I would really love the possibility to swap at least most cars into a police variant and special customization added to them.
Also the ability to choose if you want to be a professional driver with license or more of a illegal driver (feature that comes with races that include police, freeroam police that are patrolling and if they see you driving over the speed limit they might start chasing you (take as example the police and night mechanics in nfs heat).
Another cool mechanic that could be added is the ability to be a part of the police and participate in illegal races as the police and try to catch the others (example the cops dlc from the crew that already has these kinds of features).
I just want to say that adding these features that are already present in older games could make the experience in the newer games better and more fun (I hope it will happen).
Even just a simple cop chase race option. It would be extremely simple (relatively speaking) to program in;
-Racer(s) has to get to the destination
-cop(s) have to stop the racer(s) from getting to their destination.
-vehicle damage is turned on (this is already a feature in the game under options, they barely have to do any programming [again, relatively speaking])
-impliment a statement where once a vehicle hits a certain point under the damage thresholds it is considered ‘busted’ or out of the chase in the event a police car hits the damage threshold
These (above) are the basic principles for making a police chase game mode now let’s get a bit more creative:
-i would suggest using street races and the platform of the events but removing every second checkpoint as to encourage shortcuts
-obiously you would need a minimum of 1 racer, one cop. After that it would go back and forth between racers and cops. 2r,1c. 2r,2c. 3r,2c. Etc. — on the races in which the racers have an advantage over the police there could be a single roadblock put at a random point throughout the race; this roadblock would show up on the cop’s map but not the racers
-if under testing it is apparent that it is easier for the racers you could decrease their grip on any surface other than tarmac
This is an extremely simple form of a police chase game type and all with assets already in the game. It wouldn’t be too hard to implement something like this
No thanks.
Can play NFS if I want police chases
Yes, I agree, maybe if you are speeding in a speed trap an officer will try to pull you over, and maybe patrol cars can sit on the side of the road to stop you from speeding. Of course, that would remove the PG rating from the game potentially. But it would be nice to have police chases as an optional feature, maybe even with slow helicopters to chase you as well for an additional
Challenge! I made a post about this you should check it out.
[Police chases, with a PG twist]
This could be fun if in the midnight races we could be followed by police cars.
Use the search, police have been suggested multiple times
Would never happen. I’m positive that the prescence of police chases automatically gets a game with driving mechanics an immediate T for Teen rating regardless of the rest of the content in the game, and Playground/Microsoft seem pretty content with keeping Horizon at a very low E for Everyone, which is a pity for other reasons.
Also the canon idea is that the Horizon Festival is completely legal and has some sort of permission to let their drivers hoon around so police would be kind of pointless. Except with Street Races. In FH3 they said that those were not supported by the Horizon Festival which is why you race with traffic. They could add police for that though
The idea souds cool but FH is not NFS
you can get cop chases in NFS or from the crew and gta games, forza was never about cop chases, you might as well change games for that matter
I agree. It should remain rated E.
I think police chases could be left out in this franchise leave that in gta and nfs.
There’s partly that function in the PG section. Where you are busy chasing/tagging people.
I’m not wholly opposed. But be warned, it’d amplify the culture of ramming.
or use game mode 1vs1 and the challenger is a police car. If police car wins the other vehicle gets towed away and you pay a fine to get your car out.
This probably won’t be added but could you add ai police cars that if you hit they chase you and depending on how long you have been running from them is how much money you lose but also make it so you can lose them and the money amount starts a 300cr
Even if you make it a game mode for single-player/multi-player
I suggested this to, get pulled over or drop a few gears and run it .
It would be fun
