Finally got FH4, for my XB1S.
So far, I'm enjoying it more than the previous game. The map world is sooooo much better than Australia, and I'm generally having a good time. The season dynamic is also very cool to me. The new camera view, the one kind of stuck to the dashboard is great....much better visbility & control, but still gives you that intimate feeling of being in the car. Love it.
One thing that I feel like the FH (notably 4, in particular) does well is make lower powered vehicles feel fun. I've been enjoying the hell out of my 113hp Miata, 131hp Lancia Fulvia, and my 160hp Nissan Skyline not to mention my cripplingly under-powered, stock, Land Rover Defender 90. I think part of my affinity for the slower cars is that they feel more realistic than the fast cars, and there is more of an emphasis on chassis balance and enjoying the scenery. Some of the faster cars feel completely implausible in the game.
However, a lot of the car sounds are abysmal. One of my favorite cars to drive in FH3 was the FC RX-7, which sounded absolutely spot on in that game. It sounds like a Miata in FH4. There are tons of other examples. I really hope they continue to patch the sounds, because it's a low point for the series in that regard.
One other issue I have, and this is probably a weird gripe to have, is that the game gives you waaaaay too much money and waaaay too many cars too easily. I'm just swimming in wheelspins & cash, and I'm not even trying that hard.
Does anyone else enjoy cars in the D & C segments as much as I do? What are your favorites?
