Forza Horizon 3 was the best modern Horizon game and it isn’t even remotely close
How there’s more people playing FH4 and FH5 despite they’re blatant downgrades are beyond me, aside from them being newer. I really believe that if all three games released on the same day, everyone would flock to FH3 after a while. I must admit, I barely played FH5 because it’s that lame so I’ll mostly be comparing to FH4
The many reasons why FH3 was my favorite, nostalgia bias aside:
-The map is borderline perfection that the newer games didn’t even get close to. Surfer’s Paradise will likely be the coolest city Horizon will ever get
-The engine audio is so much sharper. FH4 sounds like FH3 underwater. The engines are incredibly boring or outright weird. Compare the Ferrari LaFerrari, Lamborghini Murcielago, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento and Porsche 918 from FH3 to FH4
-The cars actually get traction. No matter what I use in FH4, the car wants to 90 degree drift off the road, even during summer. People say that the newer games are much better for racing, but I really don’t understand how
-The UI is timeless, sleek and simple. If FH3 released today, the UI would look just as modern, yet so much less cluttered and scattered. Subjective, but I also find the sharp corners to look far more sophisticated than the round corners. I know that’s quite pedantic
-There’s no cringe. The character customization, the emotes, the racing characters, it’s all genuinely game changing how bad it is, respectfully. Money was prioritized over quality, a common yet lethal trend in modern games. This is my biggest problem out of all the Horizons
What do you think of FH3?
