For some reason I always thought that the Horizon 5 map was a bit off. Something doesn’t feel right about it. I’m not talking about the design or environment but something else, I didn’t know what it was. But it just hit me; there are no traffic lights! I don’t recall ever seeing one, even in Guanajuato. That’s why it feels so empty and unrealistic. Horizon 4 felt a bit real and realistic because it looked properly filled with props and stuff. But Horizon 5 is lacking these traffic lights which is quite a detail. It makes the whole map feel so weird. Now I’ve never been to Mexico but I don’t think that they don’t have traffic lights there, do they?
I really wish they could update the map with all these missing props but I don’t think that will happen anymore because the game is considered finished and I think it would require too much work to adjust the traffic AI to react properly to traffic lights. Although they did manage to do it in Horizon 3 and 4 and I believe 1 and 2 as well so why not 5???
