I have a 1070 and set on High it looks pretty but I'm getting some weird issues.

Same issue on my 1060. The benchmark didn't had this issue.

wait... can anyone confirm if the bolded part is 100% true??

This could be someone reacting to the setting rather than the actual graphics (like saying a desert game looks "worse" than a jungle one), but I'd never say this looks less good than Horizon 3, especially if you're on PC. Maybe if they were on console playing in the 60fps mode, and were comparing it to the 4K patch for 3?

I'm really liking the music selection a lot more then last time. Horizon 3's selection was good but this seems much better.

The LOD is definitely harsher than FH3 on ultra settings on PC, I haven't played enough extreme yet to tell if that fixes my issue with the LOD. (FH3 didn't have 'extreme' settings, so maybe extreme in FH4 is FH3 ultra?) The deciduous trees look pretty bad from a moderate distance.

Pine trees look great though.

Is there any dlc or something that can get me ulmate edition content? I will play it with gamepass but I also want to buy extra stuff.
FH3 has VIP pass, I can't find this for FH4. Not released yet?

Bummed that I don't have a Hospital Records station for the demo. Drum n Bass suits these games so well.

Feeling like Test Drive Ultimate with the cutscenes and game style (first time playing this franchise), but with great performance. It auto put me on high settings but hardly use much of my GPU yet. I guess it gets crazy later in the game.

Thankfully the steam controller works great. <3 GloSC, I wonder if a updated version is out that doesn't need steam running by now, like the Linux custom drivers.

Shame, game is forcing me to install one of Nvdia's new shit drivers to play, when they introduce stuttering and similar problems on other games here (GTA V for an example). Will have to pass.

Dirt racing is really fun. I don't know what changed cuz it's usually not my favorite mode.

Finally got to try out the demo on 1X in 4k/hdr.

Yup, the game looks insane.

The summer/off-road rally part of the intro race are prolly the best graphics I have seen this gen.

Love how the pine trees look...reminds me of the Pacific Northwest.

Is it the game? Or the MS store? I thought you could bypass the MS store prompt these days.

I use a ton of overlays and ignored the gpu update message. No problems so far.

I hope you can move the HUD map. Up somewhere instead of the lower left corner, and it seems so small. One without the border and a bit closer to the middle, maybe lower opacity.

I will say, the performance mode on X sticks (seemingly) perfectly at 60 fps, but the differences in LoD and alpha effects even on top of the resolution drop is noticable enough on my TV that I may actually stick with with the 4K mode. This is a showcase title. I haven't seen high-quality trees thrown around this casually since the Witcher.

Agreed. I had planned on playing the game in performance mode which I tried first. It looked fine but the aliasing and graphics weren't amazing like Horizon 3 was on xbox one x. I then tried the 4K mode, what a difference. This might be the best looking game of the generation. I think I will stick with 4K now.

Oh nice. The replays not ignore the rewind. Before in Horizon 3 I believe it kept the rewinds in. This just edits them out and shows the race uninterrupted based on what you agreed with.

Good thing we can brute force MSAA with a pretty good (by today's standards) performance impact, since there's no TAA to be found and the game with no AA looks quite jaggy. Absolutely incredible graphics though.

Wow, this game actually runs on my 5 years old low end laptop. FH3 after all the patches and at the same settings, cant manage 18-20fps while FH4 demo runs comfortably at 30. So that 2 years of learning how to do a PC port paid off I presume

There is an ignore and continue button but I didn't try it.

No one can because it's not true.
Some parts of the game look really bad.

Like the mountain in this screenshot. There is definitely something wrong with it.

FH3 as a whole looked better.

Thanks Mohasus . That's the prompt I'm aware of. Want to make sure there isn't something else so I can help escalate to the right people if need be.

The close mountain or the one in the distance because if its the close one as someone from the UK that looks realistic tbh my one complaint would be how the sky links with the mountain but its a low one

Playing on the X and like everyone is saying its beautiful and with HDR is something else. Its so colorful. I love the newly added lens flare. Ghost games didnt add HDR NFS Payback. Hopefully they will learn how to do it right for their next game.

I don't even understand how can they surpass FH3 which is nigh on perfect as an arcade racer AND a graphics showcase (post patch on PC of course) and somehow they actually did it.

Extreme settings made a difference. Ultra looked a bit too much like FH2 on 360... Yeah I guess I can't complain about these graphics at all.

But I'm still crashing. Crashed twice after the rally car race now. Is there anything in the demo after that?
