Forza Series:
Forza Horizon 4/5
Forza Motorsport
another Forza Game
Hey,
The Forza series for me is already the best racing game/simulation series of all times, but there are always a few things even in the best games to improve and do it even better…
So what I personally, and I think you all too, want for the next Forza Horizon is the following:
I had made a Video on YouTube already about this topic, but it was about Horizon 3 before it was out and only in german, but if youre interested feel free to watch it:
I have not so much time to make another Video about what i want to talk about here, but i hope the creators of Forza recognize it and put much of it in the games…
Horizon 4 is already half way done i think but maybe for Horizon 5:
For a reason I don’t know, the XBOX Controller has many buttons, but not all are used for the game already,.
These are my opinions for some increments:
a button for light on/off
a button for Traction Control/ABS/Stability control on/off
a button for opening/close the roof on convertibles
a button for switching trough the display or something in the interior
a button for a special GoPro/Drone Mode where you can start recording your driving or fly around with the drone
a button for using nitrous
Adding convertibles, limousines and station wagons:
I think every one wants to choose his own car configuration, so wouldn’t it be great if you can choose your style of the vehicle in the future.
For example:
At the moment you can only choose a Mercedes C63 S AMG,
but what if you can go to the dealer and switch between the cars and if you found your dream car you can choose if it’s a coupe, a limousine or a wagon…
So every car in the game you can have in different styles
That would be new in the racing game world.
The Vehicle History has to appear or can be selected right before a race too.
So you can check how many races you have already been raced/won/lost with this car and decide if you drive with this one or
choose another…
At the car-buying screen or at the painting screen the color choose panel has to be in the right size so it doesn’t cover any part of the car, and the ability to turn the car around has to be in that first color choosing screen too, instead of in the next.
Another cool thing would be the original factory color names of the cars and the possibility to choose a interior color etc
The fine adjustment of the colors would be great too.
A customization of the own garage would be awesome.
so you can change the basement/layout of the garage/building (workshop, factory, warehouse, barn, hangar, underground car park, ships hull…)
another point is to have more garages for different vehicles all around the map which each location is different and customizable. But with an easy switching tool between them for fast travel and shift cars between them, but not with loosing the good overview and easy access of the cars.
a big highlight were always the barn finds.
some more of these would be brilliant. But some different designs of themselves an the locations where they are so they don’t look all the same.
for example: old factory, storage hall, film studio, underground tunnel, graveyard, junkyard
Another big point is that we can find there some really rare or iconic special cars.
so some are oldtimers and rare iconics and others are famous movie vehicles.
for example: Batmobiles, General Lee, Ecto-1, Scooby-Doo Van, Eleanor, Smokey and the Bandit Pontiac, Starsky & Hutch Torino, Back to the Future DeLorean, Knight Rider, Christine, Herby, James Bond Aston Martins, Green Hornet Car, Stallones Expendables Ford Truck, A-Team Bus, Taxi from Taxi Driver, Bumblebee, Mad Max Cars, Police Car from Blues Brothers, Peugeot from Taxi Taxi, Lightning McQueen from Cars, Jaguar from Austin Powers, Death Proof Cars, Bullitt Mustang, Truck from Jeepers Creepers and more
More boards to crash and more streets to explore
More locations/buildings etc to explore and drive through and being destroyable…
for example: old factory, storage hall, film studio, underground tunnel, graveyard, junkyard…
more showcases in the career
for example: tank, moviecars, boats, storms, animals
maybe as free DLCs to improve the capacity of the disk version owners…
more add ons like fast and the furious, blizzard mountain, hot wheels
way more new cars, that come out after the game, as afterwards DLCs (F 812 Superfast, Chiron, GT2 RS, ZR1, BMW M5…)
More visual tuning:
fenders and wheelhouses that can be drawn out stepless
more liberty walk and rocket bunny options
more aftermarket parts (maybe as DLCs)
nitrous for some cars as aftermarket part
tire brands, brake brands etc…
a Forza app like Forza hub, for PC and especially mobile phones where you have a overview over your game and can make some settings and buy cars when you are not at home, control your auctions, garage, achievements, codex etc, (like the battlefield 1 app)
spotify support instead of groove music and also in the menu (cause groove isn`t there anymore…)
race tracks where you can go in the open world
dust, little stones and leaves that swirl around if you drive over it
different rendering modes for the photo mode (like in uncharted lost legacy)
individual vehicle files with history, story, facts, famous owners + movie appearances…
unlockable codex entries (like in BF1) for vehicles/brand that you can unlock by doing different things like jumps, drifts, driven time, etc
more tunnels all over the map, more winding roads, mountain roads…
an open world mode which you can not achieve any sort of game relevant things in it, but can train your skills and can have fun.
so you can free configure weather, traffic and daytime.
a more realistic damage system which can differentiate between metal and plastic materials
facts and statistics on the loading screens
sponsor missions like in horizon 1
sandbox mode for creating your own environment and tracks
adding famous car-spotters and youtubers to the career, in what way ever…
like: Shmee150, SOL, Seen Trough Glass, Effspot, Vehicle Virgins, Autovlog, Salomondrin, Daily Driven Exotics, JP Performance…)
Houses/Garages/Dealerships/Brands like in Test Drive Unlimited
fast car change from any point in the game
big improvements on the auction house, so you can directly resell a car or more at the same time
if it wasn’t sold on the first auction, instead of getting it back first and have to place it new.
no garage limitations like in horizon 3
Forza Motorsport 8:
in the pause menu while racing I want to see the name of the track, how often raced this track before, actual racing time, last round time, best round time, number of laps, planned time till finish,
a HUD that I can configure for my own needings: actual racing time, last round time, best round time, number of laps, planned time till finish,
On the car selection screen I want to see the won and lost races from each car
more fictitious race tracks like in Forza 3 and 4 or like the Dubai race track
on the minimap of each race track I want to see a hook on each corner I have passed perfect (like in NFS Shift), would be a nice little gimmick…
A new Forza Game:
maybe called “Forza-Classic” or “Forza-History”…
contains:
old races
old cars
all historical correct
complete racing history from the beginning of driving till the 90´s
for example: old races on Cuba, the battle between Niki Lauda and James Hunt, the first races on the Nürburgring
drag races in America, street races
So, thats it
a short overview about what i think about the series so far
sorry about my bad english btw
let me know what you think about the Forza series and what you would change or add to it
