The goofiness of this reminds me of the various game modes in Midtown Madness 3.
So basically they should adapt those too.

Forza Horizon 4 introducing Battle Royale mode
- Thread starter Biosnake
- Start date
Man, I think Microsoft owns the Midnight Madness IP right?
Also fun fact, DICE made Midtown Madness 3. I did not know that.
Get out of here.
Preach it.
Also the lack of story and real human feeling opponents sucks so much ass. If they could make something that's a combination of 3 and 4's strengths, with some more of the great tracks in 1, with the motivation, characters, and basic story structure of 1, and then idk, throw in like, bikes too, and then give it a water sport expansion, they would have The Greatest racing game of all time.

Stadia marketing eats shit again.
More on topic does the GP edition cover this as well?
This is cool as hell. I love how batshit the idea is; really looking forward to trying this tomorrow.
The fact you can't reject challenges makes this interesting. Part of my lack of interest with BR is how you're not doing anything interesting much of the time. It's the downtime. Since the entire game is based on driving, you're constantly doing the thing the game was based on even when you're not challenging someone.
Bottom line is Playground deserves credit for thinking outside the box and being creative.

Heck yeah.
Perfect opportunity to brand an update with the Midtown Madness logo and add tag, hunter & prey, and stayaway game modes.
No wai.
Horizon games have their issues, but the pseudo plot of the first game was ugh.
All they need to do is find a way to use their open-world other than being a 10268706780th Ubisoft clone.
There are some ideas in H4 with their unlock structure, but it's still just a collectathon model.
They need something akin to RPG quests.
Hunter is the best.
Forza Horizon has probably made Midtown Madness again unlikely but hey, maybe a much denser City based Forza Madness in spirit would be a welcome change and add a Forge mode on top, that's my dream.
Not what I expected
When a AM2 developed Outrun Battle Royal where 100 ferraris race from Patagonia, reaching checkpoints through South, Central and North America, till the goal in the North Pole? That's my dream game.

Can anyone clarify why if when I fired up the game and I was still on the Lego's expansion, if I traveled to Great Britain (the mainland) to check this out, and then quit the game, when I launched it again I was back in the Lego's expansion? Do I need to do something specific when I quit the game to be back on the mainland next time I launch it? Because that is annoying to have to travel back every time.
You've probably set the LEGO house as your main property. Just set one of the houses back on the mainland as your main house.
Thanks. It has been months since I have played so I forgot one needs to visit one of the houses to call that "home."
And to clarify, it really just has been quite some time. I am an older gamer, I like to play all sorts of games as I prefer variety. I have not been one to play one game for months at a time for at least a decade.
With that said fantastic job on the game. Definitely one of my favorites of the past two years.
Not exactly. Basically everything takes place on the normal Horizon 4 map; you roam around looking for opponents, challenge them to 1v1 races to a certain point, and if you win you get to take their car or upgrade your own. Rinse and repeat; as time passes the "circle" gets smaller so it funnels people together like in a normal BR.
There's no circuit/point-to-point racing with multiple people, you eliminate people one by one.
I played like 4 rounds and I just found them in mostly random places it seemed. Like at one point I was lost in the woods and found one, so really not sure and would love to also hear if anyone has figured out if there is any pattern to where they are.
EDIT - I will add I did hear the voice at the beginning of the match say they were near buildings. That has not been my experience.
They are aware of the game design flaws in FH4. That much I know.
There's a conflict between the content offered in the game and what people WANT to do.

I have never wanted to play a versus race in the Forza games. Always feel like I'm going to ruin other people's good time or some people take it too seriously.
This battle royals thing is finally a mode I'm happy to play. I'm bad at it, but at least I'm having fun and the inherent chaos means everyone is on the same page.
The info ticker in the corner shows people finding good cars right away, so there must be some good drop locations but I can't find them.

I've been playing this gamemode, and it's made me realise how much I love FH4 again.
It's really fun. Could use some work, but I love the mad dash towards the end. I think the main problem is just the map itself, too many fields you can easily bound across. I kinda miss FH3's Australia for the diversity of environments.
