Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

[EngieDiesel]

When introducing a new game mode, the first impression is always the most importa...

...oh.

That said, there are a few pretty creative and fun things that I came across. But also far too many that are blatant achievement scumming or "I wanted to see how much garbage I can pile into a small space". I do think it's neat that the car used has the creator's own tune, paint scheme and license plate on it, rather than just being default. Giving the incentive to build cars specifically for use in challenges actually opens up a lot of creative potential in the right hands.

Typical Don Joewong Song

If only the new Super7 mode would allow you to reach inaccessible bonus boards, by placing big ramps in front of them, but no, was really hyped to finally smash them, but no

 

[EngieDiesel]

Okay, so. They really need to make the introduction to challenge creation much clearer.

I just lost about two hours of work on a nice winding city course I was making because the game didn't bother to tell me that if you set a time and then back out of the final detail screen to continue editing, you have to beat the previously set time to get back into the detail screen, which is presumably where you would add more time to the challenge. Since I had went and set a time on the route it auto-generated before editing anything, because that's what the game voiceover told me to do, and couldn't later beat it because of the longer detour route I had made, I had no option but to quit out and lose everything.

the new game mode aint bad. but i dont like how long it takes to unlock the cars... took about 5 hours to get the tr7...

 

[cosme]

Completed Super7 one time and I can say it was fun. Wanted to make another go but somehow a lot of challenges started to appear again. Guess there are not that many at the time. Also huge connection issues after the update, can't stay in a session for longer than 10 minutes.

 

[EngieDiesel]

Share code is 126 552 565. You can enter that in the challenge browser's search function.

Actually, considering custom races and challenges have this share code ability, maybe a separate thread is in order? (I haven't played in the last six months, so I dunno how long it's been a thing. It wasn't there to begin with, or if it was they never brought it to anyone's attention.)

Hmmmmmm

It's a fictional car, but I would love it.
At least it looks more realistic than a Regalia or Rocket 69 and is a cool car.

Given the inclusion of this car in this update and the fact that they kept it a secret, I wonder if this car will be gifted to us in time for the release of Cyberpunk 2077?

I reckon an short little announcement at the game awards makes a lot of sense. We'll see though

Hmmmmmm

For those (like me) who know nothing about it, it's apparently a fictional car from Cyberpunk 2077 and this is what it looks like.

I found the QUADRA V-TECH photo on the official forum.
This car is a car that is not yet available in custom blueprints and so on, and can only be identified by its name in a search on Creative Hub, but the guy who took this photo seems to have managed to photograph this car in some way.

 

[GTvsForza]

Very interesting. I'm not really into Cyberpunk 2077, but the car will be an exception, just like the Regalia

It's super grindy and I don't really like it. The amount of influence you receive seem to be tied to how many likes each "blueprint", for lack of a better word, has received. I've already done 30+ events and I'm not yet at level 3...

 

[WanganDream]

According to a post I saw on reddit, you can earn 5200 points every time you play a newly created challenge that no one else has played yet.
However, this post is not a reliable source of information, and it seems that some players are not able to earn these points by imitating it.

I tested it and can confirm that the 5200 points is genuine. 👍

Will need to test it’s consistency later on today.

I tried this and it works. If you want to avoid the grind, a few of the new ones and you'll get the Triumph/Austin in no time.

Oh wow I thought I was the only one, I can't connect either for more than 5 to 10 mins after the update, did u find a fix on the update?

 

[WanganDream]

I also tried and it worked 100%.
Unlocked the TR7 in 1 hour and 5 minutes.

The following are notes

- Wait for the events of the previous tab to be loaded before moving the tab, such as PG Editor's Choice. Otherwise, there is a bug that causes these events to be displayed in the "New" tab.

- The description of the event card is fixed in the language of the event author's choice. It is difficult to determine from the event card the content of an event created in Russian or Chinese (in my case).
Therefore, it's better to choose an event created in your native language or English if possible.

Of course, if you actually play the event, you will see the challenge target in your chosen language.

I don't know how far you are in the game, but some of the inaccessible boards become easier to access when you unlock all of the Danger Signs, as ramps start appearing.

Thanks @WanganDream for the tip. Did 3 Super7 in a row and was still lv2!! One of those had 2 5min skill events... I was really concerned about the grind. Got the Triumph in an hour after that with the new event method!
Anyway not sure about the Super7. It's fun the first few events but I would prefer it in bluprints for races, but I guess it would break the AI.
Also missing one photo so it must be the Quadra imo. It also make sense why the FH4 Tweeter guy responded on Cyberpunk Tweets from time to time. And I just love the CP car designs so I really hope it will come to FH4.

No, I didn't find any fix, but I also didn't play since I struggled with this for an hour or two. Saw a couple people on reddit with the same issue though.

 

[PJTierney]

New Achievements, done.

Guess I’ll be back in 6 months when they add more

Silly question, but if I attempted to buy one of the DLC cars off the auction house, would the game allow the bid/buy out to go through before telling me I need to purchase the car off the MS Store, or does it block my bid right away? I'm finding myself spending more time in the game than I did before, so I might actually be enticed to throw a few more bucks at it even though I'm playing it through Game Pass.

 

[WanganDream]

Well, they are still going to announce their collaboration with Cyberpunk 2077 at the Game Awards.

It will stop the bid and bring up a message taking you to the Store page for the DLC.

Since people have suggested it, I've created a Super 7 Discussion thread.

I'm glad there's a way to alleviate the grinding in this game, but I wish I'd known about it last night. It took me about 3 hours to get to level 5 for the Austin 7. At least I know it won't take as long to get the TR7 now that I know what to do.


I do love this little Austin. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with it.

 

[Apple Slipper]

Someone has an even better shot of the 2058 Quadra Turbo R!

 

[EngieDiesel]

I really hope it's not exclusive to people who pre-ordered the game for Xbox, like they did with Fallout 4 and the Corvega.

Someone managed to make a Super7 blueprint for everyone to try. Share code: 242 231 884! Enjoy!
