I thought I’d have a look at 4za Hori4on 4 cause it’s on Game Pass and I fancy a knob around in cars after I’ve played nothing but JRPGs, BRs and shit.
First impressions are that it’s ... SHUT THE FUCK UP, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. God the voices are just ear grating, first time on TV, try-hard children’s presenters. I want to run them all over and scrape their corpses 5 miles up a beautiful country road.
But the graphics are fantastic and the countryside is gorgeous. If you’d told me this was next-gen, I’d believe you.
The first 5 races or so have been pretty dull so far though, but with the graphics, the banging ass choons and the sound of my Ford Focus brumming about it’s kinda got me interested to play some more.
I’ve got to say though, the voiceover woman being able to say your name is pretty special (assuming your name is on the big list at the beginning of the game) but that is immediately ruined by everyone else referring to you as “it’s you” “hey you” or, even worse, if you choose a female character some guy refers to you as “him” in the first shunt mission about 20 minutes in.
Still, if the fucking thing would like me just race and drive my car about I’m sure I’d be having a betterer time but, no, we’ve got to have a story mode in here and obtain “influence” because social media and bollocks I’d couldn’t give a rats arse about. It’s like Need for Speed Underground all over again but with better graphics.
