The outstanding new detail and sharpness of Quality Mode plays into a substantial improvement in the fidelity and subtlety of the imageвЂ™s colours, too. Losing the wing mirrors of your prized Aston Martin is an experience that never fails to make you wince. Unfortunately the improved physics have also extended to bits that actually fall off your car. Or if you run into a pile of barrels or even the occasional clothes rack outside someoneвЂ™s house, these things will either disintegrate or get pushed around much more extensively and realistically. So now, for instance, branches of trees drop with startlingly realistic вЂphysicsвЂ™ around you when a tree or bush decides to position itself in front of your hurtling car. More happens in FH5 when you вЂinteractвЂ™ with (that is, crash into) the immediate environment, too. Just as importantly for a car game based as much on exploration as racing, though, FH5вЂ™s remarkable detailing also delivers the goods if you happen to be cruising around soaking up the environment at pretty much walking speed. Really high speeds felt a little cartoony on previous iterations, but not any more.

ItвЂ™s startling, too, how much of a difference this makes to the sense of speed you feel as youвЂ™re pushing a Koenigsegg Agera RS to 270mph and more.

Near environments look even more lifelike in Quality mode than they did on Forza Horizon 4, too, getting the game even closer to the photorealism thatвЂ™s such a massive part of the franchiseвЂ™s appeal. But it also makes near objects вЂ“ including the all-important cars вЂ“ look much more detailed, three-dimensional, realistic and beautiful than theyвЂ™ve looked before. This stunningly consistent native resolution in Quality Mode contributes to a greater sense of depth to the beautiful Mexican scenery, as the horizon that gives the game its name can be rendered further before вЂfogging outвЂ™.
