Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

[strela]

I have no idea how to get ranked.

Not sure if they cange the entry level too. Before you needed first a lv3 in one category to be able to participate in ranked. For example you want to qualify for Free For All. You first need to complete a certain amount of Quick Matches in that category. The first good news is that you can reach lv3 pretty fast even finishing last every race. The second good news is that you only need to finish one race (not even the whole set) in ranked to qualify and get ranked.

I'm not a fan of the playground games in general, but using B-class trucks this week is just even more annoying. I love the Unimog, but it's just not suited for that type of gameplay.

Finally got my RC-F

Next up IS-F

Seeing as I bought my first ever PC last week to play Flight Simulator thought I’d give this a go as it’s on game pass and holy moly it’s great fun, been looking for a truly great arcade racer since the demise of my beloved Driveclub and I think I’ve found it, looks fantastic too.

 

[-Fred-]

Erm... It's a week early, and there's not been any announcement about it.

Certainly odd. Maybe last update stream incoming?

 

[-Fred-]

There's nothing on their twitter, facebook or even the official forums suggesting as so, in fact there's only that youtube link and nothing else...

 

[Apple Slipper]

Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios keeps on putting out more new official screenshots! Here is a new one of the Cadillac Escalade ESV.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Needs some 26in spinners.

 

[GTvsForza]

Needs some 26in spinners.

Not if The Crew can get them first. They already have legit low riders with hydraulics!

 

[-Fred-]

Needs some 26in spinners.

♫ Riders on the storm... ♫

 

[Justuxful]

I love cruising in the Escalade, just feel so cool and special, especially when you roll up next to a Mini or something like it

Would be great to get the new one in the game, as well as the new Navigator! Or at least get back the proper Range Rover

 

[WanganDream]

The Escalade is probably the car that looks best with Lexani and DUB wheels in this game.
Some people demand that these wheels be removed as "Forza doesn't need DUB or Lexani wheels", but if these brands were really removed, I would despair that there are no wheels that would look good on Escalade.
Luxury wheels with Advanced Paint will make my Escalade look even more spectacular.

There's nothing on their twitter, facebook or even the official forums suggesting as so, in fact there's only that youtube link and nothing else...

They responded to one user's question with a reply.
They're going to stream Forza Monthly and Series 28 a week early, though they haven't given a reason. (Note, however, that the series updates will be on their usual schedule.)

Perhaps they decided to celebrate the addition of the FM7 game pass and stream it a week early to promote it?

The optimist in me expects them to make some major update to FH4, but that will never happen...

 

[GBalao888]

Well that's strange, there hasn't been any mention of Torben Tuesday beforehand with these weird, cryptic hints/riddles at mysterious cars that I can barely even decipher.

 

[strela]

I highly doubt a stream for series 28 is going to happen this Monday since it's only a YouTube feed and no official announcement has been made so far. At least one would expect a Tweet or something on the official forum. I think someone just made a mistake. We will get a usual Torben on Tuesday and Series 28 update on 19.

Ok, I don't doubt it anymore.

#ForbenFriday?

Spoiler

lol

 

[willbsn13]

Some early speculation

1. AMC Pacer
2. Hennessey Velociraptor 6x6
3. GMC Cyclone/Mercury Cyclone Spoiler
4. Dodge Stealth Turbo

 

[WanganDream]

The fourth clue (if they're taking a cue from the gif-animated aircraft itself) would be the GMC Typhoon.
Because the aircraft flying in this gif is a Eurofighter Typhoon.

But I don't really want that.
I love the GMC Syclone/Typhoon. But the addition of these two cars to the same series seems a bit biased.
It's a very welcome fact that these wonderful "Testarossa Killers" are returning to Forza. However, it would have been better to have one of them added in a different series to please other car enthusiasts, and above all, to avoid attacks on these two cars.

Yes, that's why I don't want these two cars added in the same series.

 

[strela]

It make sense that 2 guesses are from FH3 and 2 from the leaked list.

Wayne's world: AMC Peacer X (FH3)
Eurofighter gif: GMC Syclone (FH3)
Twister: Mercury Cyclone Spoiler (leaked)
Jurassic park: Hennessy Velociraptor 6x6 (leaked)

 

[GTvsForza]

#4 could also be the Shelby Raptor that was plainly seen in the Fortune Island trailer...

 

[strela]

When I first saw Wayne's world as a clue there was another car that came to my mind first.

 

[Populuxe]

My reactions to the suggested cars:

Wayne's world: AMC Peacer X (FH3)
Eurofighter gif: GMC Syclone (FH3)
Eurofighter gif: Dodge Stealth Turbo
Twister: Mercury Cyclone Spoiler (leaked)
Twister: GMC Typhoon
Jurassic park: Hennessy Velociraptor 6x6 (leaked)

 

[GTvsForza]

Hmmm...

 

[HopAlong]

So an American themed update, I wonder if the Eurofighter gif could be taken more literal, like a C8 Corvette or CT4/5 or whatever the replacement for the ATS and CTS is called.

Maybe its just me, but all I can see when looking a the front of the Mercury Cyclone is Metal Gear Rex's head.

 

[-Fred-]

Hmmm...

Well that's a running board, which looks somewhat similar in pattern to this one:

At least the G63 6x6 will have an opponent now.

 

[WanganDream]

Yes, the Velociraptor 6x6 seems to be confirmed.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Watch it’s gonna have that 1,500 hp v8 racing engine for a swap.

I just experienced the most beautiful moment I’ve ever enjoyed in this game, and it happened during the freaking Playground Games.

it was five vs, five at the slate quarry in winter. My team lost the first game of King, but we came back and won the next round of Survivor. Next was Flag Rush and our team scored 11. For some reason, all but one of the other team’s players quit. The rest of my team raced to the flag to deny that lone player. I was the only one to defend the drop zone. After a few minutes, I realized he wasn’t even trying. He was just doing donuts on the frozen floor of the quarry. I felt bad for him, so I rolled quietly down there and started doing donuts on the ice with him. The two of us just skated around the ice like we were performing a ballet. (I had Timeless FM on my car radio, so that may have been affecting me.) Not surprisingly we won 11-0, but we were still up only two games to one.

Next up was a game of Infected. Single Guy was infected and we were survivors. This time, everyone went down to the ice and we all did donuts together for five minutes, enemy and teammates alike. He didn’t try to infect us. We didn’t try to run into each other. It was just six people who love this game playing together. The classical music and all the slowly spinning, drifting cars was beautiful. In a small way it reminded me of the Christmas soccer game between the Germans and the English in World War I.

Of course when it was time to switch sides, the entire team swarmed him to get it over with and win the games. It was a hilarious ending to a lovely moment in this game I’ll likely never experience again.
