Announcement trailer in 4k

 

Live play with coverage of seasons change


And Gameplay demo from IGN

 

I had a blast with horizon 3 (especially the hot wheels expansion) once it ran good after a few updates, look forward to this.

 

Day mutha-****en one! Just wish we had gotten VR support

 

Cool but does England really have good terrain compared to Australia and USA? Also I'm guessing we'll have to wait 6+ months after release until its fixed like with the last 2 forza games lol

 

It looks they are getting better on UWP, FM7 was virtually problem free comparing to FH3 mess.
Both are super stable now, perhaps the most stable and consistently performing games in my library.
Us, PC gamers, should really be thankfull to MS for making Play Anywhere a reality.
Now we have Forza, Gears of War, and upcoming Halo Infinite.

 

Judging by what I seen in car shows there are some nice places, besides hopefully there will be at least one larger city to "go PGR".
Anyway, they have some artistic freedom, so the quality of the surface and some less enjoyable "layouts" can be fixed

--------------------

Looks tempting but Im not sure about how it drives. I would first need to buy Win10 to test a demo, while I assume my wish for alternative physics which are somewhat more realistic are, well, unrealistic.
Do you actually need to be careful to not lose the rear or is it rather hard to fail in FH?

Also The scenario in the FH games seems also to be rather bland.

 

As an Aussie, FH4 is a bit of an anti-climax after 2 years of FH3 being based in our own backyard! But after USA, France/Italy then Australia featuring in the first 3 Horizon's, it should have been a no-brainer to base it on one of the most car-mad countries in the world - Japan.

BUT I'm not surprised that Japan never got the gong, in the end Japan obviously favours PS4 and GT and not Xbox/MS and Forza. Hence why there has been no Japanese tracks included since Forza Motorsport 3! And Forza couldn't even get Toyota in FH3 last time around either......

TBH, I thought they would have gone back to USA for FH4 and covered the north-west coast and states; a bit of Vegas, a bit of SF, then Oregon/Washington. But noooo we go to Britain. Not a bad part of the world done get me wrong, some spectacular country throughout. But when you think of road trips, convoys and the such, a British B-road doesn't really come to mind over Japan.

I doubt very much that I will get FH4, I will keep using FH3 if I am desperate or bored enough that I need it to wind down or entertain me.

 

Yep, the novelty wears off on Horizon very quickly. Even with FH3 being based in my own backyard, the hype was gone after a month or two.

 

Yeah I really don't picture 200mph supercars having a good time on british roads, or actually most of Japan either. They're more an American/German superhighways thing.

 

This is Forza Horizon, you spend more time off road than on it. Blasting through trees in a Bentley is pretty awesome, no matter which country it happens in IMO.

 

With AC around you pretty much play any other racing titles for "a break", none of them has similar longevity.
Still nice to blast through the nice looking open world from time to time.

PS. That signature, my eyes!

 

lots of improvements but iam not going to buy it just because i cant afford buying a new gpu to run this game, FH3 ran like dog **** on my system.

 

You'd need one for ACC anyway, no way it will be better optimized than current FH3 build.

 

I doubt ACC will be heavier on my gpu, forza games are really poorly optimized on pc, had to run the game on lowest settings possible, sometimes even going to 900p and it still was laggy and crashing.
meanwhile i can play pcars 2 with high\medium settings with AI no issues what so ever.
if the prices weren't so high right now i would considering buying a new gpu.

 

We must be talking different Forzas then or some old release.
FH3 had some issues initially that were all sorted out by now. FM7 had much smoother launch, running smoothly with good fps out of the box, was improved even more since then.
If your PC can not run these two titles, it will be miracle it will handle new Kunos title.
Hope I am wrong, really.

 

You really need to quit stating this as fact.

 

Welcome to the coversation Mike.
This is not a fact, far from it.
Just observation based on my experience with different titles.
While Kunos impressed us before, I am trying to be more realistic with performance expectations esp. when comparing to so well optimized titles like Forza. We are not talking Ubisoft here.
How about GOW4, can your PC handle it, it's UE4 too and optimized superbly for its visual fidelity.

 

I don't know what GOW4 is. I do know that rf2 looks like **** yet it can bring my system to its knees on medium settings. FH3 looks great and runs smooth (other than the city part of the map) at nearly maxed settings.

 

benchmarks for GOW4.....a GTX1060 near to 60FPS @1440 on ultra
