FORZA HORIZON 4 MOVIE

Regular races, dirt/rally events and street races unsanctioned by the main Horizon Festival form the backbone, and are augmented by other events such as a movie stuntman side-quest and Showcase events. The campaign mode returns with some slight alterations from Forza Horizon 3. Happily, there's a vast array of cars for whatever driving experience takes your fancy 450+ cars from over 100 manufacturers adds up to the most varied roster in any Forza Horizon to date.

Pro tip lll-wheel drive cars like the Ford Focus RS, Subaru Impreza or Nissan GTR are your friend, and like most British farmers, keep a Land Rover or equivalent 4X4 vehicle in the garage for when you fancy exploring the high peaks in the depths of winter. Wet and snowy roads mean mega-powerful hypercars are a real challenge to drive especially on simulation physics, and each season lends itself to cars of different types.Įven in the dry, crests and bumps in the road can easily unsettle cars at high speed, causing the player to skid off the road and through a field sideways as herds of sheep scatter asunder. And this all has a marked effect on the gameplay. Leaves blowing across the road in autumn gives way to snowy vistas and frozen lakes in the depths of winter, before the spring breeze freshens the landscape up in time for summer to roll around and players to whip out the convertibles for a blast down the coast. With the new locale comes a brand new feature of dynamic seasons, with each one affecting weather conditions, gameplay and even map exploration.

Overall, it's still a gorgeous experience not even Top Gear made driving through the English countryside look this good. Given I was running on low graphical presets, it certainly wasn't a dealbreaker at all, and it should be less of an issue on higher-spec systems and Xbox One X. One slight issue was moderate pop-in at medium and long distance, with AI cars and roadside objects very obviously spawning in and textures sometimes struggling to load in time.

Playing the game through Xbox Live on Windows 10 on my mid-tier PC rig, everything ran rock-solid even in the heaviest rain or snow conditions with no noticeable framerate drops. The game overall looks absolutely fabulous, with the graphics and lighting picking out every weather and scenic detail.

Though it may feel picture-postcard in its perfection, the in-game world definitely has an authentically British feel to it – an appropriate homecoming for UK-based Playground Games, whose care and attention to detail you can feel all in every mile you drive.

The feel of the great British countryside is captured in wonderful detail, right down the road signs, the flora and fauna, and yes, the potholes.
