Not big into racing games, but FH6 is making me interested. Last racing game I really got into was burnout paradise on the PS3 I think. I don’t care about online at all, this would pretty much be solo story play, and exploring Tokyo.
I just don’t know much about forza, the different editions, if I’d like the controls. Is horizon more like burnout or NFS, or more sim racing?
I only like arcade racers and I love Forza Horizon. The online components of entering races with other players you can totally ignore. The open world events (Forzathon, if it’ll still be called that) are pretty fun and collaborative rather than competitive.
If you like having a wide variety of cars to drive, a bunch of different race types (road, street, dirt and cross country racing) and great looking scenery then it’ll definitely appeal to you IMO. There’s also open world stuff like danger signs (stunt jumps), drift zones and speed traps/zones which I think are pretty fun and a nice break from races.
It plays great with a controller, all you need is accelerate/brake/turn/handbrake and you can complete most content (maybe not drift zones).
FYI if it’s like FH4/5 it defaults to online but there’s no need to turn it off as other players can’t get in your way and there’s not that many people on each map anyway.
Ok, this is getting me excited. Completely forgot about the speed cameras and jumps in Paradise and recall liking that aspect.
I’ll admit Japan is what got me looking, but it’s sounding like something I might actually really enjoy.
I’m pretty hyped for FH6 but I’ll wait a couple of days after release to get it, just in case ;)
If you want to test FH4 pirated (you can’t buy it anymore for licensing reasons) before shelling out for FH6 just DM me and I’ll give you details on where to get a good copy and how to set it up on Linux (just got done with that a few days ago, even have multiplayer working).
