TVGB: "Considering that Microsoft last year asked how gamers would feel about a Forza game that would "allow drivers to go anywhere on the open road, as opposed to closed-circuit racing," color us interested."
Forza Horizon has been around for 10 years today, but due to the franchise's constant "End Of Life" policies, it's hard to celebrate.
Literally the only XBox exclusive that I still regularly play. I'm glad I had bought FH3 (PC) when I did, but this really sucks for other people who never picked it up. I still love the Australian Outback setting most of all.
BLG writes: "When the Forza Horizon games franchise launched in 2012, it was an enjoyable spin-off of the highly successful simulation racer. A decade later, the Horizon series has overtaken Forza Motorsport series as one of, if not the, premiere driving video games of all time."
Don't think there's literally a "worst" Forza game man. Microsoft just makes these too damn good.
lol.. pedantic much? ^ PG and the Forza IP are owned by Microsoft.
FH5 may be a technical marvel but it's been a buggy mess since launch and PG seem intent to add new content without ever bothering to fix anything. Many of which were bugs that were also in FH4.
FH3
FH1
FH4
FH5
FH2 (still good but the structure was messed up - too much emphasis on grinding "roadtrips" which was tedious)
FH3 is my favourite by a long shot. I got surprisingly bored of FH5 quick enough unfortunately so that's down the bottom of my list
Tbh I found FH3 to actually be my favourite and the one I played the most.
The one I got bored of very quickly was 4. Wasn't a fan of the seasons and driving round England was boring cause its where I live. Got very old quick.
I still think 2 (Xbox One version) is my personal best. Driving an Italian supercars on an Italian highway just feel so "right"!!!!! "2" make me understand why Italian make those supercars.
I don't know why so many do not like 4. I like the seasonal change & dramatic weather change. 5 seems to dial the weather change way way down that the weather seldom change (Is the real Mexico really has such a perfect weather all the time?).
KeenGamer: "The advanced sky capturing gives the Forza Horizon franchise a natural and realistic feeling. Yet, it's a long process from capturing to complete in-game sky. It's a technology that was introduced during the development of Forza Horizon 3, which provided more beauty and were widely praised by players."
Forza 4 looks really great now that Series updates have been applied. In Forza 5 Microsoft uses photo technology throughout the entire game. The volcano setting in Mexico looks amazing!
Incredible looking game, and it's not even powered by the next iteration of the ForzaTech engine which is still developed by Turn10.
Time to flex that 12TF.
Judging the trailer, it looks like they're going for drag racing sort of like NFS: The run.
It's more than likely going to be open-world, and more on the arcade-like side of racing games, similar to GRID. If not open world, I'm thinking of courses similar to those of NFS: Hot Pursuit/The Run.
Since Forza 5 has been slated for a 2013 release, I couldn't imagine seeing two nearly identical Forza games being released in the near future. That just wouldn't make much sense...
Anyhow, I'm interested in seeing what kind of game Horizon pans out to be.
This was originally going to be titled "Forza World" indicating an open world setting. They changed it to the much better (IMHO) Forza Horizon.
They have already came out and said this is a totally different franchise and game then Forza Motorsport. Its also made by a totally different company then Turn 10.
Wasn't that one game..... Test Drive unlimited? or something like that?
