I'm curious what was cut from the original draft of this episode. I was expecting more details on each iteration and what changes came with it. Like fm3 rewind feature and top gear influences. Fh1 didn't have as much freedom offroad or things you can crash into as mentioned in the video. Lots of invisible walls. Wasn't till fh2 where there was a little more freedom and destructible items, then fh3 really embraced that and took it further. Omitted the hot wheels expansion to fh3, that was amazing. Lego expansion was fun on fh4. Kinds wished this episode was a little longer. 😢 Still enjoyed seeing Forza get some ❤️

I feel the same about fm4, its the last game where you put an rb26dett in your datsun, not a 2.6l inline 6. Its the last one to have a lot of normal cars like jettas and sentras. I wish for fm8 they would do more cars like that instead 750 ferraris, 900 lambos and suvs. I also wish they would do more visual changes. Like im sorry but if i have an old honda civic and i run a fully built motor with turbo and exhaust, my exhaust pipe is not going to be the stock 3/4" pipe.

Love seeing vids on a game I really like. Been a fan of Forza since Motorsport 4, the enthusiasm has died out a little bit but Horizon 1 will always be a deeply cherished game. A true passion project.

[@doctorscrubb2538]

Forza horizon 3 was the first one I played and I enjoyed the hell out of it. My favorite aspect was the ability to tune the cars. I built so many tunes on every game since then the games gave me a chance to use my car knowledge

I like the Pubes and Dark Side preferencies mentioned. Good stuff guys!!! 👍🤟💪😆

[@iimash_buttons1686]

You did an amazing job with this Up To Speed on Forza. But you forgot to mention a major feature in the game that set them even further apart from GT and that's Engine Swaps. The fact that you can swap motors in a game was incredible. An the fact that they use to tell you what car the swap came out of was a great touch as well.

[@samduncan3143]

Well you say that, but GT7 is bringing Engine Swaps of its own to the party and from the one we saw in GT7’s State Of Play, the engine model number is shown too. :) Nevertheless, both franchises are legends and represent their respective consoles incredibly well.

[@mindandbodymuscle5345]

Let's not forget the supercharger whine of a roots blower. The sound between Corvette and mustang cobra superchargers in Forza motorsport well compared to gt series. It was just better on Forza.

[@AkimasaJP]

it’s Donut, they always seem to forget key parts of the topic at hand and sometimes even use the wrong footage

[@DilRyeMaster]

Dan Greenawalt & Turn 10 had many, many, MANY meetings with manufactures about collision modeling. The companies felt it might show their brand in a negative light, naturally. IIRC They came to these companies as car lovers, first and foremost and made it clear they weren’t just trying to smash the cars up purely for silly video game reasons. They really helped the manufactures see the big picture; that there were a lot of potential fans and potential customers if they were willing to play ball. Kudos to them!

[@RattleCanShenanigans]

I remember reading about the extreme blowback from certain manufacturers about depictions of vehicle rollovers in-game.

[@mrscootscoot662]

The OG Forza Horizon is still my favorite racing game today, way more nostalgic than GT! It always amazed me after playing Underground 2 that there weren't more open world racing games, so when this came out it really was the next step for racing games.

[@krudmuphinstudioz]

Very happy to see a Forza episode! I've been playing since the very first game and loved every one of them. I do feel like this video kinda skipped over and underestimated the impact Forza Motorsport 4 had though. To many, it's still the crown jewel of the entire franchise.

[@lordbigsmoke1340]

9:30 The main reason most video games with cars directly modelled after real life cars don't include crash physics is that the companies licensing don't want their car to have a bad image on the public eye, so they force the developers to not include realistic crash physics in their games

[@TreXXen]

Nah they're just abuncha narcs and cheapskates

[@AppleSlipper]

Yep. I remembered that Nolan did mention that in his DiRT 5 video game Wheel House episode.

I didn't get a 360 until 2012 so i would always look forward to going to the store to play the forza horizon demo. I swear it was the most realistic game I'd ever seen and it would blow my mind every time i played it. I wasn't even into cars yet but that game had me hooked. One of the first games i got for my 360 was forza and i was not disappointed after waiting all that time.

I don't remember if Gran Turismo has these options, but one of the two things that I find really awesome about Forza is that is you rewind and you can turn off assists like ABS, STM, and TCS. It really encourages you to drive properly but it isn't excessively punishing since you can quickly rewind if you mess up.
