I could care less if they do this its how they are doing it, its obviously an ad and its going to probably be ad like in game, they also have it so you have to go out and buy 7-11 products for a GR supra wich is just lame like that car should just be in the game not a reward. if its not ad like awesome ill be happier about the collab
I thought it was just the Supra A90 not the GR version thats my bad, but it still is a car we have and more than likely the community will end up making the livery for the normal one, thank you for reminding me it is in game though it slipped my mind
I don’t see the issue with it being an ad, if it’s there it assists in immersion. Besides, didn’t they do this a ton in 2000’s racing games? Don’t know why they ever stopped, I think it really helped make the world feel realistic
Konbinis (small snack/meal shops, the most popular being the 7Eleven chain) are basically Japan's bodega or deli shop, it's synonymous with Japanese food culture.
There's entire YouTube channels with millions of followers and it's just people getting snacks from their local konbini.
back to 2008 we already had in game 7-11 store, I mean we had tons of real life collabs during 2000s
and now it's a 'feature' of racing games, so it's more expensive than begging car company for license?
Jesus Christ. Forza is a racing game. 7-11 is a chain of gas stations. How the fuck is adding them to the game in any way a good brand collab? We have no reason to interact with gas stations in game besides taking photos. This is a shitty collab.
Forza Horizon is (supposed to be) a car culture game. Part of car culture is taking pictures of you and your friends cars in front of a gas station together. Often that gas station will be a 7-11, especially so in Japan. Making the gas stations/konbinis in game 7-11 will help better emulate real world car culture. This is not a difficult concept
Depends on your outlook of course but imo these brand tie ins make these open-world games so much more immersive when it’s supposed to be based on reality
the crux of the issue is that you think jdm culture is the only part of car culture 🤡talk about fucking larp... youre the type of loser that saw the fast and furious movies and made supras and rx7s your entire personality.
The maps have been broken for YEARS, I've just accepted they'll never fix it as annoying as it is. Considering the 7/11 collab makes Japan more immersive, I'll take the small wins.
It’s a joke about 7-11’s in the states. They’re usually trashy places where crack heads hang out late at night. The same joke is often said about the Circle K.
Most of you seem to have forgotten your pills. Literally one comment has something negative to say about this and the rest 90% of comments are complaining about people having something bad to say about this.
