Could you imagine having to scout locations in Mexico?

Which will we get first Forza Horizon Japan or Assassin's Creed Japan? The wait continues.

This is what's happening if this rumor is true. I've been there, stayed there - it's densely populated. The streets aren't great for driving, way too manyCould you imagine having to scout locations in Mexico?
people in most suburban areas. And lots of roads are actually dirt roads. And they hang people from bridges fairly commonly and behead people in Mexico.
Not an idea place for a drive. They are noticing right now it is not a sought after driving destination, doesn't show up on any of the top spots for a drive.
And are having to scout locations with what is probably a large team as none of them want to be abducted and or murdered if this rumor proves true.

So just like FH3 then.
Seriously though Japan just made sense, totally different from what we've had.

Can you please explain how is Mexico less demanding than Japan? You think it's all like in Breaking Bad and it's all desert? It's more demanding than Japan, not less.

I'd prefer Japan as it could still have the seasons but Mexico will do. Horizon 4 was excellent, set in my home country, best racing game of last gen.

So, can we expect some drug cartel vehicles and police chases?

Likes moldy games
They could put a wall all around the map to save on scenery in the distance.
But seriously I'm with you on this.

good on them for showing their Mexican fan base some love. I’ve heard Xbox is big there.

It may be true but wasn't this already a rumor over a week ago?

Location sounds great but I'm hoping for a revamp in how the game is structured. What's the development time on this compared to the other games? Have they had enough time to change things up?

Can’t be worse than the UK to be honest. The map in 4 was so outright bland without much variety at all, they relied too much on the seasons gimmick to mix it up.
I doubt Playground can ever beat their Australia map in the third game anyway, that was pure perfection in variety. What a masterpiece.

That sucks. Weather will clearly not play an important role like in Horizon 4, even in sunny weather it's likely not going to be as exciting as Australia / southern Europe. Also there aren't even that many interesting cars originating from Mexico to expand the car list with some cool local picks. Horizon 3 had that with Aussie cars and Horizon 4 with British cars - both countries had tons of cool new cars for the devs to choose from.

Why do auch people enjoy spoiling the official announcement so much?
I wish I could somehow filter out all these so called insiders with their useless leaks. Currently the only way is to stop visiting any gaming site.
I don't see how this kind of info benefit me in any way, while it spoils the official announcement and E3 conference.

It would be interesting to see if that is something that they could do on the Series x version and leave out in the one version. I think it's a cross-gen game coming this year.

this leak probably gets all the internet disappointment out of the way before it’s revealed at E3 or whenever.
If its out this year year, map will be done, so scouting locations has happened long time ago.... Japan would have been cool but Mexico is also great.. Volcano's, snow capped mountains, tropical forest, arid desert, towns/cities.... modern, colonial Spanish, Maya/Aztec architecture.
Preferred FH4 to FH3, super excited for this

Yeah, nah. Been to over 40 countries wouldn’t even rank in the top 10. Let alone 20 if I actually put my mind to it.
Still interested in it but, long as I get to outrun the cops this time when they try and arrest me unless they get their bribe

I want Japan, but Mexico is nice, too.
That game will sell gangbusters in Mexico.
Sales in the country of origin are always higher than comparable installments.

Great, another FH to skip then if it’s true. Sounds boring as hell, just like the mossy rock that was FH4s map.

Will be interesting to see what they do with it; will it be Cancun and the Yucatan jungles and pyramids or Mexico city and Acapulco or Puerto Vallarta and some desert? I guess they could also choose Baja and have some windy roads along the Pacific from Tijuana to Ensenada and the Baja 500 all the way down to Cabo?
