[Reminder to Car Pass owners about how to collect the included cars without paying for DLC again.](https://forums.forza.net/turn10_postst118823_Downloading-Car-Pass-Cars.aspx)
My opinion as well. Should have added another Chevy ZR, but not a ZR2. A ZR1 would have been better here.
However, I´m not gonna lie: I am looking forward to drive the Chevy and the Volvo in FH4
Funny you should say that, I thought the same. Basically, whenever they add an SUV or truck to this on-track racing game, my first thought is driving it in FH4.
They are either blatantly ignoring the community asking them to stop with the SUVs and Trucks or… They are very cleverly adding all these and then dropping some sort of off road expansion on us at some point in the near future.
Personally I think they are just ignoring everyone lol
The car packs are likely planed out far enough in advanced that it is too late to change anything. It takes a lot of time to make these cars, So it is not that they are ignoring us, it is that everything was already set months ago and can’t be changed.
The reality is that they share the cars with Forza Horizon so they don’t have to spend that much time in making cars. When Turn 10 doesn’t want to add gravel tracks like GT Sport does (great tracks btw), why even bothering about those off road cars. We know after the last carpack allready 95% of the cars in FH4. GT Sport took ages before release and don’t have that much content, however the cars are good. Quality over quantity.
But who cares, it will not change, Turn 10 will not go back to the basics and give us a FM8 what is all about racing with lots of new and existing tracks and loads of real sportcars instead of limousines, vans and trucks. FM7 was the las FM I bought for full price.
I agree with Kohaku that they share cars with Forza Horizon so making them doesn’t take as long. But also to your point Shanic, they are planned well ahead of time and if that is the case they should have the hind sight to try to cater to those cars by maybe throwing us a handful of off-road tracks. Something like a Global Rallycross track or a trophy truck dirt track.
Option 3: automakers are making them include them in game when doing licensing deals and they thought putting them into car packs gradually would be better damage control for their inclusion that putting them in main game and being accused of padding car list to get to 700 total.
I wouldn’t mind if they added a bit of off-road with an expansion, maybe some mixed surface tracks that go from tarmac to gravel/dirt and back again. That would make sense of some of the trucks/SUVs that have been added as they’re not a lot of fun around normal tracks… in my opinion of course. I don’t think I’d be into a full on rally expansion though.
My preference leans more towards sports cars, as they’re desirable and fun (for me) to drive. And considering my name’s not Jay Leno it’s unlikely I’ll be able to afford a garage full of them any time soon.
And to those people who are complaining about the complainers, people like to vent when they’re unhappy, I feel the same way at times. It’s just human nature. When you pay up front for the Car Pass you look forward every month to unveiling something special. You understand it’s going to be a mixed bag but you hope there’s going to be something that’ll make you want to get out there straight away and put a smile on your face. By committing up front with the Car Pass you’re putting trust in T10 to provide a good range of vehicles, but if a lot of people are generally unhappy then I’d hazard a guess that T10 will sell a lot less Car Passes in future. I always bought them up front, but if there’s going to be a predominance of trucks/SUVs from now on then it’s probably going to be better to wait until after all the monthly Car Packs are released and pick & choose 2 or 3 you’d most like to purchase.
It’s one word that is a bit hyperbole but I think you know what point he was trying to make. Out of the 5 car packs, 22% of the vehicles have been SUVs/Trucks. In a game that has no featured use for SUVs/Trucks. When a track focused racing game is still missing many iconic or historic cars and 22% of the added cars have been trucks, there’s a problem. There’s 6 Raptors. 6! Why do we need 6 Raptors? It’s turning into Gran Turismo and it’s abundance of Skylines.
Problem is that not only classic cars are missing (which we are missing a lot, agreed), but Forza also has a gigantic lack of modern cars, it matters not wether they are road cars or race cars. So adding SUVs and Trucks which many people actually do not want in a racing game like this (Myself included even tough I like my Chevy Colorado Performance setup) does not sound like a marketing strategy that works brilliantly at first. But in my opinion I see a pattern that I do not like:
In FH3 we got cars in DLC like a Viper ACR, Aston Martin Vulcan, F50 GT, Lotus 3-Eleven… Cars that can race on the road and I had fun driving every single one of them in FH3, but I always thought “Would be more fun to drive them around a race track in the next Motorsport game”
Now in FM7 we get cars like the Colorado, the new Cayenne, the Jeep Trackhawk… Cars that I do want to drive in the next Horizon (And I have seen many people who want them in Horizon as well)
So honestly: I think that they know these cars do not fit in the current game but keep adding them so that people do buy the next game
22% still isn’t predominant and aside from a few outliers, like the Raptor, the majority of them are performance variants there were not meant to be used off-road.
