South Africa has a decently well established car culture ngl. It may not be unique to SA but I live in a smaller city and there's always car shows with thousands of modified cars. It'd be cool to see the east coast (mainly Durban and maybe pmb with the warm environment, Indians , Africans, and beaches), west coast( Well developed Cape Town with many coloureds), northern/central SA( offroad desert-like conditions with many farms and whites ) and then Joburg and Sandton as the hub for economic activity with all races there. It'd be cool to have different vibes at different areas and to see all the major races in fh6
SA would be nice but will be too similar to FH3. Australia and South Africa are very much the same landscape wise so I highly doubt they will use South Africa.
you SA guys get super cool special edition BMWs made specifically for SA, like the 333i and the M1-powered 745i amongst many other cool ones. i can’t say i’m not jealous 😂
Sweden has a massive car culture, we love modifying cars in Sweden, both JDM and European cars, also one of the biggest shows in Europe for modified European and JDM cars is in Sweden, it`s called Vallåkraträffen ( outside of Helsingborg in Southern Sweden ) it attracts several thousands of visitors and tons and tons of cars, it`s held on an a airfield, so big open space to walk around. We also have some of the biggest shows for American cars in the world, here in Sweden, it used to be called Power big meet and be held in Västerås Sweden, and many many thousands of cars were shown there, it was just like walking around on the of the biggest us car shows in America, sadly a robbery one years forced a move to Lidköping, but a show called Västerås Summer meet is still held in Västerås yearly We have lots of car shows throughout the whole summer,, even weekly car shows, that take part every week at the same place and some can attract 1000:s of cars, if the weather is good enough and the event is well known. So if you want to visit car shows, Sweden is the country for you :) Sweden are also famous for our Epa and A-tractor culture (basically normal cars modified to only runt at 30 km/h ( 20 mph ) and be driven by 15-year olds, but truth be told, most of them go much faster than 30 km/h. Also Gatebil is held in Norway, not Sweden. And don`t forget : Koenigsegg is made in Sweden, southern part of Sweden, would be awesome to drive around my home state in Sweden in Forza, i know it will never happen, but still :)
I live in Germany but have lived in Sweden for 6 years and I think both have their features that would be fun to see. The Epa-culture is the biggest part i saw on a daily basis. And Volvo, Polestar, Koenigsegg and some other car brands like Saab come from Sweden. We also have a rally racing scene on f.ex. frozen lakes and stuff... Imagine them doing a world map slowly so they already have mexico, england etc. 🙈
I don't think Japan is overrated. The problem I see with it is that Playground could never live up to the expectations of the players. We (almost) all want a big modern city. And Playground has already proven several times that they don't want to give us that. I see the danger that, like Mexico, it will simply be a wide-open map with streets that are far too wide. On top of that, there will be destructible barriers so that you can drive across country. All in the interest of multiplayer and at the expense of the imersion...
True there's a lot of pressure to make the game perfect and if it's sub-par then the community would be so disappointed - And yeah I really hope Playground don't tailor the map towards the Eliminator like they did with FH5, that would be pretty annoying :/
@Yuwan Thayakaran You are both wrong, it never about perfection make japan it. They not want make same Mistake. Import tuner challenge. A game that single handily killed a franchise of Highway battle and Touge. It failed because xbox game.
My suggestion is Denmark, Sweden & Norway. One huge map, but separated. To get to Sweden you have to drive over the epic bridge from denmark etc.. and it will have many different types of areas and biomes
My dad grew up in Mendoza, Argentina in the 80s and there was a car street scene. My uncle had a Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt (in argentina it was named Ford Falcon) and he has told me a bunch of times how they went to a parking that was near to a park on the weekends and there many modified cars (specially Chevrolets and Fords). I still have the photo of my uncle's Ford Falcon that was taken before I was born. My uncle still lives in Argentina and owns a sixth gen Ford F-250 but he sold the Falcon some years after he got married. Now the most popular modified cars in Argentina are the Volkswgaen Jetta (there is called Bora, basically a gen 4 Jetta), Sciroccos, Golfs and Ford Focus
I agree and that's why Japan would be perfect - a colorful modern city at night, beautiful colorful nature (especially trees), those colorful old Japanese buildings and beautiful mountains including iconic Mt. Fuji. I actually hate offroad in FH, so I wouldn't mind a bit of a lack of offroad in Japan, although you can find it there, but I am afraid the emphasis of Forza on offroad makes Japan less likely :/
honestly i think new Zealand would be a great one as xbox is quite popular here, and the mountain driving roads and great rally roads not only that theres some cool cities here and great off roading so personally it sounds like a really good pick
I really want it to be set in Dubai, Dubai has everything to offer, deserts, mountains, the best cities and suburbs, and great highways, I think it'd make the perfect map.
Would be incredible to see the UAE, but I feel like there's a lack of nature (Forests, lakes etc) which will deter the devs from setting their game there :(
@@YuwanThayakaran honestly no one really cares about forests as much as they do for a nice skyscrapers and nice cities. But Uae has a fair bit of those.
I think Philippines is the best location for FH6. It has a big city with overpass highways and cool locations. It also has big mountains and good beaches. That would be a perfect place for the next game!
One cool idea would be if they made a map 1 to 1 scale but with a much smaller country like Lichtenstein. This way the map is beautifully detailed and we get the full experience that country has to offer.
I mean tbh we actually have a big car culture here in South Africa, mostly offroad and german cars but anyways I think FH6 has high steaks to be set in western europe or some other diverse asian country (not japan tho like tbh we've been hyping this up many times and I feel like it's destined to fail, sadly :/ )
It could be Lisbon (Portugal). Lisbon is a safe city and has a beautiful culture. See the Atlantic Ocean, and even see the castles around there! I'm Portuguese btw.
I like the cities like yeah horizon 6 can be a city but maybe for horizon 7 it could be Italy because it would be so fun driving your little Mini Cooper or something through slim Italian streets I mean come on man
I think Austria would be a great location for the next Horizon game. It has big mountains with winding roads, cities like Vienna and some beautiful hills. But it also has some propper car culture. For example the "GTI Treffen", which is probably the biggest meeting of VW fans all over Europe.
My best picks: Sweden - Snowy and colder climate, Volvo, nice European and JDM car culture. Japan - Obvious, car culture and big cities. The U.S - Again, but a new part of the country. American car culture and good terrain and cities. Iberia (Spain & Portugal) - Spanish car culture and kinda new terrain. Beautiful shores.
germany has beautiful country roads too, i know from experience bc i am german, and beautiful castles, and good big cities, snow in the alps and so much more all we need in forza
I do think there's a good chance PGG will deliver Japan for Horizon 6 because they no longer have to consider the restrictions of the Xbox One generation I feel like they were waiting for that chance so they can deliver a proper chance to show off Japan in all it's beauty
New England USA, We got... Boston (Modern City) Hampton Beach (Beach) Pease Air Force Base (Airport Runway) White Mountains (Great Veiws) All 4 seasons New Hampshire Motor Speedway (Racetrack)
I honestly dont care where Horizon goes next, all I want is a return to the summer vacation vibes of Horizon 2 (and Horizon 3 to some extent.). Also asking people where they think the nexy Horizon game will take place, you wont get theories as to the next likely location, you will instead get what they _wish/hope_ is the next location.
Would be cool to see the USA come back. What im saying is make an extra extra big map like four times the size of fh5 with the west coast and up to montana and washington and then down to nevada and arizona. Imagine all the types of diffrent roads, winding hill roads in cali, snowy season in montana and offroad, canions and long straight roads in the desert ext. The exploration would be INSANE. Edit: the states would be conected by a sistem of highways. And the story would start in one state and as you level up the person that leads you through the game would be like hey where expanding to montana! Something like the festival sistem in FH3.
Don't get me wrong, all of the locations you mentioned would be good but I feel like a hood location would be New England. Of course not all of it but the major points. Boston is a modern city with a boat load of history. The Cap is a great beach/sandy area, and up in New Hampshire you have forest and mountains. Imagine drifting on one of the largest mountains in the Appalachian mountains. The climate is very similar to Horizon UK but that's something we should go back to. The summers are hot and a bit dry but humid, the fall time in New England is the most beautiful in the world. And our winter is harsh and cold. I am from New England so I am a little bais. There could be a story mission with the Team O'Neill driving school up in the White mountains and teach drifting, rallying, skid control, all that sort of stuff.
I think Colombia is a perfect location, it has amazonas, the nicest jungle, sierra de santa marta, which has Nice mountains with snow, it has boyacas paramounts and cold forests, Nice beaches, the cauca valley, Bogotá Savanna, and the tatacoa desert, it has all You can imagine
Scandinavia deserves to be in FH6. Not because I'm personally swedish but we don't have many, or almost got no racing or car games based in scandinavia. All of the scandinavian countries would have been perfect as a mix. Norway for drifting through the mountains, sweden for rallying through the forests and southern sweden plus denmark for cities and motorways.
I think your take on Scandinavian car culture is weird. First off: Volvo and Saab are from Sweden and people love to customize them. I don't know how many V8-swapped Volvo Amazon, 140, 240, 740 and 940 there are. Guys who RWD swap Saabs. There are companies that build limos and ambulances out of them. We have EPA tractors, which are classic Volvos shortened to be registered as tractors so teenagers can drive them (would be fun to have a separate class). Scandinavians also love old American cars, some say you're more likely to see good-condition American cars on the roads here than in the US. We also have other vehicles that haven't been represented in Forza yet. Beyond Saab/NEVS, we have the Indigo 3000 (a sports car built out of Volvo parts which was built in a few hundred copies in the late 90's and then re-entered production in the 2020's) and Tjorven, a vehicle built for the postal service and is kinda like a four-wheel Reliant Robin.
I really want another Australian or new zealand because I live in New Zealand and there are really nice windy and rural roads to drive on like the Arthur's pass and porters pass and Luis pass and most of the pics about Switzerland look like ew Zealand and just the forza 3 map😊😊 was awesome
In Sweden we have Gatubil in mantorp and its nearly the same event as Gatebil but its more Garman cars then japanese. I live in Sweden and the car culture is pretty big with German cars being super popular. We also have Epa tractors that is cars that cant go over 30km/h and most of them are modified Bmw or Volvos.
As a swede I can confirm Sweden has a semi diverse car culture, mostly modified volvos and other “shitboxes” aka “epatraktor”, but also some supercars.
I swear to god fh6 better be set in Japan 😩 and if they do. They better do it justice and go all out with modern car culture customization or just customization in general .they could also add in tandem drift races for a new race category
Patagonia may be a good location but because of the relationship the Argentinains have against the British it may be next to impossible for Playground Games to scan the country.
Poland would be nice option here, big city, villages and forests, narrow mountain roads like in japan, lakes, rivers, nice long highways. Varied locations that wold balance the whole map
On the Patagonia point, I would much rather be the entire Argentina. We have a lot of climate and ambient diversity, more on the north of the country with places such as Selva Misionera, La Puna, Andes, the cities of Córdoba, Buenos Aires and Rosario, you literally have places and with not much in them to places which have tons of elevation changes. Also car community, even if it's on a lifeline we have one, mainly cheap hatches up to old made in Argentina muscle cars and you have the odd supercar and JDM car that were brought here through Paraguay.
Langabaan Swartland Cape Town Draakensberge mountain chain Port Elizabeth Knaysna I can go on( i know I misspelled some of the names) but south Africa has variety to choose from and i am from south Africa and i am quite on the road often and i saw sights that will make you wow in surprise
Maybe make a Forza like the crew with entirety of US as the Map give players a choice between arcade, simcade or sim handling I'd love to see a Forza like that.
These counrties would probably be good: - Japan - India - Egypt - Norway - South America (Comlubia + The amazone rainforest) + Chile - Amsterdam - Canada
Scandinavia has good vararity in the cars culture and car modding scene. And we love all forms of racing, both on the road and offroad. Btw we scandinavians was drifting before it became cool in japan ;)
i feel like the next one is gonna be in japan like a tokoyo drift themed forza horizon or they are gonna make a dlc that is tokodrift thats what i have a feeling of.
The issue with Japan isn`t that it would be a bad location for a Horizon game, but rather that it would be a terrible fit for horizon as we currently know it. Japan has a huge and varied car culture, and doing Japan`s car culture justice would require a focus primarily on JDM cars, as well as the specific types of primarily street racing that we know Japan for. The car list would have to shrink significantly (not necessarily a bad thing), and each car would have to offer a level of customisation that would put to shame NFS` best. The map would need to be massive and be as close to a 1:1 scale as possible, and the mountain roads would need to be at least as narrow as those in the rally expansion for FH5. The roads in general would need to be narrower, in fact. The whole Horizon festival progression situation would either have to be tossed out entirely, or completely rethunk, with a focus or rising through the ranks, and gaining the respect of the locals. To put things simply, expectations for what a game set in Japan are too high, and Horizon in it`s current form woudln`t really work, not only for the reasons I`ve already mentioned, but also because in order for them to do Japan justice and really focus on that culture, they would have to basicly neglect those who maybe care less about JDM cars and car culture. It would be perfect if they ever decide they want to make horizon more focused, though
I think Scandinavia would be great, but Norway wants to ban Petrol Cars till 2025 and Germans (which I am sadly sometimes) reduce Sweden to Köttbullar and Ikea. Finland would be better because of Kimi Raikkönen.
I'm surprised that no one has thought of the south of France (Nice, Monaco, Northern Italy etc) because the variety of cars and landscapes and the mountain ranges and the weather could all add up to be a great FH6 location
There was something similar in Horizon 2, where we had a kind of mini Europe. I would find something like that quite appealing. The map was really great for its time.
Hahah. You know what, that would be sick! With a bunch of countryside, maybe some of those states up and around New York too. Great area. Beautiful places indeed, and ofc a big city
