Dan Greenawalt, head of Turn 10 Studios on collaborating with the UK-based Playground Games. Of course it's a risk, but some of the best racing games in the last twenty years have come out of the UK racing game development studios. That's how they see themselves, that's how we see them, it's how they see us. So I think yes, they are challenged by the customers the same way we are to surprise them with innovation. I have respect for their ability to come up with great ideas.
When asked about Playground Games' involvement, Dan Greenawalt said, "I wouldn't trust this partner as much as I do if I didn't expect them to surprise me and surprise our players.

Other aspects of game-play include an auto-show, in which the player can buy or sell cars a garage, in which the player can manually or automatically upgrade their cars, and a paint shop, in which players can create custom paints, liveries, and paint presets for their vehicles. In addition to races, the map is scattered with barn find cars, rare classical vehicles that can be restored and added to the players garage for later use. Those rivals can then attempt to beat the shared time. Cameras record player times, which can then be shared among rivals. Speed traps are present in the game, and players can challenge each other for the top speed in a given area. Being the main theme of the game, a large focus of the game is on the festival itself and activities surrounding it, rather than just racing. In an interview with Turn 10's creative director Dan Greenawalt, he stated the game was developed in close relation to real music festivals-namely Coachella-and that he envisioned a more relaxed game-play experience than other games in the Forza series, while keeping a more realistic handling style. As a player's popularity level increases new special events are unlocked, such as races against helicopters and planes. These can be chained together in a combo, which in turn affects the money players are paid at the end of a given race. Acts such as drifting, jumping over obstacles and getting a car on two wheels all contribute to the player's popularity level. A skill system is implemented in the game players earn popularity during races by driving aggressively. The races start at the current location, and finish at a randomly generated way-point, usually more than 500 metres away from the player and their opponent. Players may challenge the other racers they encounter to a one-on-one race to a given location. The roads feature both AI traffic and, when playing online, other player-controlled drivers. It features multiple types of races, such as drifting competitions, off-road rally, and traditional point-to-point races. The open-world map that players can explore is based on the U.S. Here a Ferrari F40 races a biplane in a point-to-point race.įorza Horizon focuses specifically on casual street racing, rather than professionally on race tracks, as it takes place on a map of temporarily closed public roads. Gameplay įorza Horizon features an updated version of the Forza Motorsport 4 engine. The game was delisted from the Xbox 360 Marketplace on October 20, 2016, following the expiration of its car branding licenses. It has since spawned its own series, with four additional sequels to date: Forza Horizon 2 in 2014, Forza Horizon 3 in 2016, Forza Horizon 4 in 2018, and Forza Horizon 5 in 2021. Upon its release, Forza Horizon received critical acclaim. Unlike previous games in the Forza series, Forza Horizon takes place in an open-world that players can explore. Taking place during the fictitious Horizon Festival, a street racing event, the player's aim is to progress via winning races, while also increasing their popularity level by performing stunts and activities. The game is the fifth instalment of the Forza series, having originally spun-off from Turn 10 Studios' Forza Motorsport series. Forza Horizon is a 2012 racing video game developed by Playground Games and published by Microsoft Studios for the Xbox 360 on 23 October 2012.
