Im blown away how none of the Subaru's have track width option

The 22b does, and I thought the 90's Legacy did as well, but I might be wrong with that one tbh

Ah, didn't check that one, but the '08 Impreza STI and Wagon dont have it, which is a bummer.

I'm not sure why Playground Games decided to use that "don't you" song as a recurring theme throughout the game. It gets annoying pretty damn fast.

The connotation of "blown away" is positive.

Those are the only Subbies I have, and probably the only ones I'll buy lol.

I'm partial to the 22b myself, it's usually one of the first cars I buy in any Forza game.

Question on the houses you can purchase (sorry if this has been asked already), what are they like? I don't mean the perks or rewards that come with each one, what I mean is, can you go inside of them? Is it like TDU where you can enter the garage and see your car? That was pretty immersive for a driving game back in the day and I know PG has made some statements about FH4 being like TDU, I was just curious how accurate that statement was in regards to the properties you can purchase.

No, you can't go in. You just park in the driveway and do all your modifications there. It replaces the remote Horizon Hubs from the previous games. What's odd to me is that you have to enter from outside the property. If you go down the driveway of a house you own, you can't enter it. You have to drive back out to the street to enter it.

Tried the 60FPS mode last night and it was pretty damn amazing if you ask me. I think I'll use it whenever I'm going to have a long multiplayer session with friends. By myself I'll stick to 4k30FPS.

 

[NotThePrez]

Spends 15 minutes waiting to enter a ranked Team Adventure playlist, finally gets 12/12 palyers

Me: "Finally! Now to start racing."

Game: "Sorry, there were not enough players to start the event. Returning to Horizon Life."

Me: *Sigh*

On the plus side, I'm trying to focus more on tuning in this game and it seems to be paying off. Just got a payout of roughly ~24,000 credits after not playing most of yesterday. 👍

I managed to get in the auction the Austin FX4 and the 1970s Range Rover.

 

[turbofozz]

Willing to pay a good amount of money for a 2010 Golf R if anyone has one yet

 

[VXR]

I was finally able to get into the auction house (after days of server issues) to buy the car I wanted, the 2019 GT3 RS, since I probably won't save up enough Forzathon points in time to buy it in the Forzathon shop. Cost me a fortune but, hey, money is easy to come by in the game. Not to mention I auction off all my FE cars for a good chunk of money.

Besides that, I started doing a series of races that I love. I'll put in spoiler tags for those who haven't done them yet...

Spoiler: Spoilers

The videogame races, where you race cars from popular games of the past, are wonderful flashbacks. So far only done a few of them, but it's great to hear them talk about these games. I don't want to spoil the exact game references, but they're good fun.

Just got one for 281k, so bargains are out there.

I kind of figured the statement mentioning TDU was marketing hype so I guess I'm not surprised you can't go into them. There really hasn't been a driving game to date that has matched the immersion factor in TDU/2. The Crew 2 is sort of getting there but it still has a ways to go.

 

[Moglet]

I've got 530/531 roads discovered and I can't see the last one anywhere I've looked over the map road by road at least 4 times now but there are no grey bits left that I can see! Argh!

 

[Populuxe]

Just comparing radio stations between games.

FH__________FH2______________________FH3____________________FH4
Pulse________Pulse____________________Pulse___________________Pulse
Bass Arena___Bass Arena_______________Bass Arena______________Bass Arena
Rocks________XS______________________________________________XS
______________________________________Block Party______________Block Party
_____________Radio Levante____________Timeless FM_____________Timeless FM
_____________Hospital Records Radio____Hospital Records Radio___Hospital Records Radio
_____________Innovative Leisure Radio
_____________Ninja Tune Radio
______________________________________Vagrant Records
______________________________________Epitaph Records
______________________________________Future Classic
______________________________________Groove Music

Is Hospital Records the only "outside" radio station this time around? Don't get me wrong, I love the station, and London Elektricity and Chris Goss are obviously having fun doing their DJ bits. But I've gotten used to having several different stations to choose from. Only the first game had a lower number of stations.

 

[DDastardly00]

Aw man, I kind of liked Vagrant Records

 

[CountessGardy]

Is this a bug? If so, how do I fix it?

My last piece of road was on the coastal road, specifically the driveway to the Thatch Corner house. ( Bottom part of the coastal road btw.)

Failing that, there’s a tunnel at the mud kickers adventure park that’s worth double checking. 👍

Regarding the music stations...I wish I had a way to play my own music in this version of Horizon. Other than playing it in the background, which is imperfect at best. Especially since they could integrate it before, but now they can't? Not even going to integrate Spotify?

 

[Northstar]

Not even going to integrate Spotify?

I'd imagine integrating a 3rd party app into the game is rather difficult and results in lots of headaches down the line.

 

[DDastardly00]

I used to have about 25 albums worth of music on my old 360 which I would put on mainly when I was painting liveries, those were the days. I'm more of a vinyl guy, so some of those albums were digitally transferred directly from Vinyl too. I still don't use services like Spotify, most of my music comes directly from my own library.

 

[LongbowX]

@Northstar I understand that, for sure.

It's strange to see Horizon 4's soundtrack be pushed on Spotify, with no reciprocation from the actual game regarding Spotify itself.

I would much prefer something that played music from your own system anyway. Or even from OneDrive.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Or, a better option, make it so that you can actually turn off music and not just set it to volume level 1, where you can still here it in loading screens, after race results, and during Horizon Stories.

 

[RazorSharkz]

Is there a list of cars not available through the Autoshow/Barn Finds/Natural Progression and if so where might they be?

 

[Nielsen]

Has anyone been able to find an overall completion percentage in the game stats? I seem to remember there being such a thing in FH3, but in FH4 I cannot find it.

I believe turning on Streamer Mode mutes the music for loading screens ect.

 

[GTvsForza]

Can't wait for Autumn tomorrow!

Did some good progress in this last day of Summer. A handful of barn finds and big spin prizes (LaFerrari, 720S, Dab and Watch me Whip) as well as buying a haunted mansion

 

[Maxrevv]

I wish we can just purchase the emotes and clothes and keep the cash bonuses and cars in the normal and Super Wheelspins.

Or at least put them behind the game's progression. Like when you completed level 3 of certain races, the rare and legendary clothes and emotes would be unlocked.

@ManteoMax is working on one on the official forums:

Nope, probably because the game can't be 100% finished, technically. As the road map seems to suggest, there will be new things added on a regular basis.

 

[Symtex]

I got 66/70 Exhibition done. 148 / 150 boards and 525/531 road discovered. I have no idea how I am going to complete it.
