Forza Horizon 6 Setting Seemingly Leaked Well Ahead of Reveal

It’ll be a great setting, you’ve got countryside, insane motorways and you could even do the whole canyon racing thing. I still maintain they should port Horizon 4 to PS5.

@EfYI Is that not true of every online game these days? Feels a bit mad to single out MS when Driveclub exists.

@EfYI if they close the FH5 servers next year when 6 comes out, that’ll be the last MS game I buy.

Still weird to see Forza news on a PlayStation website as if would be the most normal thing in the world.

@EfYI Soon? It took FH1 and FH2 10+ years before their server closed… We’ll talking about FH8 or 9 before any of the recent FH servers close. Microsoft typically keep their servers active for a very long time cause they don’t have to rent the space from another company.

@EfYI Horizon 3 is almost 10 years old and the servers are still up, 5 servers won't be down anytime soon

@Dodoo can u still play forza games offline?

@Anke I loved FH4 [set in England]. I've played several of them, including FH5, but 4 was my favorite by a mile.

Can I tell you what was different about it, especially compared to FH5? No, not really. But it worked for me in ways FH5 didn't.

@nessisonett Forza 4 will never be ported due to licence issues, can't even buy it digitally anymore on Xbox sadly.

@EfYI They don't close the servers they just stop new sales of the game.

@nessisonett i love horizon 4 , and own it on xbox , but they delisted it , i can't see them paying to renew the licences for another release.

@EfYI they are still playable with out the servers though.

I found Forza 5 very over-hyped and underwhelming. Doubt I will bother with 6.

I was sure they had said previously that Japan doesn't work so well for a FH setting due to the mountainous countryside or something.

The again I'm pretty sure Ubisoft said Japan doesn't work for AC because of a lack of tall buildings and they eventually made shadows, so...

@EfYI you are aware it can be played offline?

Forza horizon 5 really surprised me at just how good it actually is. Its some of the most arcade racing fun I've had and its a real blast online and I've got to admit the community is really friendly and very welcoming to new players. I don't use the controller as I use my steering wheel and the immersion is just amazing and you really can't beat proper force feedback. There's no comparison.

Don't care if it's set in Wythenshawe. I'm in for every incarnation of Forza Horizon.

@EfYI First of all, these games can all be played offline. Second, MS delists games due to licensing but their servers continue to operate for many, many years. So I have no idea why you think if you buy 5, you’ll be forced to play 6 soon. Nope. I still play almost all of the games occasionally. Maybe know your stuff before speaking. I’ve been playing FH games since the very first one.

@thebizniznizbiz "Don't care if it's set in Wythenshawe." Yes I'm all for a greater Manchester forza 😅. We could take in the sunny hulme and have a good old jaunt around the serene miles platting..

Another game set in Japan?

@Artois2 japan has some of the most stunning scenery and vistas in the world. It would lend itself extremely well to a game such as the forza horizon series. Where would you rather it be?

@RagnarLothbrok yeah. The get delisted quickly but they keeper servers up years and even when they go the game still works.

Sweet, hopefully they design the game with some extra boy racer custom modifications since alot of it stems from Japan.

Enough of japan, forza should be in africa .

@RobN
" I loved FH4 [set in England]."

Partially in England.
It's set in the UK with lots of it in Scotland.

There better be Touge, or else it's not worth it.

That aside while not into Forza Horizon at all, I think it's a good setting for this sort of thing of rural/city, whatever else they want to setup of objects or event types or whatever (that aren't just basic few events like many games have and barely offer any other interesting ones so the game get boring or a non purchase, no one wants to make new rules/event types and it's really boring, you can use any objects, routes, car classes, etc. it's really not that hard).

I do think other countries would be nice as we are seeing a lot of the same in games these days (I don't care if it's set in my country or any other, I don't care, I want more done with gameplay not immersive/this is my home replicated in a game to suck up to audiences nonsense, I just don't care, it's a game, I want gameplay or it to be used for that not setting and audience appealing, it's just dumb) and going 'look at this country for this audience or aesthetic and less of the others out there' that you can only really get in fiction or rally games, so it is kind of annoying.

Seeing a lot of Japan, England (however many set in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, etc.), any place in the USA, and others. It's getting samey, I'd like to see other places.

Any random islands or other lesser known countries would be nice, if possible, if they aren't too bothered by it even if it is real cars and fiction you can place things in of reality (it is a game after all you can do anything) besides what it is based on reality.

There is a reason I am more for fiction as they can make it whatever they want the problem is they are usually still based around other common places so it is kind of annoying.

@Northern_munkey Scandinavia, Indonesia, India, Russia, china. Just few that Japan has been done alit recently but by the time it’s released that may not be the case. You’re right though Japan is beautiful

@Artois2 all those locations you mentioned would be top notch too.

@Anke easily the worst and most bland one out there. 3 was peak and 4/5 were good enough, but definitely fall into quantity over quality.

i want them to make a fictional location so they can go crazy, can have completely separate biomes connected. i also dont think it will release day one on PlayStation

I would most definitely play a Forza horizon game in Japan as they have some of the most amazing winding country roads.a drifters dream

@nessisonett @Anke why is 4 better than 5

@Anke drive lub done ✅ Britain

@Toot1st yeah like burnout paradise

Japan would be just great, very fascinating and surely full of beautiful sceneries

The downside is another right-hand wheel car region again, third in 6 games.
