Xbox Game Studios |OT9| How many games would a game studio make if a game studio could make games?

You can’t put a ramp for a long jump in the city :joy:

We’ll include the country land outside of Tokyo

I hope it’s sooner but if the devs really don’t wanna go with it but still want to satisfy that Japan itch then Hong Kong and South Korea could be great alternatives.

Those are even more city-y, which is the problem with people’s expectation of Japan.

Another thing. I feel the cars are too big in size.

I am looking forward to seeing how Test Drive Unlimited pulls off Hong Kong though.

Everybody loves cities except the devs, i really miss surfers Paradise and it’s starting to feel like it was a one off and they’ll never bother again

I could see Japan tbh. Make a corner a Japanese suburb + city(Kyoto would be a good shout) and dedicate the rest of the map to mountains, mount Fuji, hills, rice farms, temples,etc, etc. Plenty of unique landmarks to showcase.

The ultimate Forza Horizon would be Forza Horizon World. Uses Bing Maps and the technology used for Flight Simulator, features the whole world.

I just hope Forza Horizon can change their formula for the campaign. I want there to be structure again like they had in FH1 and FH2.

I agree, just think that when most mention Japan they want to race through the streets of Shibuya and they’d ultimately be disappointed with something like that.

Don’t think that technology has anywhere near good enough fidelity for up close assets.

I wouldn’t mind a mainland Europe version of Horizon, where they’ll take all that Europe has to offer and condense it down into a Horizon-sized map. So we’d have the Autobahn in Germany, the Swiss alps, the French Riviera, the fjords of Norway, etc

Since the UK was so recent, I doubt they’d even consider it for the next version, but at some point down the road it’d be nice.

They should repurpose the old Horizon Games and combine them in one experience. Connecting them with one gaint highway

Flight Sim tech is promising but not yet effective at granular level which is required for Horizon game

We’ve seen enough of Europe thank you

I would really like something like that. I really feel like it’s such a waste those games are delisted due to car license. All the work on the beautiful worlds and technology like, almost disappears for non-owners.

I imagine in the future it could combine with procedural generation technology to get close details. We have to realize that tech is literally only in its first iteration, if they invest on it it could become something special and even a tool for developers creating games in real world locations.

Yep, at this point I’d love to see an Asian setting. Be it Japan, Korea, China, etc.

Tbh just in general I think I really enjoy seeing places that I have little to no exposure to. FH5 for example really opened my eyes to how beautiful Mexico is.

Assuming they’re sticking with the “new game, new setting” theme of course.

They are and they always will be… It’s there philosophy :heart_eyes:

FH6 in Africa. Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Namibia…just span the entire continent and you’d have a diverse, gorgeous game.
