Ive been playing FH4 for a few hours right now and its pretty much better than FH5 in everyway. FH5 felt way to easy and some of the fastest cars were given to the player very early on in the game. The game had no sense of real challenge or progression. FH4 is the right balance of enjoyment, challenge, and the story is way better.
FH4 is a gem and there are plenty of folks still playing it. FH5 has the fatal flaw of having a poorly designed map. Just too much empty desert. And somehow I prefer the drving in 4 over 5 even if the newer model is supposed to be more complex and realistic. In practice it feels more arcadey as the cars are just glued to the ground and less responsive to the environment (at least that's my impression so far). So if you don't have it, get the 20$ deluxe FH4 while it's still available. You can test both on the Xbox subscription.
I got an email about the sunset of FH4 last month and MS gave me the base game for free. The reason being that as a GamePass subscriber, I had FH4 as part of the sub, but I'd bought DLC for it. So the email said that in order to continue enjoying the DLC, here's the free base game so you can continue to install/play it after it's no longer available for purchase. I don't know if they'll continue to give the base game to people for free if they get the DLC, but this might be a way to shave off a couple of more dollars from the price (for GamePass folks) if they do. And I agree with the video verdict. I had a lot more fun in FH4, with the seasonal differences.
Ah darn, I just read the delisting page and it said they no longer sell the DLC separately. Still worth getting FH4 though for anyone who doesn't have it! It's awesome.
Personally, I prefer Forza Horizon 4. especially for the Battle Royale, which in my opinion is better set, my channel deals with more than 5 because it is the fashion, not for anything else. New sub!
I’ll forever stick to fh4, it carried my childhood especially during Covid, I played forza horizon 5 and it just didn’t feel the same, the map felt boring and I’d get so bored easily
for 20 dollars you should get the ultimate package that includes all the dlc.the reson they have that good of sale is because the game is going to be delisted soon.i wish they would do some advertising to let people know that.i know about it threw you tubers that cover games that are going to be delisted.
Very good and detailed comparison info. Thank you sir for your work! I'm new to series (33y.o) and bought it during last summer sale, having a blast with it. I think every petrol head would find his childhood or teenage dream car in this game! Cheers!
4 still seems more populated. That is at night after people get off work I find. Best part though is that the map is smaller so you can actually just drive around and have more street races with people. The map is also just more enjoyable with the season system and the lack of… sand.
Good comparison. I guess I lean pretty heavily towards the arcade end of the racing spectrum, and even these couldn’t hold my interest for very long. Will you be able to play online at all in FH4 after 2024? I think my enjoyment was impacted by the fact that both of these games flood you with cars without doing a good job of highlighting the differences between them. I needed a better sense of progression. I found the whole menu system pretty poorly designed as well, throwing all sorts of info and options at you, thus making what you’re looking for harder to find. I struggled for quite a bit in both games to find out how to change my character’s name or appearance, and even changing your car takes about a dozen button presses on a controller. I will say though that both of these games look absolutely beautiful, and the racing is good, just not to my taste.
The challenges system and weekly thingies are already off but you can get points for group events and unlock all the rare cars. So everyting is there but the fluff is cut out. The auction house is still working.
@@Nyxson I'm stuck with a switch for now, but one of my dreams has to play some Forza Horizon, only had playstation before, so that news got me sad, It doesn't even make sense, maybe just for the music licenses?
@@usuratonkaichii They have so many car licenses, music as well but I'm pretty sure its coz of car licenses - U can buy the ultimate edition for 16 which is a crazy price, then play it later. I bought a playstation and played need for speed / the crew moterfest which are like the top of the line most popular and highest rated racing games on playstation, and comparing it to Forza horizon 5 was actually a joke. I never play those 2 games anymore, Forza is just so much better then everything else UNLESS you want something sim, Forza is the best car arcade game by far wise and GT7 on playstation is defo the best sim game out now. Both are console exclusives.
@@usuratonkaichii I'd pick Forza over GT7 all day tho, that's the only reason I have an xbox, everything else on xbox I don't like as much compared to PlayStation especially the controller
Got both fh4 and 5 on release dates...played both to death..both are brilliant but fh4 is so much better...the roads the scenery everything, I find myself putting on fh5 every few weeks but after 10mins i put fh4 on....dont get me wrong fh5 is amazing but like others have said Mexico is boring..the scenery is amazing too but just not the same as Scotland...maybe im being biased cause im from Scotland 👋...but racing down a tight twisty back road is so much more fun....and another thing every time i play fh4 theres always at least 60 online players...fh5 its usually like 25...end of rant..fh4 hands down.
i like the new cars in fh5 but the map and missions and everything is horrible after fh3 and 4 so i just play fh4 and drive around Edinburgh until 6 come.. i hope for big cities like Tokyo or smthing

Forza Horizon 4 is better than better than 5 Mexico map is boring

Bro FH4 looks more diverse then FH5
It does not just look. It is more diverse
Personally, I prefer Forza Horizon 4. especially for the Battle Royale, which in my opinion is better set, my channel deals with more than 5 because it is the fashion, not for anything else.
New sub!
There was something special about FH4 i played the heck out of it in 2018 and 2019 the graphics were just stunning at the time and still are now.
Man at this point don't even know what to expect from 6
Just expect for it to be... that's it
They better bring back the modern cities. That's what made FH3 my favorite. I don't wanna drive around ancient ass ruins.
According to some leaks. FH6 setting will be in China.
😅@@Nyxson
No roads just desert

Props for using the SpaceEngineers soundtrack as a background
It's too epic to pass it 😎
Fh4 nailed it with the map. It looks and feels alive and vibrant. FH5's map looks dusty and dead, as though an apocalypse.
Absolutely had to go with FH4>FH5
Can someone confirm if the auction house is still functional in FH4? Are there enough folks selling or buying?
Dude game's not dead. And there are more players playing FH4 than FH5
@@Nyxson cool thanks!

4 was much better
Just got Forza 4 full price and I dont regret it - I think as time goes buy i will more than get my moneys worth, will buy 5 in the sales another time
Its possible to make a negative review without crying for 10 minutes. wait nvm i think that's just your accent lol. good video.

I believe online will be available. Make sure you own the game. Also on steam I see 30k players on horizon 4 and only 10k on 5 rn
the only thing I wish 4 had was the better lighting that 5 has
On steam a lot of reviews say that FH4 doesn't work with nvidia gpus
I had no problems with it on a GTX 1080. Near max settings at 1080p. (Now running a Radeon RX 7600XT)
I play at Ultra 1080p, 30. I got a 1050ti 4gb, and a old amd a10 processor. Never had a problem with my nvidia graphics card.
My RTX 4060 runs it fine, so I wouldn’t say that’s accurate generally.
Here no problems on the 4070ti super. Works fine
No problems with it on my nvidia gpu
Forza 4 is wayyy better!
So if I’ve understood correctly if you buy fh 4 you will still be able yo play it after 2024 or not?
Yes. You just won't be able to buy it
The challenges system and weekly thingies are already off but you can get points for group events and unlock all the rare cars. So everyting is there but the fluff is cut out. The auction house is still working.
sadly the game got delisted from the microsoft store, right?
Yep... well not yet, but eventually

Just bought 4 cause it's getting delisted and on sale
Incorrect, Forza Horizon 4 costs more

Yes. You will simply won't be able to buy it... or rather other won't be able to buy it
@@Nyxson no my question is would i be able to install it or not, will it disappeared from my library itself?

forza 5 having everything already unlocked seems too boring
I have played both completely. FH4 is better. More optimized, map is better, DLC are better. Get FH4 before you can't
FH4 on steam only $4.6 ❤
Bought yesteday. Never buying Forza H 5
I loved FH4, but FH5 just lost me after maybe two months.
Personally I think 4 is better. It's more realistic and less Arcady imo.
FH4 all day long dude.
Graphics are better on 5 but I had more fun on 4. Also the Map was better on 4. I had a blast on 4 and 5 was like oh cool graphics and that's it
fh1 is the best so go play that
