I was in the top 5 for the 1000 club, top 20 in every speed trap, had every unicorn car. This is by FAR the best Forza game and if they remade it with 60FPS, I would buy a new Xbox just for it. I love this game

I've always been saying that while Horizon 2,3,4,5 improved upon the gameplay, Horizon 1 had the perfect "Horizon festival" feeling. A feeling the newest games really lack!

17:09 this part about everything being an upgrade had me dying XD Oh no, my mood got upgraded, challenge failed xD

Honestly I think why many people love forza horizon 1 is because of the color pallet and the vibrant of the game brings out that love of older games

_Progression and a very subtle grind is what I personally need and love in racing games, that or an all out sim racer._ I like Need for Speed, I like both The Crews, but there's only one Forza Horizon which I acutally enjoyed and that's Forza Horizon 1

I love when he's doing the Bose 80s Frenzy that all the cars in the finish cutscene have Bose products on them. A very nice touch indeed.

The upgrade technicalities made my day much more brighter. Thanks a lot Edna!

Now that we’re on the subject of Horizon1, the next challenge should be to do car parts randomizer. Because there is actually a mod that lets you use any part from any car, on every car.

(6:28) Eden: it is a really really short sprint NFS No Limits: wait a sec man...

Man's really scared at festival irl? He's just like me frfr

18:37 That TurboAnime guy makes amazing liveries, followed him since FH3

One of the things I hate about FH4 and FH5 is how fast you get money and can buy hyper cars in the first 30 min of game play. It'd be fun to see you play a version where everything costs 10x as much as normal or something like that!

Forza Horizon and NFS Pro Street are also my favorite racing games.

"refund your donation" lmfao, i fucking love this guy's humor

this game is so nostalgic, definitely had the best handling out of all the horizons and the rally dlc was super fun too.

FH1 is still the best Forza in terms of Atmosphere, nothing else comes close to the Festival Vibes and honestly it just feels wrong to me to drive without the Radio on while I always turn it off in the newer games. My biggest regret is not getting the DLC when it was still available, some absolutely fantastic gems in there like the Joss JT1 and Devon GTX which unfortunately haven't reappeared in the franchise since.

The best racing game content on yt atm! Such a refreshing and nostalgic video style!

You know, I've actually had loads of fun in Horizon 5 racing stock cars in C- and B-class street races, even with highly skilled ai

I think you should get an RGH'd 360. You can add DLC to it using a USB and you can avoid visual glitches for the most part. Also please use setup manager...just one click and boop! Back to stock.

I come back to this game multiple times a year ever since the release of it all the way back in 2012! This has always been my favourite horizon game and I've gotten 100% essentially every playthrough apart from the online stuff which has essentially been dead for years sadly. It's an amazing game!

12:49 just brought back so many memories!!

Forza horizon 5 has amazing graphics but honestly its almost as fun as watching paint dry

Love your stuff man, keep the KZfaq vids coming ❤️

Interesting to see this done, and also didn't see a FH1 challenge for a bit so that's nice, enjoyed the video and the bit with everything being an upgrade had me laughing out so hard. 😂

9:10 the Miata weighs 960kg, the ae86 is between 900-1045 depending on spec and trim

Awesome video Dustin!

The intro is funny already 😂👍

2:00 dude so relatable

This is my favorite Forza game just for the reason, that there is street racing in it. The concept of winning 10 races for the chance to get a really cool car is amazing. And I was actually quite lucky back then. The LFA was already my favorite car, and it isn't in every game. Just by accident I actually won it through the street racing. Amazing times. Actually made me almost cry. On my latest playthrough I actually went and crushed all 100 signs before even starting the game for real. It was annoying being called after a few minutes just to get insulted why I am not racing, but I just didn't care at all.

Dustin great content videos everytime thank you

I remember getting this for my birthday when it first came out, used to come home from highschool and play it, it is such an amazing game

Horizon 1 had such a fun vibe to it, especially liked how each wristband tier had a Champion of that specific tier who would show up in random races as an opponent that you'd get extra credits for beating, and they'd mock you at the start of the race, then eventually challenge you to a one-on-one race with their car as the prize once you got too big to ignore. The only thing that I found particularly sad was that all the champions that you defeated prior to Darius Flynt don't show up in his Tier as revenge opponents in the final race prior to his 1v1 with the player. Would've been fun, something similar to Need for Speed: Carbon where Wolf, Angie and Kenji show up as final opponents before Darius Also driving Red Rock Canyon in that game eclipses practically any other racing game driving experience ever, period

I love this game, it was my first new Forza game and I played the absolute shit out of it when I was younger. Brought back some good memories and now I might do another playthrough after I beat carbon again

seeing this game i like how you are not showered with cars upon cars upon bonus spins upon messages upon more stuff, I started with Horizon 3 and still think that it was the best that i played, 4 and especially 5 were massive sensory overloads. Your struggle with the upgrades was delicious and fun

Great vid, love to see old Forza content nowadays!

I'm actually thinking about starting my attempt at this challenge tomorrow or some other day after being inspired by this video, wish me luck!

This is one of my favorite games of all time. Couldn't stop drifting up red rock canyon

the soundtrack in the orginal horizon was great

I’m glad I had the privilege of growing up with FH1, even if it was a little later. It was the 1st game I ever beat, and the 1st 360 game I ever played. I used to post videos on an old YT channel. Good times.

nice video edna!

I used to remove upgrades on prize cars anyway, because I wanted to try them stock and upgrade them to my liking, so that challenge feels a bit familiar

loved this video, please do the next in the franchise!

Nice video, i was trying to do it in Forza Horizon 2 on xbox 360. Very Interesting challenge :)

I remember playing this and i managed to beat the whole game on very hard except 2 events. The 90's muscle car event, and the final race with darius. No assists or anything. The biggest problem is nothing in the game prepares you for the 1vs1 race with Darius. He is a different beast on very hard. Well done on this challenge.

I've once managed to beat this game without buying or upgrading cars but with allowing myself to use already upgraded cars on insane difficulty and no assists and it was insanely fun. Definitely recommend.

Wow good taste! Pro street and the original Horizon??? Mad respect and a sub from me!

This is a amazing idea, I’m going to try this on my own

Increible la Vane de copilota, poco se habla ehhh!!! VAMOS AHÍ ESE DUO 🔥🔥🔥

2:09 Okay, I didn't expect to be personally attacked by this video :P

Great video buddy

Did something similar to this if you wanna try it but I managed to complete it a couple years back without buying any cars, I didn't count buying the Subaru at the beginning since you're forced to. did it by getting most of the barn finds and racking up my level to unlock the prize cars from the showcases.

I didn't play FH1, but in the FH4 and FH5 I tried and didn't succeed... great video..

The Trueno is lighter than the Miata due to not needing the mechanicals and reinforcement for a convertible top, as well as having macpherson front and live axle rear suspension, compared to the MIata's double wishbone all around. So while the Miata seems smaller with its 2 seats, it's entirely packed with control arms, chassis braces and folding canvas while the Trueno is a hollow box with simple suspension.

I always played the horizon’s series with stock cars. But because of the wheelspins I managed to have some of the good cars in the game. Also: top hard difficulty

I didn't know if this game would even be able to be emulated thank you for making this video because this is insane news to me I love the original Verizon game is it was one of the few games to get me into cars or more over deeper into cars Gran Turismo was my first love but this is equal in my mind! I'd love to replay the game at 60fps+!!!!!!

This game is so nostalgic to me Man

I wanna see this man suffer the same predicament in SRS, that'd be fun. Actually, I might try that myself

The intro quality is so fucking strong, Dustin xD

I didn't watch the video yet, but I don't think you can beat the game without upgrading, because there are events that require a modified car

This game looks incredible in 1080p 60fps! Aging like a fine wine

this game and so much more character, replay ability, feel and fun compared to other horizons, hard to see how they went backwards, this with a larger map, more cars, tuning, the playlist expansive online would be a much better horizon than the past ones after the first, also you can remove all upgrades in one go with the setup manager using the pause or select button on the controller

Finally a sponsor:) 0:04

The Stock Cars Only Challenge in FORZA HORIZON simply insane but epic. 👍

2:11 same. Too true

Hey, if you are going to be playing again, go into the xenia config file and set the draw_resolution_scale values to 2 or 3 depending on your gpu, and that will double or triple the game resolution, making it a lot sharper :)

Now this is what KZfaq is for

Bruder wieder da ja wohl geile videos 😊👍

First racing game I 100% on in 2013 when I was 12 memories man

Best soundtrack in any game by far

Honestly this feels like such a better game than Horizon 4 and 5.

1:26 The song in the beginning gives me Real Racing 2 vibes

How are the collisions and characters better here than in the newest games lol 😂

game is amazing. Corrado is so OP bro it's not funny i discovered that by revisiting the game in like end 2022.

2:22 Hey I know that guy! Moved out of L.A. I see. Nice seeing you again Oswald Jacobs.

24:10 *IT'Z ILLEEEEEEGAL* Yup, he is German. 😂

As someone who has played all Forza Horizon games only with stock cars, yes. I would dare to say it's even easier than maxing them out since every car has a "feel" to it, which you can easily get used to

Would love the Challenge for FH2 and FH3

We gotta get Eden out to Gridlife or Hyperfest

Prostreet was my first need for speed game

Still my all time favorite Horizon game! 😊👍

Forza Motorsport 4 and Horizon 1 is my childhood

Iam still on my first ever Horizon1 playthrough after Kuru put up the video of it perfectly running via Xenia emulator. I can feel the 2012 vibes and understand why its higly sought after :) Only things i dont like is a too fast progression ( After the 3rd ShowEvent I already get gifted an F40 Ferrari which makes many shitboxes in the game useless, also restoring a Barn find only takes 5 minutes in game which makes them less special... I also started Horizon3 but i wont go newer than that. H1 shows where Horizon started, H3 is a great middle ground that holds up well, H4 and H5 just implemented to much stuff nobody likes.

U could just do setup manager and get everything to default and remove everything, and save time for checking everything one by one

FH1 us easily my favorite of the horizon games and i wish they go back to having actual even restrictions like PI and type of car

i already know the answer, it's yes. when i was playing Forza Horizon as a kid, i used to think that upgrading cars is for losers, legends beat game with original cars, that's why i was using slowest, and most basic cars possible, and i do that 'till this day, in forza horizon 4, 5, and also motorsport! :D

22:12 :) Hint: Slow down a bit to find ... number (:

best game fact 10/10

It's incredible how nfs dropped the pro street ball then Forza took it and dunked it so hard

One thing I really want to see, is James Variety once again denying you at the Gran Turismo race office like that special GT4 livestream. I never laughed so hard at one of the intros as that one :D

6:04 X to doubt

I have kept my x360 just for FH1 and FMotorsport4 that i played hard at the time. Got cd, got my saves, I can go back to it if id like in future. Wont sell it, not worth few coins.

even before watching this video, i was already thinking which cars from each class were the best to be bought lol...

So much of this video hurt me as a Petrolhead.

Can't wait for the Xenia version to be near perfect. It's still QUITE Rough. But I completely understand of course, it's an emulator. I'd rather play it through backwards compatibility.

Forza Horizon 5 would be easy to beat with no upgrades because you can get op cars without much effort.

I Remember this game looking like how FH5 now looks.

Since you are gifted with a lot of cars in the game, is it possible to finish without buying cars? (the lancer/subaru in the begging doesn't count)

you should've used the upgraed version of the emulator, xenia canary. it eliminated almost all issues with the game you experienced here.

Just rename the challenge to "without purchasing upgrades" and it all fits
