Why am I Driving a left-hand drive Focu RS?! And why are NPC'S the same?! This is the UK!

Seriously, why am I driving left hand drive cars in a game based in the UK?

Nearly all the NPC’s are driving left hand drive cars, and I was shocked to see me choose a Focus RS in the opening section of the game only to be plonked in the passenger seat with a steering wheel and pedals in front of me! Who signed off on this decision? It’s ridiculous. I bought the game to cruise around after getting through a portion of the game, and sitting in the wrong seat completely spoils that.

I cannot believe this was not thought of before releasing the game!

IT’S BASED IN THE UK. WE DRIVE IN THE RIGHT SEAT NOT THE LEFT.

Refunded. You lost out on £79.99.

What a shame as the game looked like it might be fun. But not in the bloody left seat it isn’t. That’s just lazy development with what I assume are re-used in game models of cars from previous games.

If you are going to base a game in God’s green and pleasant land then at least do us the courtesy of researching our country properly. Hmmpf.

You refunded the game because some of the cars are left hand drive…

:joy:

Because the new gameplay, great car list, beautiful map, etc, is just not enough. Lol

So you were expecting them to remodel all the assets they already have…to make a German built car right hand drive.

I see…

A better question is where you had your head buried that you weren’t already aware of this, especially since it was so god awful important to you. One can only hope it was in sand.

You can just drive on the wrong side of the road.

Adapt and overcome. I live in a country where we drive on the right, Horizon 3 and 4 were based in left driving countries. I don’t mind. If these are issues you can’t handle, I wonder how you tackle the bigger issues in life.

But PG is based on the UK so how is it not their country as well?

Also, here’s a thread whinging about the issue that started awhile back in which the question of “why?” is potentially answered:

Completely doesn’t agree, when people come from all over the world and attend Gumball Rally do they come with right hand driven cars? Wouldn’t think so, also majority of people dont drive on the wrong side in real life.

lol, obviously people don’t get the British sense of sarcasm either…

If you took this seriously then… well. I don’t want to be mean (like most of the people in this thread).

But some xenophobics have been ousted which is something positive to take from this I suppose :slight_smile:

RULE BRITTANIA!

On a semi serious note though, there is a lack of consistency.

For example, the 2017 Nissan GTR is left hand drive, yet the 2002 Nissan GTR Black edition is right hand drive. Strange…

But hey at least the raging Brit can have his cake and eat it eh. I can drive sitting in the correct seat using the GTR Black and if I want to see what it feels like to be a silly foreigner that drives on the “wrong side of the road” with your strange cars that your passengers drive I can do that in the 2017 GTR.

The devs thought of everything! Thanks devs!

For everyone getting butt hurt in this thread, sorry you got triggered, maybe you can unlock a sense of humour in a mega super duper wheelspin (or you might get a chainmail skirt and a pink beanie, either way, win win for you!).

p.s. thanks for the link to the other thread, I completely agree with what one poster said, and I quote.

“Chose the ford focus at the start of the game, she’s like ‘hottest hatch in the world right now, designed right here in Britain too!’ Jump in, it’s LHD…”

You can’t argue that this is more than a bit daft.

Haha, even as a German (!!!) my first thought was “it MUST be sarcasm”.

Came here to laugh at your Jezza wit, then noticed you quoted me. Lol.

Yeah, it’s a bit silly, I don’t see why they cannot just ‘flip’ the cockpit interior, surely it wouldn’t take too much work, but hey ho, it is what it is, and I’m too much of a FH fan to miss out on the game, as much as it annoys me.

I’m just glad the rs turbo, escort cossie, etc are RHD, I can relive my 90’s ‘yooth’ now :wink:

I’m British. Very British, in fact. I didn’t catch the sarcasm. It looked totally serious to all of us, and that makes us xenophobes… Seriously? :rofl:

Xenophobe, “silly foreigners”, childish mocking “holier-than-thou” comments throughout. Shame on you.

You can’t blame people for seeing it as a serious thread when you left no traces of sarcasm in the post - people have made genuine complaints about this before, so it’s hardly a surprise.

This is nothing more than a troll post.

Get used to American standards here, and possibly the rest of the world’s standards.

This is the Forza forums

Unfortunately people complain everyday with absolute seriousness about far less, the fact your “joke” fell flat is not the fault of those reading it.

Yours sincerely
Another Brit…
