Unpopular opinion: Need For Speed Heat is better than Forza Horizon 4

[negazina]

Played both heaps on Xbox, don't own on Steam yet but this game is seriously legit.

The big things that make this game so much more enjoyable is the in-depth car customisation, good progression and skippable cutscenes of course. Also, the cops are a damn challenge and fun to mess around with.

Horizon 4 I feel is really good in the graphics, atmosphere and car list. However, I had MUCH more fun with Heat than I did with Forza. I played heaps of racing games back in the day and Forza just doesn't pull me in like NFS did.

Good for you, but i prefer forza horizon 4 ! But im waiting for TDU 3 !! The best of all !!

[Helghast Trooper]

Both are good but i prefare forza horizon 4 myself.

[EvilNando]

the driving mechanics are absolute trash tho, pacing and race progression are def better than forza

I like unique day / night dynamic and that drifting is really nice. But game has very decent story. Despite Heat's impressive effects, Forza 4's four-season system is still more advanced, as weather conditions significantly affect how your vehicle handles.
Forza 4's soundtrack is more impressive, as it offers several different genre-based radio options.
Forza Horizon 4 is still my top pick and a way better option

HEAT is utterly superb until you find out how fast it all comes to a peak.

It is 100% worth the price right now and a great time while it lasts but that is the key.

Forza 4 lasts alot longer and while I would agree with the OP in a tit for tat sense the fact is Forza 4 has ALOT more to offer because I could still play it now and do new things but that is not the case with HEAT.

It is a shame because HEAT really is a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥ blast to play. Stick some Motley Crue on and burn some rubber!

Forza Horizon 4 is a different kind of Arcade racer and I don't think it is fair to really compare the two games in terms of saying one is more better over the other in my opinion.

both are great, two different genres of racing games. can NEVER do the amazing driving style like in FH4 but the overall mood of NFSH is great.

Of course NFS Heat is a better game than Forza 4, and I think that's to due with the arcade driving style in NFS Heat which makes it a lot more fun than Forza, and not to mention the race tracks, it's way more better in NFS Heat, specially night driving race tracks, which brings me to most important factor that makes the difference between the two, police chasing, the adrenaline stuff when you try so hard to make it in one peace before heading into the garage.
and of course the graphics as well, I'm not talking about general graphics, I'm talking about the cars I own, specially the headlights it's way better on NFS, however I think the world looks more realistic on forza specially the shadows on forza are way better than NFS.
But again, games are all about fun, and that's why NFS is way better, because only kids who don't have a driving license, do care about sim driving games.
NFS has published a video of how likely the next game will look like, and the graphics look absolutely nuts!

Got here (a bit late, sorry) because I just installed Horizon 5 after playing quite a lot of NFS Heat with a new driving wheel (Logitech G920), and I couldn't understand why I had way more fun in Heat than Horizon. I played Horizon 4 a while back, but had the same problem. For some reason, I thought it was supposed to be the other way around.

The comments in this thread helped me clarify things a little. I guess I'm more of an arcade person than I though. However, I like the way F1 20XX cars handle, all the way back to 2010/1/2 and now with 2018, even it being not very forging at all (looking at you 2010). Is F1 a sim or an arcade?

Cheers!

I guess I'll have to eat my words. Horizon 5 is awesome. I just needed to switch to bumper camera, put the brakes on the clutch pedal (cause the brake pedal on the G920 just sucks), and git gud. The replay is a life saver for me. Cheers!!!

I think forza and nfs are are different groups. That means you can't easily compare them. I find both games very enjoyable.

And forza 5 bangs.
