00:05:21In the previous weeks we've been taking a look at different seasons
00:05:24But we're going to now have a look at Winter and how it changes Britain completely
00:05:29But here's what's coming up in the show
00:05:31We've got so much stuff packed for you guys
00:05:33We're going to be taking a look at the first time for Winter in the game
00:05:35With two of the developers who made it
00:05:37We've got new information on a brand new feature in the game, Car Mastery
00:05:41There's also a more detailed look at the returning Forza Fun feature
00:05:44And we've also got an exclusive deep dive into the amazing UI of Forza Horizon 4
00:05:49Which a lot of you have been really blown away by in the last few weeks
00:05:52We're also going to be having some fun
00:05:54Smashing some of the little boards around the Hidden Away
00:05:57Which are a big part of the Forza Horizon universe
00:06:00But we've also got a big giveaway for you guys
00:06:03So if you're watching over on Mixer.com forward slash Forza Motorsport
00:06:06You're going to be having a chance of winning this in-game cosmetic item
00:06:10So if you're watching there, get involved in the chat, ask questions
00:06:13Let us know what you think
00:06:14And you can get this awesome jumper
00:06:16Because I'm also joined by everyone, by Ralph and Ben
00:06:20Who've been involved for all the streams so far
00:06:22Okay, Ralph the creative director and also Ben the art director
00:06:25Thank you very much
00:06:26Like a couple weeks ago, Ralph, you said winter is your favourite, favourite season
00:06:31Right, why is that?
00:06:33Well, I hope everyone gets to see tonight why I said that
00:06:37It's still absolutely my favourite season
00:06:39It's come together really, really well
00:06:41In the game as we've been putting it together these last couple of years
00:06:44For me, it is the most visually different season
00:06:48It's really strikingly different from every other season
00:06:52It's incredibly beautiful
00:06:54And it also has such a range of gameplay as well
00:06:56Such a range of driving experiences
00:06:58From deep snow that you're going to plough through
00:07:01Icy roads
00:07:02Also, you know, there's some roads that don't have any snow in them at all
00:07:04Yeah, yeah
00:07:05So you get the full range of Horizon gameplay within the beautiful wintry world of Britain
00:07:09Yeah, because the world, as you said, has completely changed
00:07:12And Ben, being the art director
00:07:13You must have had to put so much work and effort to change that world
00:07:16Is it the biggest challenge that you've had through all the seasons?
00:07:21Yeah, I think that's fair to say
00:07:22It was definitely the biggest visual change, as Ralph said
00:07:25So that comes with a whole new set of challenges
00:07:28That we had to get our teeth stuck into and find some really good solutions to
00:07:32So yeah, we're going to be seeing the world very differently to the way we've been seeing it before
00:07:37We're actually starting off in the same location we were in last week
00:07:40So you're going to get to see how much that one location changes
00:07:43Yeah, so for anyone who's interested in going back and checking how much this world changes
00:07:47You can go back and watch the VODs of the previous streams
00:07:50Because we've already looked at summer and autumn, which have been awesome
00:07:53But we're going to be looking at winter today
00:07:56Also, if you guys have got any questions at all for Ralph or Ben
00:07:59Do make sure to get involved in the mixer chat and remember that giveaway as well
00:08:02But should we should we kind of get into some gameplay?
00:08:04Because I know I think that's what everyone always wants to see is like the changes and we can go
00:08:08into it
00:08:09So if we kick it off
00:08:11Ben, why don't you kind of get us started in like kind of the the art
00:08:15Sure, sure. Okay, so we are starting off as I said in the same location as last week
00:08:20So we're in Glen Rannoch
00:08:22Which is a combination of those two Scottish locations that I mentioned last week
00:08:27And as you can see this is the north of the map, so we've got some real heavy dense snowfall
00:08:31going on here
00:08:31And that's something that is specific to different areas of the map
00:08:36So the more elevation you get in the world, you'll get thicker snow
00:08:40As you get a bit more south, you'll get like less snow, but maybe more frost, more wet roads, that
00:08:45kind of thing
00:08:45So there's everything makes sense. Yeah
00:08:47Where the snow will be in the world
00:08:50It does look beautiful as well
00:08:52I think that's one of the biggest things is like all the little details
00:08:54So I want to kind of get into the water
00:08:55I know one of the biggest features is that the lake itself is frozen over
00:08:59I know there's been a lot of questions of people going is is all the water in the game going
00:09:03to be frozen?
00:09:04Or is it just going to be the lake? How's it going to?
00:09:06Not at all. I think you'll see you'll see tonight
00:09:08It's kind of a mix and like Ben says it's all about really the altitude of the of the particular
00:09:12area of the world
00:09:13Which determines whether the water is frozen or not
00:09:17But also that I think that really helps gameplay because it's it's super fun to go drifting out on a
00:09:24frozen lake
00:09:24But we all also still want to have gameplay where you can splash through lakes splash through rivers as well
00:09:30And you really get all of that in the winter season and I think eagle-eyed viewers will will recognize
00:09:36this has been said from from last week
00:09:37We're at the sort of Glenfinnan viaduct
00:09:40This is I think I think we're right up at the top of this mountain that we're kind of at
00:09:44the foot of
00:09:45We've seen that giant hovercraft
00:09:48We've with the hovercraft and the other stuff
00:09:52But it's just the perfect place to show how completely the world changes you know from season to season and
00:09:59particularly autumn to winter
00:10:00You know last week we had all those really sort of striking reds and oranges and yeah and browns
00:10:05And now you know the world is carpeted in white
00:10:08And like this is what I'm talking about. I think this
00:10:11This completely different really sort of stark aesthetic is just it's stunning to drive and it's stunning to look at
00:10:18And it's you know, it's why this is totally my favorite season
00:10:21Yeah, I also think there's one thing to touch on just before we kind of kind of go into it
00:10:24even more
00:10:25Is guys do remember this is a developer version of the of the game so there could be bugs
00:10:30There could be crashes as we found out last week like hopefully
00:10:33It has happened
00:10:34It has happened a couple of times, but we'll just kind of be taking a look at everything
00:10:38So Ben, I know right you're gonna hate me for asking this question again
00:10:42It's my normal thing because one of the things like looking through the world, okay
00:10:45Is one of the biggest changes from season to season that you can really see is the trees and how
00:10:50they've changed
00:10:51Yeah, yeah
00:10:52Right, so how's that working in the winter season?
00:10:54Sorry
00:10:55So as you can see they've lost all their leaves
00:10:58That's the thing that happens in winter
00:10:59After you worked so hard on the leaves
00:11:01After we spent so much time getting the leaves looking just right we strip them all off in winter
00:11:06But yeah, it's it's obviously a it's a very different look again
00:11:10It sort of plays into what ralph was saying and also I think you know
00:11:13We've heard quite a few people saying what did you learn from the development on on blizzard mountain and you
00:11:18know
00:11:18Is winter just like the experience we had in blizzard mountain?
00:11:21It's totally not right. It's a brand new visual as well
00:11:24I would say in that obviously australia has all those gum trees that keep their leaves all the time
00:11:29They never drop them so actually there was something really satisfying for
00:11:32For the art team this time to produce this kind of skeletal
00:11:36Horizon that you get with all the trees and losing their leaves in winter
00:11:39It's a it's a look we've never had in a horizon game before which is
00:11:42And I kind of kind of naively at the start of this project
00:11:45I thought that winter trees would be the easiest because you didn't have to do leaves
00:11:49Oh, yeah, yeah
00:11:51As did I?
00:11:52Turns out not not not not the case at all actually performance wise much much more difficult
00:11:57That's true. Yeah, that was a surprise to everybody on the art team
00:12:01But yes, it turns out the winter trees there they are
00:12:04They're even more difficult to do
00:12:06They're a lot more difficult to get that snow on there, right?
00:12:09There's one thing there is so much snow right in winter as we've seen
00:12:12Is there going to be parts of the world that aren't covered in snow or is it just kind of
00:12:16totally?
00:12:17Yeah, yeah, and I think I think that's a really important
00:12:20Thing for us and not just winter and all the seasons is making sure that you can do all of
00:12:25the things
00:12:25You want to do in a horizon game in that season. Yeah, and you know, that's true of all the
00:12:29seasons
00:12:30It was probably most challenging to make sure it was it was true in winter
00:12:34You know because obviously snow makes things hard, right?
00:12:38You know frost ice makes that it makes it more difficult to drive
00:12:41What we really didn't want to happen was that winter be this big difficulty spike within the game
00:12:46So we've done a bunch of things to try and avoid that
00:12:50But one of them is to make sure that there are still oh as andy just destroys a child snowman
00:12:56like callously
00:12:59You know one of the things is to make sure that there are loads of roads in the in the
00:13:02world
00:13:02Which actually aren't covered in snow that you can still take a hypercar out on yeah, and you know, not
00:13:07not have a terrible accident
00:13:09So yeah, you've got that total range of of gameplay
00:13:12Which means I think you know as you saw there where we're just driving on the frozen derwent water
00:13:17There's probably a greater range of gameplay available in winter than almost there is in any other season
00:13:21Yeah, so it still suits all those different driving styles that you want to kind of get involved in exactly
00:13:26There's a few questions from the chat as well motorized RC has just asked how do seasons change?
00:13:32So that's a good question the seasons seasons change weekly for everyone
00:13:37So it depends on whether you're in the game at the time the season changes
00:13:42Or not how you how you'll experience it and if you are and it's entirely possible that I think most
00:13:48people won't be playing the game
00:13:49At exactly the moment the season changes
00:13:52Because it will change at the same time for absolutely everyone regardless of time zone
00:13:57But if you are then the game will start counting down
00:14:00It'll be really clear saying that the season is going to change in you know 10 minutes five minutes
00:14:04Yeah
00:14:05And then when it does as long as you're not doing anything
00:14:08Which is to say you're not in the middle of an event for example
00:14:11We're gonna we'll take you out of that we'll show you a season transition cinematic
00:14:15And when the game fades back up you know 20 seconds or so later
00:14:20You will be in the next season if you're not in the game when the season changes as I say
00:14:25is more likely
00:14:27When you return to the game you bid it again you return from suspend
00:14:30Yeah
00:14:30The game will just say hey the seasons change it'll play that transition cinematic and you'll just start from where
00:14:36you go straight into it
00:14:37Yeah, so also one thing to just quickly look at as well is the last last week
00:14:41We took a look at the map very briefly for
00:14:44We did
00:14:44Autumn but we kind of have a quick look at the the map for winter
00:14:49Which is also we're going to show across all the social channels
00:14:52So if you look at twitter for to motorsport or instagram at for to motorsport official
00:14:56You can see the full winter map because it has changed quite a lot. Yeah, we're gonna go into it
00:15:01now
00:15:01I think just can see yeah, very very quick look
00:15:05And yeah, like you say completely changed so there is a different map screen for for each of the four
00:15:10seasons
00:15:11This is obviously the winter one which has to you know
00:15:14Recognize that the lake is frozen and a lot of the other water in the world is frozen as well
00:15:18It brings in the seasonal championships for for winter and obviously removes the ones from from autumn
00:15:25And then everything that sort of comes in just for that specific season you can see on the map as
00:15:30well, but we'll
00:15:31Well, as I said everyone gonna go check that out on twitter instagram
00:15:36If they kind of want to have a more detailed look at it
00:15:38But we're gonna say goodbye to you for a little bit. I know you're gonna be joining us back in
00:15:41the stream shortly
00:15:43But we've still got so much to come up in the stream as well
00:15:46So thank you very much to Ralph and Ben for joining us for the start of the stream
00:15:49But there's a more detailed look at the returning for us from feature
00:15:53We've also got an exclusive developer deep dive into the amazing ui of forza horizon 4
00:15:57We're also going to have some fun trying to smash all those devicily placed bonus boards
00:16:01Which are a staple for rising games, but right now we're looking at car mastery and Ralph isn't going anywhere
00:16:06because that Ralph is actually staying here
00:16:08Right is this is that I'm talking about car mastery
00:16:11But I think we're rejoined by Ben who I think can tell us what is car mastery
00:16:15Hello again. Yep, so car mastery
00:16:18If I get straight into the menu to show you
00:16:20Basically, this is our new way to
00:16:24Earn skills and then spend those skill points on cars
00:16:28So in forza horizon 2 and forza horizon 3 we have one kind of global set of perks that you
00:16:34could spend your skill points on
00:16:35Yeah, and
00:16:36And we got a lot of kind of good feedback from this we really enjoyed using the system ourselves
00:16:40It went down really well one thing kind of we realized was that once you'd unlocked every perk
00:16:45There wasn't really much else to do you couldn't buy anything else
00:16:48So we thought to ourselves well, how do you how do you be having you know a grid of?
00:16:5225 or even three times that from horizon 3 and we decided
00:16:57Let's add a skill tree to every car
00:16:59So we're now looking at the ford raptor
00:17:02F-150 and you can see that this is its car mastery tree
00:17:06So starting in the bottom left here. We've got something that will give you some instant car collection influence
00:17:12So that'll actually go towards your campaign that we were talking about last week. So I'm going to unlock that
00:17:17one
00:17:19I'm going to move through the menu a little bit
00:17:21Here's something that will give you a bonus in event finish influence. So again going towards campaign
00:17:26Um, we've got some new ones. This is a big big favorite of mine extra life. So now
00:17:31Each skill chain takes two collisions to break. So that's that's absolutely brilliant
00:17:34So if you want to get those drift zones, especially forts fun live
00:17:36Which we had a look at right doing those perfectly for those kind of drift spaces unlock that and if
00:17:41you've got the mastery
00:17:42It's going to help you out massively and getting those change. How do you go about earning the points?
00:17:46So you earn the points by banking skills in the world
00:17:49So the skill system is as it kind of returns anything cool that you do you'll get that instant feedback
00:17:54So drifting wreckage air you start kind of earning those at the top of the screen
00:17:58And you chain them together and they will build and build into a bigger and bigger combo and then you
00:18:03bank all of those points
00:18:04And as they kind of um increase you then earn skill points to spend here
00:18:10Right, so what what are the kind of what are the ones that we have within the uh ford raptor
00:18:14space?
00:18:15So so you've got you've got extra life
00:18:17Yeah, so this is all about cross-country racing, which is perfect
00:18:20It's kind of what the car is built to do really. So you've got there a um
00:18:24A kind of repeatable um
00:18:28Perk which will give you uh points for cross-country events
00:18:31Yeah, you've got wrecking ball you've got air all the kind of stuff that you would expect when you're barreling
00:18:36down the side of a mountain
00:18:37Smashing bushes jumping over the top of hills stuff like that
00:18:40If we get into another car with a completely different tree
00:18:44So let's get into something like here we go
00:18:46This is the thing what kind of justifies the kind of different skill trees that you're going to be getting
00:18:50with the cars
00:18:51Is it kind of going to have is every car car type going to have specific like skills that you
00:18:55can unlock?
00:18:56Because I know it's going to range from like five to
00:18:5925 skills is it um for each car what kind of decides that so there's there's up to um 16
00:19:06kind of uh
00:19:07Perks within a mastery tree yeah, the cost of those perks range is anything from like one simple kind of
00:19:12skill point all the way up to 25
00:19:13Um in terms of what you get within a car
00:19:16It's really what the car is designed to do so that raptor we saw was all about cross-country racing
00:19:20and um
00:19:20How you kind of boost those skills?
00:19:23This uh
00:19:24Forza edition for capri with it's like jacked up suspension massive tires, which is perfect for dirt racing
00:19:30You can see it's got dirt monster there, which is a perk which will benefit you in dirt racing events
00:19:36And everything else is the kind of thing that you would expect um in dirt racing
00:19:39So again, we've got things like drift
00:19:40Which is uh something that rally cars are quite iconic for
00:19:44You've got uh sideswipe which is when you destroy something as you're drifting
00:19:48Um as well as some really really cool ones like um
00:19:50This perk here means your skill multiplier builds twice as fast so again that goes back to the fortathon live
00:19:55stuff
00:19:55We were talking about and then if you're doing that with a skill multiplier it builds fast
00:19:58So is that a way of earning more points quickly?
00:20:00Because like that this because one of the big features that kind of i got really excited about and like
00:20:05this is thing is that you can
00:20:06earn build the masteries of the car but it sticks to that specific car
00:20:10That's right. I think that's the best thing about this feature actually is um you can earn masteries and complete
00:20:15this skill table for each
00:20:17like individual instance of a car
00:20:19But if you get another ford capri forza edition
00:20:21It will start with a blank skill tree and then you can actually you know spend your skill points and
00:20:26build that one up
00:20:27Uh as well and what's what's doubly great about it is that you can actually sell a completely mastered car
00:20:32on on the auction house for example
00:20:34Yeah
00:20:34Um and and that could have real value i think
00:20:36Yeah
00:20:37This is thing right this i can already see what people are going to do because this is the first
00:20:40thing that popped into my head
00:20:41When i heard about this because you know everyone wants edubra castle right the most expensive player house
00:20:46You can just like perfect a certain style of driving in a certain car and just become the ultimate like
00:20:52Veyron likes like all like mclaren senna kind of dealer just like i'm going to be able to i'm going
00:20:57to learn how to master this car every single time
00:20:58They'll start flogging him off in the auction house
00:21:00Exactly yeah yeah and people will come to you for their like completely mastered
00:21:04Veyron or senna and i think the other thing about this you you don't just i think i'm right in
00:21:09saying
00:21:09You don't just get to spend the skills you earn in that car on this car
00:21:13If there's a very complicated way of saying it but um absolutely right all skill points are global
00:21:17So if you've got a car that you're like you absolutely love banking skill chains in or it's a car
00:21:23that's particularly brilliant at that
00:21:24Because all of its perks accelerate like earning points back you get in this really nice kind of um
00:21:29Brilliant cycle where you get into a car like say um a kind of unicorn car
00:21:34Of all of its uh perks unlocked those and then you're back into the unicorn earning more points
00:21:38And it just kind of goes like that
00:21:40It's an awesome feature for people to take advantage of also guys for those watching remember if you if you've
00:21:45just tuned into the stream
00:21:46We are doing a little giveaway as well for in-game cosmetic items
00:21:49All you've got to be doing is get involved in the mixer chat over on mixer.com forward slash uh
00:21:53forza motorsport
00:21:54And you have a chance of winning that particular customer in-game customization item
00:21:59Uh which you can then use once forza horizon 4 comes out to get involved and you'll get a whisper
00:22:03if
00:22:04Yeah so you have a chance of winning one which is really really cool
00:22:06Uh we've also got a couple little questions that have come in uh so from thunderbird he says will barn
00:22:11finds be affected by seasons
00:22:13Um so that's a good question i think the the biggest way in which they are affected is that there
00:22:18are some which are season specific
00:22:19so there are there are certain uh barn finds which will only appear in certain seasons and we've talked
00:22:25about one previously which is the really obvious example the one that's on an island in the lake which
00:22:30you can only get to when it's frozen in winter for example but actually i think each season has a
00:22:34A seasonal barn find which is only available during that season yeah so like because i saw one that was
00:22:40on
00:22:40actually can i can i spoil the location roughly i saw i saw one earlier i just don't know if
00:22:45i want to
00:22:46ruin it sure yeah yeah right on the in the middle on the middle of the lake there was like
00:22:49a little
00:22:49barn found that's literally the one i just mentioned yeah yeah it happens sometimes i'm sorry uh so
00:22:58there's 450 cars in the game yeah 450 cars in the game which you can kind of go do you
00:23:03reckon
00:23:03anyone's going to be able to master those like how long do you reckon it's going to take i i
00:23:07honestly
00:23:08someone will someone somewhere will do have you done the math on on how many no and i don't even
00:23:12do it myself i know someone will like we always say yeah yeah how much time would you reckon it'll
00:23:17take like it's a long time it'll take a long time do you know what players players always surprise us
00:23:25but there's always a bunch of things we say oh no one will ever be able to do that and
00:23:28and and someone
00:23:29does it ridiculously fast i hope someone does send us a screenshot if they do yeah yeah i think we
00:23:34should
00:23:34kind of have a look at forza thon because last week we obviously took a look at forza thon live
00:23:37for the
00:23:37very first time but that's not all the way to forza thon so ben could you kind of tell us
00:23:42everything
00:23:42else there is to know yeah let's go through it so this is the main forza thon screen so last
00:23:49week we
00:23:49were looking at forza thon live which is your kind of promise that every hour on the hour there'll be
00:23:53something cool to do and that'll give you forza thon points which was kind of a new currency we
00:23:57touched on yeah and we spoke about how you spend those in the forza thon shop um so beyond every
00:24:03hour we wanted to make sure that players had something to do every day so you now get daily
00:24:08challenges and those are maybe the closest to forza horizon 3's forza thon so they're like bite-sized
00:24:14challenges that you can do so you can see some there in the middle of the screen you've got like
00:24:17earn five ultimate air skills we've actually already completed that one and got our points from it um
00:24:22some awesome near miss skills or ultimate skill chains they're like kind of quick things to do
00:24:27and they will come through you'll get one daily challenge a day but you don't have to absolutely
00:24:31complete it that day we tend to um we allow you to keep kind of three in stock so to
00:24:35speak so if
00:24:36you've been away for the weekend and you come back on monday you've still got you know the last couple
00:24:39of days worth so you can quickly rattle those off and they're kind of analogous i guess to if anyone's
00:24:44played forza horizon 3 which is the first game we had forza thon in um and are familiar with those
00:24:49challenges they're kind of analogous to the challenges that we had in forza thon in fh3 right and that they
00:24:53are
00:24:53pretty easy to do you can knock them off like almost without knowing it as we have
00:24:58um but there's certain there's not a big time investment involved in doing them but there is
00:25:02this reward yeah yeah they're really simple in fact we often find that when we're um when we're
00:25:07testing the game internally you'll be you'll be doing daily challenges without really thinking about
00:25:11it but it's like a nice reminder that forza thons there and giving you rewards so beyond daily
00:25:15challenges we wanted to make sure that you've got something to do every week and so this is where the
00:25:20weekly challenge comes in place and the weekly challenge is all about getting into like a
00:25:24particular kind of special car like maybe something like a nissan gtr or a particular type of car so
00:25:29here we've got the vintage racer type um and this will give you more points than a daily like many
00:25:34more
00:25:35points in the daily but it'll take a lot more work to do like half an hour an hour's kind
00:25:38of play
00:25:39and there's usually four stages to do in a weekly challenge so you can see here the first one is
00:25:44like
00:25:44owning and driving a vintage racer so let's let's say that we've got that we then go through and
00:25:49here is earning two particularly tricky skills to get during um during races so there's like a
00:25:55really cool thing to do in that car and it's kind of leading you on a bit of a story
00:25:58yeah um do all
00:25:59four and you get all of the forza thon points so like so that's how i know kind of compared
00:26:04to a day
00:26:05challenge you can get a lot more points but it's a lot more work to put in to kind of
00:26:08do it but it will
00:26:08give you different experiences because you're going to have like the uh the antiquated road show one but
00:26:13what so the following week what could you have a completely different challenge yeah could be classic
00:26:18muscle could be like the nissan gtr like i was saying bigatti vayron um using the vayron as an
00:26:24example you'll be doing things like you know driving above 250 miles an hour for five minutes
00:26:29non-stop and stuff like that like challenges are perfect for that type of car i'm right in saying
00:26:34that you have to do these in order so you go one two three four it's kind of a little
00:26:38bit of a story
00:26:39a little bit yeah yeah it is it is a bit of a story um i see we've got max
00:26:42british with uh
00:26:43our uh uh challenge names here antiquated roadshow yeah yeah it's a jolly good show excellent yes
00:26:50totally good similar to television um a dickens of a job there was i saw that one also uh before
00:26:56we
00:26:56kind of go through a bit more thought stuff and thoughts form we've just got a couple more questions
00:26:59from the chat because guys remember if you've got any questions about anything that we're discussing
00:27:02whether that's winter or any of the new features drop them in the mix chat and then ben or ralph
00:27:07could uh
00:27:07answer them for you uh but oliver whiteley has just asked is there still the convoy feature
00:27:11in the game yes there is yep there's still the convoy feature however convoy is now your way of um
00:27:18grouping up with other players and we've spoke and shown a lot of the really awesome kind of
00:27:24anti-grief stuff we've got including auto ghost so you know how you're driving around free roam and
00:27:28people can't ruin your game by crashing into you well when you convoy with other people um collisions are
00:27:33back on because this is a way of you saying i'd like i'd like to have that experience with
00:27:37these people who i know so it's like perfect for um tandem drifting and things like that
00:27:40yeah and uh batteries has also just asked is there still an auction house which we don't we
00:27:44we just touched on which we just mentioned yeah yeah there is still an auction house absolutely
00:27:48which people are going to be able to take advantage of which is uh especially all those new features
00:27:52but should we have a look at uh the rest of the uh fortathon section yeah so we went through
00:27:56there's something to do every hour every day every week and you've got your fortathon points
00:28:00what can you spend them on so here you go fortathon shop and you can see that there's a really
00:28:04nice
00:28:04collection of rare items in the game and the way the fortathon shop works is every week when the
00:28:09season changes it's stock refreshes um you don't lose any of your fortathon points you can save them
00:28:14up as long as you want and just wait for the perfect item in here that you want to get
00:28:18and
00:28:19the way to think about this is that it's a way to um guarantee getting a reward without any rng
00:28:25completely ruining it for you every time you go through something like wheel spin yeah i'm desperate for
00:28:29that particular for tradition like the capri that i was in when i was going through the mastery stuff
00:28:33you can see there that it's um it's in the shop and it's got a price and that gives you
00:28:37something
00:28:37to save up for so you can guarantee that that's what you're going to get instead of trying your
00:28:41luck with wheel spin also is there going to be any like exclusive items in the fortathon shop that
00:28:47you're not going to be able to get in the game like elsewhere elsewhere don't think so no no we
00:28:51don't i
00:28:52we don't want to get anything in the uh any content in the game behind you know a specific feature
00:28:57um we
00:28:58haven't you know gated any behind this feature um so it'll all be stuff that you can get in
00:29:02different ways throughout the game but but like ben says it's the perfect sort of shop front to come to
00:29:07and you know and get that thing that you just you really want and just hasn't been landing for you
00:29:11in wheel spin can you use like your right in-game money or like real money to kind of be
00:29:15able to kind
00:29:15of like speed up the process of getting these like kind of force on points so you can like kind
00:29:20of
00:29:20just just force on points yeah you can't use in-game cash so nothing else which is awesome but like
00:29:25the
00:29:25thing is is so take a look at all the items that you can get a hold of um like
00:29:30what kind of like
00:29:30costings and everything like that exactly kind of still still tbc i think they're working on that
00:29:35yeah still filling it out a little bit um i mean you can see on the screen that a ford
00:29:39edition car
00:29:40costs more than you know a kind of i say a normal car it's still a gtr r34 which is
00:29:46awesome but um we're
00:29:46still yeah working out the earn rates and costs that's awesome but before we move on to the next section
00:29:51infamous creations is just asked are there rewards and perks for being a painter or tuner
00:29:57right in for to horizon 4. yes um i would refer um them to last week's the vote of last
00:30:05week's show
00:30:05actually um where we we sort of dug into uh the the campaign mode the horizon life um now by
00:30:12being a
00:30:12painter and a tuner um you can actually progress your campaign in a way that you've never been able to
00:30:18before um so you you will be able to buy through being successful as a tuner or as a painter
00:30:23um you'll be able to earn influence you'll be able to uh to level up and progress towards you know
00:30:28being a horizon superstar which is the goal of the game um and i think that's really cool because we
00:30:33know lots of people spend you know a lot of their time in in the paint shop this is a
00:30:39way now for
00:30:39them you know to see real fruits of that within the game's progression right so anyway thank you very
00:30:45much for talking to us we've got so much more stuff coming up at the show big thank you to
00:30:50ralph and ben for chatting us through ralph will be returning in a little bit uh ben i think i
00:30:54think
00:30:55i think you'll you'll finish with us for today yeah yeah thank you very much for talking us through
00:31:00everything uh once again guys remember all the information you can go back and watch the vod's if
00:31:05you want to kind of catch up or check back on any other of the any of the information that
00:31:09comes up on
00:31:09these streams but we've still got so much more to come through on the stream so we're going to be
00:31:14finding and smashing some of the tricky to find bonus boards so stay tuned for tips on where they
00:31:19are in the game and also if you've just joined us where have you been because you've missed a tour
00:31:24around the map in winter more info on forts fond but don't worry check back the vod after the stream
00:31:29so you don't miss anything now since we started these live streams something i keep seeing in the
00:31:33comments is how blown away people are the ui and presentation this game and presentation is always
00:31:38amazing in horizon games but this game has been taken to a new level so i've been joined by matt
00:31:43and rich from the team to kind of talk us through all the ui features which i'm really excited about
00:31:47kind of seeing more of and hearing about um so thank you so much for joining us uh so matt
00:31:52first of all
00:31:52you've worked on forza since the very beginning very well yeah i think it's been eight years now so yeah
00:31:58um it's been it's been quite a whirlwind but watching watching the studio just thrive alongside with
00:32:03this series it's just been it's just been great it's real privilege it must be it must be really
00:32:07exciting to see how far it's come yeah it's just crazy i'm really really proud of the team they've
00:32:10done a great job this time also favorite season i've always asked this everyone uh probably autumn
00:32:16but autumn in the kind of golden hour kind of stuff i really like doing the photography kind of stuff
00:32:21so
00:32:21when that light just gets really low and you're getting the falling leaves and stuff like that
00:32:25don't talk to ben about the leaves he goes on about for hours uh rich as well you're the lead
00:32:31ui
00:32:32artist right how has it been kind of working with the team and like kind of getting this all put
00:32:36together
00:32:36yeah it's been great uh i'm lucky enough to like work with a fantastically talented team so uh like
00:32:42our job is to mainly focus around like um the presentation of the game so we're looking at like
00:32:46menu systems um the hood um and dealing with like things like motion graphics so uh yeah so it's really
00:32:52uh really cool stuff yes i think one of the biggest places to start would be kind of where you
00:32:57kind of
00:32:57draw the inspiration for the ui because it's like so slick and cool to look at like what kind of
00:33:02like
00:33:02of do you do to kind of bring it all together yeah yeah sure um do you mind if i
00:33:06uh steal the
00:33:07controller sorry yeah so if we if we dive into the pause menu so so for us um given that
00:33:15horizon 4
00:33:15is kind of set in a modern day setting it only kind of makes sense for us to when we're
00:33:19gathering
00:33:20reference at the beginning of the project to uh lend lend to that and gather modern day like cutting edge
00:33:25graphic design references so you know motion graphics like advertising uh things like that those
00:33:31sorts of stuff's really useful for us um and what we tend to do is kind of gather that gather
00:33:36that
00:33:36information and and wrap it around what we like to call our core pillars um and we can kind of
00:33:42um
00:33:44communicate those as words which we have scattered around the office so we have things like fun freedom
00:33:49and beauty um so what we then do is kind of distill our reference and focus them around these
00:33:55pillars so for things like fun and and beauty um we've really like pushed through things like the
00:34:00vibrancy that you're you've seen in the ui now um the playful nature i think in comparison to what
00:34:06we've had before um it's really like coming through um and things like freedom um again if you compare
00:34:14what we've had previously to now our menu is a lot more flexible yeah um which which is great because
00:34:19it allows us to be a lot more creative with um how we how we like show things um and
00:34:24also surface game
00:34:25features a lot more uh successfully yeah because like because there's so many little aspects to kind of
00:34:30piecing the whole ui together you must have some favorites like favorite components and parts
00:34:34yeah i've got a few favorites um so i'd say there's a couple of big wins for me personally so
00:34:40like
00:34:41looking on the home tab now like we have a radio towel which is great so even though it's off
00:34:45right
00:34:45now unfortunately everyone's like turn it on just like turn on so usually that would show showcase like
00:34:51um album art yeah but i think having a radio towel in the pause when you know it's great it's
00:34:57a
00:34:57an awesome way of kind of linking the ui to the festival even though you're in this like
00:35:01you know standalone space there's still that kind of visual connection going on yeah um as well as
00:35:07that we've got the weather tile uh and actually like uh showcases what what temperature we have in
00:35:14the game right now yeah because that's going to affect how how the gameplay plays and feels yeah
00:35:18absolutely it's like it's really useful like tool um but also i think it kind of like brings a bit
00:35:23of
00:35:24authenticity to the ui which we haven't had before so like yeah i'm uh pretty pleased with
00:35:28it um but yeah they're kind of like small like wins for us but i think one of the biggest
00:35:34things
00:35:34that i'm proud of and i think a lot of people um in the studio are proud of is what
00:35:39we've deemed our
00:35:40white space and i know i know this is what matt is kind of like really happy about because you
00:35:45kind
00:35:45of you've put a lot of work into this kind of can you talk us a little bit more about
00:35:48the white space
00:35:49yeah it's been a lot of work you can kind of see it there in in the background um but
00:35:53to speak
00:35:55about the series in general the rising series has really had quite um a unique visual identity i
00:35:59think and that goes right the way back to the beginning when we had um this desire to really
00:36:04sort of push um a youthful and energetic um feel into all about into all everything we did and that
00:36:12that went through to the cinematics yeah and as we've worked through um all the games we've tried to
00:36:16to reiterate that a little bit with the cinematics um but then coming off the back of um horizon 3
00:36:22which i remember me and you talking quite a lot about wanting to just push it a little bit further
00:36:26and see if we might be able to sort of fuse the ui and the cinematics together as a cool
00:36:32thing um so
00:36:33we went away and we started like pulling up together a bunch of different ideas um put that in front
00:36:38of
00:36:38the team i think that really started to resonate so then from there it just started to um to cascade
00:36:42into a bunch of other features um so what we can show you in a minute when we get into
00:36:47a race is
00:36:48is kind of uh the white space the white space yeah it's quite exciting we've seen it a few times
00:36:54throughout all the races that we've gone into over the past couple weeks um i love i love it when
00:36:59you
00:36:59go into a showcase event yeah that's that's really cool i mean so there's a couple of reasons why we've
00:37:04kind of gone for this um white space idea so firstly it just looks cool um it's it's really different
00:37:11to
00:37:11what we've done previously but um one of the things we really wanted to do this time is be
00:37:16able to control um the lighting conditions and things um when when going into events or looking
00:37:21at the characters um and it's quite difficult to do that when you when you pull up to a race
00:37:24in the
00:37:24middle of a dark field in the middle of winter so it's nice to be able to just take that
00:37:28um and
00:37:28control all the stuff and just do some cool stuff to look at while we're waiting for everything to
00:37:31fall into place and load so so that was just a quick quick snippet of like um the pre-race
00:37:37um and then if
00:37:39you can get around this race we can probably show those eagle eyes among children versus our get
00:37:45ready og um video um that's talk about that yeah that's that's not difficult do you reckon
00:37:53and he's going to crash here because it's it's been thinking he's had a lot of pressure on him
00:37:56the past couple weeks uh everyone's like i think everyone kind of like eggs him on a little bit and
00:38:01kind of slightly hopes he crashes but do you reckon he's going to get around here in like quick time
00:38:06or
00:38:06do you reckon he's going to like kind of crash what does everyone in the chat think as well
00:38:11like let just let us know do you think andy's going to do this flawlessly and win the race right
00:38:15because then we can kind of get that nice cinematic at the end right or is he going to uh
00:38:19going to
00:38:20crash he never fails don't tell him that right we're trying to is he the best racer in the office
00:38:29he may be but you know we don't like to tell him to his face
00:38:34because what what other bits have we got in the ui that you've kind of worked on with this section
00:38:37before we get to the white space oh we're literally about to jump to it but oh we're about to
00:38:42finish
00:38:42about to finish let's see if it works all right here we go he's drifted so one of the cool
00:38:46things
00:38:46about this as well with the finishing line is that we know players like to spin and win across the
00:38:50line
00:38:50so that's something we absolutely wanted to keep for that as well so there was a lot of work that
00:38:53went
00:38:54into making sure that that looked all cool and it worked and it paid off so it's pretty cool now
00:38:58it looks
00:38:58awesome i can't like i can't wait for people to kind of get involved and kind of um like look
00:39:02at it
00:39:02and for themselves especially with like all the thoughts of like all the all the uh major showcase
00:39:06events and so many cool little details uh but big thank you so much for kind of like talking us
00:39:10through all the ui features remember guys if you've got questions drop in the mixer chat because we've
00:39:15still got so much but big thank you to rich and matt for talking us through the ui thank you
00:39:19for doing
00:39:19it but we've still got so much more to come up during the stream guys so make sure to stick
00:39:22around one
00:39:23little thing as well we do have that giveaway so if we can kind of flash some of the image

00:40:00last week we kind of drove through some mud right and we kind of we went through that that mud
00:40:05but
00:40:06this time we're going to take a look about bonus boards so can we can we talk a little bit
00:40:10about the
00:40:10bonus boards let's um because it feels like almost like a really tiny feature of horizon games to to
00:40:18to spend any time talking about but i kind of feel like it's been in every one of the horizon
00:40:24games uh today um it started in the very first horizon game when i think in all honesty we needed
00:40:31some like quite cheap gameplay to you know to put around the open world and we thought what could we
00:40:36hide around the open world that the players could go find but i think since then we've just got better
00:40:41at it um we've you know found the fun in it we've found the the different types of gameplay that
00:40:47can
00:40:47be involved in finding and smashing um a bonus board of which there are you know there are usually about
00:40:52150 in the in the game um and i think certainly on forza horizon 3 and i think this is
00:40:57you know thanks to
00:40:59um one of our designers matt piper big shout out to out to him who really sort of raised it
00:41:05kind of to an
00:41:06art form hiding bonus boards and devious places around the world and i had a ton of fun uh you
00:41:12know
00:41:12playing the game at home once we launched on horizon 3 um spotting them figuring out how he wanted me
00:41:19to
00:41:19go and you know go about like you know smashing it um and he's done the same on this game
00:41:24and that's
00:41:24kind of what we're going to be looking at just over the next few um uh moments uh in game
00:41:30just to pick
00:41:31out a couple of uh um the the most deviously hidden uh bonus boards and we're going to be seeing
00:41:37if
00:41:37andy has got uh the driving got the skills i i almost feel that we should get a poll going
00:41:42on the
00:41:42chat if it's possible as well it feels hardly worth it i love polls it's good fun like a mix
00:41:50of polls are
00:41:50great you do love a poll you know so there are the i think we're going to the first one
00:41:54all right do you
00:41:55reckon he's going to do it first try right so just to be just to be clear it's up in
00:42:00that top pipe
00:42:01there um he's having a look can you drive up to it and this is kind of this is kind
00:42:08of what i mean
00:42:08like and there's a ton of these boards right which are just by the side of the road i don't
00:42:11mean to
00:42:12say that all 150 are like uh um like sort of nintendo style puzzles um but you know there's there's
00:42:19a
00:42:19bunch of them which have got like some real sort of problem solving or skill based gameplay uh around
00:42:25them this is definitely i think a little bit of both you know it's a little bit of problem solving
00:42:29and now it's all about whether andy's got the skill i like the thing is right we've seen him
00:42:36practicing a little bit earlier quite a lot yeah i think being saying a little bit being generous
00:42:41here we go is he gonna do it no there's just too much of that feels really familiar yeah no
00:42:47it's just
00:42:47like he's hitting the floor again it's we haven't seen this once at all um but i think i think
00:42:52that's
00:42:52the thing that i love so much about this because it reminds me of the um the event that we
00:42:56actually saw
00:42:57e3 where uh during the showcase you have to kind of thread the needle that's right through the
00:43:01thing it feels like it's a more extreme version of that has to do it in mid-air yeah you've
00:43:06got to
00:43:06kind of recognize it's no hold on hold on no it's too short it's close it was close um all
00:43:13right how
00:43:13many attempts will it take okay like 28 of weight home what is it 41 of people say it's going
00:43:19to take you
00:43:20more than three so i like how three plus three plus three plus three plus we're sitting here like
00:43:2510 pm i think that's yeah that's a wise place to put your money yeah yeah let's put you put
00:43:29your feet
00:43:29up and kind of like do it but it's true i don't know it's like you're saying how well these
00:43:33are hidden
00:43:34around in the world and if you don't know all right that was close that was close um because i
00:43:39was just
00:43:39kind of having a little drive about earlier and i found one on top of the viaduct yes and then
00:43:44you
00:43:44yeah and then you just kind of see this little board all right it is the thing you'll find yourself
00:43:49doing the rewind like there's trying to perfect it there's one um which i've been i found it's quite
00:43:55early in the game um and it's in the back garden of this little house um uh in broadway which
00:44:02is in
00:44:03the in like sort of south of the map and it's this beautifully kept um back garden and it's there's
00:44:09a
00:44:09children's football goal and it's in the football goal and you basically have to ruin this family's
00:44:15garden in order to oh there we go all right we got the first one we got the first one
00:44:20round of applause
00:44:22he's got right right now you don't you can't see it but he's got the biggest grin on his face
00:44:26he's like
00:44:27i've done it you said it would take me loads of attempts i'm here till 10 pm i've done it
00:44:32can't say
00:44:33anything now uh and now we've got another board for him to try and smash so uh we're gonna be
00:44:38here until
00:44:3810 o'clock yeah i think we're gonna go and do a slightly different one is that is that where
00:44:42you're going you want it oh you're feeling involved he's feeling confident now this is like one of the
00:44:50hardest ones i've seen so far because there's so many like it's in fairness he didn't get close to
00:44:54this i mean it would be fair to say andy was nearly in tears trying to do so i just
00:44:58love seeing like
00:44:58all the different effects and like kind of how the snow yeah it just occurs to me this is the
00:45:02first time
00:45:03i think we're showing night and we're in streams which is cool um yeah so there's there's actually some
00:45:08really cool stuff that we're doing in night which we've never done before which is worth talking
00:45:11about so you'll notice if uh people people are watching closely that we've got proper shadow
00:45:16casting uh lights now from the car which is a really cool new feature it creates a and sort of
00:45:21another
00:45:21dimension you get all this form that you never used to to get before uh but also all of the
00:45:26the
00:45:26environment stuff all is it's doing the same same stuff as well so um there's a really cool new
00:45:31piece of tech looks particularly fancy when you're in a race with lots of other cars they're all
00:45:34yeah yeah it looks great in edinburgh as well which we will be showing next week next week we will
00:45:38be
00:45:38showing uh edinburgh for for everybody who's hanging out waiting for uh for that tonight right but guys
00:45:43remember we are looking at winter so if you've got any questions for winter get him in the chat right
00:45:48now because we've got loads coming up right now uh square jacob has just asked are there blizzards
00:45:53like in forza horizon three there is some pretty extreme snowy weather uh so we're we're stopping
00:45:59sure of calling them but i think i think we're stopping sure of calling them blizzards yeah i think
00:46:03that's fair um blizzard-like weather yeah i mean so so if you're if you're british you would probably
00:46:11refer to it as a blizzard but you know we do tend to exaggerate these things that's that is true
00:46:15that is
00:46:15that is a thing um but yeah well the weather can really does descend and the the fogging and everything
00:46:21get really thick and you'll see lots of um snow particles and i know what you're saying i like
00:46:25oh oh yeah we've been here haven't we deja vu i know what you're saying it doesn't i don't think
00:46:32it gets as as extreme as it did in blizzard mountain yeah then but you know the point of blizzard
00:46:38mountain
00:46:38was really like to you know to turn that up to 11 because that was the experience like being on
00:46:43a
00:46:43mountain in a blizzard was kind of like you know the point behind that that expansion
00:46:49miles away absolutely miles away um so the book 92 said what do super wheel spins do what to do
00:46:56super wheel spins well they're like they're like wheel spins but uh but super basically there are
00:47:02three reels rather oh i thought it was gonna clip pretty close um there are three wheels rather than one
00:47:11um and i think i'm right in saying i'm kind of looking at ben now uh across the monitor i
00:47:18think
00:47:18there's there's like a more rare or legendary sort of more rare legendary stuff goes into super wheel spins
00:47:24so you get three things that stop you win all of them and you can win um some of the
00:47:30best prizes in
00:47:31the game and it is it is super awesome actually when when when they all land and if you get
00:47:37you know
00:47:37three good things um it's pretty cool it's cool so like kind of knowing my luck i'm just going to
00:47:43have the worst wheel spin luck ever oh it always it always happens i've always got my fingers crossed
00:47:47and then then i'll fluke something hold on oh i can't right you've been trying this all afternoon
00:47:55right can we get ben and ralph doing a little mini head-to-head oh no all right all right
00:48:00can we get ben
00:48:01and ralph doing a little head-to-head on this one right because andy's been going at this all afternoon
00:48:05okay and he he has struggled with it it is he's come close many a time all right but i
00:48:11feel like we
00:48:12should do like one go like i think one go each between you guys and rotate and see who can
00:48:17do it
00:48:17first penalty shootout right penalty shootout star and let's get a poll in chat who do you think is
00:48:23going to win ralph or ben who is going to smash the bonus board so i feel like you do
00:48:29this first time
00:48:30you're going to do it oh dear hold on all right you know that was in line i was all
00:48:35right i didn't
00:48:36have the speed oh sorry i should have okay but while ben and ralph doing this we can still ask
00:48:41questions
00:48:41so get him involved in the mixer chat get ask any question you've got for winter in in forza horizon
00:48:474 anything to do in the game go ahead and answer them and remember if you're getting involved on mixer
00:48:52.com
00:48:52forward slash force and motorsport you have a chance of winning a in-game cosmetic item which
00:48:58could be whispered to you um as ben goes flying miles away so it's over there it's over there yeah
00:49:03you need to go left like a lot more
00:49:08it looks really easy like you see it it says all you gotta do is go down a tube and
00:49:12just turn left so
00:49:13there is a reason oh no so yeah rewind rewind oh um also ben all right i'm just saying i
00:49:22didn't do
00:49:23this right but someone has the poll has put you as tree oh fantastic it wasn't it wasn't me yeah
00:49:29but
00:49:29i'd just like to point out for those of you wondering but you are winning right so shout out to
00:49:33the guy who
00:49:33was selling uh printer cartridges who sent me an email and actually um referred to me as tree in the
00:49:38email
00:49:38that was great
00:49:42uh i haven't bought any yet but um you know i definitely will at some point at some point yeah
00:49:48get those this just for the tree point but you you've got 53 of the vote so far so guys
00:49:55if you
00:49:55haven't already voted who do you think is going to win ralph or tree all right oh it's looking good
00:50:00that is good that's good it's good it's good oh that's heartbreak yeah you needed like two more miles
00:50:08an hour going um so we've got another question from ptg uh ptg dan says can you force a season
00:50:15chain
00:50:15via a blueprint yes yes you can yes you can uh you can choose when you blueprint uh an event
00:50:23you can
00:50:24choose any of the seasons all right so there we go and also it's fizz says is there still animals
00:50:29in
00:50:30winter yes there absolutely is and they carve tracks in the snow just as the cars do yeah so yeah
00:50:36if you
00:50:36chase the ship how are the sheep what's the sheep's volume like the sheep's volume yeah it's quite
00:50:41voluminous the volume is at its highest yeah that is highest you don't you do you don't want those
00:50:45guys to get cold well you don't know you do you don't want to hit the first bit so i've
00:50:50just
00:50:50what you need to do is go through through the i mean i've just realized we've been at this for
00:50:53so
00:50:54long the sun is coming back yeah yeah but it sets again oh god oh god oh god right okay
00:50:59i'm giving
00:51:00this back they can't like can i can i have one go to just go through a thing because i've
00:51:05looked at
00:51:05this all day right and i am determined that this cannot be that difficult all right this is you know
00:51:11that moment backfire right um okay will we be able to change seasons uh in private frame room free man
00:51:20uh no you won't no you won't so um except for using um the blueprint system uh you you will
00:51:29be on the
00:51:30the sort of server controlled or if you're offline the system clock uh version so that everybody
00:51:34experiences them at the same time all right sweet and um are you guys ready for the uh single single
00:51:40attempt all right i mean that is that is right we we're doing a we're doing it with a barrel
00:51:46spin come
00:51:46on please okay i didn't have a spin right guys there's a rewind feature for a reason i'm going to
00:51:51do one
00:51:51more and then pass it back to andy right because you know we've got we've got questions to answer and
00:51:56i just need a bit more speed i'm not i don't come up with excuses by the way no no
00:52:01that's i have
00:52:01noticed it's the occasional thing but what other features are there in winter so we've seen the
00:52:06snow we've seen like the frozen lakes but it's a it's a little tricky i'm thinking about the thread
00:52:12the needle mode so i i i got riddled at e3 so with the one on the showcase which had
00:52:16the bikes
00:52:17in it um i went in and practiced before our live stream which ben was involved in a lot
00:52:22uh and i um oh oh that's it oh i mean i'm sorry i went for star points as i
00:52:30passed that andy all
00:52:30right you know i didn't want to smash the board i wanted andy to do it um so should we
00:52:34kind of have
00:52:34a look at a race because we've looked at some of the bonus boards should we go have a look
00:52:38at a
00:52:38race and see how that kind of changes in winter um compared to the other seasons yes and also
00:52:44remember guys if you want to go check out the other seasons um the vods are available that you
00:52:49go watch and go check it out so you can see what the game looks like in summer and autumn
00:52:53and next week we are going to be looking at spring on tuesday as well and um andy is finding
00:52:59it hard
00:52:59to move away from the board he's the same thing he's like i want to smash the board as we
00:53:03go to a race
00:53:04uh but also we've got some um more uh questions coming in so guys get him get him in the
00:53:10mixer chat
00:53:11as we kind of head on we looked at mud last week okay and this i think we would buy
00:53:17actually the
00:53:17four by four place with a lot more mud like how much does it change because it seems a lot
00:53:22more
00:53:22crunchy you know what i mean though so so yeah so this is um uh i guess winter's version of
00:53:31deformable mud like deformable snow which i you know we sort of first uh first i had in the blizzard
00:53:36mountain expansion um and yeah there's there's a bunch of different uh depths to the deformable snow
00:53:43that you'll find in the game um as ben said earlier also you know it's not just all snow
00:53:49there's also some areas in the south which are just frosty uh there's roads which are cleared and
00:53:54roads which are not and roads which are kind of like you know i guess british people will uh um
00:54:00recognize this kind of uh this kind of road from uh from when it does snow as it did earlier
00:54:05this year
00:54:05beast from the east the beast from the east yeah yeah absolutely um did you kind of was that kind
00:54:11of like as a game developer like the dream moment to happen especially when you're working for
00:54:15horizon 4 you knew you were having winter in there was that just like kind of like a gift where
00:54:20you're
00:54:20like if you're working on a game based in the uk with winter in it then yes yeah i mean
00:54:26it's fair
00:54:26it's fair to say that i mean every season has kind of been the perfect season this this uh the
00:54:30past
00:54:31couple of years so yeah it's been it was awesome and we you know we absolutely went out and didn't
00:54:34just have fun building snowmen we went out and got is that the snowman that we knocked over earlier
00:54:38was that yours was that your snow we're like all right we're gonna build this snowman let's
00:54:42build a game i mean actually the guys had you know they had to do the the difficult uh painful
00:54:47task of going to that same 4x4 park uh in the in the snow to drive it just because um
00:54:52andy absolutely
00:54:53needed to find out how the cars were handling on a combination of mud and snow it was apparently
00:54:57very important yeah it was very i'm not surprised did he did he kind of push for it hard i
00:55:02need to go
00:55:03needs to be right absolutely yeah and to be fair to him came back with some pretty good reference
00:55:07and uh it's made it's made for a pretty authentic experience inside that park so um what else like
00:55:14what kind of else did you kind of get from the beast in the east to kind of put into
00:55:17um to put
00:55:19into port to horizon four i think the other thing is maybe like you remember how long that that sort
00:55:24of
00:55:24lasted like quite often in the in britain you get that thing where it snows and then very quickly
00:55:29melts away but i think because we had that real harsh cold winter everything froze and stuck around for
00:55:34quite a long time so so we got to experience what that you know you've got that slushy sort of
00:55:38look
00:55:39to to the road so you get in in the in britain when it starts to melt which is totally
00:55:42there but also
00:55:43when you get a real hard frost on tarmac that's something that we don't necessarily see all that
00:55:47often but we got to experience lots of it during that particular part of the year and that's um that's
00:55:51something that we've you know managed to replicate you kind of get the kind of the same slipperiness
00:55:55that kind of going at that speed as well because we have to kind of change your style of driving
00:55:59to kind of compensate for that kind of like ice and that slush absolutely and there's some other
00:56:03specific things going on which i know the car handling guys we've got really really into and
00:56:08and made quite a few observations around which they weren't expecting which is just the the sudden
00:56:12shocking drop in temperature on the tires when you hit that snowy surface did some really um unexpected
00:56:19things to the way the cars were handling inside the physics model um which gives you this whole new
00:56:23sort of layer of depth to the driving experience in winter in certain areas of the map yeah and also
00:56:28because
00:56:28like ralph well you you said it straight from the offset at the start of these streams that winter
00:56:32was your favorite season right what is it that makes like winter your favorite so i think for me the
00:56:39the biggest thing is i think it's incredibly powerful when a game can change the way it looks completely
00:56:46you know like i you know i'm sure i'm not alone in you know loving games playing games a lot
00:56:53and then when
00:56:54you do when you when you absolutely love a game when you play it a lot um you get you
00:56:59get super
00:56:59familiar with it you know you totally understand every inch of you know that the world that you're
00:57:04playing in um and what this game and in particular winter within this game does is on a really regular
00:57:12basis completely change the way the world looks so that when you return to it you know sure it's the
00:57:18same
00:57:18world that you've been playing in it's the same roads that you know um but it looks so completely
00:57:23different that it's almost kind of like just refreshing yeah like i i always throw back to
00:57:28the day playing the e3 demo um when you kind of went through that that kind of like demo track
00:57:33and
00:57:33you were actually going down the same road but no one really noticed because it was so drastically
00:57:38different um which is kind of going to be amazing we saw the map as well which is uh you
00:57:43guys have
00:57:44actually shared on instagram and twitter yeah if anyone wants to go check that out um go to
00:57:49instagram or twitter at forts and motorsport on twitter or at forts and motorsport official on
00:57:53instagram and you can check out the map in winter because it looks so different just the map um from
00:57:59what we saw last week to jump on your point about it you know looking super different you didn't
00:58:02recognize i think that's actually true for a bunch of the guys on the development team as well you know
00:58:07the first time we we did that that route we started working on it people were surprised when they heard
00:58:11that that was the same stretch of road we were using which was kind of validation for us it really
00:58:15did feel like a very different experience and there's a white space again as well which is
00:58:20which is always nice to see uh but we've got a few we can get in a couple last questions
00:58:24guys so if
00:58:25you've got any ask questions this is your chance to get them in get them answered by ralph and ben
00:58:28as we kind of come up to the end because what do we have on next week as well because
00:58:32next week is
00:58:32the final season it's the final season it's the final show what will we do with tuesday nights after that
00:58:38um we are we've built up quite a day haven't we we've promised that we will show edinburgh so we
00:58:44will we've promised that we'll show competitive team racing so we will um i can't remember if we
00:58:49promised any other things but we almost inevitably this is the moment where i kind of need to just
00:58:52try and get you to promise more things because then it's well so we can then get more things next
00:58:56week so yeah i know obviously uh it goes without saying spring we will be showing spring um i think
00:59:02we'll probably uh we'll probably drop the spring map in the same way we have the winter map on social
00:59:07media

01:00:38before we
01:00:38go as well here's a little update of all the uh of the previous streams that we've seen a little
01:00:43video
01:00:43for you guys if you missed the other streams what's up guys and welcome to the forza horizon 4 live
01:00:55stream from playground games i'm joined by ralph it felt like now is the time that we should uh we
01:01:01should start showing them more uh of this enormous game ben i know you love the trees oh i do
01:01:07we spent
01:01:08a lot of time completely overhauling all of the rendering work that we put into our foliage so um all
01:01:14of our foliage shaders now do some really cool things like they model the transmission of light
01:01:19through leaves they model the specular across individual leaves obviously the seasons will change
01:01:24the driving experience and you know at its most extreme uh in winter you're gonna have ice you're
01:01:29gonna have snow that's gonna change up uh the way you tackle corners the kind of cars you take into
01:01:34races player houses what are they there are 12 houses um there's like the huge variety so when you
01:01:40start the game um we kind of give you one after the first hour or so um and then from
01:01:45there you're free
01:01:46to go explore discover them some of them are really well hidden so my favorite is just deep in the
01:01:52woods
01:01:52it's this huntsman's lodge yeah so if you kind of fancy yourself as like a woodsman is drone mode
01:01:58still a thing drone mode is still a thing yeah probably worth mentioning that this whole stream
01:02:03um has been done in horizon solo so you know we obviously we talked about how the game is a
01:02:07shared
01:02:08world game it would be mostly online i guess it's probably a good way of uh describing it the objective
01:02:12we've come up with here okay is it's the first one to get it into the sheep into the horse
01:02:17in the quickest
01:02:18time all right there we go i feel like maybe they're they're running away from you they're
01:02:22canning the sheep you've completely lost them they've just disappeared actually one other thing
01:02:28that's worth calling out there is we we now have this viewer standard on all of our cars this is
01:02:32brand
01:02:32new oh this isn't yeah so this is something that we did for the e3 demo last time uh so
01:02:37it's uh
01:02:38looked really great if you're using a wheel setter at home um so now everybody's uh everybody's
01:02:43but it is on it is on all cars now i think i am right that is correct yeah we're
01:02:52in the highlands
01:02:52we're in the the north of the map which we haven't really shown anyone uh yet uh in an area
01:02:58of the
01:02:58world that's kind of bits of beautiful scotland right we're going to show by popular demand uh the
01:03:04world map so that's where we are sort of north east of the world i know a lot of people
01:03:08were asking
01:03:09about uh the goliath and whether it was going to return um if you if you notice there it has
01:03:14we've
01:03:15started up at the top of the mountain and as we saw and we're coming down into this beautiful valley
01:03:20big slow-mo jump there being the size of what it isn't and how hovercrafts move around they do drift
01:03:27a lot and which is going to prove a bit of a challenge for a player what can you do
01:03:31in this
01:03:32shared world some of our team upstairs are helping us out demo this today when the game launches uh on
01:03:37october 2nd you'll be able to join up to 72 people on a server you can still absolutely race against
01:03:42advertising races but when you're in the open world um there's an emergent fun and a character that real
01:03:48people can bring that um you just you just can't create with an ai also ghost is this really awesome
01:03:53way of just making our online world feel kind of super welcoming yeah because one of the things that
01:03:59is not nice when you go online is people crashing into you is kind of people griefing you if you're
01:04:05to be still or take a photo or something like that so what also ghost does is it says if
01:04:09somebody is
01:04:09not your friend is not in your convoy and make you kind of haven't allowed it they can't breathe
01:04:14you at all you just pass straight through what happens here is every every hour the server says
01:04:20if anybody wants to take part in this get over here you get the little message you can set a
01:04:24route
01:04:24there um and a kind of radius appears on the map do skill songs return skill songs yes they do
01:04:30very much
01:04:30return um a particular favorite of mine i will not spoil how you get them because you will unlock
01:04:36them in a slightly different way this is inspired from a real life um off-road adventure park and um
01:04:41it's translated really well it's definitely one of the most fun areas in the game i think to play those
01:04:47playground arena type game modes like infected and king the mud looks incredible so there's a system
01:04:52that analyzes the whole world for different dips and divots and finds out where water would collect
01:05:02so
01:05:11uh
01:05:17uh
01:05:18uh
01:05:48Grazie a tutti.
01:06:03Grazie a tutti.
