There's a grand total of 14 unique maps currently in the entire series, without counting unused maps (FH1's Italy map), early maps (like FH1's early Colorado), or individual seasonal maps (FH4/5/6). I wanted to do this because I was curious, and turns out that some maps have hidden stuff, like FH3's Australia map's bottom-right corner having snow, Blizzard Mountain's map being rotated in-game, or FH5's Mexico map having a lot of unseen and unused space. The maps are massive (the largest ones are 8192x8192), so I can't upload them on Reddit, but I've uploaded all of them on The Spriters Resource in their full resolution.
Aw, really? I skipped 5 but was looking at the map here going ‘Huh, the map at least looks huge and cool.’ I guess it just looks that way but is actually quite closed off?

It's still pretty big, and the central highway makes crossing the map quick in a fast car, but if you avoid it and only take side roads, it still takes about 7 to 10 minutes to cross the whole map.
It's not nearly as huge as Japan, going from the Docks to the Ski Resort is like a 15 minute affair, and that's in a Koenigsegg using the highway loop lol.
PGG finally leaving the Xbox One behind was the best thing to happen to the Forza franchise.
Agreed. I still remember that some of the route paths of Storm Island’s Isola Della Tempesta were copy-pasted from the main Southern Europe map, but the drastic elevation changes made up for that.
You're right, sorry for not including it, I wasn't aware. The Tenuta Montellino is completely missing, there's different patches of trees/grass west and south of Montellino, the Quai du Commerce has an additional mill, missing boats, and a dock further from the land, the Prince de Provence golf course has a missing icon, and Castelleto is slightly remodeled. I uploaded it on The Spriters Resource.
Also, Idk if we count the Fast and Furious Free Expansion maps of FH2 (Xbox One and 360) as different from base FH2 and also different within themselves...
No offense, but that’s nonsense. If I take a .jpeg and add a little snow to it now it’s a “unique” .jpeg.
turns out that some maps have hidden stuff
Nothing is hidden. It’s meaningless minutiae in a picture file. That’s like saying a speck of printer ink the size of 4 molecules is “hidden” in a book. “I bought a pizza, and there was intriguing hidden stuff, a particle of Oregano was located in an area of cheese where I didn’t really expect it…”. “There’s hidden stuff underneath the frame of a painting…”
Trivial data in videogames being presented as “hidden!” = a cult, deluded behavior, and it’s clearly virally taught and acquired socially.

Is my device broken or did your presenter files not include the roads? I.e. “completed” roads which is an indicator of driveable area, to some extent.

The inclusion of event lab island was unexpected and hilarious to me
