It’s been a major point of discussion amongst fans for a while now, many of these iconic Japanese tuner cars in Forza have incredibly outdated, or just downright inaccurate, car models (looking at you S15), and some even have taken steps back, as they’ve had all aftermarket bumpers and kits removed as early as Horizon 2, and never had anything added back (The Nissan R32 being the prime example).
With the Horizon series now well into it’s fifth title, and getting ready to celebrate it’s 10 year anniversary of the first horizon game, it’s rather unfair that these fan favorite cars have been neglected a proper model update, while other more unknown or or unused cars in the series have had full revamps. The cars that have been well overdue an update are as follows (by brand):
Nissan:
2000 Nissan Silvia (S15)
1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R
1993 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R
1994 Nissan Silvia K’s (S14 Kouki)
1992 Nissan Silvia K’s (S13)
Subaru:
1998 Subaru Impreza 22b STI
Toyota:
1998 Toyota Supra (MK4)
1985 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex (AE86)
Mazda:
1997 Mazda RX-7
Mitsubishi:
1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI
This list was compiled by not just my opinions, but from many other members of the Forza community, and even some rather popular Forza YouTubers (a few who have well over 1 million subscribers). This, as I have said before, isn’t just a new issue, but been a topic of discussion going as far back as Horizon 3.
We are asking the devs desperately to update these cars, as for being some of the communities most used cars (taking a look back at the early Horizon 5 season that showed what percentage of players drove a car from a specific country) are from Japan, as it brought in a 25% community usage, when the next biggest group was Germany with a 9%, it just seems as if the devs aren’t listening to it’s community, when that is what the devs said they would like to pride themselves on…
I hope this post is able to gain some traction for this, and that the developers please listen to this years long suggestion and request.
