Forza Horizon is an arcade racer. I mean we’re pretty much jumping off cliffs with these cars. Part of its appeal is it’s not an ultra serious racing game.
Daytona USA is an arcade racer and it has better crash mechanics and physics
The game I posted isn't a racing sim it just has realistic physics, which has to do with math not graphics powers
Forza Horizon could easily have crash mechanics like this game and keep the same graphics if the developers were skilled as the small time company who could make their game look like Horizon if they had a budget and keep the same physics
and Forza Horizon is an open world car enthusiast game, the racing was never been the strong point of the series, Fozra Motorsport is for racing
people only do races to get money to buy cars and drive around the open world, and most people buy the premium packs to bypass all that
