Forza (Video Game)	comment	Forzanote Italian for "force" or "strength", pronounced with a t before the z (FORT-za), like pizza is a semi-simulation Racing Game franchise for the Xbox brand of consoles and later Windows published by Xbox Game Studios. Created by their internal Turn 10 Studios division as Forza Motorsport, which is aimed at competing with Sony Interactive Entertainment and Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo franchise, it is noted for an extensive car painting system, performance customization, and a massive car list. It is divided between two series; the original Forza Motorsport series by Turn 10, and the open world driving series Forza Horizon, developed by Playground Games with Turn 10's assistance and more targeted at those who prefer more casual racing games such as Electronic Arts' Need for Speed. Turn 10 also took a dip into the mobile market with Forza Street (2019â€“2022), a tap racer developed by Electric Square (initially as Miami Street) similar to the likes of Bandai Namco's Drift Spirits, but with some key differences such as corner-braking instead of drifting, and different dynamic camera angles. However, that spin-off wasn't well-regarded, and Turn 10 shuttered the game in 2022.Motorsport mainly revolves around closed-circuit race tracks in a wide variety of gorgeous environments for players to race at. Motorsport games have a career mode which has players going to various real and fictional tracks around the world to compete in race events, like in other traditional sim racers. Meanwhile, Horizon revolves around a fictitious annual music and racing festival, taking place in open-world maps that are fictionalized versions of real-world environments (except in certain expansions that loosen things up). Horizon games' career mode has players competing in various events around the festival to become the Horizon Festival Champion. Street was more story-oriented than the other two, revolving around an up-and-coming racer climbing the ranks of a racing organization called the "League", with the setting being established in Miami.Until 2019, the two main series were released biennially from their debuts; Motorsport entries in odd-numbered years and Horizon entries in even-numbered years.

Forza (Video Game) / int_120d0e3f	comment	The first game explicitly takes place in a specific year (2012, the year of the game's release). Also, it had the fake stars players had to beat in events to try to establish its fictional world. Later games would not mention any specific year and the "beat the stars" thing was dropped in favor of using Drivatars, which were first introduced in Motorsport 5, leaving only the DJs of the Horizon branded stations, the festival managers, and the festival's main mechanics as the only completely fictional characters to appear, which (with the exception of Horizon Bass Arena's DJ Scott Tyler [voiced by Ronan Summers] from the first Horizon and the aforementioned Amy Simpson from Horizon 2 onward, plus the real-life Chris Goss and Tony "London Elektricity" Colman (replaced by Degs in 5) for Hospital Records if you count them) have been different in every game so far. However, Horizon 4 has a multitude of characters again, but they're either working for the Horizon Festival or doing their own thing in Horizon Stories.

Forza (Video Game) / int_1305f045	comment	Vanity License Plate: Similar to the Bumper Sticker, it's very easy to create one. Horizon 3 adds actual rear license plates that can be customised. (On a side note, some cars in Horizon 3 have a New South Wales license plate that looks a lot like California's. The mentions of New South Wales are stripped from those plates in Horizon 4, however). These plates come in either US-Specnote Narrow plates, as used in most American and JDM cars or EU-Specnote Wider plates, as used in most European cars variants, but some cars (usually racing cars and all LEGO cars) have no license plate options available. Notable mentions are that James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 is the only drivable car with a front license plate, the Evo VIII can equip both license plate styles, and the VW ID R uses a vinyl as a license plate.

It didn't take long for players to abuse this system by hosting 24/7 streams of the game on Mixer to easily farm influence without playing the game.

Forza (Video Game) / int_1fe4ca78	comment	Appropriated Title: Originally called the Forza Motorsport series, it was officially renamed Forza to accompany the Horizon sister series, thus making each game a legitimate title and not a Spin-Off. However, despite the increasing popularity and establishment of the Horizon series (especially after the critically-lauded Forza Horizon 3 and 4), the Forza Motorsport games are still often referred to as "Forza [number of Motorsport title]" while the Forza Horizon games are shortened to "Horizon [number of such title]" and still get treated like a spin-off by several game journalists. Ironically, Horizon's popularity has eclipsed Motorsport, and saying Forza alone now evokes Horizon.

Good luck finding all 531 roads in Britain! Also in the Horizon games, there's finding all the bonus boards. This wasn't too bad in the first two games, but 3 ramps up the number of boards in obscure or tricky to reach locations, and 4 will push hard-to-reach boards even further out-of-reach.

Forza (Video Game) / int_24fbee90	comment	Broke the Rating Scale: This is the case for many of the cars with a rock-bottom Performance Index of 100, particularly the Peel 3-wheel microcars. Because they can't hit 100 mph, or possibly even 60 mph, they outright fail the simulations used to benchmark their PI. *This can be exploited by taking a car like one of the Peel's and upgrading it to be more driveable while making sure it can't possibly go above 100 mph. It'll still have a PI of 100, but drivatars in races will use unmodified Peels and other extremely low-end cars that you can easily trounce.

Forza (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9	type	Palette Swap
Forza (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9	comment	Palette Swap: Not as many as Gran Turismo, but still a fair few. Several examples: Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1 and the Peugeot 107. All the same apart from the front bumpers (although the Aygo does have a different rear end as well). Alternate market versions of the same car (e.g. Infiniti G35 and the Nissan Skyline 350GT, the Toyobaru twins). Besides badging and steering wheel position, and maybe some unique engine swaps, nothing else is different. A common complaint about the car list is how often several manufacturers will have the same race car with the same stats, but be classed as separate models because of the livery. Holden is the worst offender, with a few road cars and many race cars with identical performance factors and price, but different paint jobs. The player's character in Horizon 1 has the exact same animations as the driver in Motorsport 4, albeit while dressed in a neutral fashion rather than full racing attire. Forza Horizon featured the Ford SVT Raptor Halo edition in one of its DLC packages. It's a bog standard Ford SVT Raptor with Halo decals (The UNSC eagle logo) and a camouflage pattern - something which anyone can design on their own and apply to the standard car. It wasn't even the free DLC car, either. The NASCAR Expansion Pack for Motorsport 6 features precisely 3 cars - which are almost completely identical anyways outside of superficial bodywork - painted in a variety of colors. Some of the Hoonigan cars are palette swaps of other cars (mostly Fords), even between themselves. The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 share the same stats and even customization parts: the differences are OEM paint colours, engine swaps (in some games) and that the BRZ is LHD while the GT86 is RHD. Every LEGO car, sans the Mini and Porsche, is based on the original car, and shares the base stats. However, they have different upgrades: LEGO cars, for instance, don't allow Forza spoilers or different rims.

Forza (Video Game) / int_29f44d3a	comment	Horizon 4 has this with their Hard-To-Find cars: many weekly challenges, ranked adventure rewards or Forzathon Shop rotations allow you to get some cars (with one of them usually debuting) that can't be obtained in the autoshow, wheelspin, the Backstage or by leveling up in Horizon Life; after that week or seasonal rotation, you can't obtain it note Except with the time travel glitch, at the risk of a temporary ban. If you miss on a car, you only two hopes are that Playground let you win the car again soon, or the Auction House, where the rarer the car, the more expensive it is to get. Oh, and the list of HtF keeps growing each month since the game's launch, so it means that more than 100 cars are on rotation!

Forza (Video Game) / int_2a333642	type	V8 Engine Noises
Forza (Video Game) / int_2a333642	comment	V8 Engine Noises: Apparent in both Horizon 3, Motorsport 7, and Horizon 4, due to sound recycling between similar engines as individual engines no longer have individual recordings. Horizon 3 assumes that the 2014 Nissan GT-R GT500 car has a V6 engine like the GT3 car, even though the car actually has an inline-4, due to Super GT changing its regulations prior to the 2014 season mandating the use of such an engine for all entries for the GT500 classnote This is to bring it in line with the German DTM series, which ALSO had a rule change in 2014 mandating the use of turbocharged inline-4 engines, with both of these changes having been done as part of the creation of the second-generation "Class One" touring car class, with both Super GT (For its GT500 class) and DTM fielding these cars in 2019, though DTM abandoned this scheme in favor of GT3-class cars in 2021, while Super GT is expected to end the use of Class One-spec cars after the end of the 2023 season. The initial demos and E3 builds for Motorsport 7 make the same mistake, but the later demos and the final release product rectify this mistake. One particular trailer for Motorsport 6, specifically the one showing the 2017 Ford GT driving through various classic racing games, has the car emit a V8 engine note, even though it's powered by a twin-turbo V6. Forza Street makes the same mistake as well. On a similar note, the Ford SVT Raptor of the same model year in Horizon 3, also emits a V8 engine note despite being powered by a twin-turbo V6. All the returning Toyota models in Horizon 4 are guilty of this trope. With 5 exceptionsnote Toyota Supra MkIV, Lexus LFA, Toyota Celica GT-Four RC ST185, Corolla SR5, and Celica GT, each of the returning Toyotas use an engine soundbank from a vehicle that already exists in the gamenote the 2000GT shares its sounds with the Jaguar E-Type, the Celica GT-FOUR shares its sounds with the 2018 Civic Type R.. The exceptions simply re-use their engine soundbank from their previous Horizon appearance, though the LFA's bank gets a couple of touch-ups here and there and the Supra MkIV uses its own soundbank. The Mercedes-AMG GT R Black Series and the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 both reuse the sound from a lower-trim model (The GT R for the former, and the E-Ray for the latter), even though both cars' respective engines has a major change to its internals, namely the use of a flat-plane crankshaft as a opposed to a cross-plane crankshaft. The former should, realistically speaking, sound closer to a turbocharged McLaren V8 engine, while the latter should sound more like a naturally-aspirated Ferrari V8.

Forza (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Forza (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: SUVs and pickup trucks. They can toss other cars around like toys, but they're so heavy and top heavy that they tend to plow through corners. Pickups are basically death traps online in Motorsport 3, as they're very light in the back, rear wheel driven, and it's very easy for other players to accidentally or purposely hit it, and cause it to spin out, though the problem is less noticeable in Motorsport 4 because of the better collision system. Small light cars such as hatchbacks are this in the Horizon games. They can squeeze through tight spaces and grip through corners with ease. However, they tend to have a poor top speed, and the courses in Horizon games are more straight and less technical than in Motorsport games. In addition, their light weight means that they get bumped around by rammers in multiplayer. The SSC Ultimate Aero is one of the fastest cars in the world (in a straight line), with 1200 horsepower and torque. Its top speed is higher than the Veyron - but it's rear wheel drive, not all wheel drive. What this essentially means is that you get wheelspin well into fourth gear, making the car nearly undrivable without traction control enabled. The downloadable Hennessey Venom GT manages to trump the SSC by having the same horsepower with slightly less torque, but having a much lighter body, meaning even traction control doesn't help. The maxed-out Mosler MT-900 has a similar problem without traction control. (Though it has so much torque that it still works well on speed trap challenges since it can be left in 5th gear and driven up to speed). However it has a trump card in that it can be fitted with drag racing tyres which tame the wheelspin very effectively. 4WD conversions can make 1000+ hp cars that are a handful in RWD - such as the TVR Speed 12 - into unlikely but very fast dirt trackers, but then leave the handling with boat-like understeer on circuit races. And the top speed is cut drastically. Any overpowered RWD car can easily go from a dominating car in a lower class to an oversteering handful that doesn't stand a chance in a higher class. Especially in the wet. Cowl hood scoops and air scoops in Motorsport 4. They look badass, and reduce weight (being made from lighter materials than steel), but they severely restrict interior vision - the king of these being the cowl available on the 2002 Trans-Am, which blocks all of your vision in the cockpit view, as the cowl is pretty much right at eye level◊. The most notable example of this is the Hot Wheels Twin Mill in Horizon 3, which has two air scoops, one of which is directly in front of the driver's seat. In other words, it is a perfect demonstration of why it was designed as a toy first and a functional vehicle second. The Lotus Esprit V8 has a similar issue; adding a roll cage blocks half the windscreen so you can only see the bottom half of the road. The AMG Transport Dynamics M12S CST Warthog, available in Forza Horizon 3 for those who played Halo: The Master Chief Collection or Halo 5: Guardians. Essentially a civilian Warthog (which means it lacks the military version's 4-wheel steering), it is fast and relatively nimble for its size (it weights 5070 lbs), but unfortunately cannot be upgraded to boost its performance or shed weight (it can accept different sized rims and can fit snow tires though). The 6-speed transmission suffers from strangely short gearing; it will accelerate and a gear change is almost immediately necessary at around 5500 RPM, and the redline is lower than most off-road trucks at 8000 RPM. The M12 CST tops out at around 119 mph, meaning it is ill-suited for races with higher speed vehicles, and is also wider and heavier than most vehicles (though this also means it can push most out of its way). However, it excels at off-road racing in Blizzard Mountain; its high ground clearance, relatively nimble handling and massive tires coupled with a healthy amount of torque means it has no trouble bounding up slopes and across snow-covered plains.

This leads to a little Fridge Logic during 3's Midnight Battle races as you can show up to a race driving an S2 car and your opponent's car will scale to yours but when you actually win the car from the race and turns up in your garage, you'll see it was actually a B-spec vehicle.

Forza (Video Game) / int_33864ee8	type	Collection Sidequest
Forza (Video Game) / int_33864ee8	comment	Collection Sidequest: The Horizon games have two broad types of collectibles in their open worlds: Bonus Boards and PR Stunts. Bonus Boards are advertising boards that can be smashed for a permanent benefit. The first game had these give a 1% discount on vehicle upgrades, with the upgrades becoming free once you've found all 100. Later games feature a mix of XP boards (which grant a one-time chunk of XP upon being broken) and Fast Travel boards (which reduce the cost of fast travel by 2% per board, with fast travel becoming free upon finding all fifty). PR Stunts are mini-challenges scattered around the world that you can complete, with a par score to try and beat for each. The first game had two kinds: Speed Traps (which record your top speed passing through them) and Speed Zones (which track your average speed between two points on the road). Horizon 3 added Drift Zones (score points for drifting between two points, with more points being awarded for higher speeds and sharper drifts) and Danger Signs (ramp jumps that record how far you can fly) to the mix, while Horizon 4: Fortune Island introduced Trailblazers (which challenge you to reach a destination as fast as you can, often off-road).

Forza (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	type	Game-Breaking Bug
Forza (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	comment	Game-Breaking Bug: Motorsport 4: This game had a bug in the online multiplayer where players may hang up on the loading screen - sometimes up to five minutes, until the game boots them out to the lobby or pukes up a "disc is dirty" error. When this happens, the entire lobby gets stuck in the loading screen until the person causing the delay gets booted out by the game. This was patched in the March 23rd update, but it also introduced a bug that occurs if your car's decals are not visible in a race, which results in your Xbox crashing to the dashboard when you return to the lobby. How often it happens varies by player, from every other race (rendering the game effectively unplayable) to every dozen or so races. However, the bug only seems to occur in the public matchmaking lobbies - private or user-created lobbies don't seem to cause the bug. Horizon 4: The LEGO DLC's brick tracking has a very nasty tendency to break. When this happens, whenever the player meets their current brick milestone for a new addition for their home in LEGO Valley, the event where said addition is added to their home never triggers, preventing them from progressing through the DLC. Between January and August of 2021, one of the Story Star Card challenges, The Magnate (This challenge is progressed via earnings from the player's businesses), stopped tracking income from the player's businesses. It is one of four challenges that must be completed in order to become a Story Superstar, the reward for which is the Ferrari 812 Superfast, a rare hypercar that, prior to the Star Card feature, was available exactly once, from the Forzathon shop during the second week of the game's release for 100 Forzathon points. Any player who didn't complete that challenge before the tracking on it broke were unable to obtain the 812 except via the Auction House. The inability to complete the Story Star Card also locked the player out of obtaining the Forza Edition of the Ford Capri RS3100, which is awarded to the player by completing all the star cards, and like the 812, was previously available exactly once, being released by accident onto the Forzathon shop some time in Series 7 for a very brief period of time. This bug was finally fixed as of the Series 39 Update in late-August of the same year. The Toyota 2000GT's return to the franchise as part of the Series 18 update would cause issues with players and expose flaws in the auto-mod bot used by Turn 10's Code of Conduct Enforcement team. Any players that, prior to Series 18's winter season when the car could be obtained, imported their liveries from earlier Xbox One titles that featured this car using the game's own livery importer function found themselves slapped with a suspension for "time-travelling", as the auto-mod bot was working under the false premise that the liveries were made within Horizon 4 by illegitimately obtaining the car early. All these suspensions were quickly reverted, but due to the suspensions being of the kind that barred the player from accessing or creating User-Generated Content, any player that received this erroneous suspension had their ENTIRE Creative Hub wiped clean. When the Winter Season came, players who, within the first few hours of the season, achieved the 50% season completion necessary to obtain the car also found themselves getting smacked by the bot, and for the same erroneous reason as well ("Time-travelling"). Starting from Series 47, completing the Series' monthly Rivals event does NOT award the player with the 6% progress for the Festival Playlist, making it impossible to 100% a Series from that Series on, which in turns prevents the "Encore!" achievement note Get 100% completion on a Series from being obtained by any player that either hadn't obtained it in prior Series, or any players that started playing in Series 47. Worse yet, this issue has been placed under the "Won't Fix / By Design" section of the Forza Horizon 4 known issues page on the Forza support website, meaning the achievement has been rendered absolutely unobtainable as a result. Playing the PC version with an installed Nvidia Game Ready driver later than 522.25 can result in crashes occuring after 20 minutes since booting up the game. This only happens after playing for several hours beforehand.

Forza (Video Game) / int_347fef9a	comment	One of the complaints a few reviewers had about early titles in the series was that some of the cars did not sound like they would in real life. However, those cars sound exactly like they do in real-life. The audio engineers even went and sampled the individual components of those cars' engines on electric motors so they could fine tune individual engine noises as players modified their vehicles. However, this is not necessarily how those vehicles sound in Hollywood films.

Forza (Video Game) / int_36249acd	type	Lethal Joke Character
Forza (Video Game) / int_36249acd	comment	Lethal Joke Character: The city cars are ridiculously fast when upgraded, and handle very well. The car dominating the lower-class leaderboards in Forza Motorsport 4? The Chevrolet Spark. In the right hands, the Hummer H1 Alpha. It may be slower than the other cars, but being twice as wide makes it impossible to pass. The Chryslus Rocket 69 for Forza Motorsport 6. Abysmal braking, acceleration, and handling, but on a straightaway it can reach speeds of 260 miles per hour. 6's July DLC has a Mercedes-Benz racing truck. Despite appearances, it handles well and can be pretty fast in its class, and its large size can be an advantage when going up against smaller vehicles. The Peel P50 (and its DLC-only brethren, the Peel Trident) in Horizon 4 has a selection of car mastery perks that enables its skill multiplier to go up to 8 without a skill song in play. Only the Peels have this perk - even Forza Edition cars, which are made for faster skill point accumulation, can only have skill multiplier boosts that increase their maximum multiplier either to 6 or 7. This potentially makes the Peels the fastest way to farm batches of 10 skill points, needing 62,500 points at 8x multiplier to top out. Of course, you still have to contend with the car's unique physics resulting from its odd design. The Morgan 3-wheeler might look ridiculous, but a seasonal challenge requires you to use it to complete it, as, if tuned well, can succeed in drifting (even better than most JDM) and racing! Horizon 5 allows players to drive BMW Isetta - a tiny 12 HP car made after World War II. When it's fully tuned, however, it can go as far as to beat far faster vehicles such as Hennessey Venom F5 in a full-mile drag race!

In Horizon 3 you are in charge of the Horizon festival, rather than being a participant like in the last two games, and the expansions take you to a snow-covered region and a set of islands with Hot Wheels tracks built all over them. Horizon 4 makes you a rookie once more, but now the game is all about the Horizon Life, introducing seasons, character customization, and purchasable properties. Horizon 5 picks up from where you left off in 4 but now also includes expeditions, a further fleshed-out creator suite and a much more hectic game world with regional weather conditions and more multiplayer events.

Forza (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b	comment	Unintentionally Unwinnable: When the ''Lego Speed Champions" DLC was initially released, players could auction off or even delete the Lego cars from their garage, even though there is a Brick Challenge associated with each car, and are thus required to complete them. To prevent players from locking themselves out of completing all the brick challenges, all the Lego blacklisted from the auction house and the option to delete the cars from the garage was also removed. Any players that did not re-obtain the cars they had sold off or deleted prior to this update will need to open a ticket with support and request the cars they are missing. Going to Lego Valley or Fortune Island in Horizon 4 inexplicably removes the completion mark from the weekly photo challenge in the Seasonal Playlist if you already completed it. If you're outside Great Britain when the season rolls over the incomplete status stays, locking you out of 100% for that season (and thus making the entire monthlong series impossible to 100%) even if you already got up to 100% before leaving the mainland. While the Horizon games from 2 and onward let you enable fuel consumption, tire wear, and simulation damage in the difficulty settings, none of the races are designed with that in mind, meaning ones that involve large jumps and/or crashing through large amounts of destructibles and street furniture can damage the engine enough to slow you down significantly while the AI drivers can speed ahead of you unfazed. One notable example is The Goliath in Horizon 5, which is so long that you're guaranteed to run out of fuel partway through the race.

Its large size and heavy weight also make it very easy to drift in and give it an advantage during races that are primarily downhill.

Forza (Video Game) / int_43bda213	comment	A Taste of Power: Played straight since Motorsport 3, usually with the car featured on the respective game's cover art. Motorsport 3 begins with a practice race in an Audi R8, then makes you pick from a selection of sub-compacts. Motorsport 4 starts with a practice race ("A celebration of speed") in a Ferrari 458 Italia, and makes you pick from a selection of city cars. Horizon starts you off in a Viper, engaged in an impromptu street race with Darius Flynt in his Ferrari 599XX. However, the game switches over to your actual character and car once you reach a certain point. That said, the car in question (a VW Corrado VR6) is actually fairly decent, and modified to the top of its class right from the start. Motorsport 5 starts off with a race through the streets of Prague in a McLaren P1, and then has you pick from a selection of modern sport-compacts (which includes the BMW 1M Coupe and the Hyundai Genesis 3.8). Horizon 2 starts you off in the Lamborghini Huracan, in a short drive from the ferry dock to the Horizon festival's main venue, alongside similar exotics. You then get to choose between 3 mid-level sports cars. The Fast & Furious standalone expansion starts out similarly, using the same car to get to Tej's garage in Nice. Motorsport 6 begins with a race in the streets of Rio de Janeiro in the 2017 Ford GT and then has you choose from a selection of lower-tier Japanese tuner cars. Horizon 3 takes this up to eleven. You start off in a Lamborghini Centenario, before switching to a Baldwin Trophy Truck, before doing a showcase event in a Penhall Cholla, before going back to the Centenario again, before finally giving you a choice between high-performance starter cars. Motorsport 7 breaks the trend a bit by taking the player to the main menu first (something that hasn't been done since Motorsport 2), allowing them to customize gameplay/audio/visual/control settings first. The introductory races don't start until they select the "Forza Drivers' Cup", where they will be thrown into 3 consecutive races; the first is with the Porsche 911 GT2 RS in the outskirts of Dubai, the second in a Mercedes-Benz race truck at Mugello, while the third is in the rain with a Nissan GT-R GT500 at Suzuka. Afterwards, they are given a choice of several championships, with their first car being a freebie. Horizon 4 starts you off in a series of events as it introduces you to its new seasons aspect. The game begins in autumn with you driving up to a waterfall in a McLaren Senna. It then transitions to winter, putting you in RJ Anderson's Pro 2 trophy truck, racing other trophy trucks on the now-frozen surface of Derwentwater. Next is spring with you competing against dirt bikes in a GRC Ford Fiesta. Finally, it becomes summer as you are put back into the Senna, racing through villages on your way to the Horizon Festival. The driver is then revealed to be Keira Harrison from Horizon 3, who then asks for the player character, after which you pick your avatar. After all this, you are given a choice of three slower cars to pick as your starter. FH4 also does this with DLC. The LEGO Speed Champions expansion starts you off with a LEGO version of the aforementioned Senna, then transitions you to a LEGO Mini Cooper that you will use as your starter car. Horizon 5 again hands you four different cars to briefly play with during the intro. First, you take a 2021 Ford Bronco from the caldera, down the volcano, to a Baja dirt circuit. Next, you'll jump into a 2020 Corvette Stingray equipped with the Streetfighter LA bodykit, tearing up the roads in the lowlands before driving head-on into a dust storm. Moving on, you'll get to tear up the jungle in the Porsche 911 Desert Flyer before arriving at a lagoon populated by flamingoes and the Ekâ€™ Balam Mayan ruins, before getting behind the wheel of the Mercedes-AMG Project One as you race across the desert roads towards the festival. You'll finally get shown three cars to start with, but there's a twist: Not only are two of the three cars (Vette, Bronco, GR Supra) ones that you drove earlier during the intro, but you'll actually get ALL THREE of these cars as starters. The only choice you're making is just which of the three cars you'll be spending the first few events of your Horizon career in.

Forza (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9	type	Early-Installment Weirdness
Forza (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Motorsport: This game featured point-to-point tracks, which stand out as future Motorsport games stick exclusively to circuits (with the sole exception of drag strips). The game features a noticeably higher number of original tracks as opposed to real-world ones. In-particular, it features 'Blue Mountains', which is a generic recreation of the real-world Mount Panorama Circuit. Each Performance Index tier is divided into sub-tiers. This was necessary because you couldn't actually see the exact PI value of a car in the first game, making it a lot more difficult to tell when you've maximised the performance of a car within a specific threshold. The first two games had a penalty system in which way it adds additional time to your lap for colliding with opponents and barriers or leaving the track. This feature was removed starting with 3. Horizon: The biggest difference is that car performance indexes are mandatory in Horizon and not so in the other games (the sequels let you bring a car of any PI to a race and the opponent cars will match your PI). Horizon 3: Hot Wheels did bring back the mandatory performance indexes, however, although it will still scale the PI of other racers to match. The same goes for the Seasonal Championships in Horizon 4 and Horizon 5, which also restricts players to certain cars or car types. The second-biggest difference is the prevalence of sponsors for the game's events. All the sequels drop event sponsors. The festival's design theming had a more Design Student's Orgasm feel compared to later installments, which have a more polished, professional feel. The pause menu is just a list of options, unlike the tabbed tile-based menus of the sequels. The game's version of Colorado is 100% fictitious; the locations are inspired by those found in the real Colorado, including a Red Rocks Park-inspired area, but are not in the real state. All the later installments incorporate some condensed versions of real locations in their maps, only leaving the expansions' maps fully fictional. Additionally, the first game is the only installment to take place in the United States; Playground Games have since deliberately avoided using the U.S. for their game worlds as they believe that America has been over-represented in open-world games, with Horizon 5 being the closest to returning to the U.S. since that game takes place in Mexico. Multiplayer was a separate game mode that even used lobbies. Each sequel increasingly integrated the multiplayer into the game world, culminating with the Horizon Life system of Horizon 4 onward. There is no Skill Shop, with the stunt points earned instead contributing to a "popularity rating" that starts at 150 as you try to reach number 1. There are no "Bucket List" challenges, instead of having "PR Stunts" (not to be confused with the PR Stunts of later entries) which are similar in purpose (giving you a chance to drive a preset car in order to accomplish a specific goal) but more formulaic and tied to outposts rather than scattered around the map. Also, the 1000 Club expansion gave each and every single car in the game optional tasks to accomplish, giving players a motivation to try driving every car the game has to offer, something that the sequels don't do enough of, really. There are no Wheelspins, street races are more organized than they are in the sequels, and the festival itself has a more cohesive and structured feel compared to the following games (which go for a looser and more ad-hoc feel to racing). The map itself has significantly fewer off-roading areas compared to future games. (Although the 360 versions of Horizon 2 and its Fast & Furious standalone expansions also have few off-roading areas, this is more due to the technical limitations of the 360.) Horizon Bass Arena is represented with a blue logo, while Horizon Pulse is green. Future games inverted that. There are also no record label stations (especially Hospital Records Radio, which has been in every sequel so far) or classical stations. Amy Simpson (voiced by actress Susannah Fielding) is also not the DJ of Horizon Pulse; the DJ for that station was initially Holly Cruz (voiced by Alix Wilton Regan) instead. The first game explicitly takes place in a specific year (2012, the year of the game's release). Also, it had the fake stars players had to beat in events to try to establish its fictional world. Later games would not mention any specific year and the "beat the stars" thing was dropped in favor of using Drivatars, which were first introduced in Motorsport 5, leaving only the DJs of the Horizon branded stations, the festival managers, and the festival's main mechanics as the only completely fictional characters to appear, which (with the exception of Horizon Bass Arena's DJ Scott Tyler [voiced by Ronan Summers] from the first Horizon and the aforementioned Amy Simpson from Horizon 2 onward, plus the real-life Chris Goss and Tony "London Elektricity" Colman (replaced by Degs in 5) for Hospital Records if you count them) have been different in every game so far. However, Horizon 4 has a multitude of characters again, but they're either working for the Horizon Festival or doing their own thing in Horizon Stories. Fast Travel Anywhere was a paid feature, costing tokens. The sequels made it available to everyone when they earn enough skill points (2, 3) or purchase a specific house (4, 5). There were no map expansions for the first Horizon. Instead, there were a pay-for Rally expansion (which features its own events separate from the main Horizon Festival) and the free side-activity-loaded 1000 Club. Horizon 2 had one map expansion in Storm Island (the other expansion was essentially a glorified Porsche car pack), while Horizon 3 and 4 each feature two map expansions in a special expansion pass. Upgrades could be discounted or even made completely free if one dedicated themselves to smashing all 100 discount boards across the map. The sequels had the bonus boards give out XP ("Influence" in Horizon 4) rewards and fast travel cost discounts (the latter also allowing for free fast travel if all such boards on the map were found), but only Horizon 2: Storm Island maintained the bonus boards for upgrade discounts (and even then they only went up to 50% off). Horizon 3 made free upgrades a renewable skill perk, but otherwise does not ever allow for permanent upgrade discounts. Horizon 4 completely dropped the concept of free or discounted upgrades altogether.note Although the game's overly-generous amounts of Wheelspins make all that redundant. The first Horizon had only one main Horizon Festival and several small festival outposts. Horizon 2 had the main festival and six smaller festival sites, but the smaller sites were made to be mini-festivals instead of the first game's single-tent outposts (and even then, players hardly spent their time at the main festival). Horizon 3 had four festival sites happening at once, and all of them were treated as main festivals, although the original at Byron Bay is given a slightly higher prominence since it's the first site in the game and the expansions return players to that one. However, Horizon 4 reverses this trend and has a back-to-basics approach to festivals, with only one main festival again and the new houses feature serving the same functions as the outposts and mini-festivals of the first two games. Then after that, Horizon 5 brought back the multiple unlockable festival sites while still keeping the houses. Several Showcase Events in the first game pit the player against non-playable vehicles in basic 1-on-1 races, or a full-grid one-make race against standard vehicles (eg. Manic Mini), both of which are always run on the same routes and circuits as the regular wristband events. Starting with 2, the Showcase Events are always races against non-playable vehicles like planes, motorbikes, or hot air balloons, and are run on custom-made routes that are not used in regular races. Also, winning a showcase in 1 would also award the player with the car used in said showcase. In 2 only the first showcase would award the player with the showcase car (due to it being required for the plot, and the car appearing in the following cutscene as the convoy prepares to depart for Nice), as none of the remaining showcases, nor any showcase in 3 or 4 will reward the player with the car used. The first Horizon was the first and only game in the series to be rated Teen by the ESRB (for Drug References, Language, Suggestive Themes). Each subsequent installment has further and further moved away from invoking inappropriate content; Horizon 2 was rated Everyone 10 and Up (Mild Lyrics, Mild Suggestive Themes, and Mild Violence), Horizon 3 was the first to be rated Everyone but still had descriptors (Mild Lyrics and Mild Violence), and Horizon 4 and 5 both were rated Everyone without any descriptors (although the former got an update to censor more lyrics from songs and remove a couple songs that Playground Games deemed too inappropriate for the rating, much to some fans' chagrin). Real-world companies, several of which are not car companies or car part manufacturers, sponsored the racing events of the Horizon Festival in Colorado. All the sequels cut those out, to the point that billboards feature only fake companies or products; the Product Placement is now only restricted to certain cars added in crossovers with non-Microsoft games, including the Quartz Regalia from Final Fantasy XV and the Quadra Turbo-R V-TECH from Cyberpunk 2077.

Forza (Video Game) / int_549cd62d	comment	Level Grinding: Getting money in Forza Motorsport 3 was a relatively slow affair, upgrades were expensive, and the player had no choice in what the level-up cars were, forcing them to spend credits to buy them. However, Motorsport 4 inverts it, by dumping tons of free cars onto the player (already upgraded, too!) up to level 50, and after that, dumping six-figure credit rewards on the player every time they level up, up to level 150. Additionally, many cars in Motorsport 4 are cheaper than Motorsport 3, such as the Ferrari 250 GTO being a mere ten million credits, rather than twenty million. Furthermore, in Motorsport 4 you don't earn levels for individual cars anymore by racing with/in them, but for whole manufacturers. These "Affinity Levels" grant you massive discounts on upgrades, starting with 25% on the first level and going to 100% at the fourth Affinity Level. This means that except for third-party items like aerodynamic parts, rims, and tires, as well as new engines from other cars of that manufacturer, all upgrades are free. And on top of that, you earn additional cash for increasing a manufacturer's Affinity Level, which doesn't seem to be capped.

Forza (Video Game) / int_56df9ba7	comment	Easier Than Easy: All the games (but Motorsport 3 in particular) have plenty of ways to make things easier on yourself. You're encouraged to crank up the difficulty and turn off the driver aids, though: the harder the difficulty is, the more money you earn. Many driver aids also slow you down, compared to driving without them. Horizon 5 takes this to the logical conclusion with a Tourist difficulty setting for Drivatars, an "Easier than Easier than Easy" difficulty setting meant for young children and players who are complete beginners to racing games, where Drivatars actively slow down when they're ahead so you can easily catch up. In Motorsport 4, once the player reaches affinity level 4 for a manufacturer, they get all upgrades, bar rims, and body kits, for free. Couple this with getting a new free car—which is already upgraded to the top of its car class—every time you level up your driver, means you can save ridiculous amounts of money fairly early into the game. Also, if you've played past Forza titles extensively and redeemed the weekly rewards, your credit amount will raise even further.

On the Xbox controller, you'll have to hold down the LB button while shifting up or down. On expensive racing wheels (like the Fanatec CSR), this mode will make you use the clutch pedal and the 6-speed H-pattern shifter. Poor shifting will result in near-stalls, engine damage (shifting into first gear at 200mph, for example), or engine lugging. If you don't use the clutch when starting from a standstill (such as at the start or after a wreck), the engine will repeatedly stall, resulting in a painfully slow start, especially in cars with huge turbochargers or tall gearing.

If you want to get a certain car immediately, you can either A) wait until the next opportunity to unlock that car, or B) hope that someone decides to sell that car through the Auction House... and that you'll be able to afford it. A straight example in Horizon 5's gift drop mechanic, which lets people gift cars to random players. Series 2 (in other words, Christmas) plays with this mechanic to encourage everyone to gift cars to each other: once the game's community gifts a certain amount of cars, everyone will get a Santa suit and a Peel P50. This would be repeated with Series 28 (Also Christmas), only everyone got an Aston Martin Valkyrie instead.

The cars particularly encourage you to participate in these events as much as possible as once the event ends you either have to get it through the Auction House or hope it turns up again during another Forzathon. Occasionally these are also held in smaller timeframes during the week as well so you're encouraged to sign on regularly. Horizon 4 expands on the Forzathon concept, introducing daily and hourly tasks along with bringing the weeklies back. Exclusive cars, however, appear on a weekly basis instead of just the weekends, and the obtainable cars per week are rotating, so if you lose the chance of obtaining a car, you'll have more opportunities in the future.

On Unbeatable, turning on the telemetry for an AI car will occasionally show them making way more power than is legally allowed by the division's Homologation rules, so if you're wondering just how the AI is out-dragging and out-running you on the straights, blame this cheaty measure. In races with fuel consumption and tire wear, the AI NEVER NEEDS TO PIT. Their cars will be magically and automatically have their tanks topped up and tires changed while they're racing. During Free Races against the AI, some cars will somehow make more power than stock even when tuning/upgrades are prohibited, as demonstrated in this video, whereof all the AI cars that were actually racing (of the six AI cars, two of them were glitched out and went nowhere), two of them adhered to the prohibition and had stock power/torque figures, while the other two were, despite the tuning/upgrade prohibition, making multiple times the amount of power they had stock, though it is hilarious watching these rule-breaking cars struggle to slow down or even turn properly.

Forza (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9	comment	Marathon Level: Endurance races in Motorsport 3 lasted around an hour to two hours. The events were removed from the career in Motorsport 4, though it's possible to create a custom online race lobby for an endurance race, up to fifty laps (be it on the one-mile long Ladera test track or on the ten-mile long NÃ¼rburgring). A special event to win a Unicorn car in Motorsport 4 had players join a multiplayer lobby on the Le Mans track in Le Mans Prototype cars, and then required them to do 360 laps. In an online race. note Considering the track's current (real life) lap record of 3:17:475, the race would take 19 hours, 44 minutes and 51 seconds to be finished. But since most players aren't professional racers, let alone recordist professional racers, the race could easily become a literal 24 Hours of Le Mans. The final race in the Xbox One version of Horizon 2 takes place in a circuit which circumnavigates the entire map, with the Festival's main hub as start/finish location. It takes around 20 minutes to finish. The "Goliath Circuit" (which opens up when you max out the Byron Bay festival) serves a similar purpose for 3 (though, thanks to the blueprinting function, if you're nuts enough you can add laps to it) and bag several hundred thousand dollars, enough skill points for a free tune on your next ride, and a wheelspin or six for further riches and cars for the auction house. Horizon 4 has four mini-Goliath style point-to-point races for each of the four primary racing disciplines; the Colossus for the Road Racing Series, the Titan for the Cross Country Series, the Gauntlet for the Dirt Racing Series and the Marathon for the Street Scene. Once again, the true "Goliath Circuit" makes a return and is unlocked at Round 20 of the Road Racing Series. Fortune Island adds two other Goliath-esque circuit races in form of the Kraken for the Road Racing Series and the Leviathan for the Dirt Racing Series. Horizon 5 brings back the disciple specific events from 4 alongside the Golliath, and introduces a new event, "The Juggernaut", which is unique for being an extra-long Trailblazer PR Stunt rather than a formal event. The December update for Motorsport 7 takes this to ridiculous levels with the ability for players to lengthen any race up to 1000 laps or a full 24 hours!

Forza (Video Game) / int_6e0898f9	comment	Silliness Switch: The second expansions of Horizon 3 and Horizon 4. The Hot Wheels expansion for Horizon 3. The main draw of the DLC is a Joke Level which brings on an Unexpected Gameplay Change - driving on Hot Wheels tracks is more akin to Trackmania or the Grand Theft Auto Online stunt races. Vehicle customization to min max top speed and horsepower because of the long straights and lack of traffic is heavily encouraged, and the Hot Wheels vehicles serve as Joke Characters that can be brought back into the main game. Where it really gets silly is how the presence of Thrilltopia changes the behavior of your team and radio announcers, who have always been fond of lampshades, snark and quirky behavior, but the fantastical premise of the DLC takes all of these traits into seventh gear and turns the Horizon Festival into an affectionate World of Snark. The LEGO Speed Champions expansion in Horizon 4 continues this trend, taking place in a valley filled with Lego bricks, pieces, minifigures, animals, and structures, features Lego versions of three real life cars, and adds new radio station dedicated solely to playing one infamously catchy song.

Forza (Video Game) / int_762d730c	comment	Level Editor: Horizon 3's "Blueprint", while not being a fully straight example, is the game's meat and potatoes, as it lets people create their own races, championships, and Bucket List events to play and share with their Xbox Live friends. The Hot Wheels expansion features a Stunt Swap option where players can modify certain pieces of the track from a set selection of stunt options (ranging from loops, crossovers, jumps, and ditches, among others). Horizon 4, which also has the Blueprint feature, introduces a proper route editor: players are able to create their own circuit and point-to-point races up driving around the map, placing checkpoints, and (for point-to-point sprints) a finish line along the way. They can choose the season they're set in and share the finished product with other players. The only limitations are that the starting position must be those of Road Racing Series, Dirt Racing Series, or Cross Country Series events, tracks cannot be any longer than forty miles, players can't place setpieces like barriers, ramps, or spectator spots, and all user-created tracks must be test-driven from start to finish first before they can be published. Horizon 4's Super7 update added the Blueprint Builder, which combines with the route editor and adds the ability to place custom props and scenery and which way you like, allowing for much crazier custom games. It's only limited for the time-trial esque Super7 games and not for racing, though. Horizon 5 expands the feature with EventLab, which, apart from finally allowing the player add objects like barriers and ramps to player-made racing events, also allows for creation of custom game modes.

Forza (Video Game) / int_85557b38	comment	Reality Is Unrealistic: One of the complaints a few reviewers had about early titles in the series was that some of the cars did not sound like they would in real life. However, those cars sound exactly like they do in real-life. The audio engineers even went and sampled the individual components of those cars' engines on electric motors so they could fine tune individual engine noises as players modified their vehicles. However, this is not necessarily how those vehicles sound in Hollywood films. Every game allows racing front splitters and wings to installed to most cars, regardless of how rare and/or unlikely the car would be. In most games, the prices of the cars don't seemingly match their performance. This is because Forza prices each car based on its real-life value, not its raw performance. Hence why many classics that are statistically nothing special have huge price tags - in reality the Mercedes 300SLR, Auto Union D-Type, or the Ferrari 250 series are worth millions.

Forza (Video Game) / int_87ce64a0	comment	Old Save Bonus: The Forza Rewards system was this. From Forza Motorsport 3 until Forza Horizon 4 each game rewarded players with cars and weekly bonus credits depending on what previous games they've playednote Progress was tracked from all Forza games except the first Forza Motorsport on Xbox, Forza Motorsport 2 (outside of earned gamerscore), and the Xbox 360 versions of Horizon 2 and the Fast & Furious standalone expansion. and how much they've completed them. Players claimed their Forza Rewards weekly on ForzaMotorsport.net (today Forza.net) or the Forza Hub app. This system was discontinued for Forza Horizon 5 and beyond, and fully disabled on May 5, 2022. Forza Horizon 5 has a more standard set of rewards, in the form of starting the game with the cover art cars from each Xbox Live-powered Forza game you've played. It can also inherit a nickname from a Horizon 4 profile, skipping that step in character creation.

The Horizon maps are enclosed by bodies of water and steep hills, things that could maybe be passed using an offroader were it not for the fact that those hills have zero friction, making them next to impossible to climb.

You can of course, turn them into insane drag racers because of Forza's huge customization, though. Most DLC packs usually include one or two. The May DLC for Motorsport 4 has a Smart ForTwo, a Ford Transit vannote It's the racing version, but it's still a delivery van, and the AMC Pacer X. The June DLC featured the Aston Martin Cygnet. For those unaware, it's a 1.0 litre, front wheel drive Toyota iQ with Aston Martin's signature features on both the outside and interior. The September DLC had the GMC Vandura. The Fast & Furious car pack in Motorsport 6 featured the humongous Terradyne Gurkha LAPV, which is Agent Luke Hobbs's car in Fast Five. It's the heaviest car in the entire franchise, with a listed curb weight of 16,499 pounds, or more than twice that of the former heaviest, the Hummer. Motorsport 6's October DLC featured the Cadillac XTS Limo, none of the cars featured in this franchise have ever been this long. It is even lampshaded in it's official description: Motorsport 6's January DLC has the Pontiac Aztek. The trailer Lampshades this by gives it an epic introduction, before showing it driving off at a snails pace. The Porsche Expansion for Motorsport 6 adds the 356A Speedster. While it's one of the iconic stars of Porsche's early years, it qualifies as a Joke Character because it's slow (only 60 HP stock) and it has more body roll than a Jeep Wrangler. Horizon 3 adds the Reliant Regal Supervan, the first three-wheeler in the series. Motorsport 7's April DLC included the Honda Odyssey. Yes, that's right, a freaking minivan in a Forza game. Horizon 4 has the Peel P50, the smallest production car ever made with a rock-bottom default PI of 100. The British Racing Green storyline has you drive one in the 5th chapter, with an objective clearly designed as a jab at its extremely low performance (hit the Broadway speed trap at 35 mph/56 km/h to pass).

This began in Horizon 2, where the player had to win a race against a freight train using, depending on whether they're playing the Xbox 360 or Xbox One versions, a Chevrolet Corvette or a Lancia Fulvia, respectively. Horizon 3 once again sees the player racing a freight train, this time using a Chevrolet Camaro. In Horizon 4, this Showcase event tasked you to race an Ariel Nomad against the legendary Flying Scotsman. The remixed version, "Nine and Three Quarters", puts you in a tuned Ford Anglia. Horizon 5 would once again pit the player against a freight train, except this time, the train would occasionally detach its cargo to gain more speed. To compete against this, you're given a Lamborghini Countach.

Horizon 3 also caps out at 999, at which point players get a platinum wristband with a star symbol on it. Horizon 4 and Horizon 5 go even further; there's a Prestige-like level system called "Superstar" that goes up to ten, with the first one starting at what would be Driver Level 201. Although the requirement to get to the next Superstar Level goes up by 100 Driver Levels each time a player's Superstar level goes up,note In mathematical terms, where n is the next Superstar Level to reach, n = 200 DL + 100 DL * (n - 1). this means that the maximum Driver Level overall now goes up to an equivalent of 9999.note Displayed as 2,999 at Superstar Level 10.

Forza (Video Game) / int_940a5958	type	Artificial Stupidity
Forza (Video Game) / int_940a5958	comment	Artificial Stupidity: In Motorsport 3, AI drivers will occasionally spontaneously swerve all over the road and mash into each other, and it's easy for them to get stuck on each other. As in Motorsport 1 (with a few exceptions) and 2, they also did not have upgraded cars, which depending on your car choice, can turn single player "races" into glorified hotlapping. In Motorsport 4, Track Day (hotlapping while AI cars simulate slower traffic) events in Rivals. The AI are painfully slow, reaching single digits in some corners, and they will regularly pull out into your path, sometimes for no reason at all. Occasionally if you hit the rewind feature and then resume the race immediately, the AI drivers either won't realize the rewind has occurred and continue driving from where they left off (often crashing into a barrier, or one another, or even you), or will wildly over-compensate (again plunging head-long into the closest barrier). Motorsport 5 introduced Drivatars, which replaced the old AI drivers with drivers that supposedly mimic real Forza players' driving habits and skills. The system is far from perfect, with the Drivatars still being prone to many of the old AI mistakes, and unless set to Pro or Unbeatable, often many seconds slower than the player per lap. In Horizon 4, the AI will zealously follow the racing line, even if there is a faster route to the following checkpoint. Custom track makers take advantage of this to create horrible racing lines, and make long races at a ridiculously easy difficulty. The Horizon AI is typical of many racing games in being practically perfect at holding the line and braking as late as possible, but not so good at medium-fast corners or close quarter racing maneuvers. As a consequence they often slow up suddenly for turns that are easy with a slight lift, and packs will concertina together, letting the player easily get alongside and sometimes pass multiple cars at once. They won't defend an obvious impending overtake - for example letting the player take the upcoming inside line on a left if the previous turn was a right. This has two consequences; the easiest way to win is get a good start, bully into the lead and make sure to get slowed down for the apex since the AI are all but incapable of launching an overtake unless the player overshoots the corner. The second result is that short, tight, courses are by far the hardest to win on, since more corners involve heavy braking it is much more difficult to beat the AI's flawless braking zones.

Motorsport 4 features a lot more niche and unique cars where no real company would design aftermarket parts for them. However, said niche cars often use engines or are actually built from other cars (for example, the Bertone Mantide is just a Corvette ZR1 with a lighter, radically designed body), so the reason why aftermarket companies were removed besides advertising billboards remains unclear.

Forza (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb	comment	The Peel P50 (and its DLC-only brethren, the Peel Trident) in Horizon 4 has a selection of car mastery perks that enables its skill multiplier to go up to 8 without a skill song in play. Only the Peels have this perk - even Forza Edition cars, which are made for faster skill point accumulation, can only have skill multiplier boosts that increase their maximum multiplier either to 6 or 7. This potentially makes the Peels the fastest way to farm batches of 10 skill points, needing 62,500 points at 8x multiplier to top out. Of course, you still have to contend with the car's unique physics resulting from its odd design.

Forza (Video Game) / int_a6653039	comment	Subsystem Damage: Forza splits your cars into sections; bodywork, engine, gearbox, brakes, steering and suspension. Damage to each section reduces your car's performance accordingly. For instance, a shunt in the rear will damage the rear bumper and can usually be shrugged off. However, changing down a gear at too high a speed will over-rev and ruin the engine of the car, severely limiting top speed and acceleration. Somewhat flawed, as many cars can be rammed by the wheel well or front quarter panels, but will be registered as direct hits to the front bumper, despite there being no damage done to it. Some DLC cars, presumably due to rushed programming to get the car pack ready in time, take this even further; the driver's door may be hit, but the game counts this as a ruined rear bumper.

Forza (Video Game) / int_b3b1115f	comment	While the Horizon games from 2 and onward let you enable fuel consumption, tire wear, and simulation damage in the difficulty settings, none of the races are designed with that in mind, meaning ones that involve large jumps and/or crashing through large amounts of destructibles and street furniture can damage the engine enough to slow you down significantly while the AI drivers can speed ahead of you unfazed. One notable example is The Goliath in Horizon 5, which is so long that you're guaranteed to run out of fuel partway through the race.

Forza (Video Game) / int_b4a947fa	comment	Temporary Online Content: When a game reaches end-of-life status, which occurs exactly 4 years after each release, the ability to buy the game, as well as its DLC, on the Microsoft Store is removed. The paid "Fast Travel Anywhere" feature in Horizon 1, due to it being unlocked via tokens (on a per-save basis) rather than via a permanent paid DLC, is completely unavailable to any save games created after the game reached end-of-life status in late September 2016, which removed the ability to purchase the game, its DLC, and its tokens. To coincide with Porsche coming to an Xbox One Forza title (Horizon 2), albeit as DLC, two Porsche models that were last featured as part of the Porsche DLC for Motorsport 4, the 2012 911 GT2 RS and Cayenne Turbo, were gifted to all players who logged in during the first week of the DLC's release. Due to the game not having an Auction House, these two Porsche models are unobtainable to anyone who didn't log in during that specified time period. For reasons unknown, however, one pack for Horizon 2, the Playground Select Car Pack was either re-listed in late February 2022, or was never delisted in the first place. Horizon 3 has a not-insignificant amount of cars locked behind Forzathon events, such as any Porsche model that's not part of the actual Porsche DLC, and even two barn find rumors that are only revealed after completing their specific Forzathon challenges. As of February 2019, the only challenges available are from the Into the Horizon event, which will expire in 2099, meaning older challenges will not be rotated in, and any cars that were locked behind said challenges are now only obtainable via the auction house, assuming someone is willing to part with their cars. Horizon 4 has this with their Hard-To-Find cars: many weekly challenges, ranked adventure rewards or Forzathon Shop rotations allow you to get some cars (with one of them usually debuting) that can't be obtained in the autoshow, wheelspin, the Backstage or by leveling up in Horizon Life; after that week or seasonal rotation, you can't obtain it note Except with the time travel glitch, at the risk of a temporary ban. If you miss on a car, you only two hopes are that Playground let you win the car again soon, or the Auction House, where the rarer the car, the more expensive it is to get. Oh, and the list of HtF keeps growing each month since the game's launch, so it means that more than 100 cars are on rotation! Both the Quartz Regalia and the Regalia Type-D have been made unobtainable outside of the auction house as of late 2022 due to licensing issues. The regular Regalia was removed as a Backstage Pass reward, and the spot on the Regalia's skill tree that previously unlocked the Type-D now instead unlocks the Toyota Supra RZ.

Forza (Video Game) / int_b89ed08a	type	Obvious Rule Patch
Forza (Video Game) / int_b89ed08a	comment	Obvious Rule Patch: Horizon 4: The Eliminator game mode received one around a month after it debuted and changed how long a player can stay outside of the safe circle before they're eliminated by the environment. To elaborate, spending any time outside of the circle causes a "Timeout" bar to fill up, and the bar stays filled even after returning to the circle. The bar goes from empty to full at a rate such that players can spend no more than a certain amount of time outside of the circle, throughout the entire session (again, the bar doesn't drain), before they're eliminated. The time limit starts off at 60 seconds, then drops to 30 seconds after the circle shrinks to its final, smallest size. However, 30 seconds is also the amount of time between the announcement of the final race to the finish, and said final race actually starting. This meant that players that make an educated guess as to where the finish point would be, could leave the circle and start heading in that direction, using the 30 seconds they have to give themselves a tremendous head start, though at the cost of scuttling their chances of winning if they guess the wrong direction. This tactic, as demonstrated here is practically mandatory if a player wants to fulfill the conditions for both the "Pacifist"note Survive until the final round with the starting Mini Cooper S and "Heads Up"note Win a game of Eliminator without using any Car Drops achievements in the same session, as they'll be stuck with their starting Mini Cooper for the entire round. This tactic was squashed by reducing the maximum amount of time needed to fill the timeout bar at the circle's smallest size from its original 30 seconds down to a mere 2.5 seconds! Horizon 5: After the first major patch, enabling Auto-Steering and/or Assisted Braking would place a cap on EXP and Credit payouts after a certain race distancenote Make a custom route from the Las Jardenes Circuit starting line, turn around and go southwest on the highway until the roundabout, loop around, and go northwest back to the start/finish. Set for 25 laps and you'll have a rough estimate as to the cap for whatever races these assist are used on. This was an attempt to stop players from letting the AI drive their car for 50 laps of the Goliath for them, and in a 9-10 hour span, earn millions of EXP and credits for each attempt. Festival Playlist objectives that require a player to finish and/or win X amount of Y race type do not count races if the event was created via EventLab and said event's custom route distance is below a certain threshold, a direct response to players in 4 simply making minimum length routes (after sending the drivatars off into the middle of nowhere) for fulfilling this type of objective. Players quickly found a way around this by keeping the route length above the minimum threshold, and instead used Instant Win triggers to immediately end the event, something that would count towards completion of the objective. In response to this tactic, the restriction was made stricter for Treasure Hunt tasks that require a player to complete or win a race (usually of a certain type), often in a specific car or series of cars. Using any EventLab event, even one that would normally count towards the "finish and/or win X amount of Y race type" objective", would cause the task to outright bug out, as while the first part of the task is completed, the treasure chest itself will never spawn, preventing the player from completing that week's Treasure Hunt task.

Forza (Video Game) / int_c145f69b	comment	The first Horizon had only one main Horizon Festival and several small festival outposts. Horizon 2 had the main festival and six smaller festival sites, but the smaller sites were made to be mini-festivals instead of the first game's single-tent outposts (and even then, players hardly spent their time at the main festival). Horizon 3 had four festival sites happening at once, and all of them were treated as main festivals, although the original at Byron Bay is given a slightly higher prominence since it's the first site in the game and the expansions return players to that one. However, Horizon 4 reverses this trend and has a back-to-basics approach to festivals, with only one main festival again and the new houses feature serving the same functions as the outposts and mini-festivals of the first two games. Then after that, Horizon 5 brought back the multiple unlockable festival sites while still keeping the houses.

Cars can be upgraded to higher classes, and a few can be creatively downgraded to lower classes too, with engine or aspiration swaps or by installing heavy rims. In Motorsport 4, the classes generally go like this: F class - City cars, old economy cars, hybrids E class - Hot hatchbacks, '60-'70s sports cars D class - American muscle cars, '90-'00s sports cars C class - European and Japanese sports sedans, high performance hot hatches B class - Late '00s/high performance sports cars and sport sedans A class - 90s/early '00s super cars S class - Modern supercars, "track day" cars R3 class - Hypercars and road-car-based racing cars. R2 class - Purpose built racing cars which still resemble road cars. R1 class - Le Mans Prototype cars. X class - Modified Le Mans Prototypes. From Motorsport 5 onwards, this class has also included all open wheel cars from the 1980s onwards. Literal example in Horizon, in the form of wristbands.

Forza (Video Game) / int_c2d978fe	comment	Car Fu: There are game types where you get points for mashing the other cars. The Cat and Mouse game type requires you to defend your team's Mouse (a slow car) and take out the enemy Mouse and their Cats (high performance cars), which usually means mashing into the enemy Mouse as fast as possible and trying to flip them over. There's also a more standard demolition derby game type, where you get points for ramming players at high speed. Online play can frequently turn into Car Fu, unfortunately. Motorsport 3's netcode means that a slight bump can cause a car to act like you did a full blown PIT maneuver, and can result in a pileup with every player mashing into each other; the first corner of a track is notorious for causing these pileups. The problem of slight taps sending cars spinning has been fixed in Motorsport 4, but there are usually pileups at the first corner because people drive like idiots. Also taken to the extreme in Motorsport 6, where the first corner can involve 24 cars going through a corner at once. Maybe it's smart to hang back from the pack for a little while. Street races in particular have all the other racers act like you're an undercover cop or something, as they will team up and block you from getting ahead, shunt you off the the road and into other vehicles and obstacles, and go out of their way to ruin your day.

(before Motorsport 7, that is) The "Out of Time" achievement in Motorsport 4 is to reach 88 miles per hour in a DeLorean. The loading screen for Drift events has a white-and-black Toyota AE86 drifting through a corner. In Horizon 4, the purchasable skills for the AE86 references a lot of Initial D memes, from "Hachi-roku" to "Eurobeat Intensifies" and "Nani?!". Moreover, you can install a set of yellow foglights to it. In Horizon 5, Jaimin will give a shout-out to Initial D fans after you earn an accolade that requires you to earn several Ultimate Drift skills with the AE86. The name of the accolade in question is also called "My Initial is D". Buying a Ford Falcon XB will give you the "Last of the V8s" title. Finding it in Horizon 3 has the game's mechanic gush over it, all but calling it the car from Mad Max. Once it's been restored, the body kit option immediately turns it into Max's Pursuit Special. Where else have we seen a quiet, nameless guy, good with cars and owns a cool jacket and driving gloves other than Horizon? Yet in Horizon, you can challenge the CPU drivers driving around Colorado by tailing them. Tokyo Xtreme Racer and Wangan Midnight, anyone? One of the special edition Aston Martin cars is a Le Mans prototype, bearing the number of 007. As well as this, when you first find the Aston Martin DB5 in Horizon, in addition to damage from years of neglect, the car has bullet holes in it's door, and the comments made about it go exactly as far as they can without actually saying the name of it's most famous owner... Which is more amusing when the 4th sequel would feature the very same model that made it famous. One of the achievements in Horizon 2 is called "The Train's in Vain". It references one of the songs in the soundtrack. When listening to Bass Arena in both Horizon games, after being reminded about what station you are tuned into, you can sometimes hear someone say "All your bass are belong to us!". Motorsport 5 has a rivals event and achievement for doing a 10 minute lap of the NÃ¼rburgring named "I could do that in a van!" after Sabine Schmitz's Badass Boast on Top Gear. Horizon 3 has an achievement called This. Is. FORZA! Another Horizon 3 achievement is titled "Tonight We Ride", which is the tagline of the 2015 Need for Speed reboot. Horizon 3 has special events called Forzathon that give prizes for competing in certain kinds of events, one which was based around Halo had car horns offered with the task having a title based on something from the games. However the final task which gave the player their own Warthog is called "Looks more like a Puma". The nickname feature in Horizon 3 and 4 are full of these. You have Bort, Big Boss, El Pollo Diablo, Dom and Maverick and Goose for examples. In Horizon 3 the second showcase is called Freight Expectations. The barn found Mini Cooper in Horizon 4 is name dropped as a stunt car that bungled the sewer chase scene in The Italian Job (1969). Similarly, another barn find is a red 1983 Audi Sport Quattro that's been shot-up - implied to be the one from BBC series Ashes to Ashes (2008). One set of story missions has you helping a Gamer Chick vlogger reenact her favorite racing games, reminiscent of one specific trailer for Motorsport 6 that depicted the new Ford GT driving through various racing games in each generation of gaming. Occasionally when in the lead and second place manages to overtake you they will suddenly go up to plaid speed and be completely impossible to catch, ala the cheating AI in RC Pro-Am. Expect to be pipped by this right at the end of a race where even if you can react rewinds will suddenly be switched off. One of the horns added to Horizon 4 with the Fortune Island expansion is the infamous "Wololo" cry of the Priest from Age of Empires I. The description for 1969 Dodge Charger R/T in Horizon says everything: Some engine swaps are implicit shout-outs, both to movie cars or real-life ones: in Horizon 4, an RB26 can be installed into a 1968 Ford Mustang 2+2, or you can slap a Ferrari 458 engine into a Toyota GT86 . The Horizon 4 rendition of the Toyota Supra MkIV recovers some of the customization pieces from the FnF editions of previous games, and some of the car tree skills don't hide the influence of the franchise to the car's popularity. A variant of the Flying Scotsman showcase is named Nine & Three Quarters, and the weapon of choice you are given? An old blue Ford Anglia. Some of the Accolades found in Horizon 5, such as "The Holy Trinity",note Own a 2013 McLaren P1, 2013 Ferrari LaFerrari, and a 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder "I Don't Have Cars, I Have Family",note Own a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, 1998 Toyota Supra RZ, 1993 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec, and a 1997 Mazda RX-7 and "A Wild Challenge Card Appears!".note Complete a Challenge Card in Freeroam

Forza (Video Game) / int_ca1f9429	comment	Boxing Lessons for Superman: The Horizon Speed Zones are a good way to learn how much more speed comes from taking corners properly. The zones always have turns that require braking, usually right before the the start or finish camera and three stars requires almost perfection, braking, turn-in and acceleration. The lesson being that far more speed is lost from untidy turns than can ever be regained again on the straights - even with a ridiculously fast car. It's a skill that serves drivers well in the race events.

Forza (Video Game) / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: The Forza Horizon series is much more lighthearted and friendly than the straight-laced and serious Forza Motorsport series. Also, each subsequent Forza Horizon game has gotten lighter and softer than the one before it; the first Forza Horizon was actually rated Teen by the ESRB, having several songs with risquÃ© lyrics and the Horizon radio DJs had more dialogue that could be considered inappropriate. The dialogue became more family-friendly and the songs' lyrics became more Bowdlerised in each sequel, to the point that after going E10+ in Horizon 2 and 3, Horizon 4 and 5 were rated Everyone without even any additional descriptors, not even "Mild Lyrics". This actually led to an issue where Horizon 4 received an update that censored more songs' lyrics and removed another song from the soundtrack entirely because of its frequent mentions of death (to say nothing of its title, "Die Trying").

The main draw of the DLC is a Joke Level which brings on an Unexpected Gameplay Change - driving on Hot Wheels tracks is more akin to Trackmania or the Grand Theft Auto Online stunt races. Vehicle customization to min max top speed and horsepower because of the long straights and lack of traffic is heavily encouraged, and the Hot Wheels vehicles serve as Joke Characters that can be brought back into the main game. Where it really gets silly is how the presence of Thrilltopia changes the behavior of your team and radio announcers, who have always been fond of lampshades, snark and quirky behavior, but the fantastical premise of the DLC takes all of these traits into seventh gear and turns the Horizon Festival into an affectionate World of Snark.

Forza (Video Game) / int_d68c925d	comment	Creator Provincialism: Not to the same extent as Gran Turismo, but there are a lot of classic and modern muscle cars, as the company is American. DLC had greatly expanded the classic European car selection, adding in companies like Austin-Healey, and adding in cars like the Peugot 205 and BMW 507. Someone at Turn 10 obviously favors Ferrari; they generally have one of the biggest car selections in each game. With the lower car count in Horizon, this is especially noticeable. Justified, though, as Turn 10 has exclusive rights to the manufacturer. With the release of the free 1000 Club expansion pack to Horizon, one of the new achievements that Playground Games added requires that the player earns at least one challenge medal in twenty different British-made cars each. Also, in continuity with the above, there's an achievement for earning one medal each for fourteen different Ferraris. Horizon 4 takes place in Great Britain, Playground Games' homeland.

Forza (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: The rewind feature from Motorsport 3 and beyond. From Motorsport 4 onwards, it can be turned off for bonus credits. In Horizon 4, players will ghost through traffic and other racers (including their friends and those in their convoy) when they enter speed zones and drift zones.. Horizon 3 and Horizon 4's versions of the "Horizon Promo" feature have a bunch of these compared to their previous iteration in Horizon 2. Any cars you haven't captured will have a camera icon above the player name of the car. In Horizon 2, this feature needed to be unlocked. Note that in 2 and 3, this only applied to playable cars. Non-playable traffic vehicles will never display a camera icon. Horizon 4's Promo feature consists solely of playable vehicles. 4 has a "Promo Quick-Shot" feature that allows a player to quickly take a picture specifically for the Promo without having to wait for the image to process before being allowed to back out. The 360 version of Horizon 2 allows players to change cars while out on the open road, whereas the Xbox One version does not. Horizon 3 would be the first Xbox One Forza title with this feature, though it has fixed a cost of 10,000 credits (The same as fast-travelling without discounts) per use. Horizon 4 not only brought back the "free-of-charge" aspect, but also gave the player a dedicated option to change cars while looking through the blueprints of a road/dirt/cross-country/drag event (Horizon 3 required that the player either find a blueprint in which the car they want to switch was eligible or make a blueprint of their own), as well as the ability to select their car before starting a Street Scene event (Horizon 3 dumps you straight into the street race with your current car). Horizon 5 also added a car change option for Street Scene events, as that race type was added to the EventLab and custom blueprints could be made for them.

In Horizon 4 the Titan and the Gauntlet especially seem planned to take the player into the hardest sections last. The Titan goes right over the Great Ridge jump, and finishes in the train yard, with the line hidden behind the end of one of the sheds. The Gauntlet leads the player down an increasingly twisty rally stage of a road, making the last few KM the most frenetic of the course.

Horizon 3 adjusts the handling physics so that it is much more difficult to handle cars not designed for off-roading through open fields, which adjusts the meta towards Jack of All Trades cars and keeping a decent variety of vehicle types in reserve. Skills received a nerf in Horizon 4. In Horizon 2 and 3, they were on big grids and were applicable to every car. In 4, they were scaled back into car-specific Car Masteries, which only apply to that car, and are on a smaller grid. That means that not every car will have, for instance, an upgrade to higher multipliers.

Forza (Video Game) / int_e9f517e1	comment	Artistic License â€“ Geography: The Horizon games. The first game takes place in a completely fictionalized version of Colorado. Horizon 2 added real towns and cities, with everything in its correct place accounting for Space Compression, but Nice, Sisteron, and Castelletto (Genoa) represented only around half of the land. Horizon 3 is a less fictionalized map, but it still takes some liberties with the locations of Australian landmarks. Gold Coast and Byron Bay are fine, but the Twelve Apostles are located between the two, and the Yarra Valley is just to the west of them, and they're all within a short driving distance from a rainforest. Horizon 4 follows the design philosophy of 3, presenting a Britain that includes Edinburgh, the Lake District and the Cotswolds all within a short driving distance from each other, although it does include a couple fictional places. Horizon 5 features a larger map that has swamps, beaches, deserts, rainforests, and a volcano within still a relatively short driving distance, but MulegÃ© (which is in Baja California Sur), Guanajuato (which is in the central state of the same name), and the Riviera Maya (which is in Quintana Roo on the YucatÃ¡n Peinsula) are not only short drives away from each other in this game, but the game places MulegÃ© southwest of the latter two and puts them all together on the same landmass. Teotihuacan is also right next to the region of Tapalpa, Jalisco, which in real life is 600 km away. Talk about massive Space Compression! All the Forza Horizon map expansions are completely fictitious: Horizon 2: Storm Island takes place on a fictional Mediterranean island that gets a lot of stormy weather. Horizon 3: Blizzard Mountain takes place on a fictional snow-covered Australian mountain. Horizon 3: Hot Wheels takes place on a blatantly unrealistic small archipelago connected by giant Hot Wheels tracks called Thrilltopia. Horizon 4: Fortune Island takes place on a fictional island somewhere in the North Sea. Horizon 4: LEGO Speed Champions takes place in the fictional LEGO Valley, which has giant LEGO bricks, pieces, flowers and minifigures, a small city called Brickchester, a desert right next to a temperate forest, a race track, a LEGO airport, a giant skate park for cars, a beach lined with pirate ships, speed ramps, and a lighthouse overlooking a cliff. Horizon 5: Hot Wheels takes place in Horizon Hot Wheels Park, a giant park the floats above the playable map of Mexico. Horizon 5: Rally Adventure takes place in the Sierra Nueva, a fictional part of Mexico. The Bernese Alps track (Motorsport 4) as well as the three urban tracks, Prague (Motorsport 5), Rio de Janeiro (Motorsport 6) and especially Dubai (Motorsport 7). The Jebel Hafeet (and its road and the Mercure hotel) is located in al-Ain, within the emirate of Abu Dhabi, not Dubai. The hotel is not the end of the mountain road - in real life it extends up to the summit. The mountain is nowhere near the city nor an airport.

Forza (Video Game) / int_ea44cd34	comment	Britain Is Only London: Well averted in Horizon 4, which makes barely a mention of the capital or much in the south of England at all. The feature city is Edinburgh, and the map features large areas given over to Scotland and northern English locations. For example the large castle is Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland. Derwent Dam is in the Peak District between Sheffield and Manchester. Ambleside is in the Lake District. The Cotswolds and the Chesterton Windmill are considered the West Country more than the Home Counties.

Forza (Video Game) / int_eb7c34cf	type	Crossover
Forza (Video Game) / int_eb7c34cf	comment	Crossover: Like many racing games with licensed vehicles, Forza franchise themselves are Massive Multiplayer Crossover with wildly-different carmakers thrown in. These examples below, however, take this trope more than usual: Forza Motorsport 4 features the Top Gear (UK) test track, and Jeremy Clarkson provides commentary on dozens of cars in the Autovista mode. Most of the Reasonably Priced Cars from the various Top Gear shows are playable. The Suzuki Liana and the Kia Cee'd from Top Gear UK are there, but the Chevrolet Lacetti is surprisingly absent. The Top Gear US car, a Suzuki SX4, shows up as well. The two cars from the now-canceled Top Gear Australia (a Proton Satria Neo and a Ford XG Falcon Ute) are nowhere to be found, however. Motorsport 5 featured very high support from Top Gear: all of the three hosts (Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May) appear in the game. The Warthog from Halo appears as an Easter Egg in the Autovista mode with Cortana (Jen Taylor) providing the commentary for it in the place of Clarkson. A civilian variant of the Warthog reappears in Horizon 3, where it becomes drivable, alongside "The Trials" being one of the songs that plays on the in-game radio. Forza Horizon 2 received a standalone expansion to promote Furious 7. It involves various challenges using cars from the latest film. All the new cars from this standalone barring Brian's GT-R are available through Furious 7 Car Pack for the base game. Motorsport 6 also got its own Fast & Furious car pack, this time featuring ten cars from different films of the franchise. Motorsport 7 also got a car pack based on The Fate of the Furious and includes ten cars from the film. The TV advert for Motorsport 6 showcases the 2017 Ford GT driving through Gran Trak 10, RC Pro-Am, Pole Position, Chase HQ, and Ridge Racer. The Chryslus Rocket 69 from Fallout 4 made its guest appearance in Motorsport 6, and it's drivable! The second expansion for Forza Horizon 3 is a crossover/cross-promotion with Hot Wheels and takes players to a set of islands that are connected by life-sized Hot Wheels stunt tracks. You can also drive a couple of Hot Wheels cars. The Quartz Regalia from Final Fantasy XV appears in Forza Horizon 3 and is available to players who have played either of those games on Xbox One or PC by August 1st, 2017. It returns in Forza Horizon 4 from the game's Series 6 update onward, but it's only available via Forzathon, either via Seasonal playlists, or occasionally through the Forzathon shop. The off-roading Type-D variant was also introduced in the same update, either as an unlockable reward from the regular Regalia's Mastery tree, or the occasional Forzathon reward. Forza Horizon 4 gets a Best of Bond Car Pack that features ten cars from the James Bond films. Players can even view the gadgets used in the films while in Forzavista mode. Moreover, the second expansion is LEGO-themed, including replicas of in-game cars "built" with LEGO bricks and a world with LEGO landscapes, buildings, vegetation and animals. In late 2020, Series 30 also brings the Quadra V-Tech from Cyberpunk 2077, on the day after the latter's launch. Besides Hot Wheels making a comeback, Horizon 5 brings Donut Media into the franchise.

Forza (Video Game) / int_ebe55efb	comment	RPG Elements: Like its inspiration, the series is basically RPG with cars: Each race in career mode gives you experience as well as money. At certain levels you are gifted what should be an appropriate car... The third and fourth Motorsport games also have manufacturer levels, which give cash and increasing discounts on aftermarket parts. In the fourth Motorsport game, you can (eventually) get all manufacturer upgrades for free! Exaggerated in Horizon 4: Horizon Life grants you experience for everything where progress can be tracked, be it racing through any discipline, rivals, online adventure, the Eliminator, maxing out PR stunts, completing stories/businesses, taking photos or creating liveries, tunes. Some cars are locked until you reach a certain level on a discipline. Motorsport (2023) will have individual levels for each individual car in your garage, and upgrades are restricted to the level of a given car.

Forza (Video Game) / int_eea06f9a	comment	Artistic License â€“ Cars: Since braking and reverse are the same trigger, this can result in the car being shifted into reverse while it's still moving forward, and since the trigger to accelerate becomes the brake while the car is backing up, this can also result in the car being put in drive while still backing up. This causes no issue ingame, but car lovers are sure to cringe since in real life those are good ways to stall your engine and damage your transmission.

Horizon had a monstrous fifty US dollars season pass. Horizon 1 and Motorsport 5's DLC have been particularly controversial due to the vast majority of the DLC vehicles being cars that were in previous games which were removed in the sequel.

Forza (Video Game) / int_f068cba	type	Oddball in the Series
Forza (Video Game) / int_f068cba	comment	Oddball in the Series: Horizon 2 is the only Horizon game to feature road trips between festival sites. They are replaced by convoys in Horizon 3, which players can start and stop at any time. It's also the only Horizon with a male Horizon Festival director (Ben Miller), the only one so far that is held in two countries (France and Italy), the only entry to automatically save game clips for doing certain stunts such as lots of drifts, and the only Horizon entry to have not received Xbox One X enhancements.note Horizon 3 received 4K enhancements in an update (it already had HDR support as it was released with the Xbox One S, and it was released for Windows 10 PCs anyway). Horizon 1 was made backward-compatible on Xbox One and also received Xbox One X enhancements for 4K resolution support. Horizon 4 was made for the Xbox One X, rendering at 1080p/60 in Performance mode, and rendering at 4K/30 with graphical enhancements in Quality mode, along with HDR support on both S and X regardless. And two years later, the game got ported to Series S and X. Horizon 3 is the only Horizon game not to have only one central Horizon Festival site, with festival sites in Byron Bay, the Outback (near Coober Pedy), Yarra Valley, and Surfers Paradise. As a result, it's also the only Horizon game not to feature any Horizon Festival going on in the "satellite photo" of its map screen, since all four festivals are constructed as you progress through the game.

Horizon 4 greatly relaxes this, with one skill point requiring only 50,000 skill score to earn, and allowing up to a maximum of ten skill points at most from a skill chain. This is offset by the fact that each individual car has its own skill tree. Horizon 5 maintains these.

Forza (Video Game) / int_f237981e	comment	The Alleged Car: Motorsport 4 features famous Alleged Cars like the Ford Pinto, AMC Gremlin, Chevrolet Corvair, Mustang King Cobra, and of course the DMC DeLorean. However, despite being painfully slow when stock, they all work just as well as any other car, and several of them become Lethal Joke Characters when upgraded and tuned. Horizon 3 ups the ante by including the Reliant Regal Supervan. Starting from Forza Horizon 2, the player can collect "Barn Finds", cars tucked away in abandoned garages and sheds for a long time, with considerable body rust, flat tires and missing pieces. Just from looking at them, it's obvious these cars need serious work before they're roadworthy again.

In the high end purpose-built cars, you can actually disable the entire HUD and still remain fairly aware of your status - the car's electronic dashboard or wheel-mounted display will list lap times, your position, remaining fuel, RPMs, gear, speed, and so on. In cars like the Lamborghini Reventon, with its fully digital fighter-jet esque dashboard, it goes all the way to Technology Porn.

Forza (Video Game) / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement: Obviously parts, fuel and tire companies are advertised, however Forza has been supported by several manufacturers over the years and have had numerous free car packs. Motorsport 2 was supported by Nissan. Motorsport 3 and Motorsport 4 were backed by Hyundai, with the free pack in each game normally having an upcoming model and a racing variant along with it. Motorsport 4 was closely linked with BMW, and the new Viper. Horizon 2 had a free car pack to promote the 2016 Mazda MX-5. Also, every second expansion of the Horizon sequels are this as a cross-promotion, with Horizon 2 having a Porsche expansion and a Fast & Furious standalone expansion, Horizon 3 having a Hot Wheels expansion, and Horizon 4 getting a LEGO expansion. Horizon 4 promotes that the Horizon Festival is (or was, considering it's unavailable) streamed through Microsoft's former streaming service Mixer.

Forza (Video Game) / int_f5a3e496	type	Suspiciously Similar Substitute
Forza (Video Game) / int_f5a3e496	comment	Suspiciously Similar Substitute: RUF to Porsche in Forza Motorsport 4. Whilst initially seen as a Replacement Scrappy, RUF is one of few manufacturers to be fully sponsored through the game, as shown by the various billboards with the RUF logo. Even with the arrival of the Porsche expansion pack, the developers still add to RUF's car selection with their more famous cars such as the CTR "Yellowbird" as downloadable content. The inclusion of both Porsche and RUF makes it only the second game in history - the first being Test Drive II: The Duel - to feature both manufacturers. The reintroduction of Porsche in Horizon 2 makes it the third game to do so. The first game had the Blue Mountains course. It was an exact replica of Australia's Bathurst circuit, albeit with more lush scenery. When Toyotas were absent from the franchise, the BMW Z4 '19 and the Subaru BRZ were seen as substitutes of the 2020 Toyota GR Supra and the Toyota GT86, respectively. Unlike previous games, Horizon 4 does not feature any Rolls-Royce vehicles. However, Series 26 brought the 1991 Bentley Turbo R, which can also be seen as a performance variant of the RR Silver Spirit
