It’s still mostly grounded in reality, bearing more similarities to the first three films in the Fast and Furious series than the past six. Diesel powerįorza Horizon 5 isn’t quite as unhinged as the Fast saga - at least not yet. The latter is quite literally the set piece that opens Fast 9, as Dominic Toretto and his family of drivers evade cars while weaving through trees. By the end of the clip, I’d seen a Corvette Stingray barrel through a massive dust storm and a Porsche Desert Flyer zip through a jungle. That’s the same vibe I get when watching Forza’s cars plummet out of airplanes or make 20-foot leaps and come out unscathed. This year’s Fast 9 features some out-of-this-world stunts - literally - that destroy its own rules.
Fast Five is a full-on heist film where cars steal a vault and drag it through city streets on a run from the cops. While the series started as a mid-budget drama about street racing, it’s upped the ante with every film since. My brain immediately raced to the Fast and Furious film franchise, which has taken on many forms during its 20-year run. It’s the kind of action movie sequence that you won’t see in something like the F1 series. It blasts through it, hurtling through the air and landing perfectly in the middle of a race that’s already in progress.
The Bronco keeps racing forward until it reaches a metal guardrail. A second car quickly crosses its path, initiating a sort of unofficial “street” race. A parachute opens, it touches down on a dirt road, and then takes off. The backdoor opens and a Ford Bronco carefully rolls out, plummeting through the air. Instead, we’re on an airplane high up in the sky. The video doesn’t begin on a racetrack or a backroad. The short clip I saw showed four different cars exploring Forza Horizon 5’s Mexican landscapes. Then it hit me: It’s essentially a Fast and Furious video game. At first, I wasn’t sure why it had me so excited. I caught a new glimpse of the game ahead of Tuesday’s Gamescom Opening Night Live stream and found myself entirely bought in on what Forza Horizon 5 had to offer.
