Forza games are all about racing, and although Forza Horizon has much more of a party feel to it than Motorsport has, your driver doesn’t usually join in with the banter and jokes within the game. That was until—The driver finally speaks!

Your character will now respond to what the festival managers and other NPCs in the game say to you. You cannot choose your responses because I mean, come on, this isn’t a Bioware game! However, having some back and forth chat is a welcome change in our opinion.

In previous games, the Driver (you) would just stand there gleefully as the NPCs around you complimented your driving and had a little joke with you. It was a little lifeless, to be honest. Now, on the other hand, you have a fully talking protagonist equipped with an English accent.

The conversation does flow a lot more naturally now and sounds a lot better. This is a good decision that Playground Games have made, as they obviously want the game to feel as immersive as possible, and now it feels even more immersive indeed!
