KillsquidEngage well playground games are a U.K. Company, one would assume they spent enough time in them that they can reproduce them with high fidelity
I live in michigan, we have 4 seasons. starting construction, construction, still doing construction, and winter. and of course largely empty of people working on it.
So, Beach Huts and Caravans are not destructible, but you can happily plow through those short roadside bollards? Have you seen what happens to a car that hits those little ****ers? Mashed doesn't cover it. Even Chuck Norris stops a second to consider if it's worth hitting them. I mean, he does, in the end, but he thinks about it first. Suspension of disbelief shattered.
If this was actually British you'd spend approximately 90% of your time stuck behind a citreon picasso doing 40 in a 50 at peak commuter time. Or just stationary. Actually mostly that one.
All I got was armed men in black SUVs chasing me down while I was in my 2002 Honda Civic. They had sirens. There were also helicopters. What did I do wrong? It was just a field trip...
The first point about roundabouts should have had a caveat that said if you miss your exit then you`ll have to go all the way around again UNLESS you are driving a BMW or Audi then feel free just to cut in and then call the person you`ve nearly crashed into a wanker for daring to beep their horn.
Needs more small country roads where you have to back track for miles to find a way to let a car coming from the other direction through. Also the driver of that car has to be shouting at you and be rude as hell
Hahaha I know the feeling I had a taxi driver saying to me you shouldn't do that all I did was stall. Somewhere in the high way code I miss read the part about stalling is a criminal offence. As for the game it looks ace however there is a lack of Prius taxi oh and the famous Eddie stobart trucks
One thing they missed out was a digital version of Mike, sitting in one of those children's coin-operated racing car rides you find outside of supermarkets, going "Broom Broom!"
Roads are too wide Not enough pot holes Not enough traffic Not enough bad weather No chavs Not enough road rage Too many cobblestone walls Too much snow in winter Most cars are left hand side drive Not enough speed cameras Water is not blue such as lakes and oceans There’s no festivals blaring loud music everywhere No roadkill And lots more, I can’t call it british
This can't be fully accurate unless there's a button for sticking your spotty head out the window and shouting "Get yer fookin 'air cut!". Also if you crash into a lamppost you should have to wait around for your dad to come and give you a lift.
Your all wrong, the most British thing in this game is the truck at 4:40 It’s a travis Perkins lorry, carrying scaffolding poles. You can’t get more British than that
I want to see that blue, 3-wheeled thing from Mr Bean. It would be terrible as a racer but the sheer novelty of it would last for 10's of minutes, at least. I'd say that makes it totally worth putting in the game.
Yeah but NOT blue, murky-brown-yellow coloured, with 'Trotters Independent Traders' written on the side. Don't @ me till you get the reference America, fellow Brits, don't tell them shit :-)

The beautiful madness that is the roundabout has invaded the US. Several States have been slowly replacing choice intersections with them, and it delights me to no end how confused and disgruntled they make older drivers.
Hopefully the devs built the full UK experience: 36 varied & humanly impossible streams of expletives to hurl at the pillock who just cut you up (2) being undertaken doing 110 by a knackered off-white 2001 Ford Transit with 2 sets of ladders and a padlock keeping the back doors shut (3) Ginsters (other brands of pasty are available)
Removing the entire interior from a £1200 1.9 gti, replacing said interior with £800 bucket seats, 2x Vibe 12 subs + amps, a set of Infinity 6x9s, some Kenwood component front speakers and a decent Alpine head unit.... Swapping 1.9 for the 16v from an mi16, sticking £700 twin .45 carbs, piper cams...... ahhhh, my work here is done (jesus, that was 13 years ago!!!)
Imagine telling an american about roundabouts, and then explaining the beautiful madness that is Swindons' Magic Roundabout. 5 mini roundabouts with one massive roundabout in the middle.
I'm American. I used to live in a small town in Indiana. I hit 3 roundabouts on my way home from work. We know what roundabouts are. What we don't know is mini roundabouts that feed into massive ones. That crap is witchcraft and should be burned at the stake!

@@420sakura1 yep the Scottish developer was saying it in one of these UA-cam videos I was watching said a load of other amazing stuff to bro this games gunna be dope trust me
Since this video is highlighting a lot of the differences between the US and the UK, I remembered one observation that sums it up nicely. In America, people think 200 years is a long time. In Britain, people think 2 hours is a long car ride.
@R A It's true tho. I'm from Norway and the three hour drive to our cabin was a long drive. I currently live a couple hours north of Sydney, Aus and the oldest building here is around 200 years old
R A everyone in Britain probably thinks 2 hours is a long drive mainly because everything is relativity close compared to the U.S considering that the entire country is about the size of California and in the U.S people have to travel basically the same trip as driving across England to cross just one state ..... you cheeky Brit.
For added realism the outside lane of the motorway's are clogged with 'Nigel's, Keith's and Darren's' who drive company leased 5 series at 100mph and tailgate any other road user
A roundabout is a brilliant way to redesign a crossroads to keep traffic from all directions flowing without the need for automated traffic control systems such as traffic lights. This being Britain, we are now of course increasingly placing traffic lights on our roundabouts 🙄
Yeah same here, they build a roundabout, then when they see people don't know how to use them properly, they install traffic lights which causes huge traffic jams.
Christopher Thornton America does have roundabouts but we don't need them as much because we have more forethought into City planning so they aren't necessary everywhere
Or they just get rid of the roundabout and put up lights and signs indicating your not allowed to make a right hand turn, even though you need to turn right to get where you want to go and have to drive on to find a place you can actually turn around to allow you to come back to make that same turn, only from the opposite direction.
@@TheNephilimofEmpireCity Oh, we put forethought into our city planning too. Only thing is, we did it several hundred to a couple of thousand years ago.
"Upstart whippersnapper the US wouldn't be born for another 200 years" was probably my favourite bit :D A friend of mine from the US recently visited the Netherlands and he was absolutely amazed that the hotel he stayed in was in a building that's older than his country. Meanwhile I'm from the south of Germany and I grew up in a house that's older than the US :D
Beach Huts? Reminds me of Colin's beach hut project. Seriously, they should include everything UK in the game - Jeremy Clarkson as last boss, ColinFruze with all his jet powered vehicles, Mr.Bean appear randomly, race vs the Queen, The Stig randomly crash into race events and stole your win, Captain Slow driving... well... just driving slowly...
I'm Irish and can tell you a roundabout is a circular thing in the centre that you go round to get to the road you want to be on. It's also handy when you can't do a U-turn!
The unidentified castle where the festival is set looks similar to my towns castle, 'Kenilworth Castle' which incidentally is probably the second closest one to Playground games' Leamington Spa studio, after Warwick Castle :)
There better be a London DLC. How can you have a game about the UK and not include London?! On top of that, if there is a London DLC I better see young teens with balaclavas on chasing me with a 22 inch knife shouting "aye why you runnin' fam?!" when I enter West London.
They didn't include London 'cause it's a racing game. Driving 6 foot then stopping for 5 minutes then another 6 foot with another 5 minute stop wouldn't be very exciting would it?
They're very, very slowly being incorporated here in North America. The new mall near my parents in the Toronto area has a big one. I've never had a problem with roundabouts, despite rarely coming across them. And they are so much better than a four way stop, where you have to guess as to whether the other guy knows the right of way...
Slowly being incorporated? I mean sure we haven't had them as long as Britain but roundabouts have been in the states for 30+ years. I live in NY and find plenty but even traveling I've found them in other states.
In all fairness there is only 2 chip shops within a 15 minuet walk of my house, there are however 7-8 pubs within a 15-20min wall of my house. 3 are literally 30 seconds from eachother in a triangle on a high street and a side road
♫ SlamminUK ♫ same as Australia we drive on the left side of the road but on FH3 most cars are left hand drive besides the Ford falcons And the Holdens
Fun fact in the early 90's British police actually bought a bunch of Escort Cosworths (the rally car Mike's driving) in white, of course, so Mike could be unknowingly recreating some police chases in this video (with accurate powerslides i hope)
@@CantankerousDave haha that's brilliant. You could have time trials and races in construction traffic where you have to drive in shoulders, medians, over cars, go diagonal vs. K-rails, and worry about landing in wet cement, falling into potholes or construction trenches, it being eaten by heavy construction machinery. It would be fucking glorious.
Well I suppose we don't all live in castles. Lara Croft lives in a manor and I guess professor Layton's house would be considered a mansion. Oh and I'm pretty sure Tracer from Overwatch lives in a science lab, so not all Brits. :D
I live i Wales, where behind my village is a castle ruin on a hill, which is nextdoor to the hill with the remains of an iron-age fort, and about 10 miles away from a more intact ruined castle that looks really nice in photos for holiday makers. If only Edward I had a muscle car, he wouldn't have needed to stick a castle every few miles to give him somewhere to park his horse.
tsk-tsk, Mike, you of all people should know that that charger is from 69, which is the funniest number of them all and, somewhat crucially, is not actually in the seventies.
Here in New England, we have many circles or rotaries (or roundabouts as you call them). We're quite used to them, even a few double rotaries. How to exit from a rotary ('cause many of ours have double lanes) was even on my written driving test. Although I heard from my Dad that when he visited England and Scotland in 1985 there was a triple roundabout somewhere in Scotland I think and he had no idea what to do.
There is a good one on the road from Dundee to Aberdeen that is a triple. You can actually see the mental gears crunch as people try to figure it out. (The thee roundabouts are not even in a line, they are staggered)
Go to swindons magic roundabout, it's 5 minis surrounding one large roundabout. The large one you have drive the wrong way around!! It's functional but chaotic.
@@garethod1634 , I googled it, and it broke my brain just looking at the video of traffic flowing through it. It's easy to believe the highway engineer responsible for it had a great idea for a practical joke and no-one called him on it in time.
"There's seemingly a specific Britishness to widespread roadworks that snarl up traffic and keep orange cone factories in business." ..I'm from the northern Midwest, and you are unbelievably adorable.
8:02 This is actually true. The reason most others drive on the right is that Napoleon was left handed (ie sword arm on the left). France started invading Europe and enforcing this rule which remained after they were defeated. Countries bordering the French empire tended to adopt this rule. When France, Germany, Spain etc started colonising (invading) the rest of the worlds, they passed this custom on. Britain passed on its custom of driving on the left whicgh is why places like Australia, Hong Kong and India drive on the left.
We have roadworks season in Japan too, where they go section by section of the roads and repave them all. In Fukushima there were roadwork barriers that were cute cartoon rabbits.
I'm convinced that everything Mike knows, he learned from someone in a pub, on the street, in an alley from a box labeled "True Facts", Surprisingly, he's almost never wrong.
Roland Kramer Sure, the BBC owns the rights to the TARDIS. But it's based on police boxes, which were a thing. So they could just use a historical police box to evade the BBCs lawyers.
@@AussieGoPro Muscle trucks. Utes are muscle cars with a pickup rear end. Muscle car+pickup truck=muscle truck. Btw, Maloos and Utes arent the only muscle trucks to exist. Theres Chevy El Camino based on a Chevelle and Ford Ranchero based on a Gran Torino.
I'm British and this is brilliant. They've captured this country perfectly and even the road markings and signage are spot on. I'm also from Edinburgh myself and they've done it pretty well (but not 100% accurate). I don't have an Xbox One but have been considering buying one anyway. I'll definitely be buying this game if I do. (I had the old Forza Motorsport 2 on the 360 and it was ace).

Now to finish off the authenticity of British roads there must be at least one of the following every few miles Random half inflated football Random single glove (either on a fence pole or laying casually at roadside) Random single shoe Random small square of carpet Lastly a lucozade bottle full of piss. Generously donated by a passing wagon driver!
iwtmltyb That’s bs. There’s nearly no cars in the game that are right hand drive that didn’t come in left hand drive in one form or another. So there’s no reason not to give the players the choice
None of the 8 things is very uniquely british. 20-30% of the worlds population drive on the left, you find castles all over Europe, roundabouts are everywhere in Europe and Oz...
No, that maybe true, but they are iconic British items, as others have stated Castles are not British only, but roundabouts are British invention and whilst other countries have them, unless you have tried to navigate 'spaghetti junction' you can't really state you are true British driver!
@@notsamsamsucks3586 I reckon he knows, he is a car guy after all. But he'd get more puzzled comments by Yanks if he correctly stated that it is a ute.
It's been years since I left the UK but I really hope not giving way to traffic on the roundabout hasn't become as common as it clearly is in Forza. :-) PS - for people from non-roundabout using countries, think of it as a really really really small one way ring road. Keep that in mind and you'll be fine as long as you never have to go to Swindon.
If you learned to drive somewhere roundabouts are common then no, not at all bad once you've been through it two or three times. If you're from somewhere that doesn't even use normal roundabouts you'd probably look at the sign and go 'screw it, I'm off'.
Hi I'm a fellow British living 40 miles from London. We love roundabouts because you can keep going and they don't really slow us down. Also if you Google search Milton Keynes where I live it's a modern city that is known for its 1045 roundabouts

R A everyone in Britain probably thinks 2 hours is a long drive mainly because everything is relativity close compared to the U.S considering that the entire country is about the size of California and in the U.S people have to travel basically the same trip as driving across England to cross just one state ..... you cheeky Brit.
2 hours, that’s going to the next city here in Texas
You forgot about the Chavs
They're a dying breed fortunately, it's mainly roadmen you have to worry about now
JAMamation and junkies/neds
Oh but of course!
chavs still exist?
@@JAMamation roadmen are chill tho, nothing to worry about
For added realism the outside lane of the motorway's are clogged with 'Nigel's, Keith's and Darren's' who drive company leased 5 series at 100mph and tailgate any other road user
Handbrake turn, Mike. We all know why you did it, was she hot ?
@@CantankerousDave
"They're hot for James May right now!"
Mike should make a new spin-off channel where he explains Britishisms and talks about cars.
He should call it... The Mike Channel
I would watch that.

Up until he gets stabbed by a 15 year old in a hoodie and has the camera nicked. I give it a week😂😂
A roundabout is a brilliant way to redesign a crossroads to keep traffic from all directions flowing without the need for automated traffic control systems such as traffic lights. This being Britain, we are now of course increasingly placing traffic lights on our roundabouts 🙄
Yeah same here, they build a roundabout, then when they see people don't know how to use them properly, they install traffic lights which causes huge traffic jams.
Christopher Thornton America does have roundabouts but we don't need them as much because we have more forethought into City planning so they aren't necessary everywhere
Or they just get rid of the roundabout and put up lights and signs indicating your not allowed to make a right hand turn, even though you need to turn right to get where you want to go and have to drive on to find a place you can actually turn around to allow you to come back to make that same turn, only from the opposite direction.
@@TheNephilimofEmpireCity Oh, we put forethought into our city planning too. Only thing is, we did it several hundred to a couple of thousand years ago.

"Upstart whippersnapper the US wouldn't be born for another 200 years" was probably my favourite bit :D A friend of mine from the US recently visited the Netherlands and he was absolutely amazed that the hotel he stayed in was in a building that's older than his country. Meanwhile I'm from the south of Germany and I grew up in a house that's older than the US :D
Is no one else worried about Mike knowing excactly how crashing into a fiberglass icecream sounds!?
It’s not that hard to find out. Fiberglass is a common material that can be dropped
8:57 im happy that the horizion festival sign is a tourist sign then a typical white or green sign
Yeah, I think the devs put so much detail into the game
Beach Huts? Reminds me of Colin's beach hut project.
Seriously, they should include everything UK in the game - Jeremy Clarkson as last boss, ColinFruze with all his jet powered vehicles, Mr.Bean appear randomly, race vs the Queen, The Stig randomly crash into race events and stole your win, Captain Slow driving... well... just driving slowly...
ZeroLife
You are too right it’s wrong
However if your from Italy It is MR.Slowley
Unless it rains for 90% of the game, I refuse to call it British
Caitlin RC You clearly haven’t been there to believe that.
They have said it rains in summer,so its legit.
Also, if you get on a motorway and do not immediately get stuck for 1hr+, is it even a real Britain?
ONLY an hour?you must be a posh Southern type.
Haha, yeah, bear in mind though, that is only for one junction change on the M25 :D
Needs more stolen Vauxhall novas and Mk5 transits
Have to be MK2 Novas,as those were the ones you flipped the hazard switch to bypass the immob........er,supposedly
Skodas too
Are there any Novas left to steal?
Not many.I miss my MK1 Nova SR :(
I saw a G-reg Nova in the car park to Portsmouth Naval base the other week
I'm Irish and can tell you a roundabout is a circular thing in the centre that you go round to get to the road you want to be on. It's also handy when you can't do a U-turn!
The unidentified castle where the festival is set looks similar to my towns castle, 'Kenilworth Castle' which incidentally is probably the second closest one to Playground games' Leamington Spa studio, after Warwick Castle :)
There better be a London DLC. How can you have a game about the UK and not include London?!
On top of that, if there is a London DLC I better see young teens with balaclavas on chasing me with a 22 inch knife shouting "aye why you runnin' fam?!" when I enter West London.
They didn't include London 'cause it's a racing game. Driving 6 foot then stopping for 5 minutes then another 6 foot with another 5 minute stop wouldn't be very exciting would it?
@@cbr9296 I know but they could've included a very small part of London at the very South of the map.
Could've done the M25 loop I suppose :D
Parts of Yorkshire are rougher
Do you know how funny this is😭😭
I live in America and not 2 minutes from my house is a roundabout
Same and it always surprises me that people don't understand what "Yield" means.
They're very, very slowly being incorporated here in North America. The new mall near my parents in the Toronto area has a big one.
I've never had a problem with roundabouts, despite rarely coming across them.
And they are so much better than a four way stop, where you have to guess as to whether the other guy knows the right of way...
Slowly being incorporated? I mean sure we haven't had them as long as Britain but roundabouts have been in the states for 30+ years. I live in NY and find plenty but even traveling I've found them in other states.
slowly? dude theres like 30 within my town alone theyve been a thing for a good while now.
BatPotato There are plenty in NJ too.
Mike, as a South African I understand your round-about problem, just here occasionally a taxi will cut across the middle, making it even more fun.
I like to imagine a pretty garden with flowers, cherubs and skid marks
I've had a GPS unit that gave the instruction "cross the roundabout". Sounds like the taxi driver owned the same model.
@@BlueCrashFigurineHoldingWumpa XD not that bad, the smaller ones just have concrete in the middle.
How many chip shops are there in this game?
It's not England until there's 20 chip shops on the same street
It's based in Scotland
@@gaelenski_ You can play in Scotland and England
And Pakistani corner shops
Lix BOx Lixbox there are three on the street down my road
In all fairness there is only 2 chip shops within a 15 minuet walk of my house, there are however 7-8 pubs within a 15-20min wall of my house. 3 are literally 30 seconds from eachother in a triangle on a high street and a side road
Based in the UK but all the cars in the game are left hand drive
@Paul bell - You're either trolling or not from the UK
You know nothing Paul bell Snow
Paul bell then u must be from an alternative reality of the UK coz all cars here have the steering wheel on the right.
@Paul bell please just drive around in forza..if you are on the road in real life we are in serious trouble.
♫ SlamminUK ♫ same as Australia we drive on the left side of the road but on FH3 most cars are left hand drive besides the Ford falcons And the Holdens
Who calls a roundabout a traffic circle?
Idk
Yanks do
rhode island
Fun fact in the early 90's British police actually bought a bunch of Escort Cosworths (the rally car Mike's driving) in white, of course, so Mike could be unknowingly recreating some police chases in this video (with accurate powerslides i hope)
Andy Mcp British police= old bill
and spent even more just trying to insure the damn things
they had a bunch of these where i lived when i was younger
We Chicagoans don't call em "suicide circles" for nothing. Also, Chicago only has two seasons, construction and actually snowing.
@@CantankerousDave haha that's brilliant. You could have time trials and races in construction traffic where you have to drive in shoulders, medians, over cars, go diagonal vs. K-rails, and worry about landing in wet cement, falling into potholes or construction trenches, it being eaten by heavy construction machinery. It would be fucking glorious.
Well I suppose we don't all live in castles. Lara Croft lives in a manor and I guess professor Layton's house would be considered a mansion. Oh and I'm pretty sure Tracer from Overwatch lives in a science lab, so not all Brits. :D
I hope this game has 'classics': such as the Austin Allegro, Austin Maxi, Ford Capri, Rover V8 Vanden Plas, Wolseley, Triumph(s) Tr3-8 etc....
I live i Wales, where behind my village is a castle ruin on a hill, which is nextdoor to the hill with the remains of an iron-age fort, and about 10 miles away from a more intact ruined castle that looks really nice in photos for holiday makers. If only Edward I had a muscle car, he wouldn't have needed to stick a castle every few miles to give him somewhere to park his horse.
tsk-tsk, Mike, you of all people should know that that charger is from 69, which is the funniest number of them all and, somewhat crucially, is not actually in the seventies.

Here in New England, we have many circles or rotaries (or roundabouts as you call them). We're quite used to them, even a few double rotaries. How to exit from a rotary ('cause many of ours have double lanes) was even on my written driving test.
Although I heard from my Dad that when he visited England and Scotland in 1985 there was a triple roundabout somewhere in Scotland I think and he had no idea what to do.
Weve got more than just triple roundabouts over in stroud theres about 4 mini ones all leading off one another
There is a good one on the road from Dundee to Aberdeen that is a triple. You can actually see the mental gears crunch as people try to figure it out. (The thee roundabouts are not even in a line, they are staggered)
Go to swindons magic roundabout, it's 5 minis surrounding one large roundabout. The large one you have drive the wrong way around!! It's functional but chaotic.
@@ptonpc That might have been it! I'll have to ask my Dad again where it was.
@@garethod1634 , I googled it, and it broke my brain just looking at the video of traffic flowing through it. It's easy to believe the highway engineer responsible for it had a great idea for a practical joke and no-one called him on it in time.
Mike: “it just sounds weird when I say it.”
Oh no! Mike’s becoming self aware! Quick, everybody hide!
"There's seemingly a specific Britishness to widespread roadworks that snarl up traffic and keep orange cone factories in business."

This is actually true. The reason most others drive on the right is that Napoleon was left handed (ie sword arm on the left). France started invading Europe and enforcing this rule which remained after they were defeated. Countries bordering the French empire tended to adopt this rule.
When France, Germany, Spain etc started colonising (invading) the rest of the worlds, they passed this custom on. Britain passed on its custom of driving on the left whicgh is why places like Australia, Hong Kong and India drive on the left.
We have roadworks season in Japan too, where they go section by section of the roads and repave them all. In Fukushima there were roadwork barriers that were cute cartoon rabbits.
Ahh the difference is that in Japan, the road works actually DO something!
Difference being that in Japan, a 20-mile stretch is completely refinished in 4 hours.
Sadly, it is true... It is so frustrating that it takes so long here in Japan. Why can't it take 20 minutes like it should?
Roundabouts are becoming pretty common in usa
They have been for 30 years.
Roundabouts are circles to hell and every time you miss an exit, Satan gets a cookie
Satan must be diabetic by now then
Hell sounds like a great place for roundabouts to go.
@outsidebox the main Horizon castle is Kenilworth castle, Warwickshire about 10mis from Leamington spa where Playground games are based.
EasternBmx36 Isn’t that where freestyle games are from?
I live in leamington spa no even kidding my dad's mate works for playground games and is on the credits
1:00 they're not likely to be confused, roundabouts are in all the FH games as far back as the first.
I'm convinced that everything Mike knows, he learned from someone in a pub, on the street, in an alley from a box labeled "True Facts", Surprisingly, he's almost never wrong.
Really hoping there's a police box now, an achievement for finding the TARDIS would be awesome!
@@theludonarrian Or if you hit it it disappears into the time vortex and a skill pops like 'dematerialisation' or just 'Vworp' :)
the issue is that the BBC owns the likeness rights to those things
@@theludonarrian hahaha
so make it a low quality knock off and spell the achievement as Vwoorp.
Roland Kramer Sure, the BBC owns the rights to the TARDIS. But it's based on police boxes, which were a thing. So they could just use a historical police box to evade the BBCs lawyers.

Aussie GoPro pretty sure he did, some British people don’t know how to say Ute sometimes 😂😂
I name those muscle trucks...

@@AussieGoPro Muscle trucks. Utes are muscle cars with a pickup rear end. Muscle car+pickup truck=muscle truck. Btw, Maloos and Utes arent the only muscle trucks to exist. Theres Chevy El Camino based on a Chevelle and Ford Ranchero based on a Gran Torino.
DoriftoKingu I know they aren’t the only utes.. but In Australia we call them all utes.., and we don’t have the big chev utes here
I'm British and this is brilliant. They've captured this country perfectly and even the road markings and signage are spot on. I'm also from Edinburgh myself and they've done it pretty well (but not 100% accurate).
I don't have an Xbox One but have been considering buying one anyway. I'll definitely be buying this game if I do.

Don’t want to be a dick but *Scottish. It’s my country. Sorry .
I love finding parked cars, and spending ages pushing them into rivers... (this is in forza horizon 4 btw not real life...)
Can you buy a diesel MK4 Golf or Mk2 Leon as your first car, straight pipe it and then park diagonally in the car park like every teenager ever?
Hey now, we have circles in America too, we just don't know how to use them
@example 'roundabouts'
traffic circles are different
neither do we.
Now to finish off the authenticity of British roads there must be at least one of the following every few miles
Random half inflated football
Random single glove (either on a fence pole or laying casually at roadside)
Random single shoe
Random small square of carpet
Lastly a lucozade bottle full of piss. Generously donated by a passing wagon driver!
Can we please have the option to switch the driver side of the car from right to left or the other way around...
Meteor Media I just wish we had the option to make the traffic drive on the right side of the road. Because it’s the fucking right side not the left.
iwtmltyb That’s bs. There’s nearly no cars in the game that are right hand drive that didn’t come in left hand drive in one form or another. So there’s no reason not to give the players the choice
I think anyone who has successfully traversed a 4 lane roundabout with no issues should be given a knighthood

The beach huts arent really classic British stuff we have them in The Netherlands an Belgium to
None of the 8 things is very uniquely british. 20-30% of the worlds population drive on the left, you find castles all over Europe, roundabouts are everywhere in Europe and Oz...
South Africa too
America too. We call them rotaries in Massachusetts
Joe D'andria or just round abouts in the other 49 states.
No, that maybe true, but they are iconic British items, as others have stated Castles are not British only, but roundabouts are British invention and whilst other countries have them, unless you have tried to navigate 'spaghetti junction' you can't really state you are true British driver!
You guys may have roundabouts, but New Jersey has....::shudder::.... "Jughandles".
Because apparently making a left in Jersey is illegal. lmao
HBlatz87 was illegal...Horizon 5 in NJ, potholes everywhere
Also pumping your own gas is illegal

It's been years since I left the UK but I really hope not giving way to traffic on the roundabout hasn't become as common as it clearly is in Forza. :-)
PS - for people from non-roundabout using countries, think of it as a really really really small one way ring road. Keep that in mind and you'll be fine as long as you never have to go to Swindon.
Or Hemel Hempstead
The magic roundabout isn't THAT bad, once you get used to it.
If you learned to drive somewhere roundabouts are common then no, not at all bad once you've been through it two or three times. If you're from somewhere that doesn't even use normal roundabouts you'd probably look at the sign and go 'screw it, I'm off'.
Hi I'm a fellow British living 40 miles from London. We love roundabouts because you can keep going and they don't really slow us down. Also if you Google search Milton Keynes where I live it's a modern city that is known for its 1045 roundabouts
2 years on and still can't get enough of Forza, this is truly an Awesome game!!
From India and we have roundabouts as well!! 😁😁
