Yeah, clothing and emotes. Bleeugh! All FH4 needs is a Battle Royale DLC to truly be the Fortnite of car games.

I agree that FH3 is still generally a better game than FH4.
FH4 has seasons (but then they ruined it by not allowing players to choose the desired season for free roam), a custom route creator (with a terrible UI) and some neat cars (and some proper driving roads), but in terms of gameplay there’s been so many regressions with game progression, the loss of class choice in multiplayer and player-created custom championships, and obscene amounts of locked content among other things that it’s not even funny.
The sad thing is, if all PG had done was re-release FH3 with a new map, a bit of polish and QoL improvements/bugfixes, some new graphics in the UI, and few new cars it would have been a much better game than what we actually got with FH4.

Nailed it! My thoughts exactly with H4.
FH4 for me. Having new content set in a different season every week keeps me interested. After you unlocked all the festivals in FH3 the ony single player content is grinding championships.

You forgot to mention the Class Based Event Leaderboards and Rivals in FH3. They provided infinite replayability for me.
FH4 is a weekly exercise to complete Forzathon and Seasonal events. A few hours at the most, then it’s back to FM7 to build, tune and race some cars.

I have no interest in driving around the same empty track for hours on end.

Hey guys. I have fh3 on my windows 10 laptop and for some reason when I press the key to start, it just keeps saying “Loading. Please wait” at the bottom left corner and for about half an hour I left it do this and it still never let me sign in or anything. I noticed it’s a little laggy at first when it says to press the key to start, but during the time thet it’s laggy, it won’t even let me start when i press the key to start. It’s an infinite loading screen. Please help me.
FH4 is better for me simply by location and of course the seasons. I played FH3 so much I dont even wanna see Australia anymore lol. I only turn on that game to collect the CR and then back to FH4. I dont need much, new locations, new goals and new rides. MP could be better but i’ll manage until fixes come

It’s a small thing but #Forzathon Achievements in Forza Horizon 3 kept me coming back every week, for over 2 years.
I’m already done with Forza Horizon 4 and with the state of competitive Multiplayer right now I have no desire to return.

Already played FH4 more than FH3. Seasons and custom routes help a lot ; same as the better car roster. What I really miss from FH3 is the ability to create your own championships - but to go and say that FH3 is better, well, that’s looking at it through rose-tinted glasses. FH4s festival is better ; it really feels like one this time, unlike the micro ones from FH3 which were lacklustre.

In my opinion:
#Forzathon Achievements in Forza Horizon 3 kept me coming back every week for over 2 years. This got Credits, discounts off cars and locked cars that nearly all could get. Unlike FH4 where cars are locked behind the ability Levels for the top 2% or so.
FH4 graphics/Seasons way better than FH3.
Come back after two years of FH4 and the answer may be different tho’.

Imo, overall Horizon 3 delivers the better package. It launched way more polished and most features had some meat to them. There was a sense of progression (which Horizon 4 completely lacks after the prologue), a better online mode, Rivals, bucket lists and generally a higher production quality. BUT the terrible PI system killed a lot of fun for me because everything somewhat competitive had to be a powersliding AWD-rocketship. Who didn’t love the “rev-banger” WRX on A-class which would put the current Bone Shaker to shame? 1000bhp 70s muscle car on dirt races dominating rally cars? What a blast.
Thus, for building&tuning cars Horizon 4 is way better. The rest…nah; average at best.

Ok, FH 3 had more festival sites, but I prefer the houses in FH 4. Because they match the landscape better and now you can look at your car and pop open its hood (forzavista) outside of the building unlike in FH3. If we could only change daytime, this feature would be perfect.
Forzathon is now better, because you decide what you get for your hard earned FP. In FH 3 you were forced to do certain tasks to get some desired rewards.
The route creator is a nice addition compared to the plain blueprint feature in FH3.
In general, FH 4 gets more content updates and love frome Playground games than FH 3 did at it’s time.
And now that Mitsubishi Evo’s are in, I don’t need to come back to FH 3 anymore. I don’t care about the Toyotas and Lexus.
MP wise - FH3 is better.
Everything else - FH4 is better (although I miss the ability to make custom championships).
FH4 is probably not in its final state yet - so a bit early to give the final opinion.

Really forza H 4 is better than three because you really have so many more things like stunts and chapters
but the character dressing up and doing emotes is just plain stupid
and that when you start a race it very stupid to always show some white screen and a floating glitched car that’s always opens its hood
otherwise is good I guess
In my case FH4 is way better:
- Much better driving physics while using a wheel and better force feedback.
- Quality is better - HD/60fps ect…
- Map is better than 3, plus the additional seasons (I still think the map FH2 was the most satisfying geographical location for me)
- More interesting infrastructure, twisty roads (but still not enough), dirt roads, locations, drag strips
- Houses (brings old TDU memories back <3)
- Photo mode is way better
- More cars
- More car customisation options
- More character customisation option (although they could have skipped the ridicules emotes)
However,
- FH3 has way better car sounds (Its a shame how poorly they have implemented car sounds in FH4, a huge downgrade and it brings me ,and other car enthusiasts, a feel of enormous dissatisfaction.
- Multiplayer, I think don’t need to explain this one…
- We need (improved) car meets like in FH2
- The world feels lifeless some how. I find it difficult to find like minded people who just want to cruise (convoy) around.
Then at last, I understand they want to grow and reach to other players, but instead of adding cringey emotes, Devs should focus and invest in a better game experience and more refinement. Let people open the convertibles, paint brake callipers, let us play our own music, give us a garage feature (dream garage), car meets, more additional parts ect ect. In other words, give us more reasons to go back to the best Forza game of its time.

If I can piece this correctly it just sounds like a fever dream that won’t happen due to realistic reasons (limitations, resources, etc.)
Damned that’s so … Subject saying that FH3 is better gets moved to FH3 … what if one creates “FH4 is worse” in FH3 forum, get moved to FH4 ???

I don’t know if I should be sickened , disappointed or depressed.
FH3 was a horrible disappointment for me in the long run, every time I came back I had less of a reason to…
FH4 was a step up in a way, they’ve updated the sounds (what is this downgrade BS anyway?) and I also like the clothes and emotes cause maybe I want to give a bit personality to my character. (Pink bowlers are pretty stylish if I say so myself)
