I know a lot of people are unhappy with the way that some of the new cars in FH5 are presented as “new”, when in reality, they were previously featured in at least FH4. I know that they should instead be in the Autoshow since the beggining. However, I have a theory as to why Playground games are rec…

In this thread: Lots of people who don’t know what licensing is, or how it works. Cars get re-used because it’s easy. New cars don’t always get added (or hell, some older cars get taken away) because licensing is a thing that they have ZERO control over. Just look at the lack of Fiats, etc. We kno…

Yes. It has been in FM from the beginning and is in Toyota’s Japanese and German museums. The only argument I read before is that is would have to be X class, but the road car has a lower spoiler, catalytic coverter and street tires so would surely be an S2 and fit very well into that class. That’s…

I will say it’s definitely not a licensing issue with the Mazdaspeed 3 or the Mitsubishi Galant. They are both in the game already… Just only as traffic cars.

We don’t know the details of the licensing, the stipulations, and requirements… e.g.: maybe the actual reason we see so many recycled cars in these games is because the licensing for those vehicles was or are easier to acquire and maintain, or were contracted for the perpetuity of the franchise, no…

It’s due to limited number working on updating each car from FH4 to have paintable brake calipers. I’d have shot myself by now if it was my job.

You do raise a valid point from my POV, yes they should’ve been in the game from launch but there are possible licensing issues for cars we really would want but considering FH6 is a good few years away, that gives PG time get in the cars that are either returning or what we want and it should give …

Thanks, Max. I have said I consider and believe more strongly other reasons for it not being there and I still do not believe licensing issues alone are the chief reason it’s never been in the FH series. :+1:

Pull some people off dress up, emotes, and other nonsense. That way it remains a car game. The Whaaa is strong at times, but the Whyyy is stronger. Max on point as usual. Thank you

@Sfumato720 Please read this again. Development staffing does not work that way.

Lack of sponsors does not mean lack of licensing requirement. There are repeated baseless assumptions in this thread by users who should know better by now, so once again read this: Manufacturer Bias - #20 by T10ManteoMax
