A Fujimi-Kaido-inspired move to the foot of Mt. Fuji is a fitting destination. Set the festival in the region to the south, with touge winding along the mountains on the outskirts, the city of Fuji, shutokou racing on National Route 1 along the coast, and Mt. Fuji serving as a scenic backdrop to the whole map, like Pike's Peak (or whatever it was supposed to be) off the eastern end of FH1's Colorado. 👍

I fully endorse the idea of a Horizon game that includes Fujimi Kaido.
 
I'm wondering what happens once you've done all the championships. Do they unlock all the previously completed races? And there appears to be a third set of Bucket List challenges either waiting to be unlocked or waiting on an update. Wasn't T10/PG promising all sorts of extra stuff to be available later?

I'm the same. I try to race clean, race smart, and practice the "slow in, fast out" type of cornering that produces fast lap times. So if I hear my drivatar is acting like an idiot, it disappoints me. I'll keep an eye out for your drivatar to see how it behaves.

I wonder how my drivatar behaves. :O To be honest, it all depends on my current mood as to how I'm driving, and whether I want to race, or just win because I'm on a mission of sorts.

I would honestly get FH2 before F5. Maybe you will get lucky and get F5 for free with your console like I did.

I just want to try Forza 5 honestly first, so I can try out a few courses in the game and get a look at its supposed awesome version of the Nurburgring. I'll get FH2 shortly after.

They are both very different you might as well get both. I am absolutely loving Forza 5, it is great especially with a wheel.

FM5's version of Long Beach and Mount Panorama are pretty impressive, too. I think Road America was completely redone, too. Oh, and then there's Prague. I really like that track.

Yup, this also means that Horizon 2 will become another game added to my list of games that I bought more than one port of.

Yup, I honestly really wanted to try long beach for a while and awesome; I love driving on Road America. That is going to be a joyous occasion for me.

You can be like me and buy both when you get your xbone. It was 600 total.

I prefer track racing over open world myself, FM is an excellent franchise and v5 is a very good next gen release. You should love the Nordschleife! While FH2 is impressive it is a little too much arcade for me but fun for a change of pace.

They might get me to buy an XBone for that...

Yes!
Hmm...maybe I still miss the old Genki Tokyo Xtreme Racer series, but I would think Horizon would do fairly well with the massive Shutoku Highway System. Dem tunnels!

I know it's such a minor detail in the game, but I adore how the music changes when you drive past an Event Hub.

I was noticing that, too, and thinking what a great little detail for the developers to pay attention to.

Great idea, but personally I think more of a "patchwork" open-world like in Horizon 1 and 2; there is Tokyo Central with the Festival at the center of the map, with Shinjuku, Akihabara, Minato, Ginza, Odaiba, Asakusa, Shibuya and Ikebukuro as districts, each having their Horizon Outposts. Nearby there are the cities of Osaka, Yokohama and Kyoto; all four cities are connected via the Wangan, which circumnavigates the map. Lastly, far, far off the map, there lies the Japanese countryside, and finally, Horizon 3's rendition of Fujimi Kaido. Overall, the map is one and a half times as big as TDU2's renditions of Ibiza and Oahu combined.

But something tells me that if Horizon 3 is held in Japan, the Bass Arena playlist will be 50% trance music, 25% J-pop, 10% eurobeat, 10% house, and 5% dubstep. XD

Ayumi Hamasaki and AKB48 confirmed for FH3's Horizon Pulse.

Speaking of Pulse, it has the absolute stupidest tagline I've yet heard: "Everybody's listening to Horizon Pulse! Are you?" 1. I must be if I just heard that, and 2, didn't you just say that "everybody" is listening to Pulse? Therefore there is no one who is not listening to it, including me.

How are you guys earning money? Feels like it takes forever in this game...

Edit. I'm on the 360 btw.

For me, the best way to earn money is to do the Ferrari 250 GTO bucket list challenge; it seems to have the highest payout of all of the events in the game; especially if you have the difficulty setting at maximum.

Bass Arena has a clever slogan, can't quite remember what it is though. "We cover the basses" or something like that. IL Radio's Hanni El Khatib is my favourite DJ though because he sounds like some random musician reading a script. :lol:

What would make Horizon 3 (and Xbox One in general) really awesome though would be the return of custom soundtracks.

Well, Bass Arena also has that tagline... :p

"All your bass are belong to us."

Yes!

Are there any Italian speakers here who can tell us what Giovanni the DJ is so annoyed about during the Radio Levante links? I assume he's doing a traffic report.
