I really want them to bring the Horizon festival to Japan

They really need to double down on the sim aspect of the sport. The stat tracking, the personalities and figures that run the league and the fictional racers that make it popular, hiring pit crews and key personnel that give my team a boost on race day. The presentation really needs to mimic that of real racing that one would watch on TV. I want to be in full control over my racer...not just in terms of gear, but what he/she looks and behaves like. I want hall of fame records by fictional racers that I can then break. I want a NFL2K5 "Cribs" like space that players can deck out with trophies they won...put up posters on walls of pictures they taken or downloaded...watch replays of races we've saved. I want seasons like FH4 where races would be marked on the calendar and depending on what time of year it is and where the race takes place geographically, the weather will act accordingly. I want to see fictional racers get injured due to events that have taken place on the track...even miss races due to these injuries. I want to get indorsement deal offers from real brands (even some made up ones) because of my play on track. I want announcers added that talk about interesting things during the races.

Oh and dragons

[TK-66]

You say that but I personally think it would be badass to have a Horizon race with a dragon XD

[King_Noctis]

Who knows, maybe we’ll see a FH crossover with Skyrim somedays.

[gangsta_red]

I would play a Forza game with Dragons

[rainslacker]

You never cease to disappoint.

In other news, the sky is blue and the grass is green!

I always did wonder what would happen if Turn 10...for one release...didn’t make a forza game. Want to see what else their impressive talents are capable of? Especially now with the horizon guys in tow and building up with horizon 4. I’m sure the series could take a break too

[King_Noctis]

This is just like asking Polyphony Digital to stop making GT games, which you know, will never ever happen. These studios were created to make these specific games.

[Gibreel87]

Polyphony made Motor toon grand prix before they even made the 1st GT and made Tourist tophy and omega boost after they made GT... So, no Poly wasnt created to make GT because their 1st, 2 games weren't even GT related.

[King_Noctis]

@gibreel

That is correct. But what I’m saying is lately Polyphony hasn’t made anything beside GT game.

[Atom666]

I would like to see them assist another studio like they did with Playground in the Horizon games.

A third franchise (preferably not named Forza) that is purely arcade would do well to round out the racing genre on Xbox. I still think a cart racer with Turn 10 assisting Rare would be fun. Or pick up the ball dropped by NFS.

Hopefully they concentrate on the driving physics, you get a floaty feeling from it, way better than PC 2 though, that game was horrible to play, gt sport is still the console sim to beat though, not one game has nailed driving like that game, and not one has such a robust online offering, you can say what you want about car numbers, more get added every month for free, no dlc charges and no mts other than the ability to buy cars with real money, also free tracks, forza 8 will be a day one game though, I just hope they go back to being more sim orientated like the first few games.

Interesting stuff

[SLiSH83]

For the love of god implement a penalty system for online races.

F7 was amazing i like the original series more than horizon but enjoy that also .
