@Pietro824169 Yeah real life cities are typically much much larger than their virtual counterparts. To be clear this post was supposed to be a joke lol

@ElChickenBoi Bro, Tokyo is much bigger in real life. Even when driving a car, you might get lost.

What people expected FH6's Japan to be

@windbt1 Yeah this was more of a joke about the people that thought a FH city should take up a large portion of the map. FH has always been about the scenic drive. The fact we actually got a stylized version of Tokyo and not some city we've never heard of is awesome to me!

@ElChickenBoi That's NFS not FH.

@sammaxbr Yeah honestly. The map is exactly what I expect out of a Horizon map. They've made some enormous improvements over the last 2 games. Very excited to cruise around and explore!

@ElChickenBoi People who expected this seriously needed to get their expectations in check because Horizon is not Need For Speed, it isn't Tokyo Racer, it isn't Ridge Racer. It has always been a series with open maps and majority countryside and it works

@_davethewave_ I agree, I miss old NFS maps with multiple cities with highways connecting them lol

@ElChickenBoi I think a good map needs at least 2 cities as anchor points. Like in gtaV to drive out in the desert just to be there instead of travelling through never sat right.

@JPIMP88 Pure driving nirvana

@22Donovanwillis I am too! In my eyes it's as good of a Horizonified Japan as we could possibly get. Anybody expecting narrow roads, 1:1 highway system, or multiple cities just set themselves up for disappointment. It's Horizon, they are simply not going to change their formula too much.

@ElChickenBoi @AkahanaHitoshi Yeah the Japan setting has been held in the back of people's minds since FH3 as a future hyped location. So many fan created maps and speculation. Impossible to do it justice in the minds of many. Personally I'm very excited

@BlackPanthaaYT @ashleycanttweet @ForzaHorizon @xboxuk They did you dirty. Would've much preferred your coverage to some of the stuff I've forced myself to sit through 😂

@ashleycanttweet Ain't no way @ForzaHorizon @xboxuk 🥲

I still can't belive that people like this who dont even really play forza at all get the preview early access but @BlackPanthaaYT doesnt? like what did he do to yall xbox??

@NorwayRich An actual airport would've been cool. Though I fear if it was anywhere near full-sized it would dwarf the city itself 😂

@ElChickenBoi I wanted the airport smack fuck in the middle of fucking tokyo

@22Donovanwillis @AkahanaHitoshi But because it's Japan specifically, the inaccuracies have caused more uproar this time around Nobody has cared that every other Horizon location was horribly inaccurate to the real life counterparts. Japan just holds a different reputation.

@22Donovanwillis @AkahanaHitoshi That's exactly what I'm getting at. Their maps are never accurate recreations of countries. They're a greatest hits compilation mashed into a Horizon sized world. I'm a fan of what they've done and it's just about exactly what I expected it to be.

@AkahanaHitoshi I think they would've had a better response if they set the game specifically in Tokyo, and focused more on fleshing out that area, and less on representing Japan as a whole. Or make the map 15x bigger and make us wait 20 years for them to release it 😂

@ElChickenBoi I personally expect Japan as a whole because I wanted to drive around Japan so much. But im happy we got such a huge map anyway

@SpikeSeagull I yearn for map expansions that don't require loading screens. MCLA and Burnout Paradise were doing that nearly 20 years ago. The Crew Motorfest is the only one doing anything similar now. Forza needs to step it up. Hotwheels or Legos DLC can stay separate experiences though 💀

@ElChickenBoi Probably will be after 2 expansions lol

@nero_lufc I do wish they would innovate in their gameplay systems more. I am very tired of the same old race systems, driving cameras, traffic ai, drivatars, etc every single game. The handling is solid, but it feels like we've had the same exact base game with a different map since FH4

@ElChickenBoi I’ve come to realise no matter how good FH looks the actual gameplay loop and styling of these games puts me off, which is really sad given it’s the first AAA game to include Touge racing in a WHILE

@NFSFan199 I knew they weren't going to faithfully recreate it based on their wording during the reveal. It'll be cool to have that general vibe in a Horizon game though. Ultimately you aren't going to be able to beat playing SRP or TXR for the full experience.

@atxtrent I was more or less poking at the people complaining about the size of the city by making it comically large lmao I like the balance they've struck with the actual map and I look forward to trying it out!

@ElChickenBoi I don’t want to drive always in a city in a game about going fast

@YeshuaJanuary @MNS_066 I mean that expecting a Horizon map with 4 major cities just isn't realistic. They've stuck with a similar formula to past games. That's no surprise. If you ask me they haven't really done any full country justice. Japan is no exception, unfortunately. Map still looks great imo

@ElChickenBoi @MNS_066 Wdym too much for the scope of a Horizon game? They should be broadening their Horizon (pun intended) with every iteration. I’m aware that the resources this would take would be massive but it would’ve done Japan justice. The map is underwhelming.

@Okabe_Rintar0IF @MNS_066 That concept map is unrealistic at the level of detail they put out. Would I like to see more than what we got? Sure. But I'm not upset with a 25% larger map with a 5x larger city. I can see where they spent the extra development time for sure.

@ElChickenBoi @MNS_066 too much scope fot a small indie studio like microsoft

@dsgbrotherkai @Rowdy_GT Nope, my map was more just joking about people complaining about it. I have no problem with the map, I think it looks great!

@Rowdy_GT @ElChickenBoi Have you ever been to Japan? A lot of it is country just like how it is on Forza

@MNS_066 This would've been amazing, but probably too much for the scope of a Horizon game

@ElChickenBoi Yeah thats about right. I wasn’t expecting something like this fanmade one that was made a couple years ago.

@indiexanna Can't say that wouldn't be sick.. Been playing MCLA this week and that city still feels way bigger and way more alive than anything I've seen of FH6 😅 Still looking forward to FH6, I think the map will be the best in the Horizon series by far!

@ElChickenBoi Close enough 😂
