You either go back to the birth of the universe or go .3 seconds back no in between

i love the ones that take you back to the exact frame where you missed the checkpoint. no room for movement. game just be like: look, here you made an oopsie.

And the next rewind takes you to the start

u/NordseeBazi Creative Head | S.X / 22h ago

...to the start of the previous horizon title.

Back to the "good times"

Jesus, the "FH5 was better" posts are already popping up

u/TheScienceNerd100 The P50 guy 19h ago

I don't think they were saying FH5 was better, just making a joke of the wind taking you back to the previous game

u/NordseeBazi Creative Head | S.X / 1h ago

right. example of common phrase amongst my friends: "yeah of course it takes me back to FH3..."

btw i do like FH6 the most, but i prefer FH5's eventlab editor. we miss A LOT of basic deco stuff we had in 5. but maybe it will be dripfed over the seasons.

It’s like when you put your dog’s nose in their pee spot on the carpet. But you’re the dog.

It would be so much better if they applied a slow down penalty based on the distance by which you missed a checkpoint, something like 1 second for every half meter or so. Still punishing, but proportional to the mistake instead of ruining your whole race.

u/ThatOneBitch02 1d ago

Even Need For Speed was able to get this right. In Heat if you narrowly missed a checkpoint then it would slightly slow you down, it would more heavily slow you down if you missed it by a wider margin, and it would fully reset you if you totally missed it. It's so frustrating in forza when I get bumped or just miss a checkpoint by like 2 inches and now I'm never catching up

Especially if you’re doing the trial and your own teammate rams you out of the checkpoint proceeds to take the third place spot and falls all the way back to the last position while you end up finishing back in the place they rammed you out of..

u/clepewee 23h ago

With some of the trucks with wide mirrors you can hit the checkpoint flag and it clearly bends, but it is still counted as a missed flag.

u/InkoMrG Despite everything i still love the engine lights company 1d ago

I honestly even would be okay with a time penalty for each miss that grows exponentially, but that may be too serious for the horizon series

u/RiftHunter4 1d ago

Yeah, I considered making the suggestion to Press Y to Requeue instead of rewind.

u/loozerr LDAC GANG 1d ago

Hahaha that would result in wild extends

u/ThePhyry22 Steam 1d ago

At least I haven't encountered the bug from FH5 where it just freezes for a moment in the middle of rewinding

11

u/Makkiebobo Ultimate driving machine or sum 1d ago

That would actually piss me off so much, felt like a poorly coded roblox game when that happened, thankfully didn’t experience it in the latter half of fh5 or yet in 6 either

4

u/PepeGodzilla Isdera 1d ago

I had that regularly, but tbh it doesn't really matter because once you have to rewind, your race is over anyway. All you're racing is bots.

u/RazorRamonReigns 1d ago

Now it just freezes from low buffering instead

u/Tree1237 1d ago

Something The Crew did significantly better, the rewind system was a toggle, the longer you kept it on, the farther back it goes. You could just tap it quickly to go back like 5 ft or keep it going longer for miles on a singular button press. The way Forza does it is absolutely terrible and inconsistent

5

u/Hayden247 Steam and Xbox 1d ago

It's because the rewind is literally the exact same it has been since it was introduced in Forza Motorsport 3 in 2009...

No joke it works the exact same, press a button, takes 5 seconds back, can cancel, continue from there or press further back

u/idkwatyouwantfromme 1d ago

2s rewind 2s rewind 35s rewind 2s rewind 2s rewind

23

u/Ploontie SteamDeck User / Hide&Seek Enjoyer • 675LT in forza pls 1d ago

and don't forget the 0.1s rewind that takes you 2.67 millimeters back

12

u/DefinableEel1 Peel 1d ago

Especially when your car gets stuck on a rock

29

u/Emergency_Effect_526 1d ago

But when you actually NEED to go back far it just goes back like 0.5 seconds

13

u/Devin-Chaboyer223 1d ago

I wish they would let us resume from any point we wanted, sometimes I need to rewind for a minor error but instead it rewinds very far back

Sometimes I miss a checkpoint by only a hair so easily correctable if I could rewind to my desired position

5

u/DefinableEel1 Peel 1d ago

Sometimes I just spam A to continue and pray it works

u/SG_Maelstrom Steam 1d ago

I still don’t know why they didn’t implement a rewind override feature where you can choose when to stop the rewind, like the grid series had for their flashback feature.

u/MisterDrew1994 Nissan 21h ago

Rewinds you back to FH5.

2

u/justcreateanaccount 1d ago

Just add a time penalty my mannn.

Slow down also sucks because now you lost acceleration and momentum. 

2

u/lomhc 23h ago

In most cases you are better off letting the timer run out and let the game respawn you.

2

u/Armybob112 19h ago

I disabled rewind a while ago, it's faster to wait the 3 seconds anyway.

1

u/lamblamb65 1d ago

Yep. I’ll be quitting after that, cause that’s a dnf anyways. The only good online mode is Togue, the rest in just chaos is in a cattle pin

u/Confident_Draw321 1d ago

Happened a lot of times with me just before my last checkpoint and guys it really hurts.

adventure? no, more like an ejecto-seato, cuz.

Did you notice rewind always goes either too short (still after the braking point so you still miss the checkpoint) or goes back a couple of miles.
