jpm1 1,950 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) 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) Edited September 18, 2018 by jpm1 Link to post Share on other sites

(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 Link to post Share on other sites
jpm1 1,950 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Pocket Fox 6,777 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 So go play those games then... 60% metacritic for Assetto Corsa though - must be some impressive quality. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Spider-Vice 42,150 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 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. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

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 Edited September 19, 2018 by HaRdSTyLe_83 Link to post Share on other sites
jpm1 1,950 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) 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 😕 Edited September 19, 2018 by jpm1 Link to post Share on other sites
DEALUX 2,554 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 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). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
KDA 1,925 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I believe it's called simcade. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DEALUX 2,554 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 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. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Pink 12,104 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites

KDA 1,925 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites

KDA 1,925 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Flachbau 16,651 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
