Where do you think Forza Horizon 4 will take place?
My guess is somewhere in Asia - likely Japan. Horizon 1 was USA, 2 was Europe (Italy), and 3 is Australia. US, Europe, and Australia all have strong car cultures and those games had a collection of cars unique to those areas. Those locations also have a good variety of street and off road areas. Japan has a strong car culture and lots of country to drive around in. This isn’t a wishlist / hope - I mean, I don’t really care if it’s Japan or not, I just feel like it’s Asia’s turn and there are a ton of weird / obscure little Japanese cars they could put in.
They should move back to the City/State motif of Horizon 2, just as they crafted Australia after Horizon 1. If they do move back to the USA, which would be great, they should concentrate on about 4 to 5 states in the South West of California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona with road trips etc. Among those four states there are enough driving roads and scenery to die for: from the Grand Canyon to San Francisco, Carson City, Tempe…oh my - that would be epic.
The could have done the same with Australia by including Sydney and Melbourne but they didn’t, hopefully because they had already started work on the grand vision of the South West USA that will be Forza Horizon 4 !!!
I hope some day there’s a game that includes Kansas City… even The Crew - which has the entire US - left it out. They had St. Louis… then it went straight to the plains (KS / eastern Colorado) and then the mountains… bummer for sure.
I also went up to where I used to live on the tip of Lake Superior - biggest freshwater port in the US, and it was just a random forest…
I was just thinking Japan would be something different. The west / southwest would be cool (and could also include that Japanese car influence if it had a section like LA), but the desert stuff would be pretty close to Horizon 1, I feel.
