Forza Horizon Legacy Horizon FH3 Discussion
962

Hi, I’d like post some my ideas about Horizon 3.

  1. New setting outside US and Western Europe. Maybe Japan(car culture in Japan was good inspiration for F&F film series and NFS game series). The Japan should detailed as was Hawaii in TDU 1&2 and The Crew US map.
  2. Visual Tuning Options(more body parts like bumpers, side skirts, roof scoops, hoods, changing interior elements, etc) Forza series have the best paint and vinyl system out all racing games.
  3. Ability to convert stock/street legal cars into race track version(like in the crew or shift 2) and some race tracks could be accessable in Horizon
  4. Cops bring to life(( cop bring action and fun to racing games)
  5. Story (FH1 with idea of challenge actual Horizon Champion to have title was nice, it need more story development)
  6. Crew races(we could create team for some events)
  7. more side activities, not boring bucket list

2 Requests:

  1. Add a “pit-stop” option on the voting screen that lets racers vote for a 2 minute pit-stop to allow restroom use, grabbing a drink, etc. without having to either forfeit a race or drop out to single player mode. I can’t tell you the number of times this option would have been unanimously voted for.

  2. I can’t count the number of times someone has verbally wished they could do upgrades during race events. At least a quick auto-upgrade would be worth while.

Bonus: Rubbing the lamp a bit here, but it would be super awesome if I could “waste” all of my time online (on my PC) buying and upgrading cars, painting my cars, etc. so I didn’t have to do it only in the game. keyboards are much nicer than joysticks for this kind of stuff (saving and naming your things) anyway.

Thank you for granting all my wishes!
A student of the game

Please place a vehicle that allows the marking of cars as “Preferred” for each class, so when we play online, displays the first marked cars.

And also the possibility to get out of the online or the lobby we are, before being selected the Destination and the car class the next race.

Forza has improve but still missing a lot of things. 1. Honda crx why isn’t there any side skirt for it. 2. Rims why when you have an idea on the colors you want to put on your rim you only have to put one insted of changing the lip, the center, and the color lug nuts. 3. Some of the cars needs body kits plus wide body kits to. 4. Why cant we change mufflers, side mirrors, and the lights. 5. Why can’t we tune our car. Every thing about this game is style and speed so we all want to see who has the fastes cars.

So many discussions on why you can/can’t do things.
On the tuning front it is because you have the 360 version of FH2 which, like FH1, doesn’t have tuning. The engine for Horizon on the 360 was not built with tuning in mind. At least you have a Horizon 2 to play, could have been nothing at all.

I have been a driver on Horizon since the first day the original Horizon came out. I love this game, and still play it diligently! =D However as a former beta tester, there are some things that caught my eye and I’ve been making note of them over a period of time. Now that my list has gotten big enough, I’d like share with you a few things that I feel need to be brought to your attention. I know you guys watch this thread diligently for helpful feedback, so I have faith you’ll be able to make use of my feedback. I look forward to being able to help out with development in the future! =)

Sincerely,
-ProDanDrifter

→ Horizon 2 needs better “End of race” camera angles. The original Horizon’s system was much better: a different angle to view the different cars finishing the race, depending on the race. In Horizon 2 however, it seems there is only one end-of-race camera angle, so it becomes VERY boring and predictable to watch. I used to enjoy putting on a show for the different end-of-race cameras by performing different drifts at the different cameras achieving a wide variety of angles but now, it’s just the same old camera angle viewing. (from the right-side of the finishing line.) You guys can do better than that! ^.^

→ Horizon 2 needs the ability to disable the “Players” HUD in an online lobby. It can completely block out the rear-view mirror on left-hand drive cars when in the “in-cabin view”, rendering it useless. VERY ANNOYING if you intend to make any use of it at all in an online race! Lol =P

→ PLEASE Fix the spawning cars! Traffic cars in Horizon 2 have a nasty habit of spawning out of NOWHERE only a few feet in front of you whilst in an online race/roadtrip. EXTREMELY ANNOYING for anyone whom has the misfortune of getting cut off by one. You pretty much have to avoid driving in the middle of the lanes on the road to avoid getting hit. So please; make it so the cars can’t/won’t spawn anywhere within 250 meters of someone!~ =)

→ I think it would be very cool if the odometer actually recorded how many miles I’ve driven in that specific car! That would be very cool!! I see that some cars already have odometers that work, but they don’t remember how many miles you’ve driven! What’s the point of that? Lol

→ I think it would be very cool if you could customize/upgrade the gauges on your cars, like the tachometer for example! One can upgrade the cams on their car in Horizon and increase the maximum RPM of that engine. However, when you’re in a car that has those modification done to it, you’ll notice the tachometer revving beyond what the maximum output for that tachometer is! Case and point: My A-Class Toyota Trueno revs up to 9,000 RPM after modifications. However, the tachometer only revs up to 8,000! That’s kinda lame if you ask me. =P

→ I think it would be cool if you could have different rim styles on different axles. Like; have one style of rims in the front, and a different style in back! Just for creativity’s sake. =D

→ (This one I’m rather proud of =D) From the fact that you can drive anywhere to the new “Storm Island” expansion, Horizon 2 has kinda left-out the average drifter whom prefers a more grippy tarmac environment in favor of the ruff & tuff off-roader…HOWEVER, I thought of a simple solution could fix all of this! Two simple words my friend: Drifting Race!~ A new game mode/expansion made entirely for drifting! In this mode; participants will race in regular checkpoint-based races with specified “Grip/Time Attack Sections” & “Drifting Sections” that they MUST drift though at the cost of a penalty. The winner won’t necessarily be whoever comes in first but rather who has the best finishing time. This will also deter ramming trolls! =D

The key to this kind of race is a combination of speed, consistency, and driving skill! ^.^

Here are the rules/principals behind my idea:

  • Entry cars must be RWD only, and fit within the class specifications for tuning. (B/A/S/S1)
  • Contestants must drift around the specified “drifting sections”. Failure to drift will result in a time penalty.
  • Hard contact is prohibited, but ghost mode will NOT be used as close tandem drifting will be an essential part of this event.
  • A one second penalty will be enforced for light contact. A harsher 3-5 second penalty will be enforced for hard contact.
  • Repeated hard-contact during a race will result in expulsion from the lobby.

I got the idea for this drifting event by watching Hot Version on Youtube! Turn 10, you guys should check out this video of EXACTLY the kind of event I just described! Then imagine it being in Horizon 2!! Oooohh sends a shiver of excitement down my spine, it dose!! xD

Check it out for yourself: (Skip to 5:20 for the race =D) - YouTube

My one and only wish is that the cars you see driving around should also be playable in the game such as the 05 legacy!

I really like what ProDan Drifter wrote. Too long to quote, lol. What you/he is writing about is precisely what I have been writing about for the last couple months, only I want the same type of content for drag racing.

A few posts ago I described what I think would be really cool hoping the more drifter savvy people would speak up, give an idea of what they would want. So, kudos Dan!! That’s what we need!! Drifters, keep speaking up!!

For me, I am still wanting drag content. My club and I are and have been having alot of fun building/tuning drag cars for the last few weeks. There are alot of things I would love to see put in, I know this isn’t forza 5/6. There REALLY needs real content in those games, not just the “drag” tire compound.

Anyway, for Horizon 2:

There needs to be more than the Aerodrome Runway event for drag racing. At least make 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile races. Something to vary what’s available. It would be awesome to have different locations, like the main streets through Nice, or by the shipyard, light house, by all the where houses or any of the cities. Again, some different lengths.

If there could be a starting tree at the runway? Maybe one at each end? Even if its just one "runway light, that blinks red, yellow the green…waits about 30 seconds and does it again. I don’t know, something like that, maybe?

Something should be done differently with the “aerodynamic wall” that many of the cars hit at speed. There are several cars that should, by weight and power should be as fast or faster than others and the just will not make it which narrows down how many cars are competitive which makes it less fun. …or realistic.

More engine options or at least when using a STOCK 426 Hemi or the Buick or Pontiac 455 give the same aspiration options as the 6.2. Or give other engines just for drag.

Theres more, I have to head to work. Please, developers, please listen to what alot of people are saying. I know you guys do what you can. Horizon 2 is awesome, that’s probably why there much a desire for more specific content to different driving styles. Some of us are feeling left out…(subtle hint cough)…drag and drifters!!

Thanks

Ok, so to continue…

As I was saying, there should be more engine options. Drag specific, drift specific. Just as Storm Island was to Rally. (rally trans, suspension and tires) We need to have parts that reflect how we want to drive and build cars. I feel like Turn 10/Playground Games are a victim of their own success here, being that the game is as good as it is. And you gave all the rally fans Storm Island. I dont think its too much to ask or want some content that would satisfy my itch for Drag racing or Drifters some drift stuff.

There has to be a better way to start events and more importantly pick cars for said online event. I have missed race after race either taking too long to back out of the festival working on a tune or even just switching cars to even accept the invite, let alone scroll through my cars to find the one I want. At least give us more time the 30 seconds or how ever long it is. Or if we could have a favorites section of the garage. Something has to be different than what it is now.

Along those lines, it would be cool to be able to have something for getting rid of cars we would never use. Now in all honesty, I was “removing” some cars last night and I think I ended up with more money. As I have been told by many that you don’t get anything for them, I didn’t pay attention, so there very well could be some reimbursement as there should be. I was just willing to get rid of some to reduce the time searching for online racing. But a storefront or auction house would be great!!

To sum up,
drag and drift content

Some sort of starting light for online free roam drag races, different length drag races (with class leaderboards)

Better way to start and pick cars for online and or a way to organize our garages

More places to run drag races. Any straight, any city, town, section of highway, pier by the lighthouse would be awesome. Different length drags, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 mile.

DRAG TIRES!! BOOST CONTROL, BIG POWER ENGINES, TRANS BRAKE, DRAG TRANSMISSIONS

I know its not just me are a handful of people that want this stuff. There are many. Everyone SPEAK UP AND BE HEARD!!! Hopefully!

Oh yeah, if Minecraft can let you import entire maps to the Xbox One from the 360, there should be no reason that I can’t bring my designs or even vinyl groups from forza 4 to Horizon. Days spent on designs that I cant use. Favorite stuff, things that mean alot. I have a car I painted for my Dad after he passed, (nothing incredible, but it means alot to me) and I would love to have THAT paint job. Not one like it. That one. Again, MINECRAFT!!! Minecraft has the technology.

And yes, I understand how simple Minecraft is comparatively, however there should be a one time, gather all your design/vinyl groups together and transfer them over to the One, making them available in 5, 6 and Horizon 2. This really should be a reality, please!

972

One of the speculated reasons for not transferring designs and tunes is the rampant theft of other peoples work and this was seen as a way to start fresh.

I’m an American and I too would like more straight roads to drive on.

Jokes aside here’s my wish list. It will simply feature the reasonable requests of other posts. My focus will be on interactivity and gameplay, not on car count or car content.

Ability to create on the spot races
Situation: My friend and I are cruising around and decide to have a quick point to point race. I set the points, and send a challenge to that user.

Simulation Damage Road Trip via KA Magneto
Situation: Users who want to introduce consequences for race actions can enjoy the thrill of simulation damage during the road trip. Repairs can be made after each race which cost you XP, not credits.

Photo mode and Photo submission
During single player, FH2 understands which vehicle is being photographed. So what do I have to select the Make/Model when I I want to upload a photo? The technology exists, remove a task for the user. #GoodUX

Race avatar’s skin color
The in-car view would be better if I could look at some black arms… like mine. Please sample the color used on the xbox avatar.

Provide an easy out after road trips via ipodpword
I wish it was easier to drop out of a road trip and go back to solo or other activities. If I want to play solo after a road trip concludes I shouldn’t have to wait for the vote before leaving.

RPM glitch
The audio for RPMs still gets stuck… come on… Acknowledge the bug and address whether or not it will be addressed. Even if it’s an answer the community doesn’t like, we will respect the openness.

Not sure if the I’m an American and want more straight roads was sarcastic or not. Just wanna clear things up. I’m not asking for more straight roads. Theres plenty in the game. I’m asking for at least on the runway to have 1/4 and 1/2 mile speed cameras/races. I’m asking for a few places, in existing cities, highways, country roads to have a drag event, just like on the runway. A to B. 1/4, 1/2 or whole mile. Existing areas on the map. If we are lucky enough to get drag and or drift dlc’s, then yeah, some actual drag tracks would be cool. Actually described in detail in a couple of posts what I think would be sweet.

Before you give drag racing too much of a hard time, theres alot more of a challenge getting a B class Camaro or Bel Air to hook up, go straight and run the mile in the high 25’s, low 26’s. Alot of fun. And ALOT of tuning trial and error. Shorter races, tuning and getting your car to hook up would be even more of a challenge.

If its not your thing, cool. I’m all about everyone doing their own thing, I would just like some things that would make doing what I want to do, in an open world free roam do what ya want game, more fun. Like Storm Island to the Rally fans.

975

I’ve had every Forza and you guys are getting seriously left behind with the amount/type of body modifications and wheel selection. The options were adequate five years ago, but even a game as terrible as ‘the crew’ makes FH2 look outdated when about all you can add for every car is a splitter/tow-hook and some weak-fitment wheels.

The new MX5 update was great in terms of removing the roof and still being able to have the roll-cage, but then to go into body-mods on the ND and have basically nothing in there was dull.

I understand starting fresh, but that doesn’t change that there should be an option to do so or not. Give us the choice to leave our own work out there for thievery. I for one could care less if anyone used my stuff, all my designs and vinyl groups have always been free, except for 1 or 2 for the sell something in the storefront achievement.

Just saying, I think the choice to import our work should be available. I’m old, lol. I dont get to play as much as I used to. When I do play, I want to spend my time racing and cruising around. I really dont want to spend the time making an AAR Cuda paint job on my 3rd Forza game. Those stripes are a pain in the butt!! Oh well, there much more important stuff that I think should be added. (see all my previous posts, drag drift specific dlc’s)

977

You missed the point - if you do that then those that stole others work could also import it.

If The Crew had put more effort into their physics and game play instead of the huge world and the car mods it may have been a far better game. It involves many factors not the least of which are things like licensing and the focus of the studio and game they are making.

978

Fair comment, although I would have thought a team such as Turn10 would have arguably a better budget/position to licence bodykits and wheels. Youll get no argument from me with regards the Crew; had the resale/trade-in value not dropped like a stone overnight I would have returned it without having ever really played it. A blessing in disguise in some ways, as playing the game to the end highlighted to me how lazy Turn10 has become with the motorsport franchise of the Forza games. If I look back at FM2, I would struggle to give you any reasons the game has improved if we take the obvious hardware improvements out of the equation. Even GTAV has a better option of customisation options than the Xboxs leading racing game.

Increasingly I feel that Turn10 sees me as a cow to be milked rather than a petrolhead who likes videogames. The passion to make a great game seems to have been replaced by an accounting department who knows that Ill buy their stuff regardless of whether Im happy with it or not. A constant flood of (obviously chargeable) DLC of things that were in previous games and a general lack of innovation are souring the Forza experience IMO and turning the franchise into an automotive call of duty. Until a real competitor comes along though I suspect things will remain the way they are, even though Ive been reading opinions like mine for years now.

I have now read almost every post here and there are som good and some really bad ideas.
But many of the ideas here is like the ideas i have.

The game is really well build like it is but i believe we are missing out on alot of things.
I know it is a Arcade like game but i would like to see more than “Top Notch” vehicles.
Some more “Standard” types i think would bring alot more players to the game.

My Ideas and Wishes:

  1. A larger set of customization. Like more bodykits, wings and the ability to choose what kind of Fitment like offset on wheels.

  2. The ability to custom make a Road Trip. Like a custom online game for you and your friends. You can first put a waypoint A to B for the first race then custom put races together.

  3. A ability to slam a car. The last upgrade for suspension is what it looks like is Coilovers. In real life you can make a car scrape the oil pan with coilovers but why not put that in game? It may take away the handling a bit but many people, me included, have like a set of show vehicles and a set of race vehicles.

  4. The change of muffler when you upgrade the exhaust. The picture might symbolise a “Fart Can” but you are stuck with that small 1.5" standard outlet…

I also have a wish list for cars for an upcomming DLC.

An option to TURN OFF DRIVATARS!!!

I know I could go on private online session but I shouldn’t have to, there should be an option to turn off drivatars and traffic. Because you can tell the drivatars don’t work when they have trouble passing a parked car without hitting it or when they cant decide which side of the road to be on.

981

Not sure if this has come up much here but it seems an update similar to FH1’s “1000 club” would be a relatively easy way to keep current players active in the game.
Just more challenges/achievements. New content/cars are great but this might be a much easier fix, right?
