Forza Horizon 4 Features Wish List

Why is there still no camera angle without the steering wheel and hands?
It would be a lot better if I could race just with one wheel instead of two in front of me.

If they’re already modelled, how are they taking away from dev time in other areas?

In Forza Horizon 4 I would absolutely love to have lift kits that we can put on trucks that would just add a whole new thrill to the game I’ve been waiting for this feature to be added!!!

Things to Improve upon in FH4. Starting early so that Turn 10 can integrate these things in before it is too late.

  1. Quarter Mile Drag Strip. This is an easy one, you could have it as a secondary strip next to the airport, which would make the drag race a lot more realistic. In fact, the Redstone airport’s runway is 1.20 miles long, not really a good number for drag racing. Sort this out in the next airport please.

  2. Bigger Map. I know this is a standard one, but Turn 10 really needs to focus on the new map. I wouldn’t mind waiting an extra few months or even a year if that meant a bigger and more polished map than what would be created in the usual yearly time limit.

  3. The City. Considering this is the first time Turn 10 have had a crack at a free roam city, surfers paradise could be worse. But a lot better. The city’s suburb’s are tiny and the city centre is unrealistic. For a future city, consider adding parking lots, shopping malls, tight streets with more cars, alleyways, and the general atmosphere of city life. More rough and much larger suburbs would add to the city, and a highway system would be nice too.

  4. The roads and cars. Sure, the graphics are nice, but there’s a lot more to making a good road than that. The roads in FH3 go in illogical patterns considering the geography of the map, as Turn 10 tries to integrate tight turns and challenging chicanes. But we need a place like Beaumont in FH1, where proper race cars are catered for. Also, MORE THAN ONE HIGHWAY PLEASE. FH2 got this perfect, 2 highways of decent length with good detail and awesome geography, but make the roads realistic, ending in usual highway fashion with streetlights for busy junctions. And PLEASE, more traffic. The traffic isn’t in the levels you would expect from the places in the map.

A couple of ideas.

  1. Put the number plate on the front as well. Why didn’t you put it on both sides of the car?
  2. Please, Please, Please NO V12 SWAPS IN D AND C CLASS. It just messes up an otherwise accurate upgrade path.
  3. More variation in spoilers and bumpers. I’m fed up of seeing a huge, unsightly rear wing for upgrades on cars like the Wraith and Regalia.
  4. Make new car designs available to apply in the menu like tuning is. I don’t see any reason why not.
  5. Control items like headlights, wipers, INDICATORS!!!
  6. Make driver AI better. I get annoyed when I’m flashed because the AI in front has stopped for no reason.
  7. Same with many others, it’s only AMG and Ferrari engines that really sound that different. Please add more engine sounds.
  8. Please add an engine TURNOFF feature! And make it start in a realistic way too.

List of possible cars to think about:

Delahaye 148 (Absolute beauty)
Cizeta V16T
Koeningsegg CCX
Lamborghini Espada
Lamborghini Egoista
Spyker C8 Laviolette
Spyker B6 Venator
Peugeot Partner, Citroen Nemo etc. You could make them Vans and utility!
Porsche 356
Jaguar XJ6
Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer
Mercedes G63 6x6 (come on!)
Maybach 57/62
Pagani Zonda Tricolore/F/Riviera/Revolucion
AC 3000ME
Reliant Scimitar
Triumph Stag

  1. ALSO, FINAL THING. CONVERTIBLES! You can make the convertibles real convertibles, with the button underneath the left stick (push it in and convertible time!). It could operate below 30mph and take a realistic time to open and close. It would be awesome and it would be touches like that that make Forza stand out from other games.

Best of luck with FH4.

First of all I really love this series and spend alot of time playing it and I am also active in different groups etc in social medias. Somethings that I would love to see in the future is the possibility to have private auctions, for an example in a club where only club members can bid and where its possible to put any price up till 1 billion :yum:. Also if you could make a simpler app for the phone where its possible to access the auction house… Spend alot of the time there hunting bargains and lastly if you could make the designer tool a bit better, have the ability to paint freehandly would make it alot easier and put in an option in the ah or the designer tool where you could sell designs. Thanks alot for one of the best games out there and keep up the good work.

My ideas for Forza Horizon 4 (or 5):

+Add more interaction with vehicles.Little details is what matters.
-turning headlights on and off
-switching between low,high beam headlights and fog lights
-turning car on and off
-option to adjust driver seat
-adjusting radio (music) volume (to be mapped on controller,not just a setting in menus)
-switching electronic assists on and off through controller in real time (just like radio volume)
-and most important,animations for all above. It would be really good detail if there were animations of hand turning radio on/off,adjusting volume,switching lights,turning car on/off…
-turning head for more than 90 degrees

+More in-depth single-player
-in Forza Horizon 1 we were racing to be number 1,but in FH3 we are racing more for fun than for competition.In new FH we need better goal which will motivate us to complete events.After completing single-player in FH3,there isn’t really anything to motivate us to complete the rest of events(their only purpose was to expand festival sites,but we need something better than that in new FH)
-more cut-scenes (like those in FH1). Again,festival atmosphere in FH1 was the best in the series,mostly thanks to the cut-scenes.Characters in FH3 were good,but we didn’t really see them at all,only hear them.I don’t want to feel like a stranger on my festival (FH3),we need more connection with characters and environment.
-more customize options for festival sites
-one main festival site (which is the biggest),and other sites as hubs (smaller) like FH1
-personalized characters as rivals (like FH1). Instead of just beating showcases to finish single-player,there should be rivals as well
-story missions.Just like someone above said,delivery missions,competing against rivals,showcases (of course) and more
-more customize options for character we play,for example: gloves,accessories,clothing,helmets,hats and more.Also,maybe customisable looks for our character.

+Multi-player
-bring back lobbies
-whole multi-player segment needs an overhaul.Online adventures in FH2 and FH3 become boring after a while
-separate progression system for multi-player
-penalties for violent driving in events

+Location
-Norway.From FH2 and later in FH3, open world was more and more spacious.This place would perfectly fit in FH4.
-more short roads,like ones in FH1.Roads in FH2 and FH3 were too wide. Norway would be perfect because there’s so many short mountain roads,and I think that’s what FH2 and FH3 were missing.
-more viewpoints
-less empty spaces,more better designed environment
-more quality roads
-at least one race track in open-world

+Garage.
-we would like to inspect more than one car at a time.It shouldn’t include too many cars though.

+ForzaVista anywhere

+Redesigned menus.
-FH1 had its own menu design,FH2 and FH3 had their but new FH shouldn’t have same type of menus again 3rd time in a row
-better organized auction house,storefronts etc.
-option to sell cars. The only way to sell a car in FH3 was through auction house,but there should be more simpler way.

+Most important,better optimization for PC

I hope that developers are reading comments from this discussion,because there’s so many great ideas in this thread.

Also,one more thing. Next Forza should bring back radio music in menus,rewind and map. In FH2 and FH3 no music in menus breaks the atmosphere.

I wont be buying the next version :wink: unless they add bikes to it.

I agree with a lot of the things on here. and in my opinion I think they for car radios that they should add spotify compatibility so you can play your personal music. ( I do know that groove music does that)

First off, I love turn 10 for everything forza. My gaming experience wouldn’t be the same without them. So thank you. But I would like to see a few things for the next horizon game. Mount Fuji. The drifters paradise. I’d like to see a Japanese horizon festival. I feel like it would bring together the real world aspect with the nostalgic love of forzas racing authenticity. And I’d like to see the engine swap capability be more make specific. I mean, yeah you can drop any crate motor into any make or model, but the crossovers should be apparent crossovers.

I agree, Forza Horizon 4 NEEDS to have Spotify integration. You had to remember from last year when someone said that Spotify can be used in Forza 7 as in-game music ā€˜at a later date’, but that feature never came. They may have had a very hard time trying to get Spotify integrated into Forza 7 and that it was impossible to do. It cannot be impossible THIS time for Horizon 4, I’m telling you!

I just thought of this but I think FH4 should have like a setting before you enter the game to turn on things like separate car dealerships, police, or like super realistic crash physics Etc. I know this might seem like a bad idea.

Please add HE version of ALL vehicles in the next version.
Please add a proper side to side view in cockpit view, not like the one we got now, where it feels like you just click and view. It should be feeling like the user turns his or hers head.
Please make the online part more like what TDU2 had to offer players. Like police and homes etc.
Please add option for users to see what parts is to be changed in a load tuning from other players, i dont mean the tuning stats, i mean like rims tyres etc. Also, let users have a option to not accept all parts from it.
Please allow users to only make tuning stats for people to download, so users that downloads them can pick their own parts, like tyres rims etc…
Please allow players to buy with tokens on Auction and in this case, the system will automatic set the value in tokens. So if a player sets a car to be buyout for 200K, then the system shows the value of that in tokens for people to buyout. Not to bid, but only as a buyout option.
Thank you for reading.

For Forza Horizon 4, I think there should be gas stations with a convenience store and car wash around the map where your car can actually get gas and get a car wash. It would also be cool if there is body kit, under glow, and nitrous oxcide as upgrades to buy. I was also thinking there should be more highways, tunnels, and bridges since there’s a lot of those in Japan. There should also be traffic lights, train crossing, signs, and toll booths as well. The also needs to be a series of personal garages to go to so you can customize your car in a more realistic way besides the festival sites. I was thinking as a cool feature if there was an abandoned racetrack that you can just drive into. For the DLC packs, I think there should be an Initial D one with all the cars from the series.

I agree on everything (especially on a car package Initial D), except the NOS.
It’s enough for me that the game is set in Japan and that the model of driving is not touched, the best of all.
I’m Italian, sorry for my not perfect English.

In my opinion, it’s about time to overhaul the tuning mechanics and give you more setting to play with as far as actual engine tuning and things like that, considering that they’ve been using the same tuning options since Forza Motorsport 3.

Traffic lights, gas stations, car wash would be a good thing to have in forza. I’m not sure neon glow and nitrous oxide would work in forza. Possible to have toll booths, tram crossings/ using the road.

My personal wishlist for FH4 would be:
-A bigger map (similar to the crew) with lots of different environments, elevation change and hidden areas, A map you can get lost in
-More car kits, multiple options for each car, not just one kit for a few cars
-No driver gear, homologation or car collection tiers, just scrap everything new to FM7
-No loot boxes
-Different types of road
-Race track
-Club vs Club races
-ā€˜Build your own track’ races
-A nice, immersive progression through the game, the last game felt a bit empty in terms of the career
-Some nice cars that are not in car packs
-A large scale arena game
-Stunning scenery
-More variety of cars
-Every car in a multiplayer lobby would have a V12 engine if the option was there which meant all the cars were just shells, making the same noise and making all the cars handle the same, it would be nice if it was harder to swap engines so that the cars kept their feel (soul)
I doubt a developer will read this and I know that some things are probably to ambitious but if even half of this stuff was implemented, FH4 would be brilliant.

I agree with them if they consider changing the tuning options so that you could like turn up the amount of boost a turbo makes, be able to change ecu settings like the being able to make the revs high as it would be good for drag builds.
