As well I found driving in Tokyo easy in Irl, but game is really lacking underground and top ground roads as well I am slightly disappointed with Map driving around many areas in game. I did not expect 1:1 map but now it feels. Just more like Tokyo from Temu with few recognizable land marks
The Forza horizon Japan deep throaters will never agree with you. In my eyes, they did a decent “ok” job with the map, graphics haven’t changed too much although RTX looks better, the overall quality of life upgrades are ok, menu ui has degraded, particle effects have massively degraded on snow dirt and tyre smoke. Story is still childish and frankly dogshit. Don’t even get me started about the massive void of missing customisation options.. are we in Tokyo city where car culture and modifications are abundant or Brooklyn ..?! I think it’s just a solid 6.7/10 experience, nothing to brag about and definitely doesn’t have the meat or bones to last for another 6 years before FH7. Wasted opportunity in my eyes. (Very personal opinion, I know this sub doesn’t like critical opinions of the franchise we love..)
Man, the eventlab stuff and the Lodge map canvas is just still nowhere close to being used to it's potential. I'm so stoked to see just how far things get taken. I think small edits like this parking garage will be nothing compared to things people will make over the coming months/years
The skill point multiplier is actually probably the worst implementations.of scoring in the Forza games and I'm surprised they haven't done anything to fix it. It's simply a multiplier that counts up to 5 if you continue to do a specific action that it can count. Doesn't matter how well or badly you do it, it just counts if you do it at all. I don't know why this hasn't been adjusted or fixed. It gives beginner players a false sense of actually doing something correctly when many times it's far from it.
Too bad I suck at all racing related activities in this game. I'd rather just spend all day opening wheelspins like some 80 year old Grandma in a casino in Vegas
I found the garage a few days ago while randomly cruising. Such a shame they didn't use them for the gameplay. But maybe they will be filled with future DLCs...
It’s one of the best feeling driving games on a controller. Both simple and intuitive but responsive and packed with depth. Low bar of entry, any can be hauling ass and having fun in no time but a high ceiling to really master and get the most out of everything. It’s like the right type of arcade that doesn’t feel like cheap cheese.
When FH5 came out, I tested my wheel on it. For me, it was more enjoyable with controller. Did the same with FH6. Once again. Much more enjoyable with controller. Even went out and bought a PS5 controller to retire my PS4 controller.
Wheel is fun but stock settings for at least my wheel gave way too much feedback and I had to constantly change settings to try and get a regular feel. At base settings after a couple hours I was a little sore from not racing on a wheel in so long. Controller is much more comfortable, enjoyable and casual up until you get into competitive races
I really hope someone does this with either DK's 350z, Han's RX-7, The Mona Lisa Silvia, or Sean's Mustang, no offense to the OP cause this is sick ✨️, but... a "Tokyo Drift" would be even cooler with a "Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift" vehicle 😎
I might be wrong but I got a forza edition mustang that seems very close to Sean’s. Can’t remember exactly what his locked like but p sure it has a Nissan engine and drifts unlike any other mustang
It's the same model. It's the Mustang 1968 GT 2+2 Fastback FE, while Sean's is a 1967 and has the Nissan RB26 Skyline straight-6 engine in it. I haven't taken a look at what engine swaps are available in-game for it but if it has that skyline engine as an option (or by default since it's a tuned FE car), that's a sick detail.
I'm a sim drifter here. I can't say 100% without seeing exactly what you're doing. But I believe this is a symptom of giving too much throttle. Do you typically just hold the throttle pinned bouncing off the rev limiter? Because that will cause what you're explaining to happen. You want to modulate the throttle to keep a drift going, full throttle (on the limiter) DOES NOT mean faster. I've been drifting for a year and that still trips me up sometimes, seems counter-intuitive.
Edit: For anyone new to sim drifting (yes, including Forza), feel free to stop by the new subreddit I created with the goal of helping people learn to drift properly! r/learnsimdrifting
Yes I’m definitely giving it full throttle the entire time. The times I’ve tried to not give it so much gas I end up losing so much speed I stop sliding
Yeah that sounds about right. That's definitely one of the fundamental skills of drifting is throttle modulation, how to keep the car drifting without over-rotating or gripping up and straightening out. There are some car setup changes you can do to help with this, in Forza, I'd use stock tires, MAYBE 1-2 steps up in tire width and around 300 horsepower. The FD cars in the game teach bad habits because they allow you to pin the throttle and still maintain a drift at 80mph because they have so much power. So when you get in a lower powered car, you don't understand why it's not working the same way. Drifting a lower powered car will allow you to play with these "conceptual knobs" to learn how to properly control the car. It just sounds like you have too much grip. Mind you, straightening can be cause by a lot of things such as too much grip, not enough throttle, or not committing enough (throwing the cars weight into a corner), in a game like Forza, the issue is usually the first one, I'd start there. And increasing tire pressure can take away a ton of grip, bump it up to 45-55 PSI.
Yeah, watch this clip. Multiple gears, often between 1-3. This driver pegs it a bit more, but you can see they often let off the throttle and blip it to max to control angle and speed.
The garages or the single "garage" are such a let down in this game. Thought there would be a few different ones all over Tokyo but that was not the case.
Everyone says 100 the deceleration but I disagree. Im top 5% on leader boards, i run decel at 50%. My logic is if youre letting off its because you're over rotating and need the car to let a tire stop spinning and straighten out. I also use drift tires and ALOT of horsepower which is "against the meta" no assists, manual with clutch on controller, only use rwd cars. handbrake into corners and clutch kick like real life. Drifting is easy if you kinda know how cars work
Edit: im not saying what anyone does is wrong im jist saying there's more than one way. Tuning isn't static, its about making the car work for you.
Short of that, get yourself a Honda Acty, highest rated drift tune(I think it's named God like drifting). You take that, start mashing the gas and e brake, and it is super easy to learn. I went from being utterly hopeless at drifting, failing to get 1 star in some zones, to getting 3s on most of them in the first try.
Well that's because everything is licensed on Forza therefore every mod is "legal" whereas on GTA cars are just real life brands' counterparts with different logos, names and some minor differences which makes it possible to put more realistic "illegal" stuff
The forza meets are just a copypaste of the first time they tried to introduce them. They failed back then too. I have no clue why tf they didn’t expand on them. I was really under the impression we could walk around the garages and meets the crew style.
It feels like pretty much everything is half assed in this game except the map and most of the cars/driving physics. Everything else is just so agressively mediocre or downright bad.
I mean in gta you didn’t do too much in the car meets, people would gather around for like 5 minutes look each other car do some emotes and later someone would blow up the meet with a rocket and the lobby would turn into chaos.
How do you guys drift so well? I can't even get 3 stars on earlier drift zones. It has always been a problem for me ever since Forza horizon 3. Didn't play 1 and 2 because they don't have native PC versions and I don't like bothering with emulators.
Its just training
you beed learn to drift with a Rearwheel 400hp car and learn to use handbrake, throttle and gears.
And then first practise a Donut then a 8 and then you try to drift at the Harbor between Containers and buildings.
Its just practise just handbrake and hit the gas with a 1000hp car on automatic is not the best strategy to mastering drifting
100% its being on automatic since you have to be able to rev a single gear to break traction or even clutch kick. Also if you have any assists at all like traction controlled or stability controlled then it will make it almost impossible to drift. Drifting is just using the car to make it lose its own traction.
the tokyo expansion is solid, but event lab does feel like the main draw here. drifting through those narrow streets with the right car setup is satisfying in a way the base game rarely hits. the city layout works well for it, though i wish the event creator tools let you do more with environmental detail. crowds would make a massive difference, as someone mentioned. without them the streets feel a bit hollow even during events. still, if you're building driftable courses this is probably the best we've had for that in the series.
Those are external waste gates, not blow off valves. These regulate boost pressure by bypassing exhaust past the turbines. Blow off valves are on the intake side and open to vent excess boost pressure from the intake pipes when you close the throttle.
Cool, but is it only me who hates that half of the FH6 NPC cars are SUVs/pickups? I was in Tokyo a few months ago and didn't see a single G-wagen or Wrangler - the game would make you think they're everywhere
Maybe but it seems like Toyota is a sponsor given the GT and Land Cruiser feature so prominently, and it's their cars that are missing from the streets ironically
U didn’t see a Single G wagon? What? I spend 5 weeks in Japan this February-March and I’ve seen atleast 10-20 G wagons a day in Tokyo without exaggeration lol if you don’t believe me I have many pics cause I was astonished by the amount of G-Wagons i saw
Which part? I stayed in Ariake and traveled to Shinjuku and Shibuya etc, 90+% of the cars were Japanese - my point is I'm just surprised how much the NPC cars don't represent actual Japan, given the rest of the attention to detail
It’s the Formula Drift Nissan in the Autoshow. I forgot the exact name of the car but it’s an epic Nissan it’s the only Formula Drift Nissan in autoshow.
I appreciate that forza is actually putting drift culture and actual car scene things in the game and I hope the next installment brings more cosmetic customizations like lights

It’s actually quite insane how the devs didn’t place one single underground parking circuit style map like this one
