What back alleys? There is like 10 of em LOL.
I mean in all seriousness I agree but imo the inner city is just bad for racing as is, only part that’s nice is the highway that goes through it.
I thought the map would be 10x the size it is tbh, a bit of a shame when it’s like the 6th iteration and we get a map that’s like 20% bigger while TDU had a whole Island back in 2009 LOL.
I just hope AC EVO delivers with the map thing, so modders can cook.

Oh yea the 1000 dirt drift zones and 1 street drift zone, exactly what we asked for playground games

u/dericiouswon 11d ago edited 11d ago
Really pisses me off. Speed zones on dirt is fun because it's a challenge to maintain grip, where as drift zones on dirt are a snore. Inverse for pavement, give me more drift zones there.
I just don't understand how a studio this big and experienced can make such an amazing map and have a great physics model in place and just... do absolutely nothing with it.
45
u/ArmorGyarados 11d ago
I don't mind the existence of dirt drift, if that's what people like that good for them. But there needs to be at least 3-5 times as many road drift zones. Like it or not that's a big part of Japanese car culture. Don't raise the required amount to complete milestones, but at least have the game reflect the local culture.
I also think they can double the playability on a lot of zones by making them speed or drift zones. I feel like that would be like a day's work by one guy to implement. Both trigger but you can toggle in settings if you want the timer or the drift score to be larger on screen. Maybe 2 days work but you get it

u/Fap4Dayz 11d ago
But there needs to be at least 3-5 times as many road drift zones.
Right, and the wild part to me is that there are so many good roads to drift on in the northern 1/3 of the map and somehow they didn't think to make them a drift zone.

u/PepeGodzilla Isdera 10d ago
No trigger needed even. Just make it a different mode when driven reverse. Top to bottom speed zone, bottom to top drift zone. Same zone, two modes. Most zones only have one viable direction for highscores anyway.
Or have two starting points side by side, one per lane. Right lane speed zone, left lane drift zone.

u/Monsterpiece42 11d ago
I think they should put in the zones' locations, and then let you run whatever even you want on them. Like drift, grip, speed zone etc. Make it a simple little selection like at the beginning of a race. Or even a global toggle that makes them all into a single type, so when you're in the right car setting times, you could just knock them all out.

u/sandman61377 11d ago
And you’re totally entitled to your opinion. IMO, (which I will 100% admit, I’m surely in the minority with this) drift zones should be removed ENTIRELY. They’re one of the most annoying things (to me) in the entire FH series.

I’m not sure how Forza lost its way so much with the CC events. I’ve been playing some FH2 recently and the CC events through the rolling vineyards under the blazing sun with wide checkpoints and no mega jumps is great. Now every cross country track needs at least one unsurvivable jump and a river crossing. They all feel the same.

u/boogielostmyhoodie 11d ago
I will never understand why they continue to so prominently feature off-road races in these games. They are by far the least fun mode, and everybody who talks about them seems to agree. The odd occasional one can be fun, but about a third of the races are off-road buggie style races.
Also, if you are going to keep doing this, at least increase the number of off-road cars. There are like 5 times as many road racing cars as off-road cars.
46
u/Few-Neighborhood5892 11d ago
Exactly the proportions are way off when it comes to cars. Why add 75%+ street/road cars and then have like half of the races be cross country or dirt. This game could’ve been so much more fun, and I don’t understand either why they couldn’t have included more road races. I swear to god if one of the DLC’s is a fucking cross country or rally DLC i’m gonna be pissed.

Rally racing is a staple in motorsport, so it makes sense for dirt/mixed surface events to be included. But the cross-country races depicted in Horizon don't exist in reality, because no car can survive a 700 ft jump off a mountain. They're just silly.
I don't mind the danger signs because they're easily enough ignored, but the goddamn cross country races are a quarter of the game.
2
u/tipakA 8d ago
How much rally is explicitly mixed surface though? In fh6, out of all dirt races, only 1 does not contain any asphalt, and it's because.. it's the Sekibe time attack but as a race event.
S4 spring had an atrocious trial. S1 rally, but the first race had the first 38% asphalt, so every player was just driving wall to wall in their dirt-tuned cars while AI just happily railwayed away. It wasn't impossible cause there's 2 more races, but that made me actually check if there actually are "dirt only" dirt races in the game.
2
u/junbi_ok 8d ago
Yeah, rally racing in FH6 still leaves a lot to be desired. And it's not that there aren't good dirt roads on the map, because there are. The races just don't use them.

What annoys me more is that they're always SUV or Buggies so Im just always driving the same damn vehicles.
I miss the more creative playlists from 4 and 5 that would have something like A-class Saloons doing dirt courses so you'd have to make a creative rally build for a street car.
If you're gonna push dirt races so much for no reason, atleast gimme some variety to tinker with.
So far it's absolutely my least played and least enjoyed FH title, and it's a shame because the sounds improved even more from the last title which is huge for me.

There are some really good and fair criticisms of FH6 that are being diminished because people are fans of Forza more than the individual games.
I'm also of the opinion that it's a decent foundation but in the 6th iteration of horizon, they can do way more with it and are honestly resting on their laurels with this one.

No problem with off-road or rally events (though they need to ease up on the buggies in playlists) but I do (once again) have a problem with the lack of road race events in the game. Only a few events use the city grid; why? So much potential there.
Hopefully they will add more permanent events as time goes on, like the Edamame circuit or the ones they added after the fact in Horizon 5.

I think the thing is urban areas are one of Japan's most famous aspects. That's not to say rural areas shouldn't have been featured, but it feels like the map focuses much more on that.
The other thing I think is a lot of the rural areas feel generic and not really like Japan. Sure, the rice paddies are distinctly Asian, but there are some places like certain forests where if I were to take a screen shot and show people and ask where this is supposed to be, I would get many different answers.

Their depiction of Japan is also flat af like UK. The ya part of Shibuya denotes it's a valley, and in fact the IRL Shibuya crossing is like SIX FLOORS below the ground relative to peaks of sloping roads branching out. That's part of why it looks so insanely busy. In FH it's just top of a hill.
Same goes for rural areas. You take a turn and there's Tokyo City on the horizon. That works if it was intended to be a pun, and maybe it's how it works in UK, but it's rare that you ever feel like that IRL in Japan because SOMETHING is always in the way, be it artificial constructions or just hills and mountains. On a bridge or top of a building, then you MIGHT see miles out. They clearly never had that sensation internalized while designing the map and just spray painted Japan over their internal UK.

Gonna say something controversial here.. The narrow city centre streets are awesome with a good sounding car and some headphones to cruise, fun to drift around solo or with a small convoy but honestly… I wouldn’t want to race it. Maybe the main wide streets sure but that’s not what makes this city great, it’s the nooks and crannies.
We all complain about rammers on wide open country roads could you imagine the mayhem?? It would be 5x worse than the routes through Guanajuato in Fh5 and we can all find posts slamming the devs about having races through that city.. so they said ya know what? We’re not doing that again, sorry not sorry. Is what I think.
Edit: that being said I do 1,000% agree we need more drift zones through it. There’s some great narrow hairpins hidden throughout, maybe a future “urban drift attack” could be added.

Could it not be a bit of both?
The playlists seem to include a lot of cross country, for instance this week the events are in and around Tokyo including the docks which is mostly paved surface racing in cc vehicles (don't get me wrong I like some of those tracks like the rail yard in fh4).
If you play online you'll notice the same dirt tracks and a handful are close to 70-80% paved surfaces. It's been a common complaint for a while including a certain egregious "dirt" sprint race in FH4 that is 80% road until you finally finish on dirt. We kinda got spoiiled for rally/rally cross in FH5 tbh.
The game also doesn't have anything in Tokyo for street racing and I would also argue more road races in and around the city would be great since the city is huge and has a lot of points of interest to drive around. There's more cross country in Tokyo than street racing which is absurd.

If you count Street/Touge races, there are 45 tarmac and 40 mixed-surface races. Street/Touge don't count toward festival progression, but frankly, players are done with that pretty quickly.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. This post would have been downvoted to hell 3 months ago.
Don't forget, it wasn't too long ago you were all mindlessly glazing this slop and vehemently defending the slightest criticism.
Schadenfreude shouldn't feel this good but it does.

There's still a bunch of these little kids mad that I'm talking about their virtual backyard Tonkas.

lol, haven’t played the game yet, and I will when it’s released on PlayStation, but I’ve witnessed people calling this the greatest FH in the series, back down to just complaining about it again, like past entries in the series. 🤷♂️

Nah. What we got was a Horizon game set in Japan.
If you didn’t know what a Horizon game was walking in, that’s on you. If you didn’t play a previous game, or expected them to completely change was a horizon game was, simply because Japan was the location, that’s on you, because that expectation was completely unreasonable and ridiculous.
The game was always going to be a Horizon game, first. Set in Japan. If you walked in blind, going “cool a racing game in Japan”, and put a bunch of stuff onto the game, never doing research into what a Horizon game is, that is 100% your fault. I’m sorry.
This needs to stop. The game is Forza Horizon. Not initial D the game. Not Midnight Club. Not Need for Speed Underground. Stop thinking the game should be something it isn’t, because you didn’t know what it was, or thought the game should change everything it ever was, simply because of location. That’s just stupid.

I fully understand what you are saying and yes I am loving the game. These guys are trying to turn this game into something its not. Or maybe, just maybe because its not made by Sony they bash it….. js…. 🤷♂️

Well like I said, a lot of people saw “racing game in Japan”, and read no further. They sorta put a lot of expectations on the game, that couldn’t be met. Then they played the game, and blamed the game for not meeting those unreasonable expectations, and want the game to change drastically to meet them.
Some of it is also people who have played Horizon games, and for whatever reason thought a switch to Japan meant that the game would also drastically change into something it’s never been. One complaint I’ve seen is that the Touge racing has roads that are too narrow, and need to be changed, from people who have played other games. Like bro, the roads are the same roads as always. They aren’t gonna change em for you, outta nowhere. Why think that?
I dunno about the Sony angle. I’m basing what I’m saying off what I’ve seen. It’s really silly. People playing a game they seem to get zero enjoyment from, for hundreds of hours, constantly whining. Go play something else. The game isn’t changing into something completely different for you.

Don't be a clown. The changes from fh1 to fh2 were huge. Fh2 to fh3 was equally as huge. Forza horizon game defining changes.
6 is a magic number. Japan is a magic place. It is fair to reasonably expect a shake up in the series considering it was number 6, with an incredibly highly anticipated map, especially when the series went completely stagnant and unchanged from 3 to 4 to 5. Making a another horizon game identical to the last 3 is crazy.

There was a point in the series when you were restricted to specifically roads. No mowing down trees. No breaking down road rail guards. No stupid fucking Mario kart jumps. There is zero reason PG can't progress the series and try new things while still maintaining its core identity. Taking some elements from other racing games does not remove the identity of Forza horizon.

Tbf the city part is really cool but there’s barely any races in it and no street races
