You can enjoy the cars and the world and still want to shave off time and do perfect laps. Thats what is great about Horizon. You can do whatever you want.
@@HokiHoshi after thinking about the first few opening shots of the trailer, the combination of the tropical scenery and the song in those shots reminded me of some kind of RPG game
"...it felt a bit like the landscape was just stretched too wide and the roads were just connecting locations or filling in barren spaces..." welcome to Australia mate
The first Horizon was fucking beautiful, this is a game I fell in love with at a young age, back when the Xbox 360 was still booming and shit. The everything about that game, the cars, the driving, the events, and the fucking showcases, I was loving those showcases so much. Aaaaa love this game
I remember seeing the trailer for FH2, and showing it to my dad over and over, and begged for him to get me an Xbox one with the game. I waited about 2 weeks, and he told me he had to leave to run errands. I didn’t suspect anything at first. After about 30 minutes, I was wondering what was taking so long. I go outside to see my dad holding an Xbox one and FH2. I was the happiest person on earth, and I met 99% of my friends on it. FH2 was the best thing to ever happen to me. Love you turn 10.
I actually just wanted to see like 5 minutes of this video but it was so well produced and interesting that all of a sudden I've watched the entire video.

The OG Horizon was the best man, its what got me into Forza in the first place, the music, the cars, the story, sound, driving, everything. The concept of racing to get there and grab a free ticket in. Getting up there and becoming well known. Not like the horizon games now where youre thrown right into it and after 10 mins have a huracan. The grind and everything was great
Personally, I like the removal of grind which gives me more time to tune/mod the vehicle. I ain’t got time to grind 2-3 hours for a Lamborghini any more
Best competitive races too. None of this "start a race and hope someone from the same 12- player server joins" bullshit. Just straight up dedicated race lobbies for anyone from any server who wanted to race THAT track and THAT class.
After replaying FH1 I started to understand how bad the FH games got. Suddenly, FH4 felt meaningless, repetitive and soulless. This is why I'll stay with horizon 1 rather than get bored in 4
The second the title screen and music popped up for the first horizon I almost cried because it been a very long time since I’ve played that game. I used to come home from a bad school life and boot up the game and the music made me feel safe, took me to another world and so did the next three games. I used to have a crew that had the first two titles but when my friend Josh whom passed due to cancer my crew fell apart and we went our own ways till horizon 4 came out and we slowly started to find each other and we brought the crew back together. 2 out of 12 lived near me and where Josh was buried, I had his sister added on Facebook and asked where his grave was. Me and my 2 mates meet me at the cemetery and FaceTimed everyone else and we all paid our respects to Josh. That’s why forza horizon 1 is so special to me. I wanna thank you hokihoshi for bring back these memories and taking me back to my good old days 💜 you’ve gained a follower for life mate
hope game developers read stories like this. They need to realize that they are not just making games, their work can have an effect on someones life. Thanks for sharing bro!
FH1 Will always be the best, the cutscenes, the characters, the streetraces, and the fact that you had another purpouse in the game that wasnt only having more cars.
I'm probably just biased because FH2 was my first, but I never found FH1 fun. It just doesn't seem as complete and didn't click with me. I can certainly appreciate what it meant to a lot of people though! Just as FH2 means so much to me. It does kind of suck that there's no real point to the progression in FH4 at the moment.
@@mwmmatt1 FH2 was also very fun to play, maybe the one that i played the most. i think i prefer FH1 cause it was the first one i played, but in FH2 i dont know why, the didnt use cutscenes, or characters, that would make you feel more into the festival
Fh1 hands down had the best soundtrack, I can still hear "you're listening to Horizon Pulse" while Punching in a Dream starts playing while I'm speeding down the highway in a my One 77 Aston Martin. My childhood man.
Am I the only one who enjoyed the "feel" of the first one the most? just opening up the game and hearing Porter Robinson playing? It just feels a certain way that nothing else has matched. I loved it
FH1 wasn’t the best game objectively speaking, but the 12 year old me remembers the character that game had so much more than the successors of that tittle. Something about the in your face EDM music, the orange atmosphere, and flashy events that had never really been explored before really took me away like few other racing games have managed to do. I so badly wanted to be there, bumping with my yellow wristband, flying into the starry partying night with my gt500. What a time to be growing up it was
Yup. I feel you there. My first console game and my first racing game, without it, I would have never been interested in cars like I am now. And going back to it... I get butterflies.
See I think there are plenty of arguments to be made for Forza Horizon 1 being the best game objectively. It had progression in single player, it had easily the best and most detailed multiplayer, had the best soundtrack and overall atmosphere. Gameplay wise it still reigns supreme.
@@TheJayden3977 Personally, I think that FH2 had a better environment soundtrack and multiplayer, because whenever I played it, it was buggy, and I'm talkin' beta levels of buggy. The soundtrack just wasn't really to my taste tbh. Ure right about the singleplayer tho, and atmosphere yeah, it had ACTUAL character and cutscenes! But credit where credit is due, the newer FH games look STUNNING.
EK35 Rock FH2 public multiplayer was a huge downgrade in my opinion. With Online Road Trips you couldn’t pick car class, could only choose 1 of 3 road trips with 4 events which forced you to use one car for all 4 and infected and king always occurred off road. In FH1 you could literally search any keyword lobby and join, or you could create your own public lobby and select event, car class, weather, difficult etc. You could also find a pre made lobby with a random class generator and race, but you could still pick your car for that individual event before hand. Lobbies were just a much better system than adventure modes in my opinion. Yeah it could be buggy but honestly it made it up in the sheer freedom it had. If FH2 had the same system it’s multiplayer would be much better than 1 in my opinion but it just restricted too much freedom. I think we will have to agree to disagree about the soundtrack, only because I could listen to every song on that game and enjoy it. Couldn’t with FH2.
@@TheJayden3977 True, I personally prefer H2 because it is consistently a decent quality, whereas H1's multiplayer gameplay was very buggy at times and is near unplayable now ,for me at least. Tuning is available and the diff actually does something, lol
27:51 “they say they said they wanted to turn car lovers into gamers and gamers into car lovers” they definitely did that. Racing games aren’t my type of games. I generally go to open world or fps. I did played a few racing games but they didn’t stick with me so I passed and didn’t pay any attention to the genre. When the forza horizon series released I thought it was just a bland racer that tried to copy need for speed, and boi I’m glad I was wrong. My introduction to Forza was actually really late. From my UA-cam recommendation I saw a video of just forza open world. When I saw this I didn’t know that forza was an open world game. My mind immediately went “wait an open world where you can just drive around in a beautiful place with fast cars” I immediately wanted to play it. But the problem is I don’t have any console accept for pc and my brother warned me about how he got ripped off on microsoft store. Because of that I was quite bumped out. Until one day I logged in to my steam and saw that forza horizon 4 was available on steam. I immediately contacted my friends saying that it was on steam. My mind set when purchasing forza was that I think I’m gonna play a few hours and probably touch it if I want to drive. Safe to say after 112 hours of playing I just can’t stop putting it down. It’s really fun playing with my friend trying to get the treasures in fortune island making idiotic upgrades and generally having a good time. By now forza horizon is my second played game on my library and all I can say as a non racing guy and somewhat of a car guy. Forza horizon opened my eyes to open world racers and I cannot wait for Forza horizon 5 (definitely gonna buy it if the review is good and it releases on steam)
I´ve bought my first Forza Game Yesterday and had no idea about the History. Only wanted to take a peek into the vid, ended up watching the whole thing. Great Video
Sadly, this will never happen because of servers, and licensing. R.I.P FH1,2, and very recently 3 (although fh3 online is still up, the game isn't for sale anymore)
He's right simple and efficient this game is in my top 2 of all time All the ingredients put on a racing game it's awesome... When you want to live in a game, you know it's a great one
"If you own any of the older games, I encourage you to boot them up again." Me: that's all I've ever played cause I cant get a xbox one because of internet restrictions that I have no control over😔
Ironic how the Fh3 trailer song says "i dont wanna fall in love wkth you" yet....we all fell in love. Its june 25th 2020. I still find myself going back and playing from time to time.
Fh3 is the BEST horizon game of all time, the cars, the scenery, the friends, the memories. I wanna go back to 2017 when we competed with my friend, over who gets the Lykan Hypersport first in Forzathon. Good frickin times
even tho everyone is playing forza 5 nowadays, i always come back to forza 3 every now and then, the good memories. easily my favourite forza game, had the best map, best radio, and of course the best dlc, hot wheels, playground games outdid themselves for this one
@@0uttaS1TE drifting is ok when it's done properly but the learning curve is so steep. Otherwise, it's a great game and it feels good. I stg, people who complain about nfs' physics only watched gameplay videos.
@@bombardier6033 Uhh, I have in fact played NFS Heat. And drifting is awful xD Tapping the throttle to initiate a drift? Anytime you do that by accident your car suddenly is in a drift and you can't pull it out of it. Been playing racing games, from arcade to sim, for the past 18 years and Need for Speed in the past 10 years has had the most awful physics consistently. They keep "improving" them I suppose, but they're bad regardless. Even NFS Underground 2 or Most Wanted had better physics than current gen NFS games. Heck, even NFS Pro Street does.
Anyau! My friend like to talk shit about forza but I now need for speed physics is sketchy and the car lost let’s be real I got more cars in my forza horizon 4 than the need for speed series all together
Honestly, for Horizon 6 that I would imagine is coming out in 4-5 years, it would be great to have different maps that you can flip between from all the previous locations so you can revisit old locations with whatever crazy tech that would be available for the time.
I highly doubt it will be that long, Forza horizon 3 came out in 2016. So we have had 3 games in 5 years or 4 in 7 years, as Horizon 2 came out in 2014. It's almost more comparable to something like fifa. As they have improved things in smaller increments, over a period of multiple releases. Rather than long periods of time between games, with one big leap forward. Each game they add some more cars, to the cars that were in the previous game. Improve on the physics of all of the existing cars. Add new features, (like cars in fh5, all now sounding different and new game modes etc) and add the latest new graphical effects, like ray tracing etc to a new map. It's still a lot of work, but in no way comparable to creating a whole new game from scratch. I would give it no more than 3 years, till the next one comes out.
Me: *Watches video , casually. Is amazed by the speach* Video: 27:28 Me: Did the guy in the left part of the screen just fling himself off the cliff?..
When we got our xbox 360 for Christmas, I was in need of a new racing game, I was kind of getting sick of playing need for speed (I was a need for speed boy). I was looking and found this exclude called "Forza Horizon", I begged my mum to buy it, and i'm so glad I did. I constantly played it, whenever I could. I was too young to actually acknowledge how great it was, but that's what made it so memorable, instead of focusing on the map and the tiny things, I focused on the big things, the cars, the races, everything else that brought life to the game. So I played this for ages, unaware that there was horizon 2 that was close to release, I thought that it was just that one single game, not a series. Then in 2016, I saw it, Horizon 3, I really wanted this game, but I didn't have the computing power, or an xbox one to play it on, so I got back into nfs for a bit. Then in 2018 I played Forza horizon 4 at my friends house, I fell in love, great game from the moment I held the controller. Now comes 2019, I had finally got my new computer and was very fond and familiar with the forza series, and I had a hard decision to make, buy FH3 or FH4. I contemplated for a long time, but I ended up buying FH3. I bought it for a number of reasons, a few reasons include that it was set in Australia (where I live) and the game almost was "calling me", it was like "I need you". To this day I still play FH3, great game. But I can't forget Forza Horizon 1, I made so many good memories with that game, and booting that game back up again late last year brought back mad nostalgia, I now play forza horizon 1 when i visit my grandparents, as that's where our xbox 360 is now. Forza horizon 3 is a great game, but there's just something about forza horizon 1 that can't be replicated, something that makes it different, and makes it stand out from the rest.
FH3 is going to be delisted soon and its on sale now. I got the ultimate edition along with the expansion packs for 30 bucks. I also snagged the crew 2 gold edition for 9 bucks. Two pretty good games to hold me over until FH4 goes on sale. Im glad I got FH3 when I did though because once its delisted that's it I wouldn't be able to play it unless I bought an Xbox. I already have that issue with a few Xbox one games that I bought when the Xbox first came out. I have FH2, F&F, GTA V, ASSASSINS CREED BLACK FLAG AND UNITY, and RIPTIDE GP... Cant play any of them because it was before the Xbox windows 10 compatibility. I've bought riptide three different times same with GTA V and ive bought black flag twice. It sucks but it is what it is. Thankfully now with Xbox windows compatibility its more likely ill have a device to play the games on.
Dude. You’re story is so heartwarming. Also, I have one tip for you. You can play the of for a horizon on your Xbox! The disc is also compatible with it!
I live in Australia and every time I boot up FH3 I receive the blissful feeling of the intro music playing with the beautiful showcase of landscape and cars. Driving past the 12 apostles or in the jungle in slight rain always gives me goosebumps. And also being introduced to Horizon from FH3 it will always hold a special place in my heart.
That Horizon 3 Trailer still gives me chills after almost 4 years from when i first saw at E3. Thats got to be like one of the Top 10 Game Trailers of the past decade. And honestly, i hope i can say the same thing for Horizon 5's reveal trailer.
Fun fact... Until last week... The last Forza game I played was Forza Motorsport 4, with the Top Gear tie-in. I bought the collectors edition with the art book and steel case. I no longer have a 360, but I still have that game. It was one of the few that I pre-ordered, and I played the crap out of it until my 360 died a couple years later. By then, the Xbox One and PS4 were coming out and I lost track of the franchise because I transitioned back to PC gaming. I still haven't gone back to consoles, except for the Switch. Then I saw FH4 on the Steam sale and decided to buy it. Now I remember what I loved so much about Forza in general. It was well worth the money and I am looking forward to FH5 in a big way. I honestly can't wait to jump in at the beginning with the rest of the community instead of at the twilight. Thanks for sharing this trip down Nostalgia Lane. I'm tempted to pick up FH3 to give it a go.
FH1 will probably always be my favourite, mainly for nostalgia, but also because of the story, the cutscenes and all the minigames (please bring back cat and mouse) infected on horizon 1 was so much fun, (especially bunker glitch) and I feel like there needs to be a way to join a lobby of people for the soul purpose of playing those minigames again because in horizon life no one joins them (also playground adventure is not what i want as its all team games and you don't get to pick which game you play) I think horizon 5 should be in Japan as it would give an opportunity for great roads, amazing scenery and great areas for minigames, which is another thing horizon 4 lacks I love all the horizon games but if they could take the best parts of each game and put it into one then that would literally be the greatest racing game of all time without question
forza horizon 1 was the first game i really felt love for, got it for my 7th birthday and have been playing that till my xbox 360 broke a year ago. just got forza horizon 4 tho and i feel the exact same about this game.
Low key shed a tear when I started to remember playing horizon one alone since my friends didn’t like racing games, and then again when I remembered the two friends I made in horizon 3 that I still play with in horizon 4 every once in a while
FH3 opening scene playing Constellations was amazing. Makes me tear up everytime. To this day, it was compulsory for me to own a Centenario in 4 and 5. This game always has a special place in my heart.
Fh3 feels like driving in Australia they(roads) look familiar to anyone that lives here they did an excellent job recreating the feel of driving in Australia
i have to agree and disagree about "the roads in FH3 being not that great." I can agree in regards of the overall scenery of it, but i can disagree with that statement. because out of all the horizon series, i enjoyed the circuit tracks on FH3 the most. had some of the best/most memorable races on that game. the circuit courses were designed great from a racing stand point. Had good amount of room for side by side racing and a few technical areas where the inside line would prevail. FH4's roads are almost all technical. Technical is good, but every technical track needs a passing zone at least. and a tighter course has led to more beating and banging between players. Things i'm hoping to see in the next Horizon game, a multi level car parking lot. FH3's parking lot was a well known meeting place for drifters. basically think of the movie tokyo drift. I think that would be an amazing meeting place to have on a map, and it was great to have a spot on the map that you wouldn't be bothered by traffic during drift tandems. And i little more attention to the drags. like the ability to false start would be a great addition. since reaction times is a big portion of drag racing.
I doubt we played the same game then, there were very few road tracks that were actually decent and most of them were in the city (save for that 8-figure loop in the desert and that one track that has you cross over the highway), most of the tracks had were mainly made of straights with slight bends every once in a while, resulting in a stupid power build meta.
yet again, i can agree and disagree. in fh3 there was an advantage of having high horsepower on a good portion of the tracks. Byron Bay circuit tracks however, with the exception of the goliath track, it was best to have a car that had high handling over horsepower. but my original point i was making, was that there was room for side by side racing. Most of the time, any side by side racing in fh4, results in someone being pushed off the road.
Fh2 was my first. Music from the game gives me so much nostalgia. Haven’t played fh3 since fh4 came out. I missed like half of those games with tuning and upgrades. I’m only just discovering that on fh4
This is my story, I went to a very good friends house and never saw this game he was playing I asked what it was and he said forza horizon, just the name got my attention and he did a barrel roll which sold me on it, so I got it for my 10th birthday and I was saying this isn't happening. I started playing the hell out of fh1 and hot glued the dodge and aventador are still my favorite cars in real life because of it Fh2: this is the most memorable game that glued me to another car the lexus lfa that thing is the best sounding and was my most reliable until I bought the veneno than that car I loved throughout my life and still do, somehow that car just makes my mind click and says drive that now I just loved that game over all. Fh3: I never got to play it at all I saw the trailer I really wanted to play it but due to my family's money problems I wasn't able to get it. Fh4: this is what truly got me back into cars, I was over with cars at the time than I was curious and saw there was a trailer for the new forza game I instantaneously clicked on that to see how the game looked, than I saw that senna I was saying to myself I have never ever in my life seen that car than I heard the engine the pops and flames on it I had to get it. I got the xbox one s forza edition"I also had to upgrade consoles at the time" so I started to play it and I was getting sceptical about it until I saw that same senna. the intro was so good it glued me to the screen and I was very rusty but I got through it than that rallying part of it that's what got me back into the forza franchise and back into being a car enthusiast. Now: currently I am a drifter and a expert tuner my account is Xformerking04 if you want to look up my tunes some might be old but I do suggest you try them. I have come a very long way from the beginning a quote from me "everyday strive to become better even though you cannot try become the person you always wanted to be.
"Fact that traffic disappeared when you went online was kind of a bummer" Eh, not really. You actually have tons of people asking for the option to turn off traffic in singleplayer. The ghosting in the drift zones and speed zones are good but holy hell, trying to three star a speed trap or a Danger Sign? Traffic kind of got annoying.
I'd kill to have no-traffic lobbies. As well as get private lobbies back. That was such an easy way to find groups of players who all wanted to do the same thing.
@@maximaldinotrap I would love a toggle option in private online lobbies. It can even be the meta for getting 3 star everything, and that's not bad. They can just make the 3 star PR stunts a little harder to get
I got FH3 as my first game when I got my first Xbox a couple of years ago and I remember I was so bad at the game I had to turn every thing to easy. Slowly I was able to work my way up and take off more assists and raise the difficulty. That has been probably the most rewarding experience I've had in any video game and the Forza series is one of the biggest reasons that I love cars now. I've now played all the Forza horizon games and I can't wait to see whhat FH5 brings!
that main menu on the first Forza just hits different in my memories, i could sit there for hours just listening to the music and looking at the cars, this is one thing i will never forget as my first racing game.
FH3's trailer still gives me goosebumps to this date sheesh. For me it was my 1st Forza game and the 1st game I bought on release from my OWN money. Yeah i was young back then. And right now the only racing game that I always comeback to. I love FH4 and well FH5 is FH5. FH3 feels like HOME and FH4 is that cool uncle house with tons of cool stuff to mess around but just doesnt feel like HOME.
This video was incredible! Great work! I played h1 at my friends house before I had a 360 or money to buy it. Still never bought it. Then when h2 came out I bought it on release day and fell in love. Played with some of my friends and one friend a lot. We built identical cars and went online to race the first race set to 50 laps and we would tandem drift the whole thing to gain levels super fast and get wheel spins. Then h3 was announced and I remember being so psyched about it. The second most hyped I’ve been for a game! I loved h3 so much but I think h2 is my favorite because of the memories. H4 disappointed me so I stopped playing it like a week or two after it came out but watching this video I might have to dive back into it and give it another chance. Again, great work on the video!
That horizon 1 intro brought me back to when i was about 11 and my older brothers friend brought it over for our 360 and i played it non stop for 6 hours, i was hooked, i begged and begged my dad to get us our own copy. That christmas forza horizon was the highlight of my day. you couldnt pull me away from the tv, now im in the navy and whenever i have freetime and im in my barracks room i play FH4 and just relax. Its crazy how quickly time flies by and how much we forget.
Forza Horizon 2 is the game that got me into Forza series, but back then I haven't even played it, I was watching gameplays of it on UA-cam and I was absolutely stunned by it. It was my dream to own an Xbox One just to play that game. In early 2017 I bought an used Xbox 360 with FM2 disk, and it was my first Forza game I ever played, even tho I was a newbie in racing sims and even sim-cades, still, I loved that game too. Some time later I borrowed Horizon 1 fromy my friend, and oh my god, I absolutely fell in love with that game.
Keep these awesome videos coming! I didn't expect a 30 minute nostalgia trip to be so satisfying... (Also Playground pls feature Tokyo. I want Mount Fuji) XD
This is such a great video. I've just now been introduced to the Froza franchise with Forza Horizon 5 and it was amazing to see all the old maps that i never explored and what has changed over the years. I know im very late to this video but I have to say, this is one of the best I ever watched. Thank you so much for making these fantastic videos, absoultely amazing.
Forza Horizon 1 will always have a special place in my heart. I remember driving the Maclaren P1 full speed down a straight as Levels by Avicci booms in the background with the festival fireworks in the sky, truly magical.
After that first e3 reveal of horizon 1.. we got an amazing and accurate demo of it for free, and I was hooked. Did you never get around to trying that demo? Every horizon game has an amazing demo after e3 before launch even on pc for the 3rd and 4th game. Also I actually cried when you showed the e3 reveal for horizon 3, wasn't expecting that. The first game is still my favourite, but that last two are very close.
Hey man, just now saw this video in June of 2021. But, Forza Horizon 1 was my first ever Horizon game, and this brought back so many memories. I even got Forza Horizon 1 on launch, so seeing this franchise grow what it is today is amazing to me. A genuine thank you for making this video, because it brought me back.
this video is amazing. i remember as a 3rd grader being infatuated with cars, playing fh2 on my friends brand new xbox one, taking turns, one looking out for barn finds each day after summer camp. i bought fh3 and didn't play it much since i didn't have any friends to play it with me. just got fh4 a month ago, since i'm now a junior in high school my car obsession has been reignited in a more realistic and attainable fashion. me and a few buddies ae loving the game, building from ground zero and fh5 may be the sole reason i buy an xbox series x and even play video games at all. thank you for the trip down memory lane and i appreciate all the research and holistic comprehension of the entire horizon franchise.
i’ve only played three of the horizon games but the nostalgia and just being turned from a gamer playing these games to a absolute car lover wanting to do the same thing in real life. i’ve played a few motorsport games but it’s just not same as horizon, horizon was just such an opening for me and i thank these games so much. i will never forget these games
I think what made the games....especially the intros, mainly 3 and 4, the music helped out so much....like starting 3 up and hearing constellations playing.....or hearing seasons in 4s opening....just made the games so much better....the intros of the first four games just...grabbed me, pulled me in in the right way, playing those super chill tunes while you have the car/s blasting around just...made them so so good....which bummed me out for 5 when I heard Fred v and grafix split and weren't gonna be doing the intro music....but just the joy of those intros.....just....yea...
What I would give to go back to Horizon 2 in its prime, such an amazing game! No Horizon since has managed to capture the feel and aesthetic of that game. The soundtrack was beautiful and for the world so well. I think the biggest issue with 3 and 4 is that they strayed too far away from the music festival aspect, in 1 and 2 you felt like you were at a nonstop party, the festival grounds and surrounding area were massive and believable and has so much charm and personality.
I really really really wish FH6 is in Japan. I mean I love Mex, I'm from there, but there's a hole in my life in the shape of drifting a Supra in it's country...
@@Qvartz_Lite It's not Japan but the upcoming Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown will take place on a 1:1 recreation of Hong Kong Island. Might scratch that itch.
To me Horizon was never about shaving a few ms off this corner and getting the perfect lap time, its always has been celebration of cars and everything around it
That is what horizon is meant to be....but people want to have legit racing in it and turn it into a clone of forza motorsport but with an open world.
tbh forza was probably better for time attacking than any other game
Imraan Omar I joined in FM5 and FH2. I can’t forget that epic entry off the ferry because you really felt like you were part of this dedicated club that is the festival. I play that game once in a while!
You can enjoy the cars and the world and still want to shave off time and do perfect laps. Thats what is great about Horizon. You can do whatever you want.
It's a game of everything, You go with friends, race or just do crazy things with them, get cars, test them all, and upgrade cars to be the best.
For those who didn't know, Forza Horizon 3 skies, were actually pictures/ time lapses of the real sky. Hence why it was so prefect.
Did they do the same for fh4?
In my opinion fh3 is the best with the maps and cars it's just my favorite
@@whatsfortheboys5201 I have forza horizon 3 but I haven't played it too much. I should start playing it because it's an amazing game.

The first Horizon was fucking beautiful, this is a game I fell in love with at a young age, back when the Xbox 360 was still booming and shit. The everything about that game, the cars, the driving, the events, and the fucking showcases, I was loving those showcases so much. Aaaaa love this game
Really
Same in my opinion the best horizon
I miss that game so much 😢 😪
First Forza also had the best infected, the shit you could do and the amount of scuffed gameplay to be had really made it memorable for me.

I remember seeing the trailer for FH2, and showing it to my dad over and over, and begged for him to get me an Xbox one with the game. I waited about 2 weeks, and he told me he had to leave to run errands. I didn’t suspect anything at first. After about 30 minutes, I was wondering what was taking so long. I go outside to see my dad holding an Xbox one and FH2. I was the happiest person on earth, and I met 99% of my friends on it. FH2 was the best thing to ever happen to me. Love you turn 10.
I thought that was taking a dark turn...

The OG Horizon was the best man, its what got me into Forza in the first place, the music, the cars, the story, sound, driving, everything. The concept of racing to get there and grab a free ticket in. Getting up there and becoming well known. Not like the horizon games now where youre thrown right into it and after 10 mins have a huracan. The grind and everything was great
i started at forza horizon 2. one of the best games i've ever played.
I still remember being extremely excited at getting my first Ferrari after a week of playing, I wish I could be that excited about forza again
Personally, I like the removal of grind which gives me more time to tune/mod the vehicle. I ain’t got time to grind 2-3 hours for a Lamborghini any more

Good old memories
After replaying FH1 I started to understand how bad the FH games got. Suddenly, FH4 felt meaningless, repetitive and soulless. This is why I'll stay with horizon 1 rather than get bored in 4
I remember seeing horizon 3’s trailer and being hyped
Same, I first watched it at school when it dropped and I was soo excited and hyped
Bruh I was in the 7th grade that was 3 years ago
Scott 180 it gave me shivers looking at it now
Made me tear up a bit low key still the best trailer I've seen
Early2020s same
The second the title screen and music popped up for the first horizon I almost cried because it been a very long time since I’ve played that game. I used to come home from a bad school life and boot up the game and the music made me feel safe, took me to another world and so did the next three games. I used to have a crew that had the first two titles but when my friend Josh whom passed due to cancer my crew fell apart and we went our own ways till horizon 4 came out and we slowly started to find each other and we brought the crew back together. 2 out of 12 lived near me and where Josh was buried, I had his sister added on Facebook and asked where his grave was. Me and my 2 mates meet me at the cemetery and FaceTimed everyone else and we all paid our respects to Josh. That’s why forza horizon 1 is so special to me.
I wanna thank you hokihoshi for bring back these memories and taking me back to my good old days 💜 you’ve gained a follower for life mate

Me too, I've only played 2 and 4
OgsrV I had the 360 version of FH2 as well but honestly the Xbox One is so much better. As Hoki said in the video, it’s practically a different game.
Same
FH1 Will always be the best, the cutscenes, the characters, the streetraces, and the fact that you had another purpouse in the game that wasnt only having more cars.
I'm probably just biased because FH2 was my first, but I never found FH1 fun. It just doesn't seem as complete and didn't click with me.
I can certainly appreciate what it meant to a lot of people though! Just as FH2 means so much to me. It does kind of suck that there's no real point to the progression in FH4 at the moment.
@@mwmmatt1 FH2 was also very fun to play, maybe the one that i played the most. i think i prefer FH1 cause it was the first one i played, but in FH2 i dont know why, the didnt use cutscenes, or characters, that would make you feel more into the festival
I liked that it had a storyline but it wasn’t like they tried to overdo it.
I agree. FH1 I felt embodied the most pure horizon feeling.The music, roads, and cars were just perfect
mwmmatt1 i feel the same FH2 was my first game on the XB1 aswell and i just kept playing it for like 2 years and still like it more than FH3 and 4

Fh1 hands down had the best soundtrack, I can still hear "you're listening to Horizon Pulse" while Punching in a Dream starts playing while I'm speeding down the highway in a my One 77 Aston Martin. My childhood man.
For those who wanna know what the song is called:
Porter Robinson - language
Am I the only one who enjoyed the "feel" of the first one the most? just opening up the game and hearing Porter Robinson playing? It just feels a certain way that nothing else has matched. I loved it
it almost makes me tear up sometimes, it's amazing
Same here, the vibe was just incredible in the first one.
Tesla Haxz they should revisit Colorado. Just the story line was stellar.
not at all. the music and vibe was soo good and unique. its my favorite one
It had the best festival vibe and music, it probably won’t ever be topped
FH1 wasn’t the best game objectively speaking, but the 12 year old me remembers the character that game had so much more than the successors of that tittle. Something about the in your face EDM music, the orange atmosphere, and flashy events that had never really been explored before really took me away like few other racing games have managed to do. I so badly wanted to be there, bumping with my yellow wristband, flying into the starry partying night with my gt500. What a time to be growing up it was
Yup. I feel you there. My first console game and my first racing game, without it, I would have never been interested in cars like I am now. And going back to it... I get butterflies.
See I think there are plenty of arguments to be made for Forza Horizon 1 being the best game objectively. It had progression in single player, it had easily the best and most detailed multiplayer, had the best soundtrack and overall atmosphere. Gameplay wise it still reigns supreme.
@@TheJayden3977 Personally, I think that FH2 had a better environment soundtrack and multiplayer, because whenever I played it, it was buggy, and I'm talkin' beta levels of buggy. The soundtrack just wasn't really to my taste tbh. Ure right about the singleplayer tho, and atmosphere yeah, it had ACTUAL character and cutscenes! But credit where credit is due, the newer FH games look STUNNING.
EK35 Rock
FH2 public multiplayer was a huge downgrade in my opinion. With Online Road Trips you couldn’t pick car class, could only choose 1 of 3 road trips with 4 events which forced you to use one car for all 4 and infected and king always occurred off road. In FH1 you could literally search any keyword lobby and join, or you could create your own public lobby and select event, car class, weather, difficult etc. You could also find a pre made lobby with a random class generator and race, but you could still pick your car for that individual event before hand. Lobbies were just a much better system than adventure modes in my opinion. Yeah it could be buggy but honestly it made it up in the sheer freedom it had. If FH2 had the same system it’s multiplayer would be much better than 1 in my opinion but it just restricted too much freedom.
I think we will have to agree to disagree about the soundtrack, only because I could listen to every song on that game and enjoy it. Couldn’t with FH2.
@@TheJayden3977 True, I personally prefer H2 because it is consistently a decent quality, whereas H1's multiplayer gameplay was very buggy at times and is near unplayable now ,for me at least. Tuning is available and the diff actually does something, lol

and add more events/features.

27:51 “they say they said they wanted to turn car lovers into gamers and gamers into car lovers” they definitely did that. Racing games aren’t my type of games. I generally go to open world or fps. I did played a few racing games but they didn’t stick with me so I passed and didn’t pay any attention to the genre. When the forza horizon series released I thought it was just a bland racer that tried to copy need for speed, and boi I’m glad I was wrong. My introduction to Forza was actually really late. From my UA-cam recommendation I saw a video of just forza open world. When I saw this I didn’t know that forza was an open world game. My mind immediately went “wait an open world where you can just drive around in a beautiful place with fast cars” I immediately wanted to play it. But the problem is I don’t have any console accept for pc and my brother warned me about how he got ripped off on microsoft store. Because of that I was quite bumped out. Until one day I logged in to my steam and saw that forza horizon 4 was available on steam. I immediately contacted my friends saying that it was on steam. My mind set when purchasing forza was that I think I’m gonna play a few hours and probably touch it if I want to drive. Safe to say after 112 hours of playing I just can’t stop putting it down. It’s really fun playing with my friend trying to get the treasures in fortune island making idiotic upgrades and generally having a good time. By now forza horizon is my second played game on my library and all I can say as a non racing guy and somewhat of a car guy. Forza horizon opened my eyes to open world racers and I cannot wait for Forza horizon 5 (definitely gonna buy it if the review is good and it releases on steam)

@@manicxdnb agrred horizon 1 had it all
No fh4 is
Christ’sWarrior 7 no it isn’t you stupid 10 year old
The fact that some of these games were made in 2 years is mind blowing
Honestly, for Horizon 6 that I would imagine is coming out in 4-5 years, it would be great to have different maps that you can flip between from all the previous locations so you can revisit old locations with whatever crazy tech that would be available for the time.
I highly doubt it will be that long, Forza horizon 3 came out in 2016. So we have had 3 games in 5 years or 4 in 7 years, as Horizon 2 came out in 2014. It's almost more comparable to something like fifa. As they have improved things in smaller increments, over a period of multiple releases.
Rather than long periods of time between games, with one big leap forward. Each game they add some more cars, to the cars that were in the previous game. Improve on the physics of all of the existing cars. Add new features, (like cars in fh5, all now sounding different and new game modes etc) and add the latest new graphical effects, like ray tracing etc to a new map.
It's still a lot of work, but in no way comparable to creating a whole new game from scratch. I would give it no more than 3 years, till the next one comes out.
@@Joeblogs263 yeah but it’s probably gonna be absolutely massive and it would take years.

This video hit me with nostalgia hard, and made me sadly realize 2012 was 8 years ago and I'm getting older
Same! I was still in high school when the original Horizon came out, it’s nostalgic looking back don’t you think??
When we got our xbox 360 for Christmas, I was in need of a new racing game, I was kind of getting sick of playing need for speed (I was a need for speed boy). I was looking and found this exclude called "Forza Horizon", I begged my mum to buy it, and i'm so glad I did. I constantly played it, whenever I could. I was too young to actually acknowledge how great it was, but that's what made it so memorable, instead of focusing on the map and the tiny things, I focused on the big things, the cars, the races, everything else that brought life to the game. So I played this for ages, unaware that there was horizon 2 that was close to release, I thought that it was just that one single game, not a series. Then in 2016, I saw it, Horizon 3, I really wanted this game, but I didn't have the computing power, or an xbox one to play it on, so I got back into nfs for a bit. Then in 2018 I played Forza horizon 4 at my friends house, I fell in love, great game from the moment I held the controller. Now comes 2019, I had finally got my new computer and was very fond and familiar with the forza series, and I had a hard decision to make, buy FH3 or FH4. I contemplated for a long time, but I ended up buying FH3. I bought it for a number of reasons, a few reasons include that it was set in Australia (where I live) and the game almost was "calling me", it was like "I need you".
To this day I still play FH3, great game. But I can't forget Forza Horizon 1, I made so many good memories with that game, and booting that game back up again late last year brought back mad nostalgia, I now play forza horizon 1 when i visit my grandparents, as that's where our xbox 360 is now.
Forza horizon 3 is a great game, but there's just something about forza horizon 1 that can't be replicated, something that makes it different, and makes it stand out from the rest.
FH3 is going to be delisted soon and its on sale now. I got the ultimate edition along with the expansion packs for 30 bucks. I also snagged the crew 2 gold edition for 9 bucks. Two pretty good games to hold me over until FH4 goes on sale. Im glad I got FH3 when I did though because once its delisted that's it I wouldn't be able to play it unless I bought an Xbox. I already have that issue with a few Xbox one games that I bought when the Xbox first came out. I have FH2, F&F, GTA V, ASSASSINS CREED BLACK FLAG AND UNITY, and RIPTIDE GP... Cant play any of them because it was before the Xbox windows 10 compatibility. I've bought riptide three different times same with GTA V and ive bought black flag twice. It sucks but it is what it is. Thankfully now with Xbox windows compatibility its more likely ill have a device to play the games on.
Dude. You’re story is so heartwarming. Also, I have one tip for you. You can play the of for a horizon on your Xbox! The disc is also compatible with it!
@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou Forza horizon 3 and 4 play anywhere titles. You can play your copy on PC
I live in Australia and every time I boot up FH3 I receive the blissful feeling of the intro music playing with the beautiful showcase of landscape and cars. Driving past the 12 apostles or in the jungle in slight rain always gives me goosebumps. And also being introduced to Horizon from FH3 it will always hold a special place in my heart.
That Horizon 3 Trailer still gives me chills after almost 4 years from when i first saw at E3. Thats got to be like one of the Top 10 Game Trailers of the past decade. And honestly, i hope i can say the same thing for Horizon 5's reveal trailer.

Fun fact... Until last week... The last Forza game I played was Forza Motorsport 4, with the Top Gear tie-in. I bought the collectors edition with the art book and steel case. I no longer have a 360, but I still have that game. It was one of the few that I pre-ordered, and I played the crap out of it until my 360 died a couple years later. By then, the Xbox One and PS4 were coming out and I lost track of the franchise because I transitioned back to PC gaming. I still haven't gone back to consoles, except for the Switch. Then I saw FH4 on the Steam sale and decided to buy it. Now I remember what I loved so much about Forza in general. It was well worth the money and I am looking forward to FH5 in a big way. I honestly can't wait to jump in at the beginning with the rest of the community instead of at the twilight. Thanks for sharing this trip down Nostalgia Lane. I'm tempted to pick up FH3 to give it a go.

FH1 will probably always be my favourite, mainly for nostalgia, but also because of the story, the cutscenes and all the minigames (please bring back cat and mouse)
infected on horizon 1 was so much fun, (especially bunker glitch) and I feel like there needs to be a way to join a lobby of people for the soul purpose of playing those minigames again because in horizon life no one joins them (also playground adventure is not what i want as its all team games and you don't get to pick which game you play)
I think horizon 5 should be in Japan as it would give an opportunity for great roads, amazing scenery and great areas for minigames, which is another thing horizon 4 lacks
I love all the horizon games but if they could take the best parts of each game and put it into one then that would literally be the greatest racing game of all time without question
Great idea, I think Japan would also be a good place for drifting and stunts

The most satisfying thing about this video is hearing an American say the Hospital Records radio station is the best
Low key shed a tear when I started to remember playing horizon one alone since my friends didn’t like racing games, and then again when I remembered the two friends I made in horizon 3 that I still play with in horizon 4 every once in a while
Nothing makes me actually cry like that FH3 ad. A feeling of nostalgia so powerful overwhelms me at my core every time I see it.
FH3 opening scene playing Constellations was amazing. Makes me tear up everytime. To this day, it was compulsory for me to own a Centenario in 4 and 5.
This game always has a special place in my heart.
Fh3 feels like driving in Australia they(roads) look familiar to anyone that lives here they did an excellent job recreating the feel of driving in Australia
i have to agree and disagree about "the roads in FH3 being not that great." I can agree in regards of the overall scenery of it, but i can disagree with that statement. because out of all the horizon series, i enjoyed the circuit tracks on FH3 the most. had some of the best/most memorable races on that game. the circuit courses were designed great from a racing stand point. Had good amount of room for side by side racing and a few technical areas where the inside line would prevail. FH4's roads are almost all technical. Technical is good, but every technical track needs a passing zone at least. and a tighter course has led to more beating and banging between players.
Things i'm hoping to see in the next Horizon game, a multi level car parking lot. FH3's parking lot was a well known meeting place for drifters. basically think of the movie tokyo drift. I think that would be an amazing meeting place to have on a map, and it was great to have a spot on the map that you wouldn't be bothered by traffic during drift tandems. And i little more attention to the drags. like the ability to false start would be a great addition. since reaction times is a big portion of drag racing.
I doubt we played the same game then, there were very few road tracks that were actually decent and most of them were in the city (save for that 8-figure loop in the desert and that one track that has you cross over the highway), most of the tracks had were mainly made of straights with slight bends every once in a while, resulting in a stupid power build meta.
yet again, i can agree and disagree. in fh3 there was an advantage of having high horsepower on a good portion of the tracks. Byron Bay circuit tracks however, with the exception of the goliath track, it was best to have a car that had high handling over horsepower. but my original point i was making, was that there was room for side by side racing. Most of the time, any side by side racing in fh4, results in someone being pushed off the road.
i literally agree with everything u say
Flashbacks... thanks for the good memories! Good video Hoki!
Yee
I miss FH2. That was my favourite
i thought fh1 was the best because of how you felt like you were actually part of it
I just hated the physics and lack of tuning in FH1. They felt à là NFS ProStreet
Fh2 was my first. Music from the game gives me so much nostalgia. Haven’t played fh3 since fh4 came out. I missed like half of those games with tuning and upgrades. I’m only just discovering that on fh4
First forza horizon will never be topped, the feeling you got when you entered the game it was amazing.
This is my story, I went to a very good friends house and never saw this game he was playing I asked what it was and he said forza horizon, just the name got my attention and he did a barrel roll which sold me on it, so I got it for my 10th birthday and I was saying this isn't happening. I started playing the hell out of fh1 and hot glued the dodge and aventador are still my favorite cars in real life because of it
Fh2: this is the most memorable game that glued me to another car the lexus lfa that thing is the best sounding and was my most reliable until I bought the veneno than that car I loved throughout my life and still do, somehow that car just makes my mind click and says drive that now I just loved that game over all.
Fh3: I never got to play it at all I saw the trailer I really wanted to play it but due to my family's money problems I wasn't able to get it.
Fh4: this is what truly got me back into cars, I was over with cars at the time than I was curious and saw there was a trailer for the new forza game I instantaneously clicked on that to see how the game looked, than I saw that senna I was saying to myself I have never ever in my life seen that car than I heard the engine the pops and flames on it I had to get it. I got the xbox one s forza edition"I also had to upgrade consoles at the time" so I started to play it and I was getting sceptical about it until I saw that same senna. the intro was so good it glued me to the screen and I was very rusty but I got through it than that rallying part of it that's what got me back into the forza franchise and back into being a car enthusiast.
Now: currently I am a drifter and a expert tuner my account is Xformerking04 if you want to look up my tunes some might be old but I do suggest you try them. I have come a very long way from the beginning a quote from me "everyday strive to become better even though you cannot try become the person you always wanted to be.
"Fact that traffic disappeared when you went online was kind of a bummer"
Eh, not really. You actually have tons of people asking for the option to turn off traffic in singleplayer. The ghosting in the drift zones and speed zones are good but holy hell, trying to three star a speed trap or a Danger Sign? Traffic kind of got annoying.
I'd kill to have no-traffic lobbies. As well as get private lobbies back. That was such an easy way to find groups of players who all wanted to do the same thing.
Isn't traffic supposed to be part of the fun? Without it, it feels easy but lifeless at the same time.
@@sauravallen Not to everyone though. There are people who want the option to toggle traffic.
@@maximaldinotrap yeah. they should have given a toggle tho...
@@maximaldinotrap I would love a toggle option in private online lobbies. It can even be the meta for getting 3 star everything, and that's not bad. They can just make the 3 star PR stunts a little harder to get
I didn't know you took a job at making documentaries Hoki😂
Hah! Oh man I would love something like that
@@HokiHoshi we could make thos anyways, like this one
Finally found this video again. Man I miss Forza Horizon 3.
The moment I saw you hit the Drift Circuit in the Surfers Paradise Parking lot, it hit me w/ so much nostalgia. So many friends were made there.
Let’s all take a moment to recognise
that the Windows XP Shutdown sfx is a horn.
Fh4
WOLOLO is easily my favorite

I got FH3 as my first game when I got my first Xbox a couple of years ago and I remember I was so bad at the game I had to turn every thing to easy. Slowly I was able to work my way up and take off more assists and raise the difficulty. That has been probably the most rewarding experience I've had in any video game and the Forza series is one of the biggest reasons that I love cars now. I've now played all the Forza horizon games and I can't wait to see whhat FH5 brings!
Man after this video ended i booted up my fh2 thats been sitting at the shelf for like 5 years
As someone who’s played every horizon since day 1 this video is touching 😢 i miss the feel of fh1 and fh2 more than anything
Beautiful video you opened my eyes back up to this series! I have been playing wangan midnight maximum tune 5 but now i am excited for forza horizon 5
Hospital records just delivered at FH3 and made me fell in love again with Drum 'n Bass
Horizon Bass Arena on the first FH made me get into electronic music.
Man, there was nothing like the feeling of your first HyperCars in these games
Mine was hennesey
@@xavierlevesque9340 me and my friend spent hours grinding a p1 back in fh2
that main menu on the first Forza just hits different in my memories, i could sit there for hours just listening to the music and looking at the cars, this is one thing i will never forget as my first racing game.
FH3's trailer still gives me goosebumps to this date sheesh.
For me it was my 1st Forza game and the 1st game I bought on release from my OWN money. Yeah i was young back then.
And right now the only racing game that I always comeback to.
I love FH4 and well FH5 is FH5.
FH3 feels like HOME and FH4 is that cool uncle house with tons of cool stuff to mess around but just doesnt feel like HOME.
Forza Horizon 2 is the best Horizon title released to date! One of the greatest car games of all-time. Love it.
He speaks the truth
No, it really doesn't lmao.
Every one knows nfs prostreet will always be the best racing (FOR NOSTALGIC REASONS)
unless you bought it on xbox-360, where it is 1 big glitch-fest
@@ducksouponline7420 I am not one to seek out glitches. I just race and cruise!
I remember just hooning my legacy gt in horizon 2. Subaru blue with ricer gold wheels. Those were the days
This video was incredible! Great work! I played h1 at my friends house before I had a 360 or money to buy it. Still never bought it. Then when h2 came out I bought it on release day and fell in love. Played with some of my friends and one friend a lot. We built identical cars and went online to race the first race set to 50 laps and we would tandem drift the whole thing to gain levels super fast and get wheel spins. Then h3 was announced and I remember being so psyched about it. The second most hyped I’ve been for a game! I loved h3 so much but I think h2 is my favorite because of the memories. H4 disappointed me so I stopped playing it like a week or two after it came out but watching this video I might have to dive back into it and give it another chance. Again, great work on the video!
my fav is h2 too because lucky #1
I think we all could agree that fh3 started everything “big”
fh2 was sick
That horizon 1 intro brought me back to when i was about 11 and my older brothers friend brought it over for our 360 and i played it non stop for 6 hours, i was hooked, i begged and begged my dad to get us our own copy. That christmas forza horizon was the highlight of my day. you couldnt pull me away from the tv, now im in the navy and whenever i have freetime and im in my barracks room i play FH4 and just relax. Its crazy how quickly time flies by and how much we forget.
Forza Horizon 2 is the game that got me into Forza series, but back then I haven't even played it, I was watching gameplays of it on UA-cam and I was absolutely stunned by it. It was my dream to own an Xbox One just to play that game. In early 2017 I bought an used Xbox 360 with FM2 disk, and it was my first Forza game I ever played, even tho I was a newbie in racing sims and even sim-cades, still, I loved that game too. Some time later I borrowed Horizon 1 fromy my friend, and oh my god, I absolutely fell in love with that game.
Keep these awesome videos coming! I didn't expect a 30 minute nostalgia trip to be so satisfying... (Also Playground pls feature Tokyo. I want Mount Fuji) XD
nothing will ever beat that FH2 intro! ❤
This is such a great video. I've just now been introduced to the Froza franchise with Forza Horizon 5 and it was amazing to see all the old maps that i never explored and what has changed over the years. I know im very late to this video but I have to say, this is one of the best I ever watched. Thank you so much for making these fantastic videos, absoultely amazing.
Forza Horizon 1 will always have a special place in my heart. I remember driving the Maclaren P1 full speed down a straight as Levels by Avicci booms in the background with the festival fireworks in the sky, truly magical.
Bwoah... the nostalgia feels are coming
1:40 anddddddddd theresssssss the Nostalgia! I remember when I wanted to get an Xbox360 for Horizon 1 but I could never afford it.
After that first e3 reveal of horizon 1.. we got an amazing and accurate demo of it for free, and I was hooked. Did you never get around to trying that demo? Every horizon game has an amazing demo after e3 before launch even on pc for the 3rd and 4th game. Also I actually cried when you showed the e3 reveal for horizon 3, wasn't expecting that. The first game is still my favourite, but that last two are very close.
Hey man, just now saw this video in June of 2021. But, Forza Horizon 1 was my first ever Horizon game, and this brought back so many memories. I even got Forza Horizon 1 on launch, so seeing this franchise grow what it is today is amazing to me. A genuine thank you for making this video, because it brought me back.
this video is amazing. i remember as a 3rd grader being infatuated with cars, playing fh2 on my friends brand new xbox one, taking turns, one looking out for barn finds each day after summer camp. i bought fh3 and didn't play it much since i didn't have any friends to play it with me. just got fh4 a month ago, since i'm now a junior in high school my car obsession has been reignited in a more realistic and attainable fashion. me and a few buddies ae loving the game, building from ground zero and fh5 may be the sole reason i buy an xbox series x and even play video games at all. thank you for the trip down memory lane and i appreciate all the research and holistic comprehension of the entire horizon franchise.
holy crap this video took me down memory lane and made me miss the old games
just how you tell your own experience, how the vid is made with the fh3 clip and stuff, damnn man prob one of the best videos ive seen on yt rn
Just found your channel, man this was so much nostalgia! 😭🔥
Lol I just found his channel to lol
i’ve only played three of the horizon games but the nostalgia and just being turned from a gamer playing these games to a absolute car lover wanting to do the same thing in real life. i’ve played a few motorsport games but it’s just not same as horizon, horizon was just such an opening for me and i thank these games so much. i will never forget these games
I think what made the games....especially the intros, mainly 3 and 4, the music helped out so much....like starting 3 up and hearing constellations playing.....or hearing seasons in 4s opening....just made the games so much better....the intros of the first four games just...grabbed me, pulled me in in the right way, playing those super chill tunes while you have the car/s blasting around just...made them so so good....which bummed me out for 5 when I heard Fred v and grafix split and weren't gonna be doing the intro music....but just the joy of those intros.....just....yea...
What I would give to go back to Horizon 2 in its prime, such an amazing game! No Horizon since has managed to capture the feel and aesthetic of that game. The soundtrack was beautiful and for the world so well. I think the biggest issue with 3 and 4 is that they strayed too far away from the music festival aspect, in 1 and 2 you felt like you were at a nonstop party, the festival grounds and surrounding area were massive and believable and has so much charm and personality.
Thank you for this trip down memory lane!
FH1:Colorado
FH2:France
FH3:Australia
FH4:Great Britain
FH5:Mexico
Don't forget Italy in fh2!
I really really really wish FH6 is in Japan.
I mean I love Mex, I'm from there, but there's a hole in my life in the shape of drifting a Supra in it's country...
@@Qvartz_Lite dont want a Forza with wrong way streets, the reason i dont buy fh4
@@Qvartz_Lite It's not Japan but the upcoming Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown will take place on a 1:1 recreation of Hong Kong Island. Might scratch that itch.
@@GamerNR7 Wrong way for you mate
When that Mclaren P1 came up in the FH2 intro, I started crying. That game was my childhood.
Started tearing up when I saw that fh1 gameplay bro, i miss my childhood so much now
