 Impression Forza Horizon 4?

Make the engines roar, it's going very fast! The studios Playground Games presents us their latest baby after 2 years of silence. We leave the sunny landscapes of Australia for the freshness of the Britain.

We immediately find the very dynamic atmosphere of its predecessors, or the desire to press fully on the mushroom for wild races and especially without limit restrictions, take the top.

You can pilot more than 450 cars from 100 manufacturers different under varied landscapes and changing weather conditions where the jumps and obstacles (tractors, hovercraft and animals …) that will stand on your way are legion.

The title is well received by critics and the terms that come up most often are:" fun " and an " visual slap " , but also " less exotic than the 3"…

The diversity of routes is less important but the advantage of this opus is that it allows us to do vary the seasons and reinvent a new deal with landscapes changing with the rain, snow and good weather, all supported by a day / night rhythm. You will see it on the video trailer ((at the bottom of the page) behind the wheel of a superb McLaren Senna, racing through the panoramas of british lands.

However for simulation fans, know that this is a title plus arcade tour than its counterpart Forza motosport. The title offers many gameplay possibilities for precise maneuvers allied with many adjustment possibilities, however less advanced than that of its predecessor.

With a 4X4 driving through the English countryside

What about 4 seasons ?

Main novelty from a title carrying the new Microsoft console at arm's length, this mode is interesting because it allows you to rediscover the routes in a new light and not only visual since it changes the behavior to be followed, as in winter, or the freezing roads force the player to better contain your racing car and to control the skids, while offering him new routes to operate thanks to the lake that we can now cross.

In spring, the contrast is striking, the diversity of colors takes over and offers us flowery landscapes as well as its first drops and its muddy and slippery terrain. In autumn the landscape is obviously duller and the first leaves fall. Summer the sun takes over with drier landscapes, driving is more catchy even if it depends each time on the floor coverings.

Each season, its specificities, as well as the variety of routes, both in the meadows, the market towns to cross, its forests, its hills, its freezing lakes but also the cities to cross.

Once the discovery moment is completed and the online mode activated, you will find yourself facing other pilots, up to 72 by assignment and each season will last 1 week with new content and challenges renewed every week.

All this for the sole purpose of bring together a player community who will see the same roads at the same time with the same season and the same traffic (because of many obstacles will stand in your way). For more impact on the community side, the developers have integrated the function "Mixer" so everyone can listen to the same music.

We almost want to play it, remix electro version of Vivaldi's track and your famous piece of 4 seasons, on the ears. Fortunately for us, we can adjust the music according to radio broadcasts until we find the one that seems most appropriate to us. All under the cheers of commentators with channels in French and English accent.

Graphically successful, we appreciate the return of spring and its wet paths

The graphics, a beautiful visual rendering?

We must recognize that we are taking a real visual slap driven by the computing power of the X Box One X which gives us a great demonstration with 4K HDR images and an AAA title obviously optimized for this new console.

There is no slowdown problem and even less bug even when playing online multiplayer. On the other hand, you will have to choose between the setting at 60 fps or 4K. We advise you to choose 4k in 30 frames / second at the start of handling in order to appreciate the visual rendering at its fair value and then move on to a perfect fluidity in 60i / s if the slightest jerky effect bothers you. But these are only details that do not interfere with the pleasure that can be derived from each part.

There are careful details and an optimized visual rendering even if we find it strange to see the walls of stone cobblestones flying away in which we sink, like ordinary cardboard.

the big cars are in the spotlight in this new episode

And for the Gameplay ?

Few changes compared to the previous episode, we find the main maneuvers. The rewind which makes it possible to go back after having taken a wall is once again at work because it makes all the vehicles go back so that you can resume your turn. You will be able deactivate driving aids to get more bonuses and credits.

As novelty, we find the menu My Horizon Life which is a summary of your level of progression in the championships. Once you have crossed the thresholds, you will unlock awards like emotes, credits but especially new events.

Otherwise, there are many maneuvering possibilities for driving, but less developed than in real racing simulations. It’s a game more arcade-oriented / simulation, aimed at a wider audience. Although the possibilities of evolution of the driving are present, you will have to spend long hours there before hoping to beat the top seeds thanks to a fine and precise steering.

Otherwise, you can upgrade your car by making it gain in skill in order to push the player not to be too volatile in the choice of your racing cars but more to cherish it to raise it in rank.

You can upgrade vehicles and give them more power

What are the cars and activities ?

You will be able drive a large number of cars more than 450 in total including 4 × 4, racing car of race or car collection and more modest cars from more than 100 different manufacturers. We will find the biggest manufacturers like Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Mclaren (The McLaren Senna, star car is honored in the trailer).Also more modest cars like 4X4 where the Mini Cooper S, the Citroën 2CV6 and even the james bond car.

The races are customizable, you can choose:

  • time.

  • the season.

  • weather.

  • customize your vehicle.

  • Adjust the difficulty level of AI (software).

There are many secondary challenges as :

  • danger signs: that you will have to destroy.

  • The influence panels to recover : you will wander on a section of the English map looking for them, whether in the cities (metro, park, parking lot) or on the English coast…

  • scenic spots : you go in search of a mill, an old English castle and others to unlock bonuses.

  • the barns: are 15 in number and scattered all over the map to unlock vehicles like the Jaguar XJ 220.

  • radar challenges or you will have to pass in front at the highest possible speed.

  • stunt challenges: or you will have to make the most beautiful jumps.

  • Exotic clashes like with a train or even a fighter plane.

These missions accomplished will allow you to unlock many vehicles and circuits.

Speed ​​race with a fighter plane, not very realistic but fun!

THE VERDICT OF ELECTROGUIDE 

Forza Horizon 4 video game

Forza Horizon 4 reinvent your style with the appearance of the 4 seasons in Great Britain which allows you to rediscover the game in a new light, not only changing its visual appearance but also changing the driving style to adopt. Getting started is easy and accessible to beginners for a more turned title arcade than its counterpart. The universe wants to be fun and accessible to a large audience with a online mode to accommodate up to 72 rivals and offering many challenges in order to unlock cars and bonuses.

We regret, however,no novelty in gameplay and loading times too long for online games.The title is optimized for the X Box One X in 4k HDR but in 30 frames / second.
