Forza Horizon 4 will be set in Briton

My big question is if the seasons are just a visual change or if it effects physics. If it effects physics, I hope they do a much better job than Turn 10 did with FM7.
 
The only season that looks any different is winter. Oh and I guess it only rains in spring time in Britain and never in the summer or fall.

IMO MS is really in trouble all they have is the same old crap. Halo, Gears, Forza .... zzzzzzzz

Yeah, but it's the same deal. Just like you can count on a new Star Wars movie or 2 or 3 Marvel superhero movies every year, you can count on a new Forza game for the XBox that's slightly better than the older Forza.

Of course, EA has been doing this with the "Madden franchise" and "Battlefield franchise" for over a decade now.
 
Britain? Small, grey, rainy, congested, boring scenery, miserable traffic and my birthplace. I would have preferred Las Vegas, Nevada if I had to pick a place. Or racing around an active volcano on the Hawaii Island would have been even better. I just don't get the choice.

Current one is good enough. This next one is likely to be a pass.

I think that the area works, since you have both rural and urban areas to drive in. It's a good place to show off the new seasons feature they added to the graphics engine, although Winter mode really isn't anything new to the people who purchased the Blizzard Mountain expansion pack for Horizon 3.

Vegas would be kinda boring, because you have desert, the city, and the Lake Mead area. That's about it. The scenery doesn't change much depending on the seasons, either.

You should have left the house once in a while when you were living there. Looked outside a window at least. The islands are quite lovely and pretty even with the cloud cover. I saw plenty of beauty just on a 3-day trip. Not sure what your problem is. New glasses maybe?

And we already had a game in Hawaii, two actually. TDU 1 and TDU 2. They looked nice but didn't have much stuff in them. They were however accurately scaled. The land you drove around on was actually the size of Hawaii. I dont think the roads were accurate though. Forza Horizon would never do that, they scale things down to ridiculously tiny levels.
 
The original rumor for FH4 was Japan, I think that would have been better, drifting around some of those mountain roads would be cool.

Except that nobody in Japan has an XBox. That's Sony's home turf.

Not sure what that has to do with anything? Is MS banned from setting any Xbox game in Japan?

The number of extra sales FH4 will get from Britains is probably miniscule.
 
Got demo.
Its fun. Almost exactly like previous FH games. Winter mode is the same as Blizzard Mountain. Not a bad thing. Having fun. Will probably buy standard edition.

I need to try it, the tracks kind of remind me of the old NFS tracks. I remember playing NFS3 that had tracks set in different seasons and I bet I havn't logged as many hours into any other racing game since. To me, how fun the tracks are to race in are what usually keeps me coming back.

BTW I have never played a Forza game before. Last racer I played was Drive Club and found it disappointing with how short and few the tracks were. I'm stoked to check out Horizon's after watching the video's. I was also stoked for Crew 2 but it doesn't have very good reviews and no one is talking about it.

I'm just sad that there won't be a VR mode for Horizon's, one would think that MS would want to kick off their VR platform with a title like that, plus it's the perfect type of game for VR...what is MS thinking?

There aren't really tracks, it is open world. The races are set courses on the roads you drive around outside the races (there will be barriers and flags setup during the race). It is pretty fun for me since I don't love racing, I can tool around and then do a race every so often. There are challenges scattered around the map like get to a certain point in XX seconds in some super car or jump over XXX meters. Overall I like the variety.

I haven't played Forza Motorsports, but it seems like that is purely just racing. Probably a better choice for someone that is really into just the races.
