FH4 car handling felt a bit stiff to me. Didn't try FH5. FH3 was the only game I played on my Xbox One S for a long time. The only game that I actually got the DLC for (Hot Wheels) and regretted paying for that. Wasn't as much fun.
Yeah. That's the crazy thing. For a game that's just cars roaming around a huge map and almost nothing else (I did the races for a few days but then just gave up), it's a crazy time sink. It kept me from trying out any other game on Xbox One S. And since I had a 4K HDR TV, a lot of time was spent marveling at the beautiful HDR effects especially during night scenes.
FH5 was the one that had a lot of crazy spectacle races and special scenarios. I heard that aside from the mech race, FH6 didn't go as crazy with those races as FH5 did.
Maybe, just maybe it hasn't been done before because it makes zero sense? This actually makes me angry, because I can imagine the corporate boardroom meeting where they decided to put it in. It doesn't make the game any better. It is just a key jangle that any reasonable person should see right through.
It's like the races in FH5 where you had to race against stuff like jet-skis, a plane, a giant hovercraft (that might have been FH4, my memory is fuzzy), or even a f*cking train, among other things. When they decided to have FH6 take place in Japan, no doubt they were like "hey it's Japan so we gotta throw a giant mech in there!" The story has all kinds of ridiculous nonsense in it. I remember an event in FH5 where I was in the Warthog from the Halo series and the environment was changed to be Halo-esque, and they had Halo-related music and sound effects, and they made it look like I was on a battlefield with laser fire and explosions and sh1t.
That sounds cool!
