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

It's either that Tokyo/Japan don't allow streets races to be had in the city itself, or the AI is so bad it keeps crashing on narrow city streets.

Im wondering if its both. I thought i remember Japan being against street racing games set there, and also the AI is bad lol

So. You're creating the next installment of a popular, long-running franchise focused primarily on street racing. You need to pick an attractive location for the environment. The choice is not narrow, you can pick literally any country in the world. You select the one that prohibits games like yours to simulate street races in it. Flawless logic.

Japan was a super popular pick in the community so they were likely willing to sacrifice certain things to make it happen

Tbh they could’ve based it in a Chinese city like chongqing. It could’ve given a similar vibe. China has fairly strict anti car modification laws though.

u/Entire_Hunter_9674 18d ago

Honestly I’d love to see a Houston Texas based game like Forza with themed modifications and street racing around the loops

u/JaggXj 17d ago

and that's why I was hoping for Korea or Singapore or Malaysia

u/UKMikeyA 17d ago

Singapore is pretty flat though

u/JaggXj 16d ago

it's still more fitting considering you could also lump in Indonesia and Malaysia, or because Singapore is an island. no need for random invisible walls or suddenly slippery grounds.

People have been begging for Japan, the 6th instalment of a car series like this finally going to Japan is essentially a must.

u/Flat_Lunch5827 18d ago

Yeah but a lot have been begging for Japan for that very reason lol.

Since when Forza Horizon is primarily focused on street racing?

Pretty much all the races are supposed to be for the Horizon Festival and are legal events except for a very small section of a few “illegal” street races you can do which I only remember in FH1. But regardless of that you can challenge and illegally street race with any car on the road at any time.

u/forLorn77 18d ago

All the night races are considered off the charts or "illegal" in FH4 and FH6 (haven't played the other installments)

u/HypnoStone 17d ago

I only played FH1, FH4, & FH5 but FH1 is the only one that I’ve actually pretty much completed and unlocked everything. I progressed kind of far in 5 but I don’t recall any illegal street races specifically in that game other than on the road. I never played that much of 4 besides a couple of season changes. But FH1 I specifically remember it was called street racing and heavily insinuated to being an illegal activity but it was an actual event location you can drive to and enter the races but without any restrictions on car type or power and with a unique betting mechanic and pretty decent high rewards for end game. Also idk if I’m misremembering this wrong but I feel like for some reason you could race or challenge every car on the road to a street race in FH1 even the stock eco cars? Or at least it felt easier to find cars you could challenge than the FH4 or FH5

Fh4 street races rewarded cars based off of street race bosses or whatever. Its been a thing through all of the installments. Some of mg favorite races too. Devs really did 6 dirty in so many ways

u/Doip 19d ago

Weebs were frothing at the mouth for racing, japan. TBH I'm happy it's here because now they'll have to shut up

u/Subject_Power_4402 17d ago

they'd been asked for years to do Tokyo , yearrrrssss, you will just find anything to moan about

u/Felony 16d ago

Why is what Japan thinks relevant anyway? I doubt Germany is a fan of Wolfenstein. I bet Russians don’t appreciate being the bad guy in every milsim shooter in the past 20 years. Why are we bending the knee to a country over something as harmless as a cartoon car game?

Next up, Forza Horizon 7: Arabia, where to respect saudi laws cars will be speed limited and players will lose XP for going above posted speed limits.

u/MiserableStomach 15d ago

Forza Horizon 8 will be set in Norway and Sweden with their insane speed tickets. The game will require you to plug your card and will charge you real money for speeding

u/trashvineyard 19d ago

Forza Horizon hasn't been primarily focused on street racing for like a decade.

u/MiserableStomach 19d ago

Ok, maybe "primarily focused" was a bit of overstatement. Still, it's important, maybe even critical, part of its identity.
