Forza Horizon 6 wows an OG Silent Hill lead and other Japanese players with its realistic setting: "It's so Japanese, it's almost too Japanese. It feels like everyday life"

A yellow car speeds down a street in Tokyo at night in Forza Horizon 6.

There's something genuinely awe-inspiring about playing a game that vividly recreates a real-life setting. The New York City of Insomniac's recent Spider-Man games is a perfect example, and now we have the Tokyo of Forza Horizon 6, a recreation so good, even locals are astounded.

Not just any local residents, either. You've got game developers, such as Keiichiro Toyama, director of the first Silent Hill and creator of the Siren series. After spending some time in the new racer from Playground Games, he stepped out into Japan's capital and found it was like stepping into Forza Horizon 6 for real.
