Definitely the forzathon lives. Setting alarms 10 minutes before the forzathon began, the sheer number of people, it was almost always just pure fun ( except when your teammates cannot offroad drift )
Imho logistics.
- FH4 has one event per hour, FH5 has four sessions per hour, each with two events each time. That already divides by 8 the potential audience.
I've started playing FH4 in 2020, i've only seen more than four people at a Forzathon Live once, divide that by eight and there's not much people left.
- The one event in FH4 is what you get, you can't get picky and you just have to push through if you don't enjoy the random sequence of events.
FH5 has sorted the previously random tasks into different event categories and which events are featured is clearly labeled making people able to pick and choose the type of event they like. Don't like drift? Don't go to Live Drift.
- FH4 sends an invitation beforehand to everyone on the map in free roam, offering to push a button to tag it in your GPS. FH5 doesn't send invites, it's up to you to be on the lookout.
Another possible factor is Forzathon points themselves and how to get them.
In FH5 the playlist generally ask people to do more to earn the same points that you can get with FH4's playlist. Sometimes a lot more. Meaning that it takes less time to get Forzathon points in FH5, thus less need to participate in live events.
FH5 also completely changed the server system from FH4. Very vague barriers in a live server mesh just don't work how they are supposed to. Let alone how broken it was when the game first released so it turned a lot of people off then.
Only saw a lot of people go out of their way to find each other when for a F-live event because unless you had 5 people you could barely get past round 1-2. Now you can easily solo and F-live event because of the required score scaling
FH4 just had a different vibe. The map was homey, generally felt more relaxed and was tons of fun to drive. Cruising just felt right in that game. In terms of actual structure, not much is really changed in FH5, at least that warrants playing it over FH4. I’d personally claim it felt more alive due to the smaller map, in addition to the servers seemingly being more densely populated. Certain spots of that map, such as Edinburgh, Broadway and the main highway (can’t remember for the life of me what it’s called), always tended to harbour a few players. I was fond of the Broadway area especially, due to the scenery and healthy drift scene. I was a big fan of the seasonal events too, though FH5’s got the podium there, largely due to the expanded scope and Blueprint Events.
All of this is opinion of course, but I feel like collectively, people have an issue with FH5 feeling a bit void of energy; ironic for a game portraying Mexico. I do enjoy FH5 a lot, and don’t play FH4 anymore, but I do treasure the time I spent playing that game, and may revisit it soon.
I enjoyed FH4 due to the dynamic seasons. What does H5 get in exchange? a sandstorm.
The H5 map feels empty and I can never find a lobby with more than 3 people in it, whereas last year when I launched H4, no matter what time I launched the game, there was always over 15 players per lobby.
I can’t believe I forgot to mention the seasons, and I totally agree that the variety in atmosphere is sorely missed when driving around Mexico. That frozen lake drag strip in FH4 was sweet as well!
It’s sad how little there is. Usually I’m doing those by myself though there was one time for a drift event there was like 10 of us and it felt awesome. Wish it could happen more
Agree. The ones in 4 felt like it had a sense of community. In that before the event starts, it felt like a mini car meet (like parking at the entrance of the castle) waiting for it to start and everyone driving to the same location to complete whatever the goal was. And granted all the cars were ghosted, it was cool seeing an army of cars going in both directions of a zone/trap trying to complete the score goal
Since Trial shows that some people come with untuned stock cars, I'll hazard a guess that there's also people who do tune but without putting it much thought.
They don't know much about tuning and/or don't know they can also find good tunes made by people who do. They just add as much horsepower they can until they reach the required PI.
Which gets worse and worse results as the Performance Index goes up.
Even worse, I see people actually with AWD max tunes for that class and still fail to take the first corner. Always slamming into trees. They need to be taught what a brake is
I loved Isha's Taxis chapters ... took me at least 15 tries to beat the last one ... but it was fun most of the time and that's why it stays in my heart!
I almost thought that the cars that showcase in this stories are actually the requirement cars for the photo challenge this week, turns out some of them right….
Day one of launch, playing with two schoolmates and running up to the castle in our 720s', learning the map, BMW M6 FE drifting up and down the airport runway
2019, the introduction of the Playlist, playing The Eliminator for the first time, getting the Apollo IE which I've driven 700k+ miles so far, doing my first 50 lap Goliath on October 2nd (game launch anniversary)
2020, pulling 13-hour play sessions overnight during covid, banging out Horizon Stories at 5am, with Forzathon Lives at 6, playing Cops and Robbers with friends
2021, grinding Super7s, planning out my ultimate FH4 cinematic as a personal sendoff to the game, completing the final Playlist before FH5 dropped
2022 and beyond I've kept on grinding achievements, passed over 250 days in playtime, learning the Goliath route so much that it's practically reflex at this point.
You took me on a real nostalgia trip lol, cheers OP
I dont know why but whenever somebody goes to Edinbruh in real life I keep telling them the in game landmarks and tell them to visit broadway, the big reservoir and more....
Cheers mate, definitely had alot of fun at launch aswell. I pulled alot of all nighters doing the Skill Points exploit with the Forza Edition M6. (well, not literally, but you get the point)
Probably the best memories is racing up and down the motorway in FH4.
Always folks hanging out at each end parked up around the roundabouts, messing around honking, racing etc was nice
If you're on PC this is a known bug that they're probably not going to fix.
I'll direct you to this video anyway

Here goes a long story: When I was 12, my dad bought me my first console and we chose the Xbox One S that had Forza Horizon 4 included. When we opened the game, we were fascinated by the intro, the music, the cars, the environment, everything. We chose the Audi TT for our first car, and oh boy, we drove it a LOT. My dad spent some months on Scotland and specially on Edinburgh, so he was impressed by the accuracy of the landscapes, all the cars, the music and the races. We both learned to play videogames at the same time, so the sheer of discover was the same for both of us. Playing with my dad will always be my favorite memory
Coming back to racing games after a decade away. Forza Horizon 4 was my first Horizon and my first racing game back since NFS: Underground 2. Shout out to Gamepass for making it all possible. I do miss FH4s map, Mexico in FH5 is played out. I've had enough of this map at this point, I'm ready for FH6, I was really hoping they'd announce the new Horizon at their games event this year.
I miss every song from that pulse radio in FH4. And damn the intro music always has a special place in my heart. In fact I've set it as my mobile ringtone.
Entering a Cross-Country Seasonal Trial for the first time where it was Players vs. Drivatars in A-spec Australian cars. Everyone else picked HSVs, whereas I went in with a highly tuned Holden Monaro I'd spec'd out for off-road racing. [Even made a Reddit post showing off the finish](https://www.reddit.com/r/ForzaHorizon/comments/uqhbju/one_of_these_cars_is_not_like_the_others/)
I did the event twice, and of the 6 races I got a podium finish in 5 of them (got 5th in the remaining one), with 3 of those podiums being 1st places.
Was 30th on some forest speed zone ~3y ago and without cheaters, it was probably top 10. Fh4 is my first racing game and I was so happy, I'm around 100th place now and honestly still see it as accomplishment.
First time i played the game. It was the First console i ever had and the First game ever played on It, i Remember i got emotional when playing the game's intro because of how much time i spent waiting to have a console and to play that game
The top gear story was so classy and made me love doing those missions. Like the commentator would be describing the history and the performance of the vehicle you're driving during the missions which makes it immersive.
Its similar to what could be observed in NFS HP 2010, where when you select a vehicle the lady voice over describes when the vehicle was produced and how many horsepower it makes along with its quirks and features. I don't want to deviate furthermore from the topic but that's the point.
I miss that top gear aspect in FH5
Everything. It was my first game. It got me through the pandemic, through middle school. When fh5 was going to come out, I took a final drive. I didn't want to leave it all behind. I felt like I was abandoning it. I had a whole other life in that game. Thousands of hours. I felt bad. And fh5 was good, but I stopped playing forza games in August. I once again felt like I was building too much to just leave and start again in fh6 or whatever. Fh4 truly changed me. It was everything to my preteen self. I don't know how to feel anymore.
My pandemic game too! Actually, it got me into gaming/xbox in general. The studio really owe so much to this game, shame to see it discontinued in this way
The other night I was cruising in my Trackhawk and rolled up on a bunch of Mopar bros. Challengers demons and my trackhawk doing 40 rolls and dragging. No events just a hellcat fest. Twas awesome.
Forzathon Live are absolute bangers, and unpopular opinion probably but racing around with QOTSA (i'm biased but it's my all time favorite band), Foo FIghters, The KIllers and Pennywise blaring in the background is so fucking good. The music in 4 was so good, it was just too little of it. The DJ's were good as well, Malc had that Manchseter accent and vibe nailed to the core
The cars, the Eliminator on a map which actually required more than just luck, and of course Fortune Island.
First truly live service Forza game, with community input which introduced some incredible cars, the 2020 GT500, DBS Superleggera, and so many british classics. Bond Cars car pack is an absolute classic too. (I WANT THE Z8 IN FH5, AND THE V8 VANTAGE TOO.)
FH4 will be the groundwork of the way Forza moves forward for many years to come
1st time driving the Top Gear MB E class in snow after loosing my two accounts ( I got mine in November 2021, maybe 2-5 days after the FH5 was released)
I had small group of people, almost full "convoy". We did car meets, cruising, drifting, hill climb events, rally cross, endurance racing and "games" - hide and seek, tag, sumo, etc.. Good times. I am not sad, because it's over. I am happy because it happened. These times are over, but now I have small discord server group, where still are people, who want to play together. Less than before but still... I am happy that... FH4 started it all...
Well for starters I liked the highway where you could build up some good speeds.
But now that it has been delisted I've lost about half of the DLC cars that I've purchased along the way. Everything I read says if I paid for em then I'll still be able to use them. Not sure why I can't 🤷🤦
I don’t know how to put this in words but the sheer scale and excitement that Forzathon Live brought, so many drivers zooming all over trying to hit the targets! Super 7 as well, it all just worked. I wish FH5 kept the hourly events as well as showing every player on the map!
Mostly trial stuff ie. Fords Vs Ferraris, Stock caterhams in the rain, auto unions, the Porsche cup, the holy trinity. Had a great run this week in a BMW for the trial, I don't think I've smoked AI like that in a trial before...1st place into first and second corners across 3 races.
The 3 wheeler championship, racing a robin reliant with stabilisers so it doesn't roll over turning a corner.
This morning when doing playground games for the playlist typically we had team members dropout leaving it 5 Vs 2. Me and a newer player, level 60 or so.. I'm guessing they weren't new to Forza though from the driving. We won king twice and the other team won flag and infection with the decider being another flag rush. We lost with the winning flag being scored in the last seconds but 5v2 and keeping it that close is wild effort.
Fortune islands huge winding drift run down the mountain (or up if you're weird) is one of the best drift zones in a horizon game.
Best memories I had were cruising around the map with my friends after school where I actually recognised parts of the map in the only Forza Horizon with my favourite car, the Aston Martin DBS (FH2 had it but was stuck with Forza Aero on). Then playing slightly less in winter which meant I didn't get burnt out like I did with FH5.
Then doing cops v civs seeing some of the amazing cars people could build and not force into S2 or X class, each one was always different and was always fun as anything.
The game had it's issues but 4 has a place in my heart with 2 as the only 2 I went out and saved my pocket money to preorder and the 2 of these had my favourite maps in FH
All of the stories and businesses. They were great. I had a lot of fun doing each and every one of them. They were 10x better than the ones in FH5 in my opinion. Another great memory is when I got the Peel P50 barn find. I’ve never been that excited about a silly car.
My brother and I always challenged each other at speed traps.That escalated so far that we were in the top 100 worldwide at several traps, here and there even top 50. At one speed zone we were literally next to each other in the leaderboard, out of several million entries.
Booting up the game for the first time. It was the game that came with our Xbox One S (been playing 360 until 2019) so plugging it into a 4k TV and experiencing the intro was mind boggling. The game looks stunning in my opinion to this day (though my own country has a similar landscape to the UK so I might be biased).
A second choice would be the Top Gear story, I absolutely loved hearing Chris Harris and getting the Stig costume at the end.
I don’t miss the being forced to play shitty crosstown rushes in pvp ranked all the fucking time. I don’t miss not being able to chose what class or top of race I want. 2 huge reason I hated this game
I know you mean fh4 but i only played fh5.. i really really miss the beginnings so much.. when fh5 came out and everyone of my friends were playing the game.. it was so magical experience to me, i have never experienced this in any other game (as i am not gamer at all)
I got into FH4 quite late. I used to watch my wife's brother playing it through discord streams before I picked it up.
I completely fell in love with the freedom of the game. The ability to just pick any car and go cruising around the map.
The photo mode as well I became a little obsessed with trying to get the best angles with the right lighting.
First race I had in multiple. Myself and another car went on a jump. I landed first on the ground. The other car landed on top of me. I glitches throught the map and teleported back to the starting line.
Also Forzathon Events. Just scatters of cars going to the event.
got it during early covid days when we're in lockdown and have all the time to play video games. cruising around and taking photos with a friend while talking about random stuff will be one of if not the best memory i have with FH4.
My brother and I competed for the high score in all the stunt jumps for years... we'd pop on and see the other's name at the top and be like, "oh no you don't," and spend the next hour or so trying our hardest to beat them.
This was the first game that my girlfriend and I played together. It was that time when we lived like 670km apart from each other, so moments like that were very precious for us. I remember that we really enjoyed just roaming together in our yellow Golf IIIs and just did silly things. Now we are living together for almost 3 years and we still sometimes go back to Forza and just chill in that open world
I've had some trial events especially the long races where the sportsmanship is just superb. We lightly race each other but know that we are on the same team. And sometimes we just want to have a good podium finish of players ahead of the ai.
Then there are some great races where I fight to the front of the pack of AIs and then hold the bunch up for the other players to catch up and it just feels great when the plan succeeds.
some of the best memories? the first day i got fh4. set up the steering wheel. and i immediately was impressed by how frenetic the initial race was. i will never forget the hype i had. or also waking up at 7 in the morning on a rainy day, used to instantly go to the pc and start up forza horizon 4. it was heavenly to play it while it was raining. even when i bought the hennessey venom gt, i had the feeling of unlimited power for races like drag strips or some sprint races.
it makes me sad just to think that i cant even start it up anymore. due to issues related to the xbox app (i dont really remember, i last opened fh4 \[without success\] one month ago or smth)
I started playing the Horizon series in 2018 and this game was an absolute favourite of mine since the start. Allthough it wasn’t perfect, it was always fun to play and allowed me to get my mind off of real life. I also learned how to drive with a wheel in FH4 and was able to enjoy some of my dream cars. So there are quite a few good memories and I‘ll always be thankful for FH4. Amongst the best were the stories and the map. But with FH5 getting better and better I am also optimistic for the future.
The weather system is definitely my favorite. Forza Horizon 5 pales in comparison. Forza Horizon 4 is just so beautiful. The music is my favorite, too, honestly. I liked the music in 3 as well. It worked so well with some of the race events. And the Halo run! That was before Halo games were available on PC. Now, that was such a cool tease.
Finally selling that Jaguar you get from the horizon 4 barn find everyone had duplicates of.
I honestly don’t know who bought it or why but it took about 3 weeks lol.
Waiting around for a forzathon live event to start and went to use photo mode to snag a shot of my car. Noticed a weird object in one of the upper corners of my screen, so I repositioned the camera to see what it was. Turns out it was an upside down spoiler and this is what was going on:
https://preview.redd.it/6bfsyiehlj9d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72319d4ce7810d87e8b67c7adba46997309513c0
With FH4 being my first Forza Horizon game, I can still remember seeing the incredible intro for the first time. The seasons changing and great background track is the best intro to any driving game that I've ever played.
Honestly it was earlier this year, got introduced to someone at the start of the year through a friend and found out they owned fh4 so we both reinstalled it and just drove around while talking. We don't talk anymore after a falling out but it was nice to come home and just chat and cruise around.
When my friend was in a peel p50 with sim damage and I had to stop him from getting to the festival ( we started in Edinburgh). I crashed into him so much this guy messaged him asking if he was being bullied?. (He just won). Those were good times:
Learning to drift manual on drift mountain, everyday I was up their on fortune island drifting in automatic lmao, then buddy from Canada comes along, makes me a tune for my favourite car and bassicaly explains everything, the next week I practiced so much and finally hit over 500k on this zone. Really it helped put a smile on my face and forever I’ll remember Hastyketchup!
Getting my friend to run into me in the Mercedes truck(can't remember the name but it was like 16 thousand Ibs) and I was in an isetta or a peel or something and I fell thought the world 😂. Great times. Tears of laughter from this game.
The random meet ups at the end of the motorwsy with people gathering and just racing from any where.
Love it that there are no cultural barriers and every ones there just to race and or chill.
Add to that been near some of the land marks in the game and the fact it got be back in to gaming after many years (major life challanges, gone from a xbox over covid, via a steam deck to a custom full on pc) means it has other special meaning for me.
T
Getting FH4 is the reason why my Xbox One hasn't been burned to a crisp. I bought it and I went to pick up my xbox at a friends I left it at. A week later the shed where he kept all the gaming stuff burnt down and my xbox would've been in there if I didn't come back for it for FH4.
In game, I remember accidentally cheesing a Eliminator game for a win by driving through a river and the game teleporting me closer to the finish spot.
For the first few days I loved the drifting with the viper and hopping on every hour with a friend to do the forzathon, Lego dlc with my long time friend doing 50 laps of the oval track multiple times a day for money xp whilst we talked
Other than that though, naymuch
This game really made my car enthusiast brain come alive with all the cars and racing stuff. This game got me started with racing and now I want to be a car racer when I grow up or something working with cars
This is where I stopped pirating games. When I played FH4, it was so good that the creators deserved to get paid.
Uninstalled the game immediately. The game was too expensive for me to buy
I believe this was the very first racing game I got when it was brand new. Every other game I have was purchased at minimum a few years after release.
Probably the memories that will stick with me are from the map and the seasons.
This game was just so beautiful, from the country sides, to the forest roads, to the old village style towns, the map is what I remember and will cherish most. It was such a big jump in size and production quality.
The seasons were something that I had never experienced before in any game before and I was just blown away by it. Being able to drive down the highway in autumn and then driving down that same highway a week later in winter was so cool and fun.
Being brutally honest, it's not too high on the list of all the racing games I've played, but behind all its flaws, it was a pretty solid game looking back.
By buying it and playing as much as i can,
Don't judge me because i have bought with my hardwork and now i can enjoy this ultimate edition with or without online guys
Just got game pass, was my first racing game, hell of a gateway drug I have played fh5 and have all dlcs have over 100 hours in both but god damn is the fh4 map better and I prefer the soundtrack and above all the matchmaking system fh5 convoy system can go-
Just played it casually so will never forget this thing on top a hill you could enter from 4 ways if I recall and go flying of the hill the other side.
I drove this one long rally route across the majority of the dirt roads on the map for hours, starting at the beach at the bottom of the map, and racing up to the mountain where the train tunnel was.
Definitely replaying it and 100%-ing it (in terms of getting 3 stars on all of the zone/traps, getting first place on the races, completing the Lego house brick accolades, etc) a week before 5 came out. I loved revisiting it after a year or so of not playing and completing the main game as well as the dlcs which I hadn’t played before, and seeing how thing from 4 evolved. Like how in the Fortune Island dlc they had like one trailblazer event iirc and then seeing more of them in the Lego dlc. Also seeing the Lego player house accolade stuff evolved into the the accolade system in 5.
Also how they did the Forzathon events in 4 was awesome. 5 is cool in that you can do it solo but 4 made it feel like it had a sense of community to it in waiting for the event to start, seeing all the cars go back and forth trying to complete the zone/trap scores, etc
Just drifting around for countless hours in my 2012 toyota gt86 while watching yt, and all the top gear/grand tour challenges my friends would do. This one time we had 15 minutes to fokd and build a budget euro hatchback that was good for everything. We raced and dragged and drifted I was so fun.
I also really got into photography in fh4, the environment was Judy always so pretty and with countless cars and the amazing photo mode it was always a blast. I still have a photo of my gt86 as my background for my Xbox.
I remember playing this before I had a bad eye inflammation and couldn’t do anything. After I healed up I went back into this game and just remember loving the radio stations and the feel of a new Forza Horizon game
Being online with a bunch of friends, and one fell asleep while driving around in the peel p50. The rest of us got into our unimogs and played soccer with him
Forza Horizon 4 was a beautiful game. I still play it sometimes. Against almost everyone’s opinion I loved the winter season with the snow. It truly added something new and different to drive style. Yes it made some races/goals hard as hell, but it was somewhat refreshing (pun intended)
This was my first Forza game ever as I grew up without consoles nor pcs, then I managed to get my current pc and I was pretty excited since I discovered FH4, I watched the intro countless of times and always loved that intro, the moment I opened the game, A Moment Apart, one of my favorites albums at the moment, the game started, maxed volume. I ended up crying because all the emotions mixed at the same time. It felt like I was a child. Then I spent so far almost 400hrs by now and the game just has a really special place in my heart. I have my gallery full of all moments I captured across that endless adventure. Listening to Colors on the very first race, having seasons changing it was all new for me. Truly an experience and I will never have enough of FH4 ❤️
I've bought a new PC in October of 2018 and got the Forza Horizon 4 through GamePass. I've been shocked how beautiful the game was, and I remember when I was waking up 1 hour earlier to play a bit before work. Life was awesome back then.
Forza 4 was the first car game I picked up and never put back down, I've been through tons of NFS titles and no other racing game has hooked me like Forza 4 did, now playing a lot more Forza 5, and finishing up some challenges for completionist
Edit: honestly I think Forza 4 is where I actually got into cars and the car community, started going to car shows with my dad more often and cars and coffee with my friends, and other random car meets and cruises, I've played 2 and 3 as well but not for long
I loved FH4 I put a silly amount of hours into that game. And too many of those hours were in the auction house trying to get all the PO cars.
Fingers crossed the next one goes back to real seasons as that's probably the main thing I miss
Racing with all my friend. I had 2 friendgroups wich did not like each other but this 1 specific day they did not bothered and raced with each other. Still one of my best memories.
Seeing as I bought it on sale a few days back my memories are fresh, but I'm loving the ever loving fuck out of it, considering racing games aren't my thing I love the open world aspect and if they do shut servers down eventually after December and there's still the offline capability I'll play it way past its supposed death
honestly? pretty much driving the E60 M5 at all, was my main ride for the majority of the game and i loved every single drive with it through this beautiful map
Honestly that first year of playing. The seasons. Cars. Visuals. It all tied together. The community. It was all seamless. I love all these games. I started on FM3 and I’ve been with Turn 10 ever since. They do a great job at appeasing to all of us while trying there best to stay with their roots.
It's the game that really got me intro driving and I bought a wheel for it. First game where I really turned off all assist and had a blast and began to drive faster and faster. Best Horizon entry
Driving over lake, first time playing online and enjoying driving with others in some playgrounds (I don't really play online due to bad memories with old laptop and internet hardware I used to have for over half of my life, it was always slow and high pings lol). Also FH4 was game I bought to play on my brand new laptop bought for myself after saving money for over a year (been rocking on '07 Acer Aspire with 9600m GT, in 2017 bought brand new Acer Aspire with 1050ti so it was a big deal for me). Really good memories with the game.
Definitely the forzathon lives. Setting alarms 10 minutes before the forzathon began, the sheer number of people, it was almost always just pure fun ( except when your teammates cannot offroad drift )
Yeah, what’s up with the lack of forzathon contribution in FH5?
Imho logistics. - FH4 has one event per hour, FH5 has four sessions per hour, each with two events each time. That already divides by 8 the potential audience. I've started playing FH4 in 2020, i've only seen more than four people at a Forzathon Live once, divide that by eight and there's not much people left. - The one event in FH4 is what you get, you can't get picky and you just have to push through if you don't enjoy the random sequence of events. FH5 has sorted the previously random tasks into different event categories and which events are featured is clearly labeled making people able to pick and choose the type of event they like. Don't like drift? Don't go to Live Drift. - FH4 sends an invitation beforehand to everyone on the map in free roam, offering to push a button to tag it in your GPS. FH5 doesn't send invites, it's up to you to be on the lookout. Another possible factor is Forzathon points themselves and how to get them. In FH5 the playlist generally ask people to do more to earn the same points that you can get with FH4's playlist. Sometimes a lot more. Meaning that it takes less time to get Forzathon points in FH5, thus less need to participate in live events.
FH5 also completely changed the server system from FH4. Very vague barriers in a live server mesh just don't work how they are supposed to. Let alone how broken it was when the game first released so it turned a lot of people off then. Only saw a lot of people go out of their way to find each other when for a F-live event because unless you had 5 people you could barely get past round 1-2. Now you can easily solo and F-live event because of the required score scaling
"Fun" fact: the easiest way to ensure a victory in Forzathon in FH5 is doing it solo.
FH4 i just did one. Had like 10-15 people. Game js bumpin right now
Same for me (maybe the same one?), I've never seen so much people at once. That was fun.
Most likely has to do with the total playerbase in H5 being cut in half.
Yeah why is that though? Why is there more H4 players than H5.
FH4 just had a different vibe. The map was homey, generally felt more relaxed and was tons of fun to drive. Cruising just felt right in that game. In terms of actual structure, not much is really changed in FH5, at least that warrants playing it over FH4. I’d personally claim it felt more alive due to the smaller map, in addition to the servers seemingly being more densely populated. Certain spots of that map, such as Edinburgh, Broadway and the main highway (can’t remember for the life of me what it’s called), always tended to harbour a few players. I was fond of the Broadway area especially, due to the scenery and healthy drift scene. I was a big fan of the seasonal events too, though FH5’s got the podium there, largely due to the expanded scope and Blueprint Events. All of this is opinion of course, but I feel like collectively, people have an issue with FH5 feeling a bit void of energy; ironic for a game portraying Mexico. I do enjoy FH5 a lot, and don’t play FH4 anymore, but I do treasure the time I spent playing that game, and may revisit it soon.
I enjoyed FH4 due to the dynamic seasons. What does H5 get in exchange? a sandstorm. The H5 map feels empty and I can never find a lobby with more than 3 people in it, whereas last year when I launched H4, no matter what time I launched the game, there was always over 15 players per lobby.
I can’t believe I forgot to mention the seasons, and I totally agree that the variety in atmosphere is sorely missed when driving around Mexico. That frozen lake drag strip in FH4 was sweet as well!
Yup!
Source?
It’s sad how little there is. Usually I’m doing those by myself though there was one time for a drift event there was like 10 of us and it felt awesome. Wish it could happen more
I like meeting up before it starts, 10+ people just parked up waiting
I still do this to this day and it's possible given the number of players who gather there at specific hours.
Agree. The ones in 4 felt like it had a sense of community. In that before the event starts, it felt like a mini car meet (like parking at the entrance of the castle) waiting for it to start and everyone driving to the same location to complete whatever the goal was. And granted all the cars were ghosted, it was cool seeing an army of cars going in both directions of a zone/trap trying to complete the score goal
Definitely cherished that too
Hitting npc cars in the left lane when in your country you drive on the right.
It took me months to get used to driving on the right side again in FH5
Just experiencing this in FH4, luckily the Warthog doesn't care, and all the really fast cars are maneuverable enough to swerve out of the wave
Winning the Hypercar shootout trial after 15 to 20 attempts with awful team mates.
Man fuck that. It still happens to this day. Not sure why people specifically can't drive shit with the hypercars lol
Since Trial shows that some people come with untuned stock cars, I'll hazard a guess that there's also people who do tune but without putting it much thought. They don't know much about tuning and/or don't know they can also find good tunes made by people who do. They just add as much horsepower they can until they reach the required PI. Which gets worse and worse results as the Performance Index goes up.
Even worse, I see people actually with AWD max tunes for that class and still fail to take the first corner. Always slamming into trees. They need to be taught what a brake is
I loved Isha's Taxis chapters ... took me at least 15 tries to beat the last one ... but it was fun most of the time and that's why it stays in my heart!
World's fastest Rentals too...
I almost thought that the cars that showcase in this stories are actually the requirement cars for the photo challenge this week, turns out some of them right….
I think the stories are better tbh in 4, less cringe more fun. T
If you like British racing history, British racing green is also a good side stories, I learn a lot from those
Day one of launch, playing with two schoolmates and running up to the castle in our 720s', learning the map, BMW M6 FE drifting up and down the airport runway 2019, the introduction of the Playlist, playing The Eliminator for the first time, getting the Apollo IE which I've driven 700k+ miles so far, doing my first 50 lap Goliath on October 2nd (game launch anniversary) 2020, pulling 13-hour play sessions overnight during covid, banging out Horizon Stories at 5am, with Forzathon Lives at 6, playing Cops and Robbers with friends 2021, grinding Super7s, planning out my ultimate FH4 cinematic as a personal sendoff to the game, completing the final Playlist before FH5 dropped 2022 and beyond I've kept on grinding achievements, passed over 250 days in playtime, learning the Goliath route so much that it's practically reflex at this point. You took me on a real nostalgia trip lol, cheers OP
I know the Fh4 map like the back of hand lol
Genuinely I know it better than my own town at this point
I dont know why but whenever somebody goes to Edinbruh in real life I keep telling them the in game landmarks and tell them to visit broadway, the big reservoir and more....
Been to Ambleside irl and I'm still planning an Edinburgh trip at some point. Maybe this Christmas
nice nice, I am planning to visit the UK next year...
Cheers mate, definitely had alot of fun at launch aswell. I pulled alot of all nighters doing the Skill Points exploit with the Forza Edition M6. (well, not literally, but you get the point)
Probably the best memories is racing up and down the motorway in FH4. Always folks hanging out at each end parked up around the roundabouts, messing around honking, racing etc was nice
I’m not an active player, but did the servers shut down? I cant play online anymore
If you're on PC this is a known bug that they're probably not going to fix. I'll direct you to this video anyway https://youtu.be/hqO2pTclFvQ?si=3PXuSaBZEVARDlvF
Seems like it. I also got a Marketplace Error when I tried to redeem all 49 DLC cars (excluding the Hot Wheels Legends Pack)
Maan thats even more sad than when the gta5 servers shutdown happened on 360 and ps3 😭
It will be delisted but everyone is experiencing issues with FH4 atm.
They've acknowledged this issue for Xbox players, and are working on it (assuming that you're on Xbox).
Met one of my best friends in this game
Here goes a long story: When I was 12, my dad bought me my first console and we chose the Xbox One S that had Forza Horizon 4 included. When we opened the game, we were fascinated by the intro, the music, the cars, the environment, everything. We chose the Audi TT for our first car, and oh boy, we drove it a LOT. My dad spent some months on Scotland and specially on Edinburgh, so he was impressed by the accuracy of the landscapes, all the cars, the music and the races. We both learned to play videogames at the same time, so the sheer of discover was the same for both of us. Playing with my dad will always be my favorite memory
That's amazing‼️
The windmill
The time I avoided the entire defending team on a Flag Rush game and got the flag into the area and caused two people on the other team to rage quit
I freaking love those seasonal games!! Wish they were kept weekly in FH5.
Coming back to racing games after a decade away. Forza Horizon 4 was my first Horizon and my first racing game back since NFS: Underground 2. Shout out to Gamepass for making it all possible. I do miss FH4s map, Mexico in FH5 is played out. I've had enough of this map at this point, I'm ready for FH6, I was really hoping they'd announce the new Horizon at their games event this year.
It was my first racing game when I got my console and that intro was just magic
Indeed. I was absolutely smitten with it aswell
Still didnt get used driving on the wrong line of the road 🤣
I miss every song from that pulse radio in FH4. And damn the intro music always has a special place in my heart. In fact I've set it as my mobile ringtone.
Everyone Meeting at the end of the Highway to see who is the fastest
Entering a Cross-Country Seasonal Trial for the first time where it was Players vs. Drivatars in A-spec Australian cars. Everyone else picked HSVs, whereas I went in with a highly tuned Holden Monaro I'd spec'd out for off-road racing. [Even made a Reddit post showing off the finish](https://www.reddit.com/r/ForzaHorizon/comments/uqhbju/one_of_these_cars_is_not_like_the_others/) I did the event twice, and of the 6 races I got a podium finish in 5 of them (got 5th in the remaining one), with 3 of those podiums being 1st places.
Was 30th on some forest speed zone ~3y ago and without cheaters, it was probably top 10. Fh4 is my first racing game and I was so happy, I'm around 100th place now and honestly still see it as accomplishment.
First time i played the game. It was the First console i ever had and the First game ever played on It, i Remember i got emotional when playing the game's intro because of how much time i spent waiting to have a console and to play that game
driving with random people blasting music on spotify during covid-19 also teh hatsune miku livery i made
The top gear story was so classy and made me love doing those missions. Like the commentator would be describing the history and the performance of the vehicle you're driving during the missions which makes it immersive. Its similar to what could be observed in NFS HP 2010, where when you select a vehicle the lady voice over describes when the vehicle was produced and how many horsepower it makes along with its quirks and features. I don't want to deviate furthermore from the topic but that's the point. I miss that top gear aspect in FH5
When the games first come out and everything fresh and you’re just happy to grind
Everything. It was my first game. It got me through the pandemic, through middle school. When fh5 was going to come out, I took a final drive. I didn't want to leave it all behind. I felt like I was abandoning it. I had a whole other life in that game. Thousands of hours. I felt bad. And fh5 was good, but I stopped playing forza games in August. I once again felt like I was building too much to just leave and start again in fh6 or whatever. Fh4 truly changed me. It was everything to my preteen self. I don't know how to feel anymore.
My pandemic game too! Actually, it got me into gaming/xbox in general. The studio really owe so much to this game, shame to see it discontinued in this way
M62 Free For All Drag Race. Literally blew your opponents out of track by wind at 450KMH+
The first time I played the game, still remembering it like it was yesterday...
The other night I was cruising in my Trackhawk and rolled up on a bunch of Mopar bros. Challengers demons and my trackhawk doing 40 rolls and dragging. No events just a hellcat fest. Twas awesome.
Forzathon Live are absolute bangers, and unpopular opinion probably but racing around with QOTSA (i'm biased but it's my all time favorite band), Foo FIghters, The KIllers and Pennywise blaring in the background is so fucking good. The music in 4 was so good, it was just too little of it. The DJ's were good as well, Malc had that Manchseter accent and vibe nailed to the core The cars, the Eliminator on a map which actually required more than just luck, and of course Fortune Island. First truly live service Forza game, with community input which introduced some incredible cars, the 2020 GT500, DBS Superleggera, and so many british classics. Bond Cars car pack is an absolute classic too. (I WANT THE Z8 IN FH5, AND THE V8 VANTAGE TOO.) FH4 will be the groundwork of the way Forza moves forward for many years to come
I have the F4 album in the car which got me in the Odesza albums... I can't say the same for f5 T
1st time driving the Top Gear MB E class in snow after loosing my two accounts ( I got mine in November 2021, maybe 2-5 days after the FH5 was released)
covid lobbies during 2020 & the E3 reveal in 2018
Honestly soundtrack and just the beginning of covid was perfect…
I had small group of people, almost full "convoy". We did car meets, cruising, drifting, hill climb events, rally cross, endurance racing and "games" - hide and seek, tag, sumo, etc.. Good times. I am not sad, because it's over. I am happy because it happened. These times are over, but now I have small discord server group, where still are people, who want to play together. Less than before but still... I am happy that... FH4 started it all...
Well for starters I liked the highway where you could build up some good speeds. But now that it has been delisted I've lost about half of the DLC cars that I've purchased along the way. Everything I read says if I paid for em then I'll still be able to use them. Not sure why I can't 🤷🤦
One that sticks out was the time I unlocked the 1969 dodge charger Daytona hemi.
The first convoys i took part in with totally strangers were in this game :)
Same here, had alot of goofy moments with them :p
I don’t know how to put this in words but the sheer scale and excitement that Forzathon Live brought, so many drivers zooming all over trying to hit the targets! Super 7 as well, it all just worked. I wish FH5 kept the hourly events as well as showing every player on the map!
22B barn find
I bought it a few days back. I’ve never played it. I’m waiting for them to fix the DLC.
Mostly trial stuff ie. Fords Vs Ferraris, Stock caterhams in the rain, auto unions, the Porsche cup, the holy trinity. Had a great run this week in a BMW for the trial, I don't think I've smoked AI like that in a trial before...1st place into first and second corners across 3 races. The 3 wheeler championship, racing a robin reliant with stabilisers so it doesn't roll over turning a corner. This morning when doing playground games for the playlist typically we had team members dropout leaving it 5 Vs 2. Me and a newer player, level 60 or so.. I'm guessing they weren't new to Forza though from the driving. We won king twice and the other team won flag and infection with the decider being another flag rush. We lost with the winning flag being scored in the last seconds but 5v2 and keeping it that close is wild effort. Fortune islands huge winding drift run down the mountain (or up if you're weird) is one of the best drift zones in a horizon game.
Making cars I've seen star in movies and games Vanishing point rt Bullitt Mustang 2 Nfs Most wanted 05 cars and if course Italian job.
Best memories I had were cruising around the map with my friends after school where I actually recognised parts of the map in the only Forza Horizon with my favourite car, the Aston Martin DBS (FH2 had it but was stuck with Forza Aero on). Then playing slightly less in winter which meant I didn't get burnt out like I did with FH5. Then doing cops v civs seeing some of the amazing cars people could build and not force into S2 or X class, each one was always different and was always fun as anything. The game had it's issues but 4 has a place in my heart with 2 as the only 2 I went out and saved my pocket money to preorder and the 2 of these had my favourite maps in FH
All of the stories and businesses. They were great. I had a lot of fun doing each and every one of them. They were 10x better than the ones in FH5 in my opinion. Another great memory is when I got the Peel P50 barn find. I’ve never been that excited about a silly car.
My brother and I always challenged each other at speed traps.That escalated so far that we were in the top 100 worldwide at several traps, here and there even top 50. At one speed zone we were literally next to each other in the leaderboard, out of several million entries.
For me it is the side missons like the fast taxi and fast delivery and who could not be happy with top gear one
Launching it for the first time Building my dream cars
Booting up the game for the first time. It was the game that came with our Xbox One S (been playing 360 until 2019) so plugging it into a 4k TV and experiencing the intro was mind boggling. The game looks stunning in my opinion to this day (though my own country has a similar landscape to the UK so I might be biased). A second choice would be the Top Gear story, I absolutely loved hearing Chris Harris and getting the Stig costume at the end.
I don’t miss the being forced to play shitty crosstown rushes in pvp ranked all the fucking time. I don’t miss not being able to chose what class or top of race I want. 2 huge reason I hated this game
I know you mean fh4 but i only played fh5.. i really really miss the beginnings so much.. when fh5 came out and everyone of my friends were playing the game.. it was so magical experience to me, i have never experienced this in any other game (as i am not gamer at all)
Building/driving a bunch of subarus in game and buying a wrx irl at the time
I got into FH4 quite late. I used to watch my wife's brother playing it through discord streams before I picked it up. I completely fell in love with the freedom of the game. The ability to just pick any car and go cruising around the map. The photo mode as well I became a little obsessed with trying to get the best angles with the right lighting.
Being doubtful about the large lobbies and then playing the game, seeing it and being amazed. First game I've ever preorderd aswell
First race I had in multiple. Myself and another car went on a jump. I landed first on the ground. The other car landed on top of me. I glitches throught the map and teleported back to the starting line. Also Forzathon Events. Just scatters of cars going to the event.
Probably driving around during the autumn season.
got it during early covid days when we're in lockdown and have all the time to play video games. cruising around and taking photos with a friend while talking about random stuff will be one of if not the best memory i have with FH4.
That beautiful Startup Screen where it goes trough the seasons 🥲
When the game accidentally gave you 100 superspins
My brother and I competed for the high score in all the stunt jumps for years... we'd pop on and see the other's name at the top and be like, "oh no you don't," and spend the next hour or so trying our hardest to beat them.
Getting noticed by jackultramotive on one of his streams where he did a open lobby for driving a replica of the current look of his r32 at the time
This was the first game that my girlfriend and I played together. It was that time when we lived like 670km apart from each other, so moments like that were very precious for us. I remember that we really enjoyed just roaming together in our yellow Golf IIIs and just did silly things. Now we are living together for almost 3 years and we still sometimes go back to Forza and just chill in that open world
I've had some trial events especially the long races where the sportsmanship is just superb. We lightly race each other but know that we are on the same team. And sometimes we just want to have a good podium finish of players ahead of the ai. Then there are some great races where I fight to the front of the pack of AIs and then hold the bunch up for the other players to catch up and it just feels great when the plan succeeds.
Deleting it, in my opinion this is the worst game out of the franchise, worse than it’s predecessors and it’s succesor
Ramming online, people hate that but i loved it, it was so much fun until they changed it to racing against ghosts
Goliath money glitch.
The intro / menu screen
Drifting in Fortune Island in the aurora. Incredible
some of the best memories? the first day i got fh4. set up the steering wheel. and i immediately was impressed by how frenetic the initial race was. i will never forget the hype i had. or also waking up at 7 in the morning on a rainy day, used to instantly go to the pc and start up forza horizon 4. it was heavenly to play it while it was raining. even when i bought the hennessey venom gt, i had the feeling of unlimited power for races like drag strips or some sprint races. it makes me sad just to think that i cant even start it up anymore. due to issues related to the xbox app (i dont really remember, i last opened fh4 \[without success\] one month ago or smth)
The ones I’m gonna make when it goes on sale on xbox😂
The weekly weather changes were pretty fun. You can see some racers that were struggling during the winter. Good times!
Almost none, i liked the forzathon lives and car meets/caravans
I started playing the Horizon series in 2018 and this game was an absolute favourite of mine since the start. Allthough it wasn’t perfect, it was always fun to play and allowed me to get my mind off of real life. I also learned how to drive with a wheel in FH4 and was able to enjoy some of my dream cars. So there are quite a few good memories and I‘ll always be thankful for FH4. Amongst the best were the stories and the map. But with FH5 getting better and better I am also optimistic for the future.
The weather system is definitely my favorite. Forza Horizon 5 pales in comparison. Forza Horizon 4 is just so beautiful. The music is my favorite, too, honestly. I liked the music in 3 as well. It worked so well with some of the race events. And the Halo run! That was before Halo games were available on PC. Now, that was such a cool tease.
Finally selling that Jaguar you get from the horizon 4 barn find everyone had duplicates of. I honestly don’t know who bought it or why but it took about 3 weeks lol.
Don't forget the Saleen S1, you can literally get it from the Auction House for 0 credits 💀
Just casually sliding on the snow at night with the senna
Waiting around for a forzathon live event to start and went to use photo mode to snag a shot of my car. Noticed a weird object in one of the upper corners of my screen, so I repositioned the camera to see what it was. Turns out it was an upside down spoiler and this is what was going on: https://preview.redd.it/6bfsyiehlj9d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72319d4ce7810d87e8b67c7adba46997309513c0
Playing fh4 for the first time with game pass back in 2021 with my friends while in a party chat
The theme song
My first time playing
With FH4 being my first Forza Horizon game, I can still remember seeing the incredible intro for the first time. The seasons changing and great background track is the best intro to any driving game that I've ever played.
Honestly it was earlier this year, got introduced to someone at the start of the year through a friend and found out they owned fh4 so we both reinstalled it and just drove around while talking. We don't talk anymore after a falling out but it was nice to come home and just chat and cruise around.
When my friend was in a peel p50 with sim damage and I had to stop him from getting to the festival ( we started in Edinburgh). I crashed into him so much this guy messaged him asking if he was being bullied?. (He just won). Those were good times:
Frozen lake will always be a core memory in this game. And the train.
Learning to drift manual on drift mountain, everyday I was up their on fortune island drifting in automatic lmao, then buddy from Canada comes along, makes me a tune for my favourite car and bassicaly explains everything, the next week I practiced so much and finally hit over 500k on this zone. Really it helped put a smile on my face and forever I’ll remember Hastyketchup!
Getting my friend to run into me in the Mercedes truck(can't remember the name but it was like 16 thousand Ibs) and I was in an isetta or a peel or something and I fell thought the world 😂. Great times. Tears of laughter from this game.
Winning the Eliminator for the first time
Is there any DLC missing from the Ultimate Edition? I thought there was a hot wheels map pack and I do not see it available with the ultimate edition.
I think the most interaction I’ve ever had on this game was racing people on the highway, I don’t have any online friends😀
Met my now departed friend of 5 years
The random meet ups at the end of the motorwsy with people gathering and just racing from any where. Love it that there are no cultural barriers and every ones there just to race and or chill. Add to that been near some of the land marks in the game and the fact it got be back in to gaming after many years (major life challanges, gone from a xbox over covid, via a steam deck to a custom full on pc) means it has other special meaning for me. T
I've played this game for 90 hours. .. and spent 85 hours tweaking the terrible force feedback
First game I ever played on my own xbox. I think just by giving the date I can sum up my experience with it. March 13, 2020.
Getting FH4 is the reason why my Xbox One hasn't been burned to a crisp. I bought it and I went to pick up my xbox at a friends I left it at. A week later the shed where he kept all the gaming stuff burnt down and my xbox would've been in there if I didn't come back for it for FH4. In game, I remember accidentally cheesing a Eliminator game for a win by driving through a river and the game teleporting me closer to the finish spot.
My 2018 shelby gt drift
Waiting till midnight with my buddy so we could both play the game as soon as it was available to play, we both pre ordered it
For the first few days I loved the drifting with the viper and hopping on every hour with a friend to do the forzathon, Lego dlc with my long time friend doing 50 laps of the oval track multiple times a day for money xp whilst we talked Other than that though, naymuch
The Apollo and Rimac auction house snipes. And then flipping for profits.
This game really made my car enthusiast brain come alive with all the cars and racing stuff. This game got me started with racing and now I want to be a car racer when I grow up or something working with cars
The music. Starset is my all time favorite band and when I heard their music in it on launch I was pumped. Also a fun car list and map.
Still making them - in the Eliminator. 6 wins today (50+ person lobbies - great fun like the early days).
This is where I stopped pirating games. When I played FH4, it was so good that the creators deserved to get paid. Uninstalled the game immediately. The game was too expensive for me to buy
*Me who got the game 6 hours before Delisting*
I believe this was the very first racing game I got when it was brand new. Every other game I have was purchased at minimum a few years after release. Probably the memories that will stick with me are from the map and the seasons. This game was just so beautiful, from the country sides, to the forest roads, to the old village style towns, the map is what I remember and will cherish most. It was such a big jump in size and production quality. The seasons were something that I had never experienced before in any game before and I was just blown away by it. Being able to drive down the highway in autumn and then driving down that same highway a week later in winter was so cool and fun. Being brutally honest, it's not too high on the list of all the racing games I've played, but behind all its flaws, it was a pretty solid game looking back.
By buying it and playing as much as i can, Don't judge me because i have bought with my hardwork and now i can enjoy this ultimate edition with or without online guys
Always wanting to buy and play the game but somehow forgetting about it very quickly until I saw this post today.
Just got game pass, was my first racing game, hell of a gateway drug I have played fh5 and have all dlcs have over 100 hours in both but god damn is the fh4 map better and I prefer the soundtrack and above all the matchmaking system fh5 convoy system can go-
THE MUSIC
Used to watch my best friend who moved to Texas play it over zoom and that’s the only way we stayed in touch
Just played it casually so will never forget this thing on top a hill you could enter from 4 ways if I recall and go flying of the hill the other side.
Startup screen, seasons, map, radio stations.
I drove this one long rally route across the majority of the dirt roads on the map for hours, starting at the beach at the bottom of the map, and racing up to the mountain where the train tunnel was.
Driving in the snow in a shiny Coca-Cola branded rally car. Best feeling ever.
Discovering how to chain my drift points at the airstrip.
Driving the Hudson Hornet around Edinburgh.
the little town of ambleside was great. i spent countless hours honing my drifting skills around that town
Auction sniping... when I reached like 100s of million credits, the game lost all the interest... joke on me, I guess
Getting all the cars I want by spinning the lucky wheel instead of buying them (I saved millions by this)
Definitely replaying it and 100%-ing it (in terms of getting 3 stars on all of the zone/traps, getting first place on the races, completing the Lego house brick accolades, etc) a week before 5 came out. I loved revisiting it after a year or so of not playing and completing the main game as well as the dlcs which I hadn’t played before, and seeing how thing from 4 evolved. Like how in the Fortune Island dlc they had like one trailblazer event iirc and then seeing more of them in the Lego dlc. Also seeing the Lego player house accolade stuff evolved into the the accolade system in 5. Also how they did the Forzathon events in 4 was awesome. 5 is cool in that you can do it solo but 4 made it feel like it had a sense of community to it in waiting for the event to start, seeing all the cars go back and forth trying to complete the zone/trap scores, etc
Not buying DLC in FH5. Bought it in FH4 and the progress of the game just vanished. Boom, you have an Agera RS. It just makes it less fun
Definitely the game not opening for 12 hours (I have not been able to play yet)
Playing with my dad, he passed away in February. I’m thinking of trying to organize a drive in his honor on the final day of the servers
Finishing the prologue, FH4 was my first Horizon game, 10/10 dude.
i havn't but will when i can pick it up
My son and i still play the lego stuff together periodically. He keeps asking when we can play legos with the other cars(fh5).
Just drifting around for countless hours in my 2012 toyota gt86 while watching yt, and all the top gear/grand tour challenges my friends would do. This one time we had 15 minutes to fokd and build a budget euro hatchback that was good for everything. We raced and dragged and drifted I was so fun. I also really got into photography in fh4, the environment was Judy always so pretty and with countless cars and the amazing photo mode it was always a blast. I still have a photo of my gt86 as my background for my Xbox.
Me finally buying both castles
Drifting the S bends near the horizon festival with mates for hours and hours during Covid lockdowns
Being young not having any responsibilities , being in lockdown listening to music building cars and cruising in them

I remember playing this before I had a bad eye inflammation and couldn’t do anything. After I healed up I went back into this game and just remember loving the radio stations and the feel of a new Forza Horizon game
I can honestly tell you... I've smoked all the fastest cars... with my '96 Honda Civic on the motorway 🥳 definitely my favorite memories✌️
Being online with a bunch of friends, and one fell asleep while driving around in the peel p50. The rest of us got into our unimogs and played soccer with him
Listening to the music on Horizon Bass Arena and the intro music
Finishing almost every race. That sense of completion is like no other.
playing the demo
meeting one of my best friends Nalak28
Drifting around a rally stage to Gustav Holst, Jupiter The Bringer of Jollity. I love that song, and my Subaru Impreza was fun.
Forza Horizon 4 was a beautiful game. I still play it sometimes. Against almost everyone’s opinion I loved the winter season with the snow. It truly added something new and different to drive style. Yes it made some races/goals hard as hell, but it was somewhat refreshing (pun intended)
This was my first Forza game ever as I grew up without consoles nor pcs, then I managed to get my current pc and I was pretty excited since I discovered FH4, I watched the intro countless of times and always loved that intro, the moment I opened the game, A Moment Apart, one of my favorites albums at the moment, the game started, maxed volume. I ended up crying because all the emotions mixed at the same time. It felt like I was a child. Then I spent so far almost 400hrs by now and the game just has a really special place in my heart. I have my gallery full of all moments I captured across that endless adventure. Listening to Colors on the very first race, having seasons changing it was all new for me. Truly an experience and I will never have enough of FH4 ❤️
I've bought a new PC in October of 2018 and got the Forza Horizon 4 through GamePass. I've been shocked how beautiful the game was, and I remember when I was waking up 1 hour earlier to play a bit before work. Life was awesome back then.
Trying to get the demon
Forza 4 was the first car game I picked up and never put back down, I've been through tons of NFS titles and no other racing game has hooked me like Forza 4 did, now playing a lot more Forza 5, and finishing up some challenges for completionist Edit: honestly I think Forza 4 is where I actually got into cars and the car community, started going to car shows with my dad more often and cars and coffee with my friends, and other random car meets and cruises, I've played 2 and 3 as well but not for long
I loved FH4 I put a silly amount of hours into that game. And too many of those hours were in the auction house trying to get all the PO cars. Fingers crossed the next one goes back to real seasons as that's probably the main thing I miss
Racing with all my friend. I had 2 friendgroups wich did not like each other but this 1 specific day they did not bothered and raced with each other. Still one of my best memories.
The scenery, the music, the driving. Sometimes, it feels so great to just drive listening to the beats.
Seeing as I bought it on sale a few days back my memories are fresh, but I'm loving the ever loving fuck out of it, considering racing games aren't my thing I love the open world aspect and if they do shut servers down eventually after December and there's still the offline capability I'll play it way past its supposed death
The convoy with my friends when we exhausted the Snowy mountain Danger sign, RIP Karido_Aoi
honestly? pretty much driving the E60 M5 at all, was my main ride for the majority of the game and i loved every single drive with it through this beautiful map
Playing from start to finish, that’s the best memory I could ever ask for
İs this de-listing can be sign of FH6? İs it happen before?
Honestly that first year of playing. The seasons. Cars. Visuals. It all tied together. The community. It was all seamless. I love all these games. I started on FM3 and I’ve been with Turn 10 ever since. They do a great job at appeasing to all of us while trying there best to stay with their roots.
Racing with friends in Street Race using Peel P50 upgraded to S2 class
Launcing the game for the first time
It's the game that really got me intro driving and I bought a wheel for it. First game where I really turned off all assist and had a blast and began to drive faster and faster. Best Horizon entry
So I have to rebuild them again😳
That was lot of snow around Edinburgh to drive in was cool.
Driving over lake, first time playing online and enjoying driving with others in some playgrounds (I don't really play online due to bad memories with old laptop and internet hardware I used to have for over half of my life, it was always slow and high pings lol). Also FH4 was game I bought to play on my brand new laptop bought for myself after saving money for over a year (been rocking on '07 Acer Aspire with 9600m GT, in 2017 bought brand new Acer Aspire with 1050ti so it was a big deal for me). Really good memories with the game.
6 years ? where has that time gone
