in honor of the new expansion's commitment to providing more of the Sick Jumps I crave, here's me completing this week's seasonal photo challenge in the most ridiculous way possible
Do they ever take anything well, though?Reddit is not taking this well at all, but thats to be expected.

Lol, not even surprised at all. Just a bunch of soured folk who'd find LITTERALLY anything to cry about. 🥱Reddit is not taking this well at all, but thats to be expected.
Well, there’s also the GT7 subforum here…No one hates a game more then it's own Reddit community.
"Bah, Scumbug!"Reddit is not taking this well at all, but thats to be expected.
I was waiting for that as well. HmmmmmThey kept saying they were going to show the map for the new expansion, but I don't recall seeing it. Did I miss it or did they just not show it?

Yeah, the fact that the Modern Rally class is apparently still going to be nothing but WRXs and Evos (plus a FWD Focus that's older than FM1) is a bummer, though maybe not as much as more cars for the other rally classes they conceivably could have added (even excluding Lancia, Abarth, etc.).My thoughts on expansion 2 at the time I watched the streaming:.
Good:
- New map: Tough off-roads and winding. It is a little disappointing that there is not much greenery, but it is a good map that will allow for fun rally.
- Rally mode: I have been waiting for this feature to return. Finally that dream has come true.
- New rally style upgrade parts: Anti-Lag Turbo is a good part of improving both performance and cosmetics. Can't wait to install it in my Celica and Evo. And (possibly) the addition of rally kits for some models. It's a familiar generic part, but still a welcome addition to the new body kit.
- New cars: Colin McRae's iconic Focus WRC, the Ford F-150 Lightning, and the new Buggy and Trophy Trucks!
It's too bad they didn't include rally raid cars like the DAF TurboTwin, but the new cars are perfect for my off-roading love.- Epitaph Records: I also like dubstep and hip-hop, but I believe the best music genre for racing games is high-speed rock and punk. Welcome back, Epitaph!
Bad(or more accurately, bewildered):
- Car lists: I am a fan of those cars and am also delighted that there are so many completely new models. But there is also a bit of puzzlement in the list, which is dominated by Buggy/ATVs and Trophy Trucks. My personal opinion is that by reducing the number of cars in these categories a bit and including modern rally cars in different categories like Rally Raid and Rally Cross, or modern AWD road cars like the GR Yaris or legendary rally cars like the Audi RS002, the expansion 2 s car list would have been more spectacular and gained more appeal to a variety of players.
- The release is a month away: they must be trying to starve me to death to have to wait another month for such an interesting expansion.
That quarry looks like it combines the best of the quarry from England and the gold mine from Australia. I think it's going to be a lot of fun.The deep sand looks great and I hope it has a noticeabke effect on the cars' performance. Along with the quarry conveyor belts and smashable forest it should lead to some interesting EventLab routes.
The catch is that the new TDU and Crew games could offer all kinds of stylish touches and exotic locales and customizable gimmickry and all the bells and whistles people complain Horizon lacks, but the odds of their actual driving model clicking with me the same way Horizon's does is probably going to be pretty low. People like to use the term "simcade" to describe GT and mainline Forza, but it's Horizon that scratches that itch the best for me: it's a fairly stylized approach to racing on the surface, and nobody's going to mistake it for Automobilista anytime soon, but it still has a lot of credible it just feels right work going on beneath where tinkering with tunings and settings actually has a tangible effect on how the car feels and it gives you a credible sense of the car's actual personality. And I doubt those other games' car lists are going to extend beyond the typical "90% late-model halo car / 10% obvious-choice 20th century classics" roster anyways.Maybe I've been playing Horizon too long and want to see something that's not re-iterated from a previous game, but Solar Crown and (hopefully) Motorfest cannot come soon enough.
Horizon needs competition and bad. Maybe I'm experiencing franchise fatigue because this is the last thing that could have piqued my interest. It sucks for me because all I want is to be super excited about barreling down a rally path and launching off a hill.
I fully agree. I even left another site because someone kept beating a dead horse over a certain electric vehicle manufacturer and a Prius.Here's a fun drinking game (I don't drink so you can substitute alcohol for JDM fanboy tears if you want): take a shot everytime you see someone complain about "insert expansion or Horizon game" and mentions the words "urban" or "city" somewhere in there.
I like JDM cars and dumb Fast and Furious shenanigans as much as the next guy, but my God it's beating a dead horse at this stage. The discussion has gotten so obnoxious over the years I actively don't want Horizon to ever be set in Japan because it's tiring. It's been clear for about 57 years now that Playground isn't willing to implement a big, flat city styled map with a hundred generic looking buildings built on a grid filled with nothing but 90 degree corners (at least not for now).
It feels as if every other open-world racing game aside from Horizon has done some kind of big city for its map whether its based on a real location or a fictional one, and it might just be me but they all kind of blend together in the end. Be it NFS, TDU or The Crew, what's so stand out about a typical skyscraper city that makes JDM fans...we'll say "wet" their pants over? Is it just an extremely vocal minority or what?
JDM in general is so overdone and the culture around it so toxic that even the cars themselves (well, atleast the popular Skyline/Supra stuff) tend to not do too much for me, let alone a Tokyo (with togue as an additional bonus) location - I say Tokyo and not Japan cuz Japan is so much more than just Tokyo yet Tokyo is what people think of when they think "Japan" (surely I can't be the only one to find this a bit reductionist?).Here's a fun drinking game (I don't drink so you can substitute alcohol for JDM fanboy tears if you want): take a shot everytime you see someone complain about "insert expansion or Horizon game" and mentions the words "urban" or "city" somewhere in there.

Plus it's a music festival and I'd love to rock out to some township jive, kwaito and 16-hour vuvuzela marathons - ok, maybe not the last one.Seeing as DLC usually has an element in it they're testing for the next release......bring on South Africa for FH6.
Rally stages through the bondu, Table Top Mountain as the focal point of the map, Cape Town as a major coastal hub. Deformable terrian would work great in this environment. And as I've said before FH hasn't visited Africa yet.
I hadn't thought of the music, great shout bud. It would make for a great radio station.Plus it's a music festival and I'd love to rock out to some township jive, kwaito and 16-hour vuvuzela marathons - ok, maybe not the last one.
I don't understand whether "the community" wants this expansion to be Tokyo, FH6 to be Tokyo or every Horizon game from now untqil the end of time to be a city-based tougeing neon-lit dorifto Japanese extravaganza. What would make them happy?
