I hope we can fast travel for free in FH4, really don't know why we still can't do that from the start.
Really looking forward to FH4, still playing FH3 on PC.

I'm really happy with the UK choice.

I said last year or so on GAF when it was rumored to be either UK or Japan that I wanted UK because of the car culture and not a lot of representation in car games that I'm aware of.

What I've seen so far has exceeded my expectations, and the seasons just look crazy good.

My main concern is progression. It was terrible in FH2 and improved in FH3 but still not great. Even though FH3 is technically better, I actually spent more time with The Crew because the over-game is so much better (to me anyway).
 
Yeah, the progression could be confusing in FH3. I wish for racing series you could just go directly to the next event rather than have to drive to it. A menu system in addition to the map would be a god send.
 
By progression, I'm referring more to the carrot that leads you through the game. One of my favorite racing games ever is Pro Race Driver (TOCA in the UK) by Codemasters.

The original Horizon wasn't quite TOCA, but the story was fun and kept you moving through the game. The story in The Crew was terrible, but the grind in that game had a structure to it I found really appealing.

I'm not the type of racing face fan who's going to hot lap a gazillion times in Forza Motorsport, Gran Turismo, Project Cars or whatever. I admire them from afar but would much rather be playing FH, NFS, DriveClub and so on.

In FH3 I did very little of the races tbh. I was always doing the challenges, like hitting big jumps, drifts, and racing sections as fast as possible (can't remember what they were called, speed something?). I got most of my followers or karma w/e system they used doing that. I really enjoyed that shit too. Hopefully those make a return in FH4, I'm pretty sure they are and they've implemented it into the online it seems.

You have to pay for it. I don't know how many times I forgot about a series that I was racing in because of having to drive to it. I don't always want to spend the time driving between races, I just want to jump in and go. Don't have the time for that and don't want to have to use in game credits for fast travel.

You can get it down to 0CR by smashing the fast travel boards.

Like another poster has said you don't have to pay for it for long. Collect the fast travel boards and it becomes free. Not that it's an issue anyway its such an insignificant amount of CR in the grand scheme of things you'll never even notice it.
 
Yo I just heard this game is getting a Crazy Taxi mode. They're really going all out!
 
To the non UK members of this forum, the game is set in more than just England, it also set in parts of Wales and Scotland (apparently). If that's true then Snowdonia and the Evo Triangle would be ideal candidates for the Wales part of the map. Great roads and stunning scenery. A lot of people from outside the UK only know 'England' or 'London'.

"Hey Amigo where are you from my good friend? England!?"

"Wales"

"Chwale?!?"

"Yes......Chwale" :rolleyes:

Just a brilliant series of design choices to make the online integration work for everyone and all situations.

Playground has really taken the leap to masterclass developer and I'm thrilled they're expanding to new IPs/franchises.
 
I think I am going to upgrade to an X to play this in its full glory. It looks amazing and FH3 is my favorite racing game.

Forza Horizon 3 didn't even require you to win anything but the showcase events to progress.

Right and even those were usually a gimmick race where you race a plane or a boat or some shit. Not sure if you could even lose those.


I don't usually do this but I'm going all in with FH4, gonna get the ultimate edition. Loved both expansions in FH3 and figure they'll be sick in this as well.
 
Interesting that Ralph said "at least 2 expansions". My guess is this game will be supported longer with more content right into the end of next year. And part of the reason for this is that Motorsport will skip next year and launch holiday 2020 with the next gen Xbox.

I really hope so. They don't need four iterations of Forza Motorsports on one console, and FM7 killed my enthusiasm for the series after loving it for over 10 years.

Something must have gone wrong too as they never released a single expansion for it either, opting to focus on smaller changes to online after years of them tolerating the god awful quality of lobby racing.
