Forza Horizon, Japan
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/09/25/forza-horizon-6-japan-setting-2026/

Can they bring back a focus on racing instead of a "social driving experience"?

More like Nintendo lost. Hope the Xcloud steaming and Gamepass are coming to Switch consoles is true.
Fucking Mexican forza 5 sold like hotcakes on PS5 alone. Every Japanese Playstation owner is going to buy this game. There hasn't been an open world arcade racer like Forza Horizon set in Japan ever. I'm glad those fuckers finally pulled out the nuclear option for this franchise. Hopefully they don't fuck it up because the last franchise were it's fanbase was begging for a sequel set in Japan was a fucking monkey paw and a half.
>>
Give me my supra and nobody gets hurt
>>
>>721625392
For the Japan setting? It was always known it was highly requested so alot of companies sit on shit like this for an emergency to help save a franchise.
As for why forza horizon 6 took fucking forever? The dev team (playground games) was split making that dogshit fable game. I'm sure the suits realized they can't fucking produce a decent rpg and moved them back to Horizon 6 development.
Also I'm 1000% positive that when the final word came down that 5 was getting a ps5 port. All movement publicly around 6 was stopped because that would take 5's port sales.
Horizon 6 was due over a year ago but porting 5 delayed that. That's why it's next year instead of 2027. They were working on the game for a while I'm sure.

If you confine the city parts to high way circuits it could work. With the concrete sound barriers on all of them you really only see the tops of buildings so they wouldn't have to worry much about surface detail.

I will never buy another horizon game. FH5 is the worst game purchase I've ever made on-release.
>>
>>721625392
Unironically: Fable.

Putting Playground on it instead of making them the Horizon sweatshop is why 5 has been a slog for like 6 years.

Glad we're finally getting away from Mexico, the map fucking sucked.

Time to break BDS and buy 6 and then MS has my permission to die.

you think we will get back 4 seasons again?

FH4 the season changes was one of the most coolest and beautiful thing I've seen in a game I wish other RPGs would have done this before.

I loved the snow exprience, and even if you felt tired of it you would get spring next week again, loved it!

A highway with a lot of TWISTS AND BENDS you disingenous fuck, the highway is designed like a high speed race track which is why it's so iconic.
Also yes, the parking areas for car meets would be an awesome addition and a huge part of car culture in Japan you fag.

>focus will be on 2000bhp hypercars and not jdm kino
>>
>>721630326
Obviously we will. They say as much in the very article linked in the OP.
FH5 also has the seasons. it's just in Mexico so all the seasons are essentially identical, which makes the system pointless.

There is basically no snow in the areas they are depicting, it's the wrong side of the Japanese mountains. The Siberian snowstorms all fall on the side facing Asia, Tokyo/Kanagawa/Fuji face the Pacific.
Not that it will stop them. Just like the cherries blooming in a "blink it and you'll miss it" fashion, the reason why they're so god-damn popular, is entirely lost on games set in American Jayphoon, where instead they have them bloom all year long because the typical game dev hasn't seen a cherry tree in his entire life.

Call me a slop enjoyer but I greatly enjoyed FH5. The only bad part was the setting. I am excited for a future videogame. What a nostalgic feeling

Cherry Trees will be a week, like the normal seasons they do.

Honestly, if they don't give me the toggleable weather function, because their seasons are shit to drive through: I'm gonna firebomb MS.

>>721630843
Bro there's also barely any snow in Northern England but it got plenty of it in FH4. Shut the fuck up weeb, nobody cares that you googled Japanese snowfall to look like an expert. It's a videogame.

The insane thing about this is that its gonna have Tokyo in it, this would be the first time we get a proper city in a Horizon game. Its not 1 to 1 but anything with an actual city feel would be insane.

Yeah surfers paradise was fun but it was still not big or cluttered enough to have a proper city feel, but they cannot do Tokyo at the scale of surfer's, that just wouldn't work, so the city needs to be big and cluttered enough to make the player notice its Tokyo. Keep in mind this is also the first time we get a popular city in Horizon. All the previous locations and city attempts were niche small places, even in Australia. Tokyo is the first popular city we get.

There are a total of, three car games in the history of mankind featuring Japan as an actual driveable location. Two of those only feature Tokyo and aren't even proper open world (Midnight Club and TXR), and the third, JDM is a dogshit game made by a bunch of polish jeets that might be the worst car game ever made in terms of gameplay.

So no, it is not overdone.

fh5 is like the most antisocial online game I've ever played. No chat, no lobbies, world empty, all seemingly on purpose?

the whole thing is on complete rails, a completely curated experience with all friction removed. I just want to be able to write to people, and do the races I want instead of cross country faggotry. It's so insane to have a great lobby with good racing in like street A class, you're excited to keep playing with those guys, and then it's nuked with like mixed surface s2, shit that noone wants to play. Why. Let us vote or something. Why can't I report people ingame, or give them props. Or just fucking talk to them? In an online game? ALL choices are removed. Random rewards, random races, random cars, random lobbies. keep spinning the wheel goy. Enjoy racing hacking chinks with 400 ping.

The game, for all intents, is single player. If every other player was a bot the whole time, there would be ZERO difference in the experience. All agency is removed. Zero faith it changes in Horizon 6.

FH5 is so frustrating. Greatest arcade racing physics and greatest car selection stuck in a thoughtless GaaS piece of shit. It's not even good at being a scam

It's going to Tokyo and the surrounding countryside. They will simply modify the scale of the city and and region to balance out urban street races with offroad stuff. I imagine something like 50/50. Tokyo is far too big irl to not scale down and change for something like this.

At any rate, I can guarantee there's a massive stunt jump off the top of Mt. Fuji and likely some races up and down it.

Because they are seen as "high status" cars, every kebab shop owner drives a BMW around here and switches out the rims for the uglies ones they can find and tints the windows as much as they are allowed.
These usually end up in the second hand market after 10 years or so and are instantly recognizable because of the "kebab tuning", at least you know what to stay away from.
Same thing with wagon Mercedes, except gypsies drive around in those and stuff the backs with anything heavy they can steal, usually breaking the rear suspension in the process, those we call gypsie wagons.

They are a little annoying, but people blow it way out of proportion. I'm willing to put up with all that because this is the only racing franchise that remembers to be fun while having good driving physics that strikes a balance between realistic and arcade. Maybe it's not he most realistic driving physics ever, but it's close enough that it feels like driving a real car. You get a huge ass map to explore, you can choose from hundreds of cars, always some shit to chase and collect, all of them super detailed and you can customize the shit out of them. There is no other franchise that lets me drive cars that feel like cars and isn't dry simracing shit, but lets me explore and do all kinds of challenges and do whatever racing type I want on the map. If the annoying dudebro is the price I have to pay to get this, I'm fine with that.

walking around in your garage and making use of the Forzavision or whatever to look at your car and shit. like test drive unlimited had, but that would require tech from 20 years ago that TDU had, like "customizing interior fabric color" and "car-specific working odometers that don't reset" which is apparently long-lost digital magic no one has been able to code since

Technically they're not killing it, it's still playable, so there will be no backlash.
Especially considering players gobbled up FH1 being not-killed, FH2 being not-killed, FH3 being not-killed, FH4 being not-killed, and 5 being not-killed soon as well.

oh yeah don't forget the absolute single biggest fuckup: when you search for a race, it doesn't search for other players among everyone online. it searches among the 60 other people in the same session as you, half of which are probably AFK (and which drops to 30 a few months after release once Playground cuts the server load as usual), so at most you'll ever have like two people hitting 'yes' and you get one race and wait 5 minutes for it to sync and then they leave and that's it.

The setting is exactly what makes it so bad, the Horizon games are only as good as their setting since the technical changes or the changes to the car rosters aren't that huge.
The audio in 5 is nice but that's about it, I felt actually sick after driving around in the absolute soulless map for 2 hours and just wanted to drop the game and never touch it again.
Also no proper seasons since the setting doesn't really allow it is a huge turnoff, I loved the fall and snow in 4

The setting legitimately drags the game right right down. The snow and fall in England changed how you played and made the game look visually different. The vivid greens of summer letting you go fast and the blinding whites of winter encouraged you to go sideways in a rally car. But then Mexico. With its 5 shades of brown. And 4 seasons that basically nothing changed other than the mountain (singular) got slightly snowy.

No experience with keyboard, but Horizon was designed to be played on a controller, it doesn't even have proper wheel support on PC. Hopefully this changes in 6 though. You should get a controller anyway, any current gen console controller will do and work fine on PC, PS5 or Xbox, they are useful for other games too.

Japan is incredibly proud that they have 4 distinct seasons to the point it's kinda funny, like they don't realise the same is true to 99% of the world (except Mexico it seems). So I'm sure they will make extra sure the seasons will all be unique.

Yes it does, it means that you lack the ability to learn the simplest shit and should be super embarrassing.
Also, I used to do a lot of "drifting" on snow and wet roads with no prior experience other than watching videos of people drifting and drifting in non simulator car games with a controller, can't however drift in an actual sim to save my life.

>>721652476
Drifting can be cool but the way how Horizon rewards it isn't, it encourages snaking, low speed rubber burning and AWD shitboxes with loads of power that require no skill to start sliding. Nothing in the game will require things that can make drifting to be actually dynamic like preserving your momentum or even actually keeping control of your car.

Even in central Japan you can barely tell there are 4 seasons, in winter there are single digit days where temperature drops below 0.

There are 4 distinct seasons in Japan, just not in any one place. You gotta pick up your shit and travel around if you wanna see them. Unlike in northern China, which invented the whole fetish for seasons (https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/36095). The Japanese, like any other population of humans, also sometimes fall on the left side of the bell curve to not realise the fact and take the Japanese seasons for a uniquely local phenomenon despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Im not saying thats a nice car, but if they need a new "hypercar" for the cover, that would be one.

Yeah but the funny word helps. It's literally a meme.

What you posted is just some gay vaporware AI generated shit that Jeets do to get views on youtube from gullibe retards. I am not saying Horizon or Microsoft is above that, but this isn't Asphalt.

Yep, and they will do it again with 7 (except each car pass will be $49.99), with 8, 9, etc.
While also deleting previous games from the stores to make sure no new players will ever pick them up, effectively killing multiplayer and all possible online discussions, forcing you to switch to the new shiny games.
Everyone buying Forza games is guilty in encouraging these jewish practices.

Playground is a different team than the Mainline Forza.

It will be a super tiny Tokyo, just see the "cities" on the FH series.

Will the AI be less shit this time? The one in Horizon 5 has got to be the dumbest, most artificially scaled AI I have ever seen in a racing game.

It works on my side. You need to log in your xbox account and set it auto-sign first.

It will sell a lot to chinks. I bet they will do it. Who the fuck cares about the weebcels' fee fee?!

>>721664367
Restart your device and try again. Otherwise, I dunno. You probably fucked it up.
