to wait until I actually play it for a full opinion but I donāt see my original thoughts changing drastically, good quality, enjoyable and better than FH3ās but still at itās core the same basic premise that was here only 5 years ago.
Regardless of how good it is I canāt ignore the last part of the above sentence when there is so many types of cultures, vehicle types + race disciplines in existence for a car game to branch off into, to have all that choice available only to pick to go down the same road is poor + so lacking in creativity for a game that only does 2 of these per entry, and chronologically FH3ās HW was only 3 expansions ago.
Iām sorry but I just do not have it in me to mindlessly consume a product + spin everything associated with it as a positive, underneath the additions + differences from FH3ās itās still the same foundation, a HW themed map with HW tracks + roads that will give players a HW style of driving + stunts and a bunch of HW cars added to go along with it.
None of the new stuff + mechanics changes that fundamentally that is what we are getting for a 2nd time + what the main selling point of the expansion is.

You know itās been 10 years since the original Forza took us to Colorado. I guess Iām a dreamer to think that to celebrate this milestone they might have made a DLC that went back to where it all began. But you know itās all about getting those Fortnight players and their $$$$. Not the āOld Dog Grey Beardsā that were here at the start and followed them to France/Italy then Australia to England and now to Mexico. Thatās it old timers, PGG has spoken we donāt matter anymore.

You already see people whining about rehashed content with this Hot Wheels expansion and theyād be whining even more if the next expansion was Colorado, even if it was their dream expansion.

Note: We incorrectly stated that the 2019 Italdesign DaVinci Concept is included in Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels. Instead, the 1993 Schuppan 962CR is coming in the expansion. We have corrected this in the article.
