- ~80hr story gameplay
- getting out of the car for a walk anywhere
- a big 3d garage
- nitro
- lowrider suspension
but there is a lot more…

If I might be so honored as to please add the first two items to my list?
But the petrol station idea kind of rolls into the car culture issue the developers seem to need to learn more about.
And the stupid childish dancing idea, well that will put me at six ideas also. Risking business going off topic

- Don’t release a game that should still be in beta
- SKIPPABLE CUTSCENES
- Just throw all the dialogue and story out because they can’t do it in a non-cringe way
- Streamlined menu. I swear that almost half of my game time was lost navigating in menus and looking at loading screens
- A functional online racing mode where you actually race and not spend most of your time waiting for a race
- Better tracks that aren’t just a bunch of checkpoints randomly thrown together

Could we just go back to the days of FH1? Where music censorship was lax and the times were good? That’s what where cars belong.
-
Cut back on dripfeeding base game content. Look, we know licensing is a pain and not every car can be added in time. But the least they could do is put them in the Autoshow at a future date.
-
Cut back on the overzealous music censorship. The songs were signed off, so there’s no reason to have a bunch of songs broken beyond recognition. What will rectify this will be a E10+ rating or Mild Lyrics.
-
A much larger map. I’ve seen more variety with the two premier trucking sims, ETS2 and ATS. While FH5’s map is good, it could be better scaled to fit the biomes.
-
Better UI and AI (no more Drivatars). Nuff said.
-
Better traffic variety - no reused assets. Have any of you played the original FH? That game featured a vast amount of cars that have never returned. GMC Yukon Denali, Kenworth, the American Ford Focus, etc.

The first thing FH6 needs to improve is have every car available in the autoshow from the start, even if they have appeared on the playlist. The second thing is improving the goddman multiplayer, what else is there to say? The third thing is have a map that covers an entire country, not a condensed version of it, like we’ve seen so far. The fourth thing is bring back the competitive races in online multiplayer. The final thing is, sort out the convoy bug. FH5 thinks I keep trying to join a convoy and says that I’m unable to join the convoy and that it may have been disbanded or may be full.

It’s actually hilarious how many of the traffic vehicles in Horizon 5 are still right-hand drive.
Biggest thing FH6 needs is cohesiveness. FH5 comes across as a forced amalgamation of disjointed ideas.

For FH6 the devs first need to play some other racing games and then come back together to discuss new ideas

Actually, I want them to make it in Japan while they don’t have all their ducks in a row. It may be the only chance that everyone (including the casuals) may finally awaken to Horizon’s mediocrity that’s been in plain sight for almost six years now.

Gladly, if gets people to wake up. Plus, Japan is highly overrated. It wouldn’t live up to anyone’s expectations.

Sorry, but the mesh for FM4 Fujimi Kaido was trash, completely uneven and bumpy as hell. It wasn’t fun at all (IMO), it was a chore to have to do those races.

And they would waste it. You’re talking about a game franchise that’s been stagnant for three titles now. You may get the map, but you’re not going to get as much customization as you’re looking for, there won’t be an official Touge mode or a highway race mode. Cops have never been a Horizon thing, so that’s that completely thrown out. Your best bet with Japan is an okayish map with some rare JDM cars and a lot offensive characters speaking Engrish because Playground didn’t exactly do a bang-up job with the Spanish language or Hispanic speech patterns in Horizon 5. Heck, they were wise to ignore French characters and only have one Italian DJ (who spoke Italian the entire time) to avoid such offenses.
Well, unless Playground take this thread seriously, you may be waiting a long time for an evolution.
I said nothing of it being narrow. Bumpy wasn’t by design, it was a poorly created track. It’s like when a new to modding player in AC or another moddable game (RF2) doesn’t really understand how to work 3DStudio Max and the elevation transitions aren’t laid out properly. It’s like running around the GPL original version of Monaco, horrid.

Custom UI.
Lets us move the UI around. I want to put the maps near the speedometer.
Maybe even unique speedometer/ui design for every cars/brand. or Maybe putting more version into unlockable. it is better than unlocking car honk and dance. -
Rear mirror for 3nd person view
-
separate the downforce upgrade and the actual body kit design. No more ugly forza aero.
-
Color change on interior
-
collision assist like FM7 for PVP.
extra
Instead of dances. How about “posing” like overwatch. Maybe the car doing dounts or some cool action.
Maybe it just sitting in a good looking angle to show their design.
Or the character holding Trophies celebrating like a normal human being.
or the character doing car guy stuff like checking the cars/ open engine bay/ working on the things on the car etc.
So we can have some nice unlock instead of fornite dances.
=============
Narrow is not the main problem but short races and crash physics.
You can have a monaco with lots of laps and even qualifying section.(But I dont prefer over 10min races and qualifying in arcade game)

Hil all - a heads up: We’re currently focused on FH5. If you’re posting here instead of in the Suggestions Hub Horizon Features subcategories, then your ideas are going to be missed and not counted. Be sure you’ve fully read the Getting Started tips and guidelines.
Hey @T10ManteoMax , this was a discussion thread for FH5 players to discuss FH6. It was not intended as a suggestion thread as it’s not suggesting any one thing that can be voted on. I would appreciate it if you could move it back. Thanks.
I also intended on reviewing everyones comments and compiling a list of suggestions in the suggestion hub for users to then go there and vote on if they so please. But again this thread is not a suggestion. It’s merely a discussion.

You want the best locale for automotive enthusiasts? Make a horizon festival in Southern California circa 1960. And make the map big enough to include LA, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and San Diego.
There would be a few Freeways but loads of roads including part of the famous Route 66.
But they would absolutely have to get drag racing nailed to a tee if they did this. None of this stupid 12 cars GO garbage. A real Christmas tree for strip races and a real person dropping a shirt for “ONLY TWO CARS” in a street drag. And when you win in a street drag, you win the challenger’s car.
And bring on the festivities, really good stuff at the festival sites. Not just boring cardboard sites like FH5 has. Make something happen, use some imagination. Get creative!

@solarriors I agree on the drag racing. But I’m a fan of racing. But on the other stuff, well, I don’t necessarily like it but that’s what horizon is about. We’ll have Motorsport (maybe) for those who just want the racing and car stuff.
