@@RESPECTxORANGES Well... people enjoy things like that when they dissapear. People hated winter before, now people love it when it's gone which has always been weird to me
The biggest culture clash when I played fh4 is why was everyone driving on the opposite side then I realized UK drives on the left compared to US that drives on the right😂
@@LigerSuperstarfr I love cruising. From the top of the map where the mountain is, and down south from the outside of the town all the way down to the far left house on the shoreline. FH4 Is just nostalgic!
Simple as this The graphics hold up so people who live for graphics dont need to change Many perfer the uk over mexico in terms of architecture and natural beauty The car list holds up It's cheaper and still supported nterms the festival playlist and online doesnt feel dead.
I prefer Mexico because it does naturally feel more vibrant and alive we’ve been asking for a nice resort and beach since FH4. Although I feel like most enjoy the ability to change up the scenery every once in awhile, like you said fh4s graphics do hold up well! My guess most people own the game and resort to fh4 after the game pass times out lmao.
It's not about country, it is about the effort of the development, I mean, there are a lot of better places in Mexico than just the half desert that they add in the game which is so boring, I wished they added another city apart from Guanajuato, like Puebla, which is still a colonial architecture city but at the same time much bigger and modern. They just took advantage of using the typical stereotype of the desert to save money and time instead of using it to an actual better map like the mountains, forest, jungles or beaches of Mexico
Yep I agree, it's because the overall vibes of both games in my opinion. While I think Unbound had better map structure, the Chicago map feels kinda boring compared to the Miami with all those neon lights in the night. Same reason with FH5, the Mexico map got a lot of new features and variety, but the map feels dull and dry. The rural side of the UK on the other hand is really charming to cruise on, especially with the dynamic seasons. People used to hate Winter because it was hard to drive on a snow, but now I missed it a lot with how dry Mexico is.
@@Twiggo_The_Foxxo people said that about Horizon 3, they said that about Horizon 4, they said that about Horizon 5. Nothing ever changes with the playerbase. They think the newest game is dogshit until the next one comes out and then the previous one is instantly a fan favourite classic. Remember all the hate for winter back in 2018 and 2019, now all we hear is "I want snooow!!!!"
The roads are tighter on FH4, giving a better sense of speed and making it feel more challenging and then rewarding, when cornering. Its like they made FH5 feel too easy.
Here where I live, the Forza Horizon 4 servers, for some reason, have more people than the FH5 servers. But I can't blame them. If Horizon 4 had the car sounds and features from Horizon 5, I would never play FH5 again. FH4 has an amazing vibe.
I've never had more than 7 or 8 people on the whole map in FH5 it's so disappointing. I just found out yesterday a bunch of people play FH4 still for this very reason, about to re-download it to my console
Forza Horizon 4 has a superior map and is way more fun to just drive around and tag up with people and car meets or drag racing. FH5 was terribly flat, boring and empty and they tried to compensate with thousands of updates and it's still a terrible game compared to FH4.
I just went back to FH4 a couple days ago and was surprised to see how many people were in the lobby just driving around together. I dont think ive ever seen more than 4 people in 1 place on FH5 outside of the drag strip
absolutely, although ive only gotten horizon 4, the people in online races and eliminator are really great most of the time. they'll just let you win 1st place for no apparent reason most of the time.ive only seen 2-3 rammers from a dozen ffa online races in total.
@@xmoinxmoin5215 YES! That is my biggest issue by far with the online aside from it being super dead. You cant simply drive with randoms like you could in FH4 for hours on end. You can pretty much garauntee that anyone you cruise with in FH5 will dissapear at some point for literally no reason.
Either way, Forza Horizon 4 was the first Forza game that I started making and sharing my content with liveries. Great Britain was probably one of the BEST mainland maps of the Horizon games. Fortune Island introduce the LONGEST Drift Zone and Treasure Hunts, and LEGO was a funny and enjoyable expansion. But the mainland of Great Britain was PERFECT, it was made for Seasons. It is green for Summer, red for Autumn, white for Winter and a bright green and purple for Spring. We had one main festival and a bunch of player houses. This was also the game where they had a perfect amount of fun experimenting, we got The Eliminator, Super 7 and even the Festival Playlist. Also, it was the last Forza game to ever have cars and events from Top Gear (that show before we got Donut Media and stuff). It also being the first on Game Pass and Steam too. So in reality, it is a combination of all of them that makes it the best game + it is still going even after 5 years of release and 3 without content.
Probably the best Forza Horizon in my opinion. Byron bay and Surfers Paradise are also extremely memorable. The sense of speed and perfect implementation of the horizon festival adds to it as well
FH4 was the first game I played when I first got my xbox in 2020, so the combination of music, nostalgia, and gameplay make the perfect combination for me
The fact that FH4 is still on Game Pass and not delisted yet is a good sign that future Forza games will have a longer lifespan in terms of being available on Game Pass, available to purchase digitally, and the online features are still available. Even the delisted Forza games you can still access the single player mode despite the online features no longer working. The same can’t be said for The Crew, which is unfortunate.
I love the FH4 map and scenery in the different seasons. FH5 just doesn't have the same feel to me. The autumn colours are amazing. The winter scenery is amazing. You said it at 9:38 - "The game does look really stunning" - that sums it up for me.
Because you can mod it much more than FH5 since they effectively turned off the anticheat. This allows me to make some pretty cool modded custom engines and many other things like custom Forza Edition cars, fading brake lights and wider FOV. And together with another modder from the FH4 community, I've been working on a mod called BetterFH4 that features some of these things.
@@purwantiallan5089 As of right now, it only works with the developer version FH3 that doesn't allow you to access any online features. However, FH4 can be modded while still being able to play with other people.
More people prefer this game than you think. I personally enjoyed the side content, car selection, and environments, especially in the autumn and spring seasons
Fh4 will always be my favorite, the game feels so full and that they didn't skip a detail and I love the diversity of the map and all the small towns around the map. the seasons were so fun to drive in and i still plau fh4 from time to time
I go back to it still, becuase it's still a great game to cruise in. DLCs were great, inc Strom Island that still has some great roads. Seasons, as reddit was full of "I miss winter" when Horizon 5 came. It just did alot of things right. Simple as that.
Knowing forza since 2005 or just earlier. FORZA HORIZON 4 is the first in the series I have owned and EVR played and i love it drifting around the city or just doing highway racing.
It was the first horizon game I really put heaps of effort into and I have heaps of cars I still love driving. I love the winter season as well because I’m from Australia so driving in snow is super rare. Yes I do have blizzard mountain in horizon 3. But it’s not a full map. Horizon 4 feels so cozy. And last of all. I love the sounds. The viper and M4 GTS are my main drivers. And the ID.R is awesome. The downshift sounds of the V8 McLarens and the W16 Bugattis are awesome as well. There are too many things I love about it
@@prdezka2252 What mod the game? Using Microsoft visual studio and some moding apps importing car is easy but physics part is hard you have to do it for each and every car copy paste from fh5 to Fh4 with some little changes👍
The reason I got 4 and not 5 is mainly the setting. I just find it nicer than the desert-y setting, even with its jungles and volcano, especially with the four seasons to keep 4's visual look refreshing. 5 Does have more variety in locations, but I'm just not a fan of the desert. Maybe it's because I grew up in the New York State, in a rural town of fields and forests for most of my life.
Dunno. - Edinburgh is better than a fucking Desert - Customization is much more efffective - Hospital Records in 4 are godlike - Spinning Wheel actually gives you better cars - Super 7 is like speedrunning - No "Mi abuelo coche" shit - Some story missions give you sick free cars such as the koenigsegg agera, the RWB Porsche 911 or the Dodge Demon SRT - Season changes are actually changing season.
i pre ordered the demo and i loved it so much i finally got that actual game and oh my god am i having fun. it's such a good game if im being honest. the only thing i dont like is that you can't sell cars. like if you buy a car that you end up not liking it's just permanently stuck in your car inventory.
You can auction them or toss them, or sell duplicates but yeah, an option to sell any - even for less money than you MIGHT get at auction would be nice. But anyway horizon 4 is gorgeous and enchanting and o hope you love it!
FH4 was literally my life. Made and lost friends, grinded the Festival Playlist, tuned 500+ cars, and did an endless list of shenanigans. Edit: (Also remember the Goliath Road race money glitch in February 2019?)
Two reasons: FH4 right now on Steam - $30 AU (Premium & on sale), FH5 right now on Steam - $70 AU (Premium& on sale). The other reason is I've never played any Forza game so I'm starting with less of a cost risk, knowing that FH4 is said by many to be a more complete game. I guess in essence they're the same reason :P but yeah there's mine...
I played this for the first time when added to core pass on Xbox and let me tell you I fell in love with it! I’m currently listening to the soundtrack again, as I haven’t heard or played the game in a while and I just wanted to say there’s a few roads in it literally a 15 minute drive from my house as one of the POI’s is actually a real area just outside my city and it tripped me out because I just thought I was really high at first until I Googled it because I was from around there 💀
Do you guys still get new horizon playlist challenges with every new season? Mine kind of stopped like a 2 months ago. It just says not avilable, try next time.
ok so here is the reason why am I playing FH4 is that everyone is bashing down the FH5 map and saying not much of a graphical changes. asides from that I bought the game for like what 8$ ig
Theo I ain't played Forza horizon 4 in 2 years and I still remember playing on my uncles Xbox one and unlocking really cool cars and stuff... Sad thing is my uncle deleted it because he wanted a new car. Reason it was sad was because I had LITERALLY 400+ cars and over 3mil or I think more...
i dunno, even tho i have them both and played both of them, I felt that forza horizon 4 is home to me while forza 5 more like chores to do, even the weekly and forzathon still more alive in forza horizon 4
I still play it to the date just because it has more map filled than fh5 and even is more vibrant in colours and environment than the sand deserted like Mexico 😅
I started playing 5 and it just feels empty, I had to hunt for a key for 4 (hard at the start of 2025), I feel the graphics and gameplay hold up very well and being ultimate edition its a no brainer. on pc btw
To me, when I was first picking the games with gamepass, it was the collab cars. FH4 had both the M12 and the Quadra V-tech, while FH5 only has the M12. So that started me on FH4, and after that I already had too much progress to switch.
It bothers me that any game would ever be delisted or made inaccessible ever. Unless it's specifically to promote heinous actions IRL which should be caught to prevent its release. How much work is it to update old software just to run just as well on recent hardware and OSs? Then run scan the code with the best bug scanning programs and fix them?
The most common reason seems to be content licensed for use in the product with an expiration date that passed. I'd request that content be modified enough to avoid infringement and let the altered version release at the same time the original with licensed content expires and gets delisted.
I'm one of the players that still play Forza Horizon 4 and I'm gonna explain why. I also own Forza Horizon 5 and I've played it 170hours now and I'm kinda running out of things to do that are fun. Something that these games are both great for is just to chill a bit and drive through the overworld or the expansions. And ngl, as much as I've complemented Forza Horizon 5 to not add streets for no reason to the streets counter like Forza Horizon 4 did with the amounts of Streetclusters everywhere, I prefer the variety of the map and I like that it's not so big. The map looks genuinely different everywhere unlike Forza Horizon 5, where there's a lot of emptiness and reused assets, despite having a bigger file size than Forza Horizon 4. The amount of times I've driven past the same building on different places of the map in Forza Horizon 5 kind of added to the boredom. TL:DR: The Map is just plain better in terms of variety and size. Another thing that weighted down the map were the season changes. While I hated the Winter in FH4 a lot, it also really added to the feeling and the direct comparison really made me like the game more, because I could get excited again when the spring came. FH5s Season system is really depressing. Barely anything changes, maybe there's some rain here and there or a sandstorm, but other than that it's always either night or sunny. If they would've removed the season system as a whole, this probably wouldn't have bothered me as much, FH3 is my favourite out of FH3, FH4 and FH5 after all and that one doesn't have a season system either. TL:DR: The Seasons system in FH4 is just better. Then the Handling. Forza Horizon 5s Handling is beautiful. It feels very snappy but very precise at the same time, similar to how FH3 felt, which is great. A big difference though is the grip on different surfaces and if you drive through breakable objects like some bushes or the guardrail. While almost everything in FH3 was solid like cement, in FH5 everything feels like butter, which sounds good but also isn't. Driving through little trees or bushes or even the guardrail without being slowed significantly at all fells like it's just too easy. The same goes for the grip changes. I don't like that you only need 2 wheels on the street to have full grip, I want it to be bumpy and to be slowed down when I get off the streets. FH4 is the perfect middleground between driving though butter or on Asphalt that is actually sand and Losing grip by just touching the offroad or driving into a cemented palmtree. TL:DR: FH4 feels more challenging because of the grip and breakable objects based on how much grip you have and how much you get slowed. And finally one of my biggest complaints, there's not enough Drivatars and NPCs driving though Forza Horizon 5. The Map feels dead, there's nothing in the way that you need to drive around, the game gives you so much space, that it's boring to play. The Highway in FH4 was already huge but you still needed to swerve to get arounds NPC Cars and stuff, but there are almost none in FH5. FH5s Highway is too big and there's not enough NPCs. I know, a lot of it comes from realism, because Mexicos streets aren't that loaded with cars, but I don't think this should be the realism that should be implemented. It should be fun, and it's boring. Forza Horizon 4 doesn't have this issue. TL:DR: FH4 has more NPCs and makes it more fun to swerve around them while FH5 feels completely dead
I play FH4 all the time maybe even more than 5. I play it on my ROG Ally and did a fresh playthrough when I got it so on top of still playing on my Xbox. I did a fresh start on Steam also. Something about it definitely keeps me going. The only thing I truly hate is that it dosent show which tires your car has in the garage. So you need to remember which ones you built for off-road and drift
At the end of the end I put more hours into FH4 compared to any Forza. And I pray we'll get season again in the next Forza Horizon. Every time it was winter I was having so much fun. The map looked gorgeous with the white snow reflecting all of the different colors throughout the day/night cycle.
I play Horizon 4 over 5 because the map is way batter along with the music and there are still loads of cars in the game that still never made it to FH5. I think you're underestimating how big Horizon 4 was I'm pretty sure it was the most sold exclusive game for the Xbox One
The map is beautiful and the fact that you can still see many players romaning in the online service make me wanna play even more. Even if my fav forza will always be fh1. You can still find players online to this day
No matter how bad the vehicle sounds are, and the lack of features, it is by far the most nostalgic and the forza game that has made me happiest over the years. and just something about the map that is just incredible
The seasons are definitely one of the things keeping people around, no other forza has that

I just find it nicer than the desert-y setting, even with its jungles and volcano, especially with the four seasons to keep 4's visual look refreshing. 5 Does have more variety in locations, but I'm just not a fan of the desert. Maybe it's because I grew up in the New York State, in a rural town of fields and forests for most of my life.
Yes, 4 feels alive and right at home! Dense and detailed! Charming
I think they may be playing to listen to that menu music , that thing is calming and beautiful
flippin love that music
SAMEE
Its free to download with the lowest tier of gamepass
Horizon 4 is just THE Vibe and in my opinion the peak of free roam racing. I cant enjoy 5 a bit, 4 is still the God of free roam for me.
Fh4 was my first forza game so i will always love fh4 more than any other horizon game
Dunno.
- Edinburgh is better than a fucking Desert
- Customization is much more efffective
- Hospital Records in 4 are godlike
- Spinning Wheel actually gives you better cars
- Super 7 is like speedrunning
- No "Mi abuelo coche" shit
- Some story missions give you sick free cars such as the koenigsegg agera, the RWB Porsche 911 or the Dodge Demon SRT
- Season changes are actually changing season.
"pants I can actually see grass here Can this countdown piss off" " okay monkey" got me dying🤣🤣🤣🤣
i pre ordered the demo and i loved it so much i finally got that actual game and oh my god am i having fun. it's such a good game if im being honest. the only thing i dont like is that you can't sell cars. like if you buy a car that you end up not liking it's just permanently stuck in your car inventory.
You can auction them or toss them, or sell duplicates but yeah, an option to sell any - even for less money than you MIGHT get at auction would be nice. But anyway horizon 4 is gorgeous and enchanting and o hope you love it!
GTA and Rocket League hardly count as racing games.
They killed Midnight Club for GTA V lul
Horizon 5 just feels like an expanded dlc for horizon 4. Plus the setting of driving in the UK to me is more interesting than Mexico
great video still cant believe i have watched you for all these years now and even tho i don't play racing games or game anymore i still watch you
I appreciate that!
@@BlackPanthaa no problem 👌
winter is one of the reason why i love FH4 rather than FH5
"Why the hell are people still playing Horizon 4"?
Why the hell are people playing Horizon 5?
Now that I have 4, I don't need 5. That's why.
Forza horizon 4 is so nostalgic for me
In October 2020: I want IT!
In December 2024: I BOUGHT IT!!!
2:49 I thought my net went out
The game costs 9.99 now and it looks almost as good as Horizon 5. Makes sense to buy and play.
FH4 was literally my life. Made and lost friends, grinded the Festival Playlist, tuned 500+ cars, and did an endless list of shenanigans.
Edit: (Also remember the Goliath Road race money glitch in February 2019?)
I just love to drive fast and tear up the fields and trees, I don't even usually do the races.
Im still playing Forza Horizon 2 in 2024😂
Two reasons: FH4 right now on Steam - $30 AU (Premium & on sale), FH5 right now on Steam - $70 AU (Premium& on sale). The other reason is I've never played any Forza game so I'm starting with less of a cost risk, knowing that FH4 is said by many to be a more complete game. I guess in essence they're the same reason :P but yeah there's mine...
Just bought FH4 for 20$, I feel like it’s the best value for money!
Edit: forgot to mention 20$ for the ultimate edition!
Enjoy! I'd be happy to drive around with you and help out being a longtime player! You're going to love it!
I played this for the first time when added to core pass on Xbox and let me tell you I fell in love with it! I’m currently listening to the soundtrack again, as I haven’t heard or played the game in a while and I just wanted to say there’s a few roads in it literally a 15 minute drive from my house as one of the POI’s is actually a real area just outside my city and it tripped me out because I just thought I was really high at first until I Googled it because I was from around there 💀
FH4 is more green and grassy than FH5, and I bought FH4 in 2024 because it was 80% off + all DLC free
Yes! Way better and more beautiful map. Denser, more detailed, feels more alive, real, and homey
I got my copy yesterday and i had an absolute blast
Do you guys still get new horizon playlist challenges with every new season? Mine kind of stopped like a 2 months ago. It just says not avilable, try next time.
Yes I do
ok so here is the reason why am I playing FH4 is that everyone is bashing down the FH5 map and saying not much of a graphical changes. asides from that I bought the game for like what 8$ ig
3:13, Big Smoke.
Theo I ain't played Forza horizon 4 in 2 years and I still remember playing on my uncles Xbox one and unlocking really cool cars and stuff... Sad thing is my uncle deleted it because he wanted a new car. Reason it was sad was because I had LITERALLY 400+ cars and over 3mil or I think more...
can we talk about how crab game is classified as a racing game?
i dunno, even tho i have them both and played both of them, I felt that forza horizon 4 is home to me while forza 5 more like chores to do, even the weekly and forzathon still more alive in forza horizon 4
Because FH4 is one of the best Forza Horizon. Its my favourite
Mine too, something in it just captivates me. Could be graphics, could be driving experience, could be music I don't know
FH4's road, offroad, and even cross country circuits are all just infinitely better than FH5
Fh5 is just open and empty. At least fh4 has woodland
I still play it to the date just because it has more map filled than fh5 and even is more vibrant in colours and environment than the sand deserted like Mexico 😅
Bro not everyone is rich
@ I’m talking about 5
I started playing 5 and it just feels empty, I had to hunt for a key for 4 (hard at the start of 2025), I feel the graphics and gameplay hold up very well and being ultimate edition its a no brainer. on pc btw
who still plays fh4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
The FH4 map and seasons are the best. The seasons is just incredible and makes the game feel fresh every time.
its getting delisted....... 😢
Aaand the reason why i bought it yesterday
To me, when I was first picking the games with gamepass, it was the collab cars. FH4 had both the M12 and the Quadra V-tech, while FH5 only has the M12. So that started me on FH4, and after that I already had too much progress to switch.
Cause we broke 😂😂😂
I got fh5 and fh4 and tbh the atmosphere and vibe is completely different, dare I say fh4 felt alive
Also if u search up best car game Forza horizon 4 pops up
@@randomnoobguy1411 assesto corsa is the best tho
@@randompotato4216 yeah but if u were someone just wanting to buy a game u would search it up on google of which the game that pops up is FH4
Forza Horizon 4 main menu brings me back to 2019 when I first got my xbox for christmas loading it up during the cold winter months.
forza horizon 5 is empty game that's why people play horizon 4.. the end. no need to thank me for saving time
It bothers me that any game would ever be delisted or made inaccessible ever. Unless it's specifically to promote heinous actions IRL which should be caught to prevent its release. How much work is it to update old software just to run just as well on recent hardware and OSs? Then run scan the code with the best bug scanning programs and fix them?
The most common reason seems to be content licensed for use in the product with an expiration date that passed. I'd request that content be modified enough to avoid infringement and let the altered version release at the same time the original with licensed content expires and gets delisted.
I'm one of the players that still play Forza Horizon 4 and I'm gonna explain why.
I also own Forza Horizon 5 and I've played it 170hours now and I'm kinda running out of things to do that are fun. Something that these games are both great for is just to chill a bit and drive through the overworld or the expansions. And ngl, as much as I've complemented Forza Horizon 5 to not add streets for no reason to the streets counter like Forza Horizon 4 did with the amounts of Streetclusters everywhere, I prefer the variety of the map and I like that it's not so big. The map looks genuinely different everywhere unlike Forza Horizon 5, where there's a lot of emptiness and reused assets, despite having a bigger file size than Forza Horizon 4. The amount of times I've driven past the same building on different places of the map in Forza Horizon 5 kind of added to the boredom.
TL:DR: The Map is just plain better in terms of variety and size.
Another thing that weighted down the map were the season changes. While I hated the Winter in FH4 a lot, it also really added to the feeling and the direct comparison really made me like the game more, because I could get excited again when the spring came. FH5s Season system is really depressing. Barely anything changes, maybe there's some rain here and there or a sandstorm, but other than that it's always either night or sunny. If they would've removed the season system as a whole, this probably wouldn't have bothered me as much, FH3 is my favourite out of FH3, FH4 and FH5 after all and that one doesn't have a season system either.
TL:DR: The Seasons system in FH4 is just better.
Then the Handling. Forza Horizon 5s Handling is beautiful. It feels very snappy but very precise at the same time, similar to how FH3 felt, which is great. A big difference though is the grip on different surfaces and if you drive through breakable objects like some bushes or the guardrail. While almost everything in FH3 was solid like cement, in FH5 everything feels like butter, which sounds good but also isn't. Driving through little trees or bushes or even the guardrail without being slowed significantly at all fells like it's just too easy. The same goes for the grip changes. I don't like that you only need 2 wheels on the street to have full grip, I want it to be bumpy and to be slowed down when I get off the streets. FH4 is the perfect middleground between driving though butter or on Asphalt that is actually sand and Losing grip by just touching the offroad or driving into a cemented palmtree.
TL:DR: FH4 feels more challenging because of the grip and breakable objects based on how much grip you have and how much you get slowed.
And finally one of my biggest complaints, there's not enough Drivatars and NPCs driving though Forza Horizon 5. The Map feels dead, there's nothing in the way that you need to drive around, the game gives you so much space, that it's boring to play. The Highway in FH4 was already huge but you still needed to swerve to get arounds NPC Cars and stuff, but there are almost none in FH5. FH5s Highway is too big and there's not enough NPCs. I know, a lot of it comes from realism, because Mexicos streets aren't that loaded with cars, but I don't think this should be the realism that should be implemented. It should be fun, and it's boring. Forza Horizon 4 doesn't have this issue.
TL:DR: FH4 has more NPCs and makes it more fun to swerve around them while FH5 feels completely dead
BlackPanthaa, I really liked this video! I subscribed too!
also another mysterious thing is that forza horizon 4 is currently costs MORE to buy than FH5
I absolutely love how everyone shat on fh4 in like 2019, but now people love it so much
Good to see Theo revisiting Forza Horizon 4!!
@11:51 RIP ✝️ checkpoint missed
I play FH4 all the time maybe even more than 5. I play it on my ROG Ally and did a fresh playthrough when I got it so on top of still playing on my Xbox. I did a fresh start on Steam also. Something about it definitely keeps me going. The only thing I truly hate is that it dosent show which tires your car has in the garage. So you need to remember which ones you built for off-road and drift
The Crew Motorfest is a better FH5 than FH5. FH5 is so boring, meanwhile Motorfest just teaches you about different parts of car culture
At the end of the end I put more hours into FH4 compared to any Forza. And I pray we'll get season again in the next Forza Horizon. Every time it was winter I was having so much fun. The map looked gorgeous with the white snow reflecting all of the different colors throughout the day/night cycle.
I play Horizon 4 over 5 because the map is way batter along with the music and there are still loads of cars in the game that still never made it to FH5. I think you're underestimating how big Horizon 4 was I'm pretty sure it was the most sold exclusive game for the Xbox One
As A series s owner , FH4 takes up less storage than FH5. And delivers almost exact same performance and quality as FH5.
Plus I love the Map.
my fh4 multiplayer servers dont work any more and i cant use auction house or stuff like that
Bro fh5 is literally just empty soulless... Amd people online keep disappearing its literally an unfinished game.
Every time I see the main menu and hear the song, It brings me back to my childhood playing this game😭
The map is beautiful and the fact that you can still see many players romaning in the online service make me wanna play even more. Even if my fav forza will always be fh1. You can still find players online to this day
Anyone else remember the 200 wheelspins?
Gave me generational wealth 😂😂😂
No matter how bad the vehicle sounds are, and the lack of features, it is by far the most nostalgic and the forza game that has made me happiest over the years. and just something about the map that is just incredible
i just love all the builds you can make on forza 4 without it being restricted to what you can and cant upgrade, the driving expierence is awesome too
