I'm getting the impression you didn't play Forza Horizon 1 or 2. When you get to an event, it basically is a track racer. Its a real racing game with real competitive gameplay. |
I didn't play the second one. I did play and finish the first one. The track racing wasn't all that great as the layouts weren't optimized for racing. It worked better as a point to point racer, yet there were still many akward turns and bumps. Maybe evolution studios is just better at track design. The tracks all work exceptionally well in DC. They're easy to memorize, yet hard to master. I can't really remember much of the race layouts of FH1, which is also partly because of the open world as pieces get re-used. Most of what I remember is where you go to the far corners of the map, up the hill and to the dam, those sections were better designed for racing.
FH1 was a lot of fun yet after 15 hours I had seen everything and completed the game. Setting better times didn't keep me going in that game. (I didn't have gold so no multiplayer) DC I've easily spend over 150 hours with so far and I haven't raced online on that one either. It's the awesome track design and challenges that keep me coming back, plus 30 unique tracks with 78 layouts (166 if you add drift and sprint sections) in 6 unique locations keeps it fun. Plus it still manages to surprise me now and then with unique atmospheric conditions.
