Agreed
I desperately hope these houses could actually house a few cars visible for you. You could sort your cars into little groups and have them all visible at the same time, different grouos in different locations. Like real garages work.
Most likely they are just spawn points with possibly different interiors.

Yep. I wishlisted in a few threads that I thought it would be cool to have a home space that was yours in single and multiplayer, I guess kinda like GTA.
Start off with a little one or two car garage and as you progress you can become a speed shop, body shop, car dealer or whatever. Something to build up and make your own. And like you said, have maybe five or ten of your best/favorite cars out front for all to see.
I’ve learned a while ago that MY hopes usually end up being way too much so I’ve stopped getting really excited befor the game comes out. I’ve been hoping for better drag racing since FM3!

I hope that a couple of these properties are stupid expensive, that way long term players like me have something to look forward to spend our long terms savings on. I have 10s of millions of Horizon dollars in Horizon 2 I have no use for even though I still play every weekend or so.

I’m a long time Forza player like most of us. I’m just ready for the next big leap. As I’ve said, possibly in a different thread, I’ve stopped getting, well try not to get too excited before the game comes out. I totally understand that what I want and what happens isn’t the same.
Now, if I had any ability to put what I have in my head into a game, that’s a horse of a different color! Lol
“The 10 houses act as mini-Festival sites where you can customize and tune cars, cost IN-GAME credits to buy & the front driveway of your houses works as a Forzavista site”

Sounds more PGR2 than TDU to me, could be my age though & remembering good times hooning round the city streets of Edinburgh in that game too. Happy days

I was thinking PGR2 as well, you had to expand your garage to have more cars, which meant buying new garages in different sites. I recall some devs who worked on PGR2 are in PG.

it would be cool if you could pick two of your vehicles from your garage to be parked up front or at least one…maybe you get to create a symbol on the map for your ownership…maybe you could host a car meet at your property…if it is big enough…

I apologise for posting this without the source, but I am at work at the moment.
In one of the E3 interviews on Youtube one of the PG devs mentioned that Edinburgh Castle would be purchasable as a player home. He finished his sentence (when describing the houses available) with “all the way up to Edinburgh Castle”. It seemed to be glossed over quickly, but it was pretty clear that he said that. That will probably be one of the end-game money sinks.
Doesn’t sound like a special feature. Don’t get your hopes up kids.
Sounds more like a progression thing with one or multiple achievements associated with owning your first and probably all.

Agreed, Swerve. I’m trying to not get myself expecting anything. If I had the resources to make why I’d love to see, that’s one thing. What we actually get is a completely different thing.
It’ll still be Horizon, I’m sure the game will be good and played by me for a long time. Still, here’s to hoping for some cool stuff!
I like that perks are tied to houses. That’ll make it fun buying them. I don’t like that you can access the paint booth and autoshow in the garages. They should be tied to separate places like in TUD2. I don’t mean actual dealerships as there are like 100 manufacturers but an actual autoshow and paint booth like in FH1 would be nice. Having new backgrounds for ForzaVista will be fun too.
Hopefully they add new houses with expansions and new perks too to keep the game fresh.

Even if it’s literally just like getting new festival sites except with nicer looks, that’s fine by me.
Same here. However, it’s a really good foundation to move forward with for future Horizon titles.
The houses just seem to me like re-skins of the old outposts, except with perks and Forzavista attached to them.
As a credit dump, they’ll be nice though.

Sounds like another missed opportunity to do something new and special to me. Again, my opinion. But it’s a common thing that I find myself thinking. Hope I’m wrong.

I’d like to give an example of what I’m on about. I just started playing FH3 with a second profile. As I am filling out my map with roads and exploring I’m seeing all these little houses or properties, even almost trailer park or tiny community spots that are just random spots with roads to check off.
What has always bothered me and to the point if this thread still bothers me is that these are perfect locations for player houses. They already exist. It would just be a matter of making them the purchasable properties. (I understand this is in 3 but I’m sure there will be random free standing buildings in 4 as well)
Have friends homes work like barn finds. What is being described seems sorta pointless.
Who what’s to make a game with me?! Lol!!
We’ve seen how they work in some of the E3 demos. There are three cars parked in front of the homes with ForzaVista viewing options for all three. Whether or not we will be allowed to choose which 3 cars are shown there I do not know. Or possibly at larger homes … will more than three cars be shown?
