Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

[neddyie118]

You have a whole week to get the other 2%. Trust me, it's worth it.

I decided to buy a one month gold membership and I finally managed to unlock the Z4 and yes it was well worth it

Series 8 content will be revealed on Monday (developer stream). Hopefully more cars from FH3 returning and something carried over from FM7.

I had one in the trial a couple of weeks ago that practically teleported past me and the player in front of me on the last corner, it was a tight 90 degree uphill and while the two of us were accelerating hard out of the corner the car behind us just flew by us like we were sitting still, in an S2 race too.

In last week's trial, during the last race on the small circuit in the village, I had an AI car catch up with me so quickly that it shot straight into the outside barrier of the slow left corner like a bullet and trapped me, must've run out of grip!

You can't change cars in replay mode, like you can in FM, for obvious reasons. An Unbeatable difficulty drivatar, desperately trying to catch you, must be a sight to behold!

"Player gaining advantage, increase speed. Not effective, increasing grip. Not effective, engaging 'on-rails' mode. Player is still ahead, engaging hyperdrive. Player still ahead, does not compute...."

I am waiting for Subaru 360 and Nissan Safari.
As a cross-country lover, I would like a true 4x4 like Jeep or OG Landcruiser (but, although he is no longer).

I won't deny the presense of drivatars having strong catchup enabled, but I'm fairly sure the reason you can't switch cars in replay mode is because the streaming of the world is based around the player car, meaning that if you were to spectate an AI car you'd see things such as traffic cars and the terrain spawning in.

"Pop the hood"

"B58B30 no ****!"

"This will decimate all, after you put about around 15 grand in it. If we have to, we'll overnight parts from Munich"

Had to.

It actually gets quite a bit of power on this.

I wonder when we’ll see the second expansion? The Hot Wheels expansion for FH3 was released on May 9, so if they follow the same pattern, we’d be hearing info some what soon. Maybe in the next Forza Monthly livestream.

Completing this week's Trial event reminded me how loud the BMW M4 GTS is (when driven by the opposition) compared to everything else. I know the sound update was implemented a few months ago, but does PG intend to have the M4's engine sound drown out every other noise?

 

[VXR]

Finally wrapped up all 531 roads. Found about 50 in Edinburgh that I'd been saving to last. What a fun city to hoon around.

I can manage the Trial for this season. My Bentley FE can handle the corners fine, but it's just getting the right team.

EDIT:
After 3 attempts and pure luck, I finally finished the Trial. Just need to finish the dailies and play 4 more Adventures to get qualified. I am only 2% away from the M3 and 10% from the Capri. Don't know if 100%'ing this season will be enough for the Ford, but it'll be close.

Completed the trial, weekly forzathon, the stunts and other championships I’m at 71% do I get 80% if I do the daily forzathon or do I have to do the playground game events?

 

[-Fred-]

Pro-tip for the Trial: use one of the ACR Vipers or the X-Bow since they're once more OP and the drivatars don't use them it seems.

I presume you didn't qualify for Ranked ether. Ranked and PG will get you more than 20% so you must do one or the other. Each daily will get you 1% only.

I used a fully upgraded M4 GTS with AWD and did well in my races would’ve won but I screwed up a few times.

 

[boiltheocean]

I used a BAC Mono, which is stock 800 I believe and drove around everything. Won 2 of the 3 races but that's only because my teammate decided to punt me off every time I got close to them so I had to settle for 2nd.

I used my Bentley Continental FE with a DJS tune. I just blew the AI out of the water on the second race

I swear, BMW might have shot themselves in the foot with this car. They made everything in it but, if the GR Supra ends up faster, then Toyota will take all the credit for themselves.

Heck, they already are! People think of the Z4 as a Toyota when in fact the Z4 is Bimmer metal through and through. It's the Toyota that isn't a Toyota.

A shame, because the car is really good, if Forza is to be believed...

 

[GTvsForza]

After a full weekend of Adventure grinding, I finally qualified, and my percentage for both the season and the Series bumped up by almost 20%! So, I got the M3, the Capri FE, and (surprisingly) the GTO!

Hopefully I can still get the Porsche if I 100% Spring.

I doubt the mid life crisis crowd cares what one is faster.

Quick question: if you're already qualified for ranked adventure will doing the playground games add more completion? I ask because one of my family members is sitting at 73% and needs only a bit more to get the Capri.

The ranked playground games, no. The seasonal playground game event, yes.

I used the Bentley Continental FE for the Trial and it worked just fine. I had a competent team and won first time. The games took longer. I didn't prepare a car for the class, just used a stock WRX. My team lost the first race, but then for some reason the other team kept losing team members. The last person on the other team quit during the fourth game so we won by default. I'm at 99% for the series and 97% for the season. Just need to finish the dailies and I'll 100% everything.

The Bentley is probably the best car to use in the Trial. I won it with no problem.

I think it's quite likely we may see a teaser today if they're going for the same release window - next month stream would eventually be right around release day.

Any guesses (or hopes) as to what it could possibly be? Personally, after seeing Don Joewon Song's Project Arcade vid I would not mind at all seeing an "arcade mode" expansion set in the UK - which could also serve as a nice excuse to add some of those hyper-fast cars we saw in the pre-release leaks (and which have been, since then, finalized by their respective manufacturers). I am not too sure we'll see another map expansion: the HW DLC was the only case in which a Horizon game got two such DLCs, and it was not terribly labor-intensive...

There is a livestream or something today right??? Where will that be and what time??

Let's prepare ourselves for more PG staff that doesn't feel comfortable in front of cameras. And apparently Drift Adventure, whatever that'll be.
