Before I start this, let me say that I don’t know anything about programming or anything like that so I don’t know how they (PG/T10/SD) would do this, and I loved the DJs commentary in the first one, but something that I and other would appreciate.
It would be good if the Radio DJs + ANNA/Alice didn’t repeat themselves every 5 minutes. It would be nice if they only said the same thing every 1 hour. Now, being that there is 6 stations it will be less frequent, but I hate hearing the same thing about the parties or the driving when you said the same thing 5-10 minutes ago!
Also brining me to my next part, it would be nice to not here “Who is going to win the festival?”/ “You might win” when I’ve completed the game! So if they could only say that till you’ve finished the gameplay, that would be great. And obviously the worst one “Check out the autoshow!” That was SO annoying.
Lastly, I’ve seen this a lot, but SHUTTING OFF ALICE! I don’t know if she is in going to be there again in the 360 version, or if ANNA is going to be that annoying, but I’d like to shut her up.
Does anyone know if this could be changed and do you agree?
I know what some of you are going to say, this isn’t GTA, it’s Forza, and so on, but… the many more stations in the GTA games were much more varied and the commentary took a long time to come all the way around. They of course even had talk themed stations so you could hear something besides the same tracks. It would be novel to have an Italian or French language station with subtitles for a little hint of local flavor.
Well, since Horizon is also a music festival, it is expected that a soundtrack is a big part of the game, whether you intend on listening to it or not. Even if not using the stations during driving and racing, I imagine many would appreciate the ability to listen to music during other aspects of the game: while in the menus, painting, tuning or buying cars.
If having music off completely is your thing - great. But, yes, it is weird to suggest that music is irrelevant in a game where it is part of the theme. I would also be careful in suggesting that your gaming style is superior to those who enjoy the music throughout all aspects of gameplay. It comes off very ‘elite-ish’.
Oh i’m not better than anyone,far from it! I was just saying how i like to play,far be it from me to tell anyone else how to enjoy their game. We should all play the game the way we want. I would not even know how to be"elite" Shadow.
Copy. Just thought I’d retort before the “engine sound is better than music” bandwagon began to accept riders. Everyone playing the game the way they see fit is, by far, the best way to approach this subject.
There’s a lot they could do with this feature if they so chose. I could see a BBC station as being part of the mix, as well as a Euro electronica mix station.
Because Horizon Pulse is confirmed, my thought is that the regular 3 are coming back. My personal ones would be:
-Pulse
-Bass Arena
-Rap station (for my hood jams lmao)
-A comedy/talk station
A Southern Euro station with cool music there. I’ve never been, and many other people haven’t either, so that would be cool.
-A comedy/talk station/A station talking about festival events and things. All you know is its a festival and nothing else. The h1 commentators like Holly said “tell me whats happening at the festival and ill read some”, but never did! I know its just supposed to just be a space to fill time, but I think because you can not get out of your cars and see the festival, and it is Forza, that would be cool. Just have a DJ say “_____ thinks ____ is cool at the festival today! send your tweets in” something like that. Does anyone else want that?
Also Another thing that would help the festival atmosphere, is if people were actually perfuming on stage! Even if it was just a boy or girl on stage! At night its really cool, but during the day with no fireworks, it’s a stage.
I guess that’s where you an I differ. I actually like the themed music stations on games like the GTA series where the DJ commentary flows into the style of music being presented and gives the game world more character and ambiance. If all you want is music, than play your iPod during the game.
I wouldn’t mind having the old DJs from FH1 back but I would also like DJs with regional accents (French/Italian.) I think it would add a lot to the feel of being in southern Europe… Besides, imagine a woman with a sexy Italian accent to accompany the roar of your Alfa Romeo 8C and chilled out tunes of Horizon Pulse! Bliss.
