Rally players' take on Forza

[Tony]

Has anyone played Forza Horizon 3 or 4? How is it?

Not so good as others i think. The graphics are good and layout of the lands. Though I more of a sim guy not the arcady one and that is what these are more or less arcade. But you can have a lot of fun in these too, ive played on the psp4 and graphics are beautfull at 4k. If u own a psp4 I think it's woth the mony.

No I would not play it at all. I played only Horizon 2, it was the time when I did not play or have neither Forza Motorsport or Dirt Rally. (I got Horizon 2 with my xbox). I have no reason to believe FH3 or FH4 would be different.

I can recommend Forza Motosport for most players, it is a very good blend of sim and arcade. Played for hundreds hours only FM4 on 360 though.

I tried both. Beautiful games but made me feel sleepy. Idk why. Also the wheel deadzone is too big for me and can't be turned down to zero. Felt weird.

But Xpertgamingtech on youtube is a Dirt Rally god and he also loves Forza. Doesn't hurt to give the trial a shot. Takes forever to download tho.

Hmm it seems Forza has no damage model is that right? Looks like NFSMW to me with similar mild RPG elements. I don't know anymore if I will like a game without car damage.

[crisXI]

Yeah no damage. The environment is destructive tho. It was mildly amusing smashing thru stone walls but got boring fast.

horizon doesn't, from what little i remember of what little i played of 3, but motorsport does

not a very good one, but it exists

Motorsport 7 is good IMO, but Horizon is just too party-ish for me, and ramming stone walls breaks the immersion too much.

The Forza Horizon 3 looks like a nice package of everything except for the actual gameplay. Might be fun in that way.

I played a little and actually like DR a lot more in terms of the actual driving - it's unbeatable.

For the record don't have a steering, I use a gamepad and 3rd person view even in Dirt Rally.

horizon's a weird one

when i played it, i couldn't but feel that it was just a prettier, next generation version of test drive unlimited with none of the narmy 'soul' that made TDU and TDU2 comfy

not very 'good' games, but comfy games, and by comparison horizon feels like a typically sterile paint-by-numbers open world game

How do you think Grid 2 compares with it? Taking out the open world of course. I actually have fond memories of Grid 2 (even more than Grid Autosport because of the narration and fans and some fun modes like overtake).

Forza horizon 4 is very nice looking with decent music but ultimately the driving feels rather superficial, and doesn't really engage you if you've enjoyed playing 'meatier' driving games.

+1

I felt it's hollow, may be good way to listen to some new music.

Somehow I have fonder memories of NFSMW (2012). It had also no damage model at all, but its perpetual wet roads, cops, and even music was so memorable.

I kinda like the atmosphere of Grid 2. I totally can't stand the driving, because you *gain* grip by drifting and smoking tires. Grid Autosport doesn't have that nonsense, but its presentation is a bit too sterile.
