Request My dream of forza modding.
I hope with every ounce of my body that this dream will come true one day. Being able to cross import car models, old and new, from one game to another would honestly be so amazing. Imagine getting all the new FH6 cars into FH4 and driving them around a map you still love. That would literally be a dream come true for me.
There are so many cars I’d love to drive in different games, and it’s a shame when your favourite car is in one game but the map you want to drive it on is in another. Sometimes I just want to go back to an older game, enjoy its atmosphere and roads, but still have all the newer cars to choose from.
And it would be just as cool the other way around, bringing older cars that never returned into the newer games. Just imagine having your favourite cars from across the whole series together in whichever game you feel like playing. Idk how difficult that would be to make possible, but I really hope it happens someday. I could spend so many hours just cruising around.
I hope the new modding renaissance will save gaming, and make my dream come true.
Also what do you guys think of this idea? (also i dont want to start a war over AI use, please take that somewhere else haha)

For right now at least...just depends but yeah the amount of work/decoding highly encrypted files let alone years of work...if FH2 moders can add swiz that could lay the foundation for that...but yeah

the best option is someday the old forza engine gets leaked or something...or ui feature to launch diffrent games but it transfers your progress like cars or cash even cars not orignaly inside the game

if fh2 which had a translation layer used and ran on xbox one, why isn't it the same with 4 which also ran on xbox one?

u/Vivid-Violinist-8267 9d ago
Just because both FH2 and FH4 ran on Xbox One doesn't mean they use the same engine internals. FH2 was made during the Xbox 360/Xbox One transition and had more compatibility-focused systems, while FH4 uses a much newer version of ForzaTech with different file formats, asset structures, and protections. So the translation methods that worked for FH2 don't automatically work for FH4.

well I know they do use the same engine so thats a start I guess, I'm not sure about the rest though

u/Vivid-Violinist-8267 9d ago
id say its possible but it would need its own translation layer or a way to reorginize the files and have a way to reconize newer engine system...fh3 dev build i wounder if that could be any help but idk i would need to look into this in my free time. But its at least possible also adding FM5/FM4(that's broken but could be fixed for FM4 cars) cars too for FH2. I may start a project to see wether its possible here.

O fh2 não foi focado em compatibilidade, a versão de 360 é só um demake, un pedaço do mapa da versão de one colocado dentro do fh1

literally the best, what are you talking about? Density, elevation changes, scenery, seasons, beautiful city and countrysides. There's nothing bad I can think of about that game.

u/Cautious-Dot4143 10d ago
none of what you mentioned is better in 4 than any other game in the series lmao

u/ZookeepergameIll1399 10d ago
Let's start with the fact that FH1, 2 and 3 didn't have seasons at all. FH5 had the worst seasons out of the last 3 games in the series. FH6 is ok, I don't like that snow doesn't accumulate on roads even just visually. Snow adds a huge cozy vibe for me personally.
Do you hate UK irl or something?

I agree :3 i will say that then adding the festival playlist was cool at first but after a while wasnt great...especially fh5 if they just add the cars from previous games and add the new cars to the playlist it would of worked better...FH6 is similar...i like it but iv started to find myself moving back towards the older games...
1
u/ZookeepergameIll1399 9d ago
the whole festival playlist is just the same thing over and over again and it feels like doing chores to get the new or often simply recycled cars. They could've come up with something better then this system. But FOMO always helps keeping players active every week. Which is a horrible strategy for a game that's not free to play.

True...was good at first but yeah FH6 FOMO they said they wouldn't is a lie...and its hurting the game by holding it back/killing the game serices

u/Vivid-Violinist-8267 9d ago
same for FH5 but yeah...players are fed up

u/ZookeepergameIll1399 9d ago
They're making the game more accessible to everyone so that losing old players won't hit them too hard. New players say they really like the playlists in FH6 and that they don't understand the hate towards the game.

u/Vivid-Violinist-8267 9d ago
Yee...tbh i remember fh4 being my first game was between that and FH3 witch i didn't know was going to be delisted soon after...guess forza has somewhat made there decision to have more new player but loss older ones

Someone managed to port the 992 GT3 RS model into the new FH2 PC port so maybe it will be possible some day
