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?
If you like burnout paradise’s “open world driving around doing stuff” vibes, you’ll probably get a kick out of Forza Horizon! That’s basically its whole thing too (slightly more realism, slightly less fast-paced craziness, big open world that’s a pleasure to drive around in). We have and absolutely love FH4. (Shame it got delisted.)
So yeah, can recommend.
Forza Motorsport is more like other Burnout/NFS where you’re on closed tracks with no open world, from what we hear.
Controls aren’t bad, and you can remap stuff if you need (at least on PC, dunno about console, but I would hope you can there). It’s got loads of options from Burnout Paradise type arcadey down to shifting-with-clutch, you can adjust it whenever you like (well, maybe not in the middle of a race but besides that). At least in FH4. I’m assuming 6 is similar.
