forza horizon Forza Horizon: An Open World Forza!!

[calster17]

Engine swaps will always be limited to manufacture engines in the same cars, dont think Nissan would like the idea of a game letting you drop a 2JZ-GTE motor into a R34 Skyline, and likewise Toyota with a RB26 into a JAZ80 Supra!

 

Closest i'd ever think we'll see in a game is having a 'made for game' engine called 'toyo age' (4-AGE) or 'Small Block FV8' (a Small block Ford V8) and they used the same figures as the real engine.#

 

 

Ban finds would be fun, but I'd expect them to be along the lines of TDU in how you find them. As much as we'd all like sort of proper ways to get them and such, I would't expect them :(

[The Compensator]

I think it will not be that "realistic". You just find the car, then click on something and hooray, it's in a workshop. :(

The cars had to be rebuilt, they aren't being ported from FM4. The cars in Forza 4 can't handle a day/night cycle or the dynamic lighting that it brings.

The models might be the same, but they've been tweaked quite a bit.

Haven't they cut out performance customisations?

Haha what? All they need to do is tweak the "maps" that deal with lighting and such. Believe me that new IBL technique they use will have had night usage in mind, you don't just build something like that to only use it to do one thing, you're constantly evolving and working for the future.

Just relaying what the director from Playground was saying. They had to restructure the cars to handle it all or some such.

@Camel, there's workshops - so I've no idea if that entails performance or not. It should, though.

[T1M]

Maybe we'll still get basic performance upgrades, perhaps just like the 'Quick Upgrade' option in FM4. I hope not, I would love for bodykits/rims/in-depth upgrade options to remain, but I doubt this will happen. :(

[Eudemon]

I reckon wheels will be in as one thing people wanted in TDU/2 was to be able to make their car unique so I think they would at least allow that.

[superhyper]

I think they'll keep the in-depth exterior customization but wouldn't be so sure when it comes to performance upgrades

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Well going along the line of engine swaps, there is one cross manufacturer engine swap in FM4, the Top Secret Project 0-300 Supra. It has an RB26 in the game just like it does in real life, so I really don't see what the problem with other models or manufacturers doing the same thing.

 

If Porsche or Ferrari don't want other brand engine swaps, but then Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Honda, Ford, Volvo and Mitsubishi for example, don't mind, then why hold back all them for a couple manufacturers that don't? Allow engine swaps with brands that agree and don't with brands that prefer to keep their engine swaps purely inhouse.

[Camel]

It might of been tuning that they were talking about. But I know something has been cut along those lines. At least that's what they said in one of the videos.

[TimBud]

It won't be a proper Forza unless they give us full upgrade options.

I hope at the very least the visual customization will be nonexistent or very little, no need to have the online free-roam look like a JDM lobby.

Nothing wrong with a JDM lobby :cheeky: Maybe you could re-phrase that, so maybe it doesn't look like a scene from fast and furious.

[superhyper]

What Dan said. If you got a problem with my Civic...:evil:

[TimBud]

I'm pretty sure its not an attack on your Civic eh ;)

Especially as it not actually JDM. :cheeky:

[The Compensator]

I think it is an attack on whole car modding. :p

[TimBud]

No, I think just people that turn good cars in carbage, with crappy anime liveries and 15 stickers all for different shock manufacturers :)

[The Compensator]

Well, that's true, but the customisation should be included. :) I love modding cars :leaves:

Talking about the Civic in forza, as I don't just yet own one myself ;P I'm quite sure the '97 Type-R in forza could be counted as JDM :hmmm:

[iNotACactus]

Allow me to rephrase. Meant to mainly just attack ricers (all over Forza lobbies) which I do admit, not all civics are, but quite a few and it would help to have at least significantly restrained modification or at least not have the plastic fantastic crowd enticed by the game. Also no, the TypeR isn't JDM from my understanding.

 

The term Japanese domestic market (JDM) refers to the local market in Japan for Japanese-made motor vehicles and components. Within the car and motorcycle hobbyist import scene' date=' this term, and the related term Japanese domestic model, most commonly refer to Japanese-brand automobiles and parts designed and constructed to conform to Japanese vehicle and equipment regulations and to suit Japanese market preferences.[/quote']

[superhyper]

Oh well, it's probably just the fact that there are barely (if) any Type-Rs here that made me think of it as JDM :lol:

 

And I did see your point, but wanted to point out that cars can be customized with good taste aswell and this is why customization should be a part of Horizon ;)

[Dan G]

okay, the Type R EK9 in santtu's sig is JDM, made in Japan, mine (coupe's) are made in the USA, mines a vti sold here in the UK, in US they're sold as the Si model, both EM1 chassis :) I hope they fix the Si model in this forza, as it doesn't have the rear wing in FM4 :hmmm:

 

This is why I have a Genuine EK9 grill and pop-out cupholders, to earn my JDM points back :cheeky:

[T0M722]

If you got a problem with my Civic...:evil:

 

Yeah, I do. IT SUCKS!!! :P

 

 

 

Seriously though, I don't know which I'm more excited about, FH, NFS:MW or GTA V ! This year of gaming is looking pretty good so far. Shame about all the money I'll have to spend!
