So no other specific label radio stations other then Hospital? That's a massive bummer.
Yeah I agree. I absolutely loved Future Classic on FH3, I only listened to that, Bass Arena and Pulse being a fan of electronic dance music. This reveal feels like losing a radio station. Ooh well, it’s probably about time I widen my horizon and start listening to some other channels. :)

About this stream, I think the most impressive thing shown for me was not Edinsborough (and certainly not the Team play) but instead the forest section they visited with the Jeep Trailcat early on in the video. Holy cow with a low standing sun the lighting and shading effect on those lovely tree models looks absolutely stunning!
 
I know i said it 1000 times now, but bruh this game looks just insane. The way the lighting and shading looks is just incredible. The foliage, reflections and the lighting got some serious improvements compared to FH3 wich looked incredible also. There where parts in the video where the game looked real. This game is the benchmark now :bowdown:
 
Edinburgh at night looks amazing, the lighting etc like Nice (FH2) but so much better, good to see the orange flares (check points) back from FH2 as well 👍

I guess they do not play in cockpit view much, I do tend to turn off any road/brake markers/ names above cars or UI and then jump straight in to cockpit view even on Forza Horizon for a realistic view and challenge then switch to Bass Arena :D

Same way, i turn everything off even the map and speedometer. It gives a more realistic view and immersion. Now they have the close cockpit view like in Forza 7, its perfect for me with my wheel.

Yeah the ONLY immersion breaker in FH3 are actually the destination points (for free roam) and gate indicators (for races). Both flying high up in the air. I hope we can turn them off for FH4 so we can truly play the game without any HUD.

As far as the new closer dashboard camera goes (introduced with FM7) even for a controller I love the view. Sometimes driving with driver seat camera is difficult since so much of the interior of the car is shown and only a bit of TV space is left for the view on the road. The closer dashboard cam fixes that.

For the immersion view with interior cameras I tend to toggle between both often in FM7.
 
Things that I like:
The fact that it's more easier to differentiate between breakable and unbreakable trees is pretty neat, and it will be easier to zip through the forests now.
Edinburgh looks like the best city in FH yet.
THE CLASSICAL RADIO STATION IS BACK HELL YES
 
I really like this particular TOD lighting for spring. Much more impressive looking than the yellow filtered summer in the first stream.

And it looks like there's an actual christmas tree modeled for the drag strip at the airport (16:30ish on the Youtube VOD). I wonder if it'll be functional or just a prop.
