Forza Horizon 4

[jpm1 1,959]

whatever the amount 100E is just insane. is England fully modelized? if so then it may justify a bit the price. but X-plane features the whole planet, and costs 69. been watching Forza 7 vids, and the engine is not impressive.. (looks like and arcade game)

Video game prices usually aren't based on map size. If that were the case GTA games would cost like 500 bucks by now.

 

With the Forza Ultimate Edition you're getting the game and all of its DLC. Whether or not that's worth the money is gonna be subjective though, I guess. To me it's not worth it. I enjoy the games but they usually tend to come with enough cars that I'm not gonna pay extra for more and I've never really liked their expansions.

 

What really bugs me though, is the day one car packs. If the content's done when the game releases it should be in the game not sold separately 

[jpm1 1,959]

well that game looks like just TheCrew (maybe enhnced) to me. for somebody like me who owns quality simulators like Assetto corsa, and Dirt rally (both featuring dozens of mythical cars), it's almost impossible to put 100 bucks in a driving game. i mean i'm having so much fun with these games, Horizon is just curiosity for me

[Pocket Fox 6,786]

So go play those games then...

 

60% metacritic for Assetto Corsa though - must be some impressive quality.

[Spider-Vice 47,527]

Assetto Corsa is a heavy simulator, and it was plagued by release issues I think, which might be why reviews are low, I don't quite remember everything. Not sure why we're comparing simulators to a clearly arcade-like game like Forza Horizon though.

i like how you cherry picked the metacritic score that was more conveniente to you out of the 4. PC version got 85% / ultimate edition got 82% / PS4 got 73% / and Xbox got 63%.

 

i already pre-ordered both the new Horizon and the new Assetto competizione, one for fun and the other for a real racing experience

AC competizione is in early access on Steam, at a very low price right now. so maybe if you are interested in that kind of game, it's the good moment to buy it. to sum up Assetto corsa, imagine you rent a Ferrari IRL, this is what AC gives you. only circuit racing though. and AC competizione features night, and rain cycles, and GT3 only, while AC has no rain/night cycles but a great variety of cars. all with realistic behaviors, and high fidelity audio. just a small clarification for those who wondered about it

 so Forza is arcade oriented, a kind of theCrew then. well i think it'll be a no go for me

Horizon 4 is not that arcadey. It straddles the line between arcade and sim physics quite well. The controller response is superb but the Motorsport games are even more realistic.

 

 

Speaking of input response, playing this game on a 1080 Ti with G-sync (165 Hz) is just amazing but they still need to optimize the game. At one point the game got stuck on 47 FPS (with 40-50% GPU utilization).

 

[KDA 1,985]

I believe it's called simcade.

[DEALUX 2,596]

Yeah, except that Horizon is more towards the arcade side of things and Motorsport is more towards the sim part but they're both kinda in the middle.

 

Weirdly enough, the handling model in FH4 reminds me a little of TDU but of course more refined and more responsive which is characteristic of Forza games in general.

[Mister Pink 12,591]

I immediately switched off all assists, so I couldn't compare it to anything else and I would only know that way...helps me to try to be better and I found it a little bit easier that Horizon 2. I don't want to say more arcadey than Horizon 2 but just easier because there are so many variables at play. I mean the cars we get are tuned in a certain way I think that is supposed to be fun and accessible with a tiny bit of challenge but not much at all. 

 

 

 

 

[DEALUX 2,596]

I didn't like the handling in the first two Horizon games that much.

[HaRdSTyLe_83 5,180]

this image made me so happy

They are a bit too arcadey for me too. I'd prefer Dirt 2/3 levels of Arcadey-ness

Still, the rest of the experience has always been very solid.

[MiamiViceCity1986 51,563]

Pre-ordered the ultimate edition ready for Friday. Can't wait.

[DEALUX 2,596]

I would have pre-ordered it as well but RDR2 is also coming out and I haven't finished the older Forzas yet.

[GAUNTLET HELLFIRE 8,768]

I preordered the ultimate edition just need to do a few more hot wheels championships for my last Horizon 3 achievement and then I'll be ready for Horizon 4. 

[MiamiViceCity1986 51,563]

Played it for a bit just after the release at midnight. My first car is a 69 Charger with the General Lee livery. Britain's along way from Hazzard County.

I'm already at level 11 and have 36 cars and have done the first couple of showcases.

 

Oh and...

I downloaded the newest nvidia driver and gonna play it in like 10 hours, have to go to work soon, im a bit exctited, probably the perfomance sucks on PC like usual. It's always nice if games get released on fridays.

it runs pretty good to be honest, dynamic optimization set everything to ultra, only thing it missed was the resolution, it was set to 2560x1440p and not the ultrawide 3440x1440p.

 i dont know how many i have, only played around 1 hour to finish the tutorial, and receive the goodies from being vip, bought the R8 and went to bed, from all the wheelspins, all i got was stupid clothing and horns. the only car i got was the BAC Mono

[Mexicola9302 1,883]

Yeah it's the first time they did it right, performance really is good, i set all to ultra not extreme 1440p and 8xAA, i get my desired 60 fps with a GTX 1070, but it's a shame there is no SLI...

 

Edit: Game crashed 3 times in 4 hours of gameplay, just great.

did you update the drivers? i got that message saying my drivers were out of date and i disregarded and rcashed after the first race, after updating it never crashed again,

[KDA 1,985]

So I just got the first house in this game. Can anyone who is further along tell me if the house gets any more use, like a garage of sorts (like in TDU2)?

 

Or is the house just a glorified menu? Because if so, then that's a huge downer. It was the feature I was most looking forward to.

I didn't even know it was a feature. There are properties now?

[KDA 1,985]

Yes. Though it seems like all you do is drive up, press the Activate button, and it just enters into the same menu as the Autoshow.

[Flachbau 16,726]

Each house has their perks, hover over them on the map and you'll be able to see. But it really is just a glorified menu.. but I love how you can change the color of your vehicle outside in direct lighting. Autoshow lighting was always weird for me and never helped me make colors accurate.

[Ivan1997GTA 1,871]

One question, is it possible to play music from a custom radio station in this game like Groove Music in Forza Horizon 3, or did they get rid of that completely?

I don't believe it's possible any longer. Haven't seen anything for it
