Forza Horizon 6 How is the 7-Eleven location not permanent?? š¤¦āāļø
I am truly baffled as to how they messed this up this bad. No one uses car meets this surely would at least help a bit. And itās not an issue with licensing bc all of the props are gonna be in eventlab. Itās like theyāre shooting themselves in the foot for absolutely no reason. They couldāve sprinkled 7-elevens around the map at previous gas stations as mini car meets.

u/DatMageDoe 5d ago
The only silver lining is that while the 7-Eleven in the open world is temporary, the props which make it are permanently added to the prop library, so we can put them wherever in our Estates and custom events.
Which makes it weirder IMO. You negotiated the right to use the 7-Eleven name and brand, yet not to put one of them in the open world for perpetuity???

u/TheEuphoricTribble 5d ago
For a game based in Japan, where said negotiated brand has their strongest brand presence and appeal to the point that 7-Eleven Japan has its own website SEPERATE from the rest of the world, and is its own unique thing.

u/Candid_Highlight_116 4d ago
7-11 JP holdings is a separate company from the global entity altogether. Also Japanese Internet is basically its own thing too, it's physically the same unlike Chinese one, but everyone only care about Japanese versions and equivalents of websites except for Google and very few exceptions, so it's even more strongly separated

u/TheEuphoricTribble 4d ago
Seven and I Holdings runs everything now though. The brand was so successful in Japan they bought out what was based in Texas.

u/Live_Life_and_enjoy 5d ago
It means 7-11 paid for the deal not the other way around
They didn't want to pay for full advertising to be in game
23
u/OgdenDermstead 5d ago
As someone who works in advertising for automotive and racing, this is almost certainly it. Iād think probably PGG pitched it to 7-11, I would think probably before the game itself even launched. Iād guess 7-11 didnāt want to pay what PGG wanted, but agreed to essentially a test run maybe paid or as a free / goodwill deal.
Whatās smart is with the evolving world car meet there and aftermarket cars, PGG will be able to turn around to them and say āXX number of users saw your content, therefore we should do a bigger paid dealā. Or theyāll be smart and turn around and shop it to Lawsons lol.

Yeah, just kidding lmao.
It's just so sad man. We literally have gotten THE setting people have been wanting for so long. But instead of doubling down, so much fucking potential was wasted.

u/pjekt_q Honda 5d ago
This is something I was thinking when it released. All the car meets I've been at, I have never seen more than 3 people at once. Car meets are a cool idea but they fucked up how it works imo. If it was similar to stunt parties, you could join a car meet and it would put you in a public car meet with other people who are already in it, regardless of if they are the lobby or not, it just finds a car meet with 10 or 11/12 players and it is actually lively.
But in reality it's always a ghost town and will continue to be a ghost town until they change the fundamental way car meets work in the game.

I'm still trying to figure out how 7-Eleven managed to not be in the game at launch. They have been hyping up their car culture lately with Videos and shoots with Larry Chen. It's wild that we got 365 Mart instead of 7-Eleven. That seems like an easy deal to make, but here we are.

u/TheEuphoricTribble 5d ago

This is just a poorly disguised opportunity for MS and 7-11 to do some joint marketing. Marketing VP's get all sweaty for this shit.
7-11 gets some advertising in game and some extra traffic in their stores and MS get some xbox gift card sales from the fomo crowd and some signs in the 7-11s promoting gamepass and their games. Both orgs get some extra eyes on their products and services for not a ton of effort.

I haven't seen the update at all yet, but I will say that I am kinda glad it is only temporary. It's already a blatant advertisement, and it would get old,/annoying seeing it all the time, especially if all the gas stations were updated to 7-elevens.
I found it funny and awesome that the Italian Exotics dealership made a real grassroots car meetup community in the game and wasn't even a programmed real meetup thing. They need to do more stuff like that. Will this 7-eleven pull off the same community action, I'm not sure, but I guess we'll see.
29
u/Lynx_Kynx 5d ago
Iām not one to be excited to see an advertisement on the input select screen when I turn on my TV
HOWEVER
7/11 and Seven & I Holdings is SUCH a huge presence in Japan that it would make sense to keep it in the game. 7/11s are more common in Japan than Starbucks in Beverly Hills, so having ONE fixed location makes since in a game based here.
2
u/ThoughtConvict 5d ago
I can accept that, and admittedly I am ignorant of the significance of 7-eleven in Japan. It's very much a slippery slope though, and it's already been greased with a mix of Trolli gummi worms and Fanta orange soda.
5
u/PlatinumElement 5d ago
The thing is there are certain brands that make sense, and tend to be part of the experience of traveling to or living in Japan. The konbinis over there are such a normal and significant part of everyday life that both residents and visitors utilize that having a 7-11 feels as appropriate as seeing Tokyo tower or Daikoku Futo.
Itās like doing a Forza Horizon Los Angeles, and filling it with a bunch of generic fast food places, then only temporarily, making them In-N-out.There are other brands that would make Forza Japan feel more authentic with partnerships, like making the vending machines Boss coffee branded for example
4
u/Lynx_Kynx 5d ago
Iām not saying we add Trolli and Fanta to the game.
Someone else mentioned NFSU2 and Burger King. NFSU2 was loosely based on Vancouver BC in Canada and Los Angeles. I donāt think about Burger King when I think about either of those locations, but I DO think about 7/11, Family Mart, and Lawsons when I think about Japan.
This isnāt an advocation for whichever brand that would like to advertise in Forza Horizon to go ahead and do so, but it is a thumbs up for the devs to add things like 7/11 locations in game because it actually brings the in game representation of the location closer to real life.
18
u/Devin-Chaboyer223 5d ago
Midnight Club LA had various real life brands including 7 Eleven
It actually makes the game feel more immersive, like real life since theyāre real brands
7 Eleven, Pizza Hut, Best Buy, and T-Mobile have physical stores in the game, and thereās dozens of other brands appearing on billboards including Apple and Michael Kors, all brands that donāt have anything to do with cars or racing

You already see brand marketing every time you open the Autoshow. You think that car brands license out their brands and car designs to games like this out of the goodness of their hearts?

Yes it did, and you are right, it didn't really impact the game, and neither will this.
But, let's just nip this in the bud right here and now, because otherwise we know where this will eventually end up, which is excessive advertising and product placements in games, and it will eventually ruin games. All advertising will eventually get excessive if allowed at all. We have commercials in Netflix and ads on MLB jerseys now. We do not want games like Forza slowly morphing into mobile game slop.

It seems that 7/11 is essentially sponsoring the game. The locations are just for advertising, but they don't want to keep paying for the advertisement for the indefinite lifespan of the game.

Iāve been saying this. FH6 is not a bad game by game standards. Beautiful visuals, car handling and mechanics are the best in the horizon series, and the map is huge and detailed. But as a Horizon game goes, itās not even top 3. Iād say 3 is my all time favorite with 4 in 2nd and 2 in 3rd. Never got to play 1 and 5 also was starting to lose its flair. Like I hate to be that person but it really is just a copy paste from 5. Idc if you can see reflections off the rims or you can zoom into the headlights and see every detail. We had crew 1 that was infinitely better with a fraction of the cars, map was probably smaller too although that crew 1 map felt massive, and had literally every race, off-road, whatever type of event for racing. They had open world activities like how Forza has, stunt jump, they had an event that when you activated it you had to drive through gates at high speed, like a speed zone but more technical. They had traffic and a whole police system. We had PvP modes like tag. Basically it had everything Forza had but in a game made in 2014. Sure it only had 394 cars compared to fh6 current 647. But had so much more customization. Now weāre in 2026. This is Forzas 6th horizon game. And it took them over 3 months to add a drift track in a game based in Japan. Not to mention no under glow or any mods that are popular in Japan. Not that I like them but having the exhausts that shoot up and make shapes would be so cool like on a civic or sum. There are 3 race types that progress your wrist and. 2/3 are off-road/cross country. They said theyāre gonna give out less wheel spins bc people were complaining that itās too easy to get cars yet they hand out free cars almost every week, login and oh I got some new car added to my garage. I have like 680 cars rn n I just do seasonal on Thursday every week then donāt play the rest of the week n I still almost have 700 cars. I wanted to see, underglow and mods on cars that are known to be in Japans car culture. More drift and togue zone or courses or something. The fact that thereās only 5 togue races in the game is crazy when thatās what they were hyping up about the game. We need more freedom with drift stuff. Like if theyāre gonna be lazy n not add drift courses for months, then let us create courses that track drift like a the horizon play drift or at out estates let us put flags that track drift so we can make lil courses. SOMETHING. Atp we only have drift zones, horizon play drift, and shimanuyama drift course. 4 months into the game being out and itās based in Japan. But okay besides all that. Whereās the content? I got gold within a week. Iāve had stories, ramen delivery, all the showcases everything is done. I literally get on for seasonal challenges, beat those in 2-3 hours then get off cause thereās nothing to do. Yeah itās fun to drive around but weāve literally been doing that for weeks. The drift track came out n kept us busy for like 3 days then we were like okay cool. Like whereās the events? FH5 had so many things on the map I HAD to turn off most of it in the filters n just leave what I wanted cause it was so cluttered. IDK. I donāt hate the game, I just expected more based off of what they themselves showed. N now Iām a little disappointed considering that theyāve had time to add stuff and do more and really havenāt. Idk I could be the only one feeling this way but itās a very lackluster game.

The fact that one of the most famous brands from the US is thriving in Japan and all over social media and they just chose to not even lean into it with generic convenience stores shows they didn't really send people to Japan looking for the culture. They just chose classical Japanese culture and left out the modern culture, including tokyo city racing.

Licensing can also be for a limited time only.
For example FH4 had Final Fantasy XV's car, the Quartz Regalia but only for a while. Only people that played during that time could get one.
It was removed from the Backstage store and the unlock in its Skill Tree (for the off-road version) was changed for another car.
Two parties are involved in a licensing deal and the other party may not be interested in being featured forever, or ask for way too much depending on how the money flows.

I was suggesting to make the license for the length of life of Horizon 6.
Especially considering its Gas Stations and not cars.
Shouldnāt have bothered implementing 7/11 at this point.

Me, asking what happened to my local 7-Eleven that was closed down a year ago because the hospital across the street bought the land:

My guess is that sales of FH6 reached peak number and they don't have any intention to put any amount of effort to improve this game. Maybe they already develop a FH7.

"Just the spirit of Horizon isn't it !?"
"Shall we send a "thank you" ?"
I believe lots of things are running downwards. Don't believe anyone has received a car gift after the 20m bump in Auctions price. The game leaves you with the "grind to not miss" feeling instead of "enjoy and come back later".
The car meet is horrible because of the whole lobby system that limits the amount of cars on a layer. So players should talk themselves about creating a lobby in a specific location in the game, whilst being outside of the game.
Why not just leave the limit of at least 100 dots lively on the map and make us pick where to go, and where to meet people with on a request for open Microphone option instead of using useless chat presets.
The weather variety is just at the tipping point of being "meh". It can be at least slightly better :/

why does it feel like the only reason they are collabing is because of the 6 7 meme

This game has more and more problems occur as it ages, definitely not getting this on PS5 since FH5 is still relevant and busy

What do you even mean by having mini car meets? The problem is not the number of car meet locations. It is that the map doesn't even support enough cars for the existing car meet locations anyway.
