Welsh roads are indeed incredible.
and watch out for these buggers
There's also some brilliant welsh rally stages
You can't drive for long before some pair of dudes stop in front of your car's way expecting you to stop and rob your ass in Brazil.
Impossible concept.
I mean, ideally, you'd make a game that caters to people who will actually buy the console, so UK seems like the logical choice, even if Japan would be superior by pretty much every metric. Japan would like the fact that it exists and maybe compliment it, but they'd never play it, because they have to buy (gasp) a non-Japanese console to play it.

They could play it on PC also, though they aren't the hugest PC gamers either.
Hopefully they go for more realism this time and have potholes and crumbling tarmac everywhere.
Not super into the idea, no doubt it will still be a good game but after getting Japan rumors this is just sorta stale in comparison.
Wouldn't mind a FH4 UK. Would love to see the countless YouTube videos on Spaghetti Junction confusion. Would also be a blast to scream a Ferrari up the M1 from London to Scotland. You guys say it's all dull and shit, but the UK makes for a good location to showcase all sorts of weather effects: sun, rain, snow, fog, thunder/lightning etc. I'm sure PG would ace it, they're a top studio.
If you do race through Birmingham, you want it to be how it was a couple of years back and not the clusterfuck of roadworks and civil engineering it is at the moment...plus it will need this car.This game will be nothing if I'm not able to race a Sinclair C5 through the Bullring in Birmingham
According to this guy Japan is an absolute definite NO!

Nah, just give me lots of mountain roads, I don't care where.
His proof is some guy talking in twitch chat, doesn't seem very believeable to me that he is a developer. Most people knew that the Mt. Fuji picture was fake from the start, you don't need to be a dev to know it was fake. I still think it can be in Japan.
Doubt it will recreate any of the UK be more representation of the different biomes the UK has like the other Forza Horizon games so probably be a Lake district, a city, a bunch country villages, a sea side town etc. Just hope they fix performance Issues in the towns this time.
I don't mind the UK, seems like they have lots of material to draw from just by binge watching Top Gear and Fifth Gear. Maybe they can do this Jermey stunt ;)
Try Burma ;)
I'm not dangerous in most countries ; p
Try Burma ;)
no way. where do you think kids go to drift? mountains!
japan is the perfect setting for horizon, though the UK could also be great.

This times 100.
Too many uncultured heathen in this thread who haven't traveled/driven around the UK to see what it has to offer from a driving road perspective. It's one of the best countries in the world for that sort of thing. I live in Dubai and I wish we had the driving roads like we do back in the UK here.
Are they based in UK? I'm sure they get a tax break if the game is set here. Should help offset all the sales they will lose with the game being on Gamepass.
Have I played a different Horizon? Because the one I have played has become more and more flat to jive with the open world drive anywhere environment. Mountain roads won't ever be the main thing of this franchise. As an addon, sure, but even Blizzard Mountain was very open and not very mountaney.
If Fulton did indeed say that California was the runner-up for the first three Horizons as the setting I think that is very much a possibility (and preferably, because right side of the road). There seems to be quite some buzz lately that it's not Japan, which leads me to believe Microsoft wants to get that rumour out of the way before E3 so they don't have to deal with the disappointment after the announcement.
I'd be okay with this, but I was really hoping for somewhere in south america
it's lame when people do this for opinions tbh. like do you expect everyone to feel exactly the same about everything

Not sure what the big deal is about driving on the left, it's a racing games so you're most likely all over the road anyway. I never cared much about traffic laws in racing games lol.
