Back From a Hiatus: Forza Coming to PlayStation, Solar Crown Review, FH6 in Germany!
The fellas are back, and Forza still stinks! We return from an unplanned hiatus with some important topics to analyze. Here’s a list of the main topics of discussion!Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown ReviewAren gives his initial feelings on a Forza alternative, TDU Solar Crown. This is a game we have discussed in the past, and if you are unfamilliar, it is worth listening to Aren contrast the game with Forza Horizon.Amazon Hires Former Forza Devs For New Competitor GameHere we go! Our prayers are answered in the form of Amazon hiring Forza executives and devs from the golden years to create a new Forza competitor available on all platforms, including PS5. Interestingly, it is story-based, and the head scriptwriter is the creator of the TV show ‘Skins’ (!). Jason seems to think this game could kill Forza as we know it. A great listen.Forza Coming to PlayStation 5Yup! You read that correctly. There have been credible reports that state Microsoft is exploring the port of Forza Horizon 5 to Sony's PlayStation 5. With a number of Microsoft exclusives recently ported to PS5, there is a growing belief Forza is next, and Halo may not be far behind either. Forza Horizon 6 Potentially In GermanyAs seen on our Instagram, we discuss the potential for FH6 to be based in Germany. This is way down the road, but is something we are confident enough to share, as we believe at the very least this option has been heavily explored by Turn 10 Studios.This Game Still StinksPart of the unplanned hiatus had to do with the lacklustre updates for Forza Horizon 5 and the monstrous flop that is the Forza Motorsport reboot. Simply put, there hasn't been much to talk about, and both games are not very good. However, over the past few weeks, there has been a welcome amount of news (thank god) and we think this momentum will build.Also, Aren is working at a Porsche dealership again - nature is healing!

Forza Motorsport Is Absolute Booty Cheeks & Fujimi Kaido Is Returning
SPECIAL EDITION EPISODE: The show you've all been waiting for - our most negative and critical yet! In classic Forza World style, we tell you the straight dope: the newest Forza Motorsport game is a hot piece of trash that was rushed along with no regard for the fans. We dive into details, explaining some of the hot topics in the community and major pain points, along with a few other issues that we haven't seen anyone mention (yet). We talk about the booty cheeks car upgrade system, the nauseating vinyl editor, the recycled poo-poo car modelling that is older than the Obama administration, the braindead AI drivers, and even more. There are a very small number of positive takeaways. The first is the physics; they are nothing short of exceptional, and it is honestly a very real (and only) reason to give this game a try. The second is that we have some news we would like to share about Fujimi Kaido. We jump into it later in the show, it's something we have been excited to share with you all, and hopefully it's a breath of fresh air for a lot of frustrated Forza Fans. If you share our discontent with the launch, this is the show for you! No segments this week because it's a special edition show, and our longest episode ever.InstagramFacebookTwitterTikTok

Forza Motorsport Preview, Premium Add-Ons Review, and More
In just one week, the new Forza Motorsport game will be launched, and we break down what we're hearing and seeing so far about the game. We dive into some concerns we have with the rollout and promotion, specifically issues with the Premium Edition and the Add-On version. Jason raises some very valid points on behalf of all disc owners who want premium, and Aren discusses the pointlessness of the early access incentive. Among many other concerns with the point of pre-ordering the game, we examine what you get with the Premium Edition: VIP, the car packs, bonus credits, and more all go under the microscope, so if you are looking to upgrade, listen to this first. Aside from Motorsport talk, we chat about the latest Forza Horizon 5 update, the release of the wonderful Crew Motorfest, and we even have a bonus Puma merch review, featuring some great stuff from Porsche, Mercedes, and BMW, along with even better reactions to close out the show. Complaint Corner is yet another valid yet spirited rant, and F*** That Car returns this week, only this time, it's for a specific engine (note that Jason is stupid and meant rubber Oil Pump Drive Belt, not rubber timing chain). Enjoy Episode 16 of the Forza World Podcast!InstagramFacebookTwitterTikTok

Is Fujimi Kaido Returning? Forza Horizon Italian Cars + More
In our most organized, funniest, and purely Forza-focused episode yet, we tackle one of the biggest question marks about the upcoming Forza Motorsport game: will Fujimi Kaido be there? We've got an answer by breaking it down methodically and based on some interesting things we've come across. Aren was feeling especially negative about a few things, taking the reigns on this week's Complaint Corner for the first time ever about the Italian Cars that were recently added to Horizon 5 and some of the suspect car choices, and even the manufacturer wheel choices. From there, Jason gets particularly riled up about the lack of additional manufacturer wheel choices available for each car, and also the lack of customization options available in the Paint Booth. No F*** That Car this week due to the unusual level of quality (baseless) rants and great points! We round out this episode with arguably our funniest moment yet regarding a very recent giveaway. If you're new to the show, this is a great episode to start with, and if this isn't your first rodeo, buckle up - Episode 15 is our best yet. InstagramFacebookTwitterTikTok

Is Forza Good Again Because Someone Quit? Barbie, IMSA Recap
Get out the tin foil hats, because we have some baseless conspiracy theories for you! Forza Horizon has had a wild hot streak of great updates, and it almost perfectly coincides with the former Playground Games Creative Director leaving the company. Do we have any evidence there's a connection? Nope. Does it line up? Yep, it lines up way too well. Regardless, we still touch on the hottest topic in Forza right now, the Barbie Movie partnership and the corresponding giveaways and heavier-than-expected attention it's getting from official accounts. Jason makes an excellent point about the negatives that come with the Barbie partnership, and it might not be a point you have considered. We also recap yet another incredible year watching IMSA at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (thank you Sam Fellows🐐), we talk Koenigsegg Gemera, and Jason has a spirited Complaint Corner. For the F*** that car segment, it's a car that has only existed a couple of days, and it's a Lamborghini V12. You don't want to miss this heater of an episode - enjoy!22:13 Forza Creative Director Quits...
