People complain that Horizon 4 is too hard with a steering wheel, and I find the new handling too easy on a controller, so I figured I’d try, but somehow my gas pedal doesn’t work in the game—yet the brake does.

And I really don’t enjoy how the game feels on gamepad 😕

Why is the Forza Horizon 4 demo giving me a 6-speed gearbox on a 1969 Dodge Charger or a 1982 Lancia Stradale.

I’d decided to try as many custom songs as I could (it’s easier now that there’s a Delete button right in Beat Saber) but there’s so much crap coming out every day — the prospect of going through a bunch of bad maps, even for ten seconds, actually began to sour me on the game.

I love that Playground decided it couldn’t portray the English countryside in Horizon without developing destructible drystone wall technology.

The driving model feels more arcadey than I remember, though. Or have I just played too much Dirt Rally?

Looks like Forza Horizon 4 has dialed down the obnoxiousness and walked back the structural changes that both made me give up on Horizon 3. Glad to have a good driving game again to burn off stress at the end of the day—I’m gonna need it come October.

This character creator is extremely good and it runs in a fucking browser 😲
