Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

Clothing items can only be obtained once.

Or zero in my case.

Someone was hosting a Co-op version of the seasonal Street Scene Championship, So I pulled a Fugiwara and showed up with an AE86 Trueno and won all 3 races by a fairly large margin.

Does anybody else find it interesting that we're already two weeks away from the next Forza Monthly stream? What Toyota should we expect next? I'm thinking either the MR2 or the Celicas to be the next cars, because popular choices?

You Takumi-it like a champ! Big props to your victories. 👍

Either those or the FJ Cruiser.

I was even blasting a Eurobeat playlist on soundcloud while I did it.

That will honestly be a nice addition, and a wonderful return from FH1! With Toyota back on board with Forza, all of its cars should return, even the FJ Cruiser. 👍

Ahhh nice nice! 👍 Legend has it, that when eurobeat starts to play while you're driving, you'll suddenly start drifting and dominate the competition!

I personally wouldn't want to see the SW20 MR2 until they've remodeled it.

Knowing Forza they’ll probably just put the turbo rally engine for it maybe a v8 or v12 swap.

If I had a dollar for every car about which I could truthfully say that, I could buy...I dunno...a burger and fries at a nice restaurant?

 

[strela]

Like shoot me for expecting a little more out of PG on this one, but surely they can at the very least shed some light as to why it's taken so long and that they are actually still coming.

Well.... I guess it's not much but could the Brabus convert option for the E 63 be considered as a new body kit?

 

[WanganDream]

I don't think so.
It was a year ago, so my memory is fuzzy, but I think their explanation was the addition of a new body kit for the existing car.
The new Mercedes (and the cars that were added from last spring to now and in the future) will have nothing to do with the body kit update.

 

[strela]

You are right. The question was for existing models.

 

[RazorSharkz]

I love this E63. I think Mercedes-AMG may be my new favorite manufacturer to drive in Forza. Every car is just fantastic and great to look at too.

 

[urmie]

Wow the AMG also includes a full Brabus kit, even the badges. Pretty neat.

 

[HopAlong]

I've got to say while I do like the E63 IRL and was looking forward to it, I didn't however expect it to be one of my favourite cars in the game.

When it comes to the PR stunts I wish they would mix it up a bit, like car limits with appropriate targets. I'm just so bored of using the Rimac and Hoonigan RS200 week in week out, because it is always 250mph or 1000ft.

So people just cheat at the weekly challenges then?

I got into a Honda Ridgeline Baja truck and headed to a Cross Country event. I saw that it wasn't for this class, so went into the Blueprints menu, thought I'd see if someone else had published a blueprint for that event with the Extreme Offroad class. First event called "Fast Win LOL", sees the NPCs follow a tight right-left-right chicane route, while I just go straight. Race time for me was 10 seconds, and for the rest of the field was around double.

Went to a different event, found the same thing. Is it the same story every week?

yup. It’s like this every week. I find them annoying. You just have to scroll over and find a custom event with a reasonable length. Then you know you’re not wasting time on a non-event event. I don’t understand why one would do this rather than have fun actually participating in a race. I guess some people are really pressed for time.

 

[strela]

Players have been doing those kind of races since the Route creator came. Some did those routes just to cheat, some to force glitches, others to level up Star Card. I did a few of them for the Star Card because it is really difficult to level bluprinter. No excuses. It is still cheating. But you can find all sorts of them. Easy Forzathon, Money method, Auto Skills, Map glitch and the notorious Goliath EXP glitch. Some people just hate playing the game regularly.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I do the blueprint races to get the win 5 races done faster. It’s not really cheating it’s just telling the other drivers where to go in the race.

It's not cheating, for people who just want to get this stuff out of the way it's the smart way to complete the set tasks using the game's provided functionality. Personally, I just want to get the playlist stuff out of the way ASAP each week so I can get on with playing the game how I want to.

I hope to be able to earn this through the seasonal 50% point but I'm finding the PR challenges quite a hard task even whilst using cars like the RLL Rallycross Fiesta or a offroad turned Agera. I told myself to put the game hiatus for a week but I keep on thinking of what I can do differently.

The boundaries are relatively lax for the speed zone so you can cut the corners and carry a bit more speed thru the zone. I found starting from the field end of the zone (not the road side) and hitting it at around 150mph was key. Use the offroad tuned Agera and you should be able to achieve it.

This is far from the best it can be done, but it shows some of the corner cutting that can be done. The car ended up rotating a touch too early for the final right hander, so I corrected, but then ended up a little wider than ideal and didn't cut it. The Mosler isn't the best car for it, I just use it because it can do any seasonal PR stunt so it saves changing cars. If anyone is struggling, the Hoonigan RS 200 is a good option, even an S2 tune can easily do it.

You have 10 events that gives you 6% each, weekly Forzathon gives you 15%, daily 7%. There are so much options to reach 50%.

I'm also using a Fanatec wheel. You need to ditch the controller, you're holding yourself back by carrying on using it. If you only use the wheel, you'll adapt to it better. I've got many top 5 times on rivals leaderboards with the wheel, and I think I might still have the odd number 1 time with it.

You do need to choose a car and tune that works well with a wheel. I don't like pushing a button to use MC, I prefer to just use the paddles and M gears. This rules out many cars where the gear shifts are too slow if you use M, e.g. the EB110. And some cars just don't seem to work well with a wheel, that was why I preferred the Alumi Craft for the Easter Buggy event when most people preferred the Baja Bug.

I still haven't mastered drifting with a wheel, though. I'm generally beating my rivals times that were set when I was using a controller, but I can't beat my controller drift zone scores.

Thank you so much, could you maybe share your set of settings for me to try out? Although it wasn't mentioned on the video, drifting is truly a pain with how unresponsive it feels. Have a great day, pm me your settings if you have the time.

PM sent. Bear in mind there's a lot of personal preference in FFB settings.

You legend! I switched to my Mosler with your off-road tune and clocked all three seasonal PR stunts with not too much effort save for the speed zone which took multiple tries-on my winning run I thought I’d ruined my run with some other oversteer but came up good. Cheers for the tune.

Loving the E63 especially with the Brabus kit. And you can swap in the CLK GTR engine too.

If you want a car to try at rivals, I've just gone #2 on the leaderboard for the Railyard Express street rivals, using my own tune of the 2005 Ford GT. It's shared as "S1 OP". So if you grab that tune and drive against my ghost, you know you're using the exact same tune I used, and driving against a wheel performance.
