Forza Horizon 4

Since NFS is going down the drain, Forza is the only good alternative.
Do these car companies pay MS to feature their cars in the game or is it otherwise in the form of license fees and all?

Horizon Life/Horizon Stories:


In Horizon Life you’ll be able to earn progress in the game… and level up and get rewards through any of those activities,” says Brown. “If all you want to do is paint, the game will recognise that; it will give you objectives and challenges and rewards, and you can level up and see all the game’s content just through being a painter. It’s the ultimate evolution of Forza’s play-how-you-want philosophy. If all you want to do is paint, the game will recognise that... It’s the ultimate evolution of Forza’s play-how-you-want philosophy.

Brown explains we’ll be able to pick up gigs like being a stunt driver in a movie, or assisting in a car documentary shoot.

Seasons change everything’ sounds like a neat tagline, but it’s a really honest description of what actually happens from season to season… in our game

It’s not an online-only game. As much as this is a shared-world game, and we believe it’s much better played with other people, you can totally just click a button and play the entire game in single player with Drivatars.

FH3 was great, but I would still like to see some good story in racing games. NFS Underground 1 & 2, MW & Carbon were some good racing games. I even liked The Crew (not much hope from Crew 2 as it is going Forza Horizon way).

Problem with Microsoft is their persistence on releasing games only on MS Store which is a $hitstorm without a doubt.

Forza Horizon 4 is coming to Steam on March 9th

Forgot this thread existed. I play FH4 a few times every week, so if anyone else wants to play can ping me. At endgame, I just complete weekly Festival challenges & do online PvP races.

Now available in Steam for ₹1299

I think @thetechfreak would like that.

is there any chance that other M$ xbox games like gears of war 4 might be released for steam as well in future?

I think only Microsoft knows that. Microsoft is releasing games on Steam very reluctantly because adoption of their own services is poor. Same with EA, hardly anyone uses Origin.

Apparently steam version of FH4 is shit. Not sure why it needed porting when a PC version was available, guess UWP is the reason. MS could have implemented account linking like ubisoft & EA, i.e. your steam purchase gets added to your Xbox account. This would have helped those who played it for 3 months on cheap XGP to buy the game as well. Many would prefer no UWP, including me & that is something that MS needs to do IMO.

So UWP version is better than Steam version ?

At least that's what initial adopters are claiming. No big reviews yet, but MS did outsource the porting job.

Idk but windows version got deleted automatically once and I canceled my gamepass.

Will pick it up on Steam soon.

I am loving this with a controller. Keyword is controller. This is my first experience playing with a modern controller, with analog sticks.
The driving experience has blown me away. I didn't know the throttle sound changes depending on how much its pressed! With keyboard its either 100 or 0 .

I highly highly recommend playing with a controller. I got the xbox one, but a redgear one available only should also be a good one.
Unfortunately game itself is annoying with the open world, with fast travel being locked away and limited. I ended up with the ahem version, which is a shame as I really want online..

Here are a few pictures I took. Absolutely loving the game.

Fast Travel works fine though. Unless you purchase a particular house you can only fast travel between your homes. Once you buy that house you can fast travel anywhere. There's no need to pirate lol.

Lol
Fast travel needs a manor to be purchased then 50 fast travel boards to be destroyed to reduce cost to 0 (for taking out all 50). UWP & Network issues for setting up online PvP races are my major gripes against the game but it is the best modern racing game for me. FH4 ultimate edition for 1.4k from steam was a great deal, at least removes UWP shit but introduces some other bugs.

How much game time does it take to get fast travel anywhere house ? I don't have much time to spend these days on gaming, and can't spend them on open world roaming about..

Not much it's 5 million. Also, no rush to play and finish in few days. Games are meant to be enjoyed so need to rush through.

+1 to this

If you play a few hours daily post hitting lv20, it might take 2-3 days to hit 5M credits. But go at your own pace. I used to enjoy driving around when I started playing, but after 200+ hrs, not anymore.

bah! I am having too much fun with this. Had to buy . Now to find ways to quickly make Crs. Any recommended guide please ?

Buy 1982 Porsche 911 for $150K, spend 40 skill points on mastery earn $300K and a couple of wheel spins, delete car, repeat.

I use BMW M6 FE for skill point farming, or use another car with x7 multiplier if you don't have that.

Now that I am playing with a goal of earning money, races have become more 'meaningful' . So glad I got it.
I am in full gaming zone now . Loving it. Runs @ 60 fps

what's the issue with steam version? I had issues with MSFT version when it was constantly getting deleted by itself from the HD. Steam runs perfect

yeah stable for me as well. @ 60 fps . I have ryzen 1600af, 1650, 16gb

stable 60fps for me as well 2200g 1660s 16gb ram

Damn they treat customers bad.
Random 1min forced ads. and some races are practically pay to race. You need a specific car to race, either get the car with really large ingame credits, or real $.

How else do you expect to race...in a racing game.

lol I meant it needs specific cars that have to be bought.
