    I remember the car club I was in the OG Forza....racing was all legit, turn bumping-kicked out...overly aggressive-kicked out....stupid talk-kicked out. But when the race was done we would line up in the order that we placed at the finish line and wait for the last guy so we could all get credits. Good times

    Fh1 didn't have as much freedom offroad or things you can crash into as mentioned in the video. Lots of invisible walls. Wasn't till fh2 where there was a little more freedom and destructible items, then fh3 really embraced that and took it further.

    The most fun i've ever had in video gaming, period, was the short time when Forza Motorsports 4 and Horizon 1 were new and active. I truly feel like FM4 is the last one made by car guys for car guys, with a massive car/track list. I still play to this day. The open world aspect of FH1 was a game changer, literally. I spent thousands of hours on those games with my friends. I will never forget those memories. The newer games are great but they really lack the essence of what made the early titles special.

I wish for fm8 they would do more cars like that instead 750 ferraris, 900 lambos and suvs. I also wish they would do more visual changes.

    IIRC They came to these companies as car lovers, first and foremost and made it clear they weren’t just trying to smash the cars up purely for silly video game reasons.
    They really helped the manufactures see the big picture; that there were a lot of potential fans and potential customers if they were willing to play ball.

    Forza Horizon 1 and 2 will forever be unmatched. Nothing can beat the atmosphere those two games had

      Yeah same, but for me the 3rd one also belongs to the best horizons of the series

    God damn it Dan you did it. You make me a car guy. Before this I was thinking my first to be some fuel efficient corsa, but after this I bought myself an E39, from that day last year I not became a car guy, but a BMW fanboy. Thank you Dan.

    I didn't get a 360 until 2012 so i would always look forward to going to the store to play the forza horizon demo. I swear it was the most realistic game I'd ever seen and it would blow my mind every time i played it. I wasn't even into cars yet but that game had me hooked. One of the first games i got for my 360 was forza and i was not disappointed after waiting all that time.
