Is this a cool idea or not?

Make previous maps of Horizon playable in Horizon 4.

Remaster the maps and expansions from H1, H2 and use H3 as is as it looks great in 4k anyway.

Create an airport link of some kind in each country to travel to and from the different country maps.

Sure we can play the older versions of Horizon, but with all the improvements in Horizon 4, such as 4K, HDR, new cars, new camera views (helmet cam which I use all the time), better photo mode, new paint features, and of course the awesome route creator which extends the longevity of the game hugely, I’d pay good money to have all the maps available in H4.

Personally I don’t think PG really take advantage of the hard work that goes into the amazing huge maps they create.

Silly 3 minute races are baffling given the huge open world they created.

And route creator solves that.

I pretty much finished all the H4 challenges in the first 3 weeks and since then I’ve been racing my own routes, which has extended its life for months to come.

I own every car, have earned over half a billion credits, and bought every house and castle, but without route creator, I’d have stopped playing long ago.

I’d love to create long routes and circuits in Australia, and the previous maps, to get past the ridiculously short races that PG seem to think everyone wanted in those games (spoiler alert, they DON’T).

So, in short, remaster the previous maps and after H4 expansion 2, release them for $30 or even $50.

And what do you call it?

Horizon World.

And in future, when a new version of the game is released, Horizon 5 obviously being next, the past maps are included, along with the new map and any new features.

There is so much content already created that would have a new lease of life with the Horizon 4 graphics engine and game features, but they choose to focus entirely on a new map with every release.

It would be mindblowing for Forza Motorsport to release a new version and delete ALL the previous circuits, but that’s exactly what happens in every new Horizon release.

Anyone agree with me?

As much as a good idea that it might be

have you seen this stickied thread

I think a redone version of the first game’s map would interest me the most.

I’ve mentioned this same concept a couple of times on these forums previously, just done a bit different. I’d like this to be the last Horizon. Instead of focusing on creating a new game from scratch, I think the time would be better utilized refining what they have, taking a serious look at issues and suggestions from the community and implementing a lot of new ideas. And a great way of creating new content would be adding a “gumball expansion” in which each year or 6 months or so they do a major update that includes a new location like Japan or whatever they may choose.

It’d be interesting if they released “expansions” that were actually just remastered versions of the maps from the previous three games, with some new events, and maybe returning favourites from those games.

Then again, remastering the entire map from an Xbox 360 game is a nontrivial amount of work for a $20 expansion.

If the rumours are true that Forza 8 takes a miss on 2019, and presumably FH5 gets pushed back to at least 2021 because of that (assuming FH5 is coming), then maybe a big-ish project like that for a third expansion that wasn’t part of the Ultimate Edition would make sense to Microsoft. Keeps the Forza revenue flowing in a dry year for the series, and doesn’t require the entire Horizon team to work on it.

Great idea. Would love that. Like TDU2 where you had spain and Hawaii from TDU1.
Horizon World was my 1st thought too =)They could build it up with more and more countrys.

That would be amazing.
