If the HSV GTS-R comes back I wonder if it is going to have the same obscenely loud Supercharger noise like it did in FH3 when adding a Supercharger.
 
“Summer is finally here, well, not everywhere, at least what I read.”

This is a more radical guess (and it might not mean anything at all) but I can’t help but think that it’s pointing to Horizon 3 for Games with Gold next month. Would tie well with the other clues pointing to Holdens.

This theory is probably a strong one.
Since FH3 was released in 2016, all content will no longer be on sale this fall.
In recent years, the Forza series has always had a sale or GwG in the summer of its fourth year, so it's likely they will do the same this time around.

The addition of Holden will have the effect of promoting FH3 for players who started playing Forza in FH4, and for us it will be nostalgia for Australia.

Good theory. Was looking at rebuying FH3 to see how it would go with my new wheel but I'll hold off.

Don't mind there being three Holdens if thats how it turns out.
 
85 in 96... Like year 1985 in 1996?

Then all I can think of is the Subaru SVX, which uses a 1996 model in FH3, but the car is often celebrated for its peak eighties-inspired styling.

It more likely refers to the 96 HSV GTS-R. Only 85 were produced, all in yellow.

Ok, thanks. At first I didn't see how 85 related to this car. I now see the previous post that explained it... :ouch:

Anyway, some Holden is appropriate after the marque recently went out of business. Many cool cars that deserve recognition outside of Australia, and I was a bit disappointed how some of them didn’t make it to FH4 initially. I hope they don’t skip the Holden Monaro GTS 327. One of my favorite classic muscle cars in FM7.

As someone who's never been to Australia, so am I. Beautiful scenery and amazing cars. I still play it from time to time.

As much as some people (rightly) complained about the lack of variety in roads, it's still my favorite Horizon title when it comes to diversity of scenery. Skyscrapers, rainforest, beachfront, farmlands, and a desert, plus Blizzard Mountain as DLC? FH4 still looks spectacular and the weather system's interesting, and I've put more time into it than maybe any other racing game ever, but FH3's the one I'd actually want to live in.

I agree! You should come to Australia some time!

I'm hoping if we get Holdens then we can get the 68 Monaro and the FX Ute and Sedan back. I just love the looks of those old Aussie cars.
I especially want the FX Sedan to return. It has only appeared in Forza Horizon 3 so far.
 
Forzathon Shop update:
  • 600 FP Car: 2018 Ferrari Portofino
  • 450 FP Car: 1969 Fiat Dino 2.4 Coupe
  • Clothing: Modern Race Suit Blue - 75FP
  • Clothing: Disco Chicken Suit - 75FP
I'm surprised to see the Disco Chicken Suit in the shop. It's one of the very few clothing items I don't already have. I only need the Black Chicken Suit and Chauffeur Suit now.
 
Looks like FH4 is here to stay for the next couple of years... If the new FM launches in 2022/23 we might only get the next Horizon in 4 to 5 years

I thought about re-downloading the game, but I'm not going to trap myself like I did before. If they're updating the game for Xbox One Series X, they really need to UPDATE it, not just bring higher resolution and frame-rate.
 
The ‘85 Mazda RX-7 is the best thing that has happened to FH4 since the Mitsubishi Starion.

It could launch at the end of next year, but 2020 definitely seems out of question. Clearly a long way to go. Today’s showing was a Turn 10 tech demo at most.

Hopefully it leaves more room for even more FH4 content updates. Still very relevant title with a next-generation remaster in the pipeline.

Also the size of the leaked content files from last year may also suggest there's still more content to come for FH4 for a good while.
 
It looks like FH4 is going to soldier on for a long, long time. I dare to predict that it will probably be the last numbered Horizon game and reboot just like it’s Motorsport cousin.

The teaser for the next Motorsport title dropped today. I seriously doubt they're going to wait another two to three years to release it.
 
Also worth remembering one of Ralph Fulton’s pre-launch comments from 2018 where he said FH4 was going to be supported for years. To me that always sounded like FH4 was going to be a project spanning more than two years, and now it does seem to be the case.

Only cause for concern is the newly announced Playground Games title. Fingers crossed it won’t eat up all their resources anytime soon.

PG already created a dedicated team to cover the new Fable.

I noticed that the footage says Series X/PC, no mention of Xbox One (or One X). Since the Xbox boss said there would not be true Series X exclusives for two years, that also would put FM in a two year release window at least...

Exactly. T10 are not PD who are the slowest I've seen. For all we know, FM8 can release BEFORE GT7 even launches, which I bet could be next year in 2021 (early or late, hopefully early if the 4chan post is true).
 
Do you ever play this game and suddenly stop to take a photo because it's just so dang beautiful?
Here, here! The environments in FH4 are so darn gorgeous! The world itself is one big vista consisting scapes all over. It's one of the reasons that keeps me coming back to FH4. 👍 With seasons, there is always something new in the environment to a quick, yet beautiful shot like yours for example. :D
