Playground Games and 343i, consider me a very happy Halo fan. While Forza Horizon 3’s Halo shenanigans made me chuckle, you guys went above and beyond with Horizon 4. The Showcase had me grinning from ear to ear all the way to the finish line. I just wanted to say thanks for the fun!
Anyone else here experience the Horizon Showcase, and if you did, what are your thoughts?
Haven’t played the game yet, but I watched the footage they showed on the stream on YouTube a few days ago. I can’t wait to get my hands on the game because that showcase in itself looks incredibly fun. Super cool whenever there are Halo tidbits in Forza games
Just played it a few hours ago. I love Forza’s reasoning for the showcase event being a sponsored Augmented Reality race (one of the radio hosts says it when it’s unlocked). The actual track itself was full of forced references all which made me laugh. I’d love to see more of these connections between exclusive games.

“This cave is not a natural formation” had me burst out laughing, and seeing Stacker and Dubbo in other Warthogs on the track was an unexpected touch.
I think that its really cool to see Halo stuff pop up on other games. Glad to see the music and just the atmosphere come alive in the game. Still to this day one of my favorite games that Halo has showed up in is Dead or Alive 4.
The part that got me was the tunnel. They hit you with CE dialogue, Halo 3 barricades and a Halo 2 set-piece Banshee within five seconds of one another; a brief but welcome nostalgia overload.
Pity the Halo 5 art-style was used, but I suppose its a nicer send-off than it otherwise would have had.
