Forza games usually last 4 years and they get removed from sale and FH4 lasted 6 years that's impressive.

Not allowing cars in photos if they arent in first place is wild.

"There is a rumour that Ferrari forces developers to put their cars in front of the pack in every screenshot, video etc."

I think I finally get why the intro video for Need for Speed 6 Hot Pursuit 2 has the Ferrari 360 Spider in front of the Lamborghini Murcielago and the Lamborghini Diablo cop car. And that game came out back in 2002.

I just looked at a bunch of official F1 covers and realized that in a lot of those covers where Ferrari logo is present whether it be a car or a driver, either their driver (Charles Leclerc) or their F1 cars are in the front of the cover. I never really thought of this up until it was mentioned!! I can't believe I learned something new today!!

I'm a QA Dev for a game coming out next year that's car collecting/drag racing based called Auto Legends. I remember when I started to QA Test the Visual Modifications for the cars and we had Debadging as an option. I actually asked if it was a bug because I was so surprised the manufacturers were ok with it.

Licensing sucks man. I’m such a fan of cars and car games. If I owned a car company, if the devs asked me if they could use my cars i would be like “HECK YEAH use my cars in your next Forza horizon game.” I would make them pay the same price license as normal but i would allow that license to NEVER expire for the game they use it on. It advertises my cars. Plus, i would also allow the devs to implement realistic crash physics in their game. Everyone is like “car companies don’t like to see their own cars get wrecked in games.” Quite frankly that sucks. If i owned a car company I wouldn’t care to see my cars get realistically wrecked in Forza horizon game, in fact, i would LOVE to see that lol.

Played all the forza games. I think 4 had the best gameplay of all of them. It really was a gem. Despite the engine sounds being robotic af, very spotty, some being great and some being a literal crime.

(Tbf I only played forza 3 for like 6 hrs, but I have 200+ on the rest.)

[GhostlyGaming]

That ferrari thing i find hilarious (i know its not known for sure) but jeez they have to be seen as 'the best' lol

[UNDERCOVERbeats]

I'm in a music business and I have some experience with licensing. You did a really good job of explaining to everyone

[T_MATEUSZ]

Ferrari has a funny story connected with real racing 3 game, only to this manufacturer you can't add any decails, only think that you can modyficate is a paint color (only official one released).

[kissgergo]

I just wish companies communicated this stuff better. If every public facing decision was explained this well, a lot fewer people would be upset.

[ComndrCaiden]

Great video Nick! I learned a lot of new things I didn’t really even consider. Might I add, I believe part of a licensing deal “expiring” means that Forza (for example) is not allowed to make money on those licenses, which is why the game isn’t necessarily going away, but they can’t make profit from it once the license agreement is over

I would like to say you can get a new copy of the game after it is delisted by picking up a physical copy like from the game stop or a store like that. Or sometimes people will sell game codes online, and you can buy those. In 2019 i got FH2 from Game stop, and in 2022, i ordered FH3 off of Amazon

[giantwaddles]

They did this to the crew 1 and it broke me
Still one of my favourite games

[Miles-sy]

Thank you for this video yesterday I watched it and today is black Friday and I went and purchased a copy for 12 bucks have a good day

[karsenkeeble]

As everyone knows mclaren was 1 of the mutual partnerships for fh4 thats why the senna got added and they ended up making 3 different ones in the game there was the autamun 1 the winter 1 and the either the summer or spring 1 i dont remember but yeah mclaren was 1 of the mutual partnerships in fh4. And also there was the normal senna that was in the autoshow but yeah.

After hearing this news I looked for a way to buy this game.I managed to find a toys shop that sold one while I was travelling in the UK and bought it for only 10 pounds(around 13 USD and 18 CAD). Glad I managed to buy it that before it's too late.

Edit: This is a great video for anyone who doesn't know why FH4 is delisted, but also how licensing works and why some cars in older games did not make a return in later games, as well as other stuff related to real cars in games

[isaacalsford]
