The only problem that annoyed me about fh4 was the road size
This is British roads
FH5 is just wide empty roads barely any traffic. It’s just no fun
As a dedicated wheel user, FH5 is better because of the better physics and it’s sad really that they made such a huge improvement that most players cannot appreciate fully.
Otherwise they are for all intents and purposes the same game with slightly different rosters and locations, which is clearly a successful business model for games these days.
Fh5 is better at some aspects of physics.
They both have their flaws. As @PlageBLN has stated countless times, the RWD and tire physics are completely borked.
I know so many people favor FH4’s map, and while I agree it feels denser I genuinely prefer FH5’s roads. FH4 had way too many off-camber turns over blind hills that seemed intentionally designed to yeet your car into a tree. Likewise, there are multiple tracks in FH4 where I’d audibly groan seeing them come up in the playlist. (Special shout-outs to the abysmal Mudkickers’ park and that “dirt” track that’s almost 90% asphalt.) As a whole I enjoy the basic FH5 driving experience substantially more.
Just saying this because I apparently haven’t said it already in this thread.
Forza Horizon 3 was and is a better game than 4. The removal of custom championships and the move to try and get a wider appeal at the cost of fundamental racing game elements were such massive missteps for the franchise. They were only buoyed by the lack of legitimate competition and games pass.
The only things better about 4 and 5 were a proper iteration of physics and the larger car lists (notice I didn’t say better as that is a highly subjective topic). Those are the two most important things in my view, and that’s why I’m still playing FH5 over the other two, but other than those two aspects, the franchise has taken a nosedive. It’s pathetic.
The worst part is that PGG puts lots of good work into this game. They just always fall short of what the game needs, or even at times outright ignore it to go chase butterflies. I have never once since I became a fan of the series ever questioned their work ethic. Only their decision making and critical thinking skills. It boggles my mind how much wasted effort is put into this franchise.
No.
Cars and overall feel → FH5
Multiplayer, Racing → FH4
Clubs → FH3
The map in FH5 is boring… Barely playing 5 nothing screams fun there… 4 was different with the multiplayer u jumped in and played for hours. In FH5 online it shows points but almost whole lobby changed not even sure why it shows something, it’s useless… It’s already enough starting online, u select car and game throws u in empty world and u have to wait and then it starts new event and u select car again. Or you hit lobby with worst people to meet, idk… Same with eventlab, in theory its good thing u can play forever but yeah the first event it suggested yesterday was empty eventlab island with some checkpoints and u had todo 3 laps.
With FH5+ completly going eventlab the forza franchise needs new game now sitting between motorsport and horizon…
One thing that was definitely better in FH4 free roam were the Forzathons. They were basically always crowded and one if not the main thing in free roam. Players would litteraly flock there and stop doing what ever else they were doing just to meet up, show off their cars and do something together. The Arcades in FH5 completely killed this. I don’t really know why. Maybe because they aren’t starting at proper gathering places like parking lots and the like or because they simply are “lame” compared to Forzathons? I guess the max 12 players in a public session took its toll here, too.
I don’t think it’s that complicated, it’s 8 per hour in FH5 vs 1 in FH4.
That’s presumably one of the reasons but surely not the sole one. Maybe there also isn’t that much incentive to aquire FP as in FH4? Fact is compared to FH4 it’s simply a fiasco in this game and like said I blame a good part of it on the Arcades not starting at proper gathering places and the 12 players in a session limit.
Freeroam Multiplayer lobbies was better done in FH4 not just the Forzathon.
Rly liked the small counter thingy wich showed above minimap with coop events was hopping in lots of them whenever this thing popped up. Missions or whatever showed up there now coop is locked in missions…
If u had boring/empty lobby there was button in menu to find new one. Now the game decides what people u see…
FH6 leaked map is china
Is anyone actually buying that ‘leak’?
Every driving game is in china now so idk. its just forza added a lot of chinese cars into the game.
but its just a theory i saw
“a lot”
the leaked map I saw was a literal joke, it was superimposed on a diagram of a certain part of the male anatomy
Sounds like someone frequents r/BuiltFromTheGroundUp.
