Forza Horizon 4 Review Thread

Even though Horizon is a very different game compared to Motorsport, GT, DriveClub and PCars I still think I will crown FH4 the best racing game of this gen.

However, people who are mianly into more simulator games won't like it much.

For me WipEout Omega Collection is probably the most fun I've had with racing games this gen. GT Sport currently runner up and Hot Wheels expansion for FH3 not far behind.

I think I've got too much Forza fatigue to pick this up at launch but if the DLC packs are anywhere near as great as Blizzard Mountain & Hot Wheels then I'm definitely in for giving it a shot next year, hopefully at a lower price point.

Yeah, that's off-base. It was over ~~350~~ 371 in the base game right at launch, then the car pass from there, and free cars over time as well.

I mean FH4 now, but I might be wrong, so... yeah.

Anyway, if I purchase the Xbox One ultimate version on disc, can I still use the play anywhere feature and play on PC?
Because it's easier to get the physical copy cheaper.

You dont miss out 50% of the content PERIOD.

Alright, I admit I got my numbers wrong.

SmartWaffles said:
The car pass is also pointless in the grand scheme of things because you have hundreds of cars in the base game alone.

As a huge car enthusiast I disagree fully.

Bear · Sep 25, 2018

Better Metacritic than Spiderman. Damn.

Forza Horizon games are incredible. Can't wait for this.

It's a bummer, but no, it's just on the digital version. I ran into something similar last time around. The add-on stuff would come along with you on PC, but you won't have a PC version of the main game.

If you like more cars, then buy the pass, simple deal.

iRacing, R3E, PC, PC2 and AC and ACC beat easily.

Not on consoles.

It sounds like you're not familiar with the setup for Horizon 4, so you might like checking out some streams with how it does everything. Not to put too fine a point on it, but a lot of these reviews cover it nicely. The demo doesn't open up with the social and competitive events, but reactions to the full experience have been excellent.

A bit off-topic, but if you haven't tried the last couple seasons of Forza 7 competitive online (it sounds like that's your jam), you're probably missing out. A lot has changed since even just since release, let alone earlier games.

I mean have they fix there matchmaking, so I can actually get some clean racing. I mean the problem with the series always been people are sirty

Ardiloso · Sep 25, 2018

This is the year we got a racing game as goty.

Devilgunman · Sep 25, 2018

Forza has always been a game that makes me want to buy XB1X but my logical self also keeps telling me that it's not gonna worth it to pay $$$ to play 1 game. Maybe if I can find a cheap 2nd hand somewhere.

Forza Horizon 3 wasn't GOTY and this won't be either. Those are going to God of War and RDR2.

And why would we talk about consoles only in a thread about FH4?

Mr Eric · Sep 25, 2018

GTPlanet made a detailed review of FH4 and seems positively surprised by the new driving physics : https://www.gtplanet.net/forza-horizon-4-review-the-king-comes-home/

Equanimity · Sep 25, 2018

Congrats to the team, it looks amazing.

Shame I can't get into driving games.

Ozgiliath · Sep 25, 2018

GUYS GUYS GUYS!

Literally got goosebumps from this..my god this game, from everything that is coming out i just want this.

Nope. It'll be the best racing game of the year but God of War is GOTY bait.

RecRoulette · Sep 25, 2018

This is what's pushing me to buy an Xbox One again, can't wait

kickz · Sep 25, 2018

If you sign up for Game pass on PC will this be there day 1?

itchi · Sep 25, 2018

At this point Horizon feels bigger than Motorsport, and isn't a knock against that game, but playground managed to create something really special

FH3 was bigger than Motorsport even 2 years ago.

Turn 10 really need to revamp FM because its been getting insanely stale, I can only care about a racing sim for its graphics for so long as the pull. They need an insanely well done career mode for 8 and hopefully they get an extra year with nothing till the launch of the next xbox. 7's career mode was ok, but remove the stupid mod system

honest_ry · Sep 25, 2018

450 cars and I will probably use about 5 of them. Lol.

Spoilt for choice.

This game is just insane.

Is this Halo stuff in the Game Pass version of the game?

Can't remember the last racing game I've played. This will be the first one in a while.

Cyborg · Sep 25, 2018

The series keeps giving. I just cant believe that every entry gets such great reviews. And they release them so fast.

PlayStation has realy issues with producing great racing games (GT follows the same formula decades and it got old) while Forza developers give the Xbox owners amazing titles with each new entery.

As an longtime PS fan kt makes me sad that they take so long to launch a racing game and when they launch it l, its just sub-par.

Congrats Xbox owners

Forza horizon is the 2018 God of war of driving games. It was always going to beat Spider-Man. Spider-Man is still legit awesome though.

That's a new one and simply untrue.

CaptNink · Sep 25, 2018

Damn those scores are crazy!

Truly the Witcher 3 of racing games.

Deleted member 41931 · Sep 25, 2018

Some pretty good reviews. It'ss a shame this is coming so close to other titles I want to play, so I wont be able to play it as much as I want. I guess thats a good problem to have though.

It is a system seller. Nothing comes close for racing and car fans.

Starviper · Sep 25, 2018

Eyeing the Win10 version.. Any discounts out there? Probably need a controller as well.

It's the Dark Souls of Witcher series of racing games!

Diarrhea Day-Lewis · Sep 25, 2018

The only game that makes me regret selling my Xbox. I have to remain strong lol.

Congrats to all the people about to play in the coming weeks

To the people who have played it, how's the performance on base Bone?

TaterTots · Sep 25, 2018

Glad its reviewing well. It's the game I'm most excited for this year.

Sir Guts · Sep 25, 2018

Not sure. For FH3, I bought the DLC once it went on sale.

worked just fine on mine which is surprising considering most other recent games are putting the thing to its knees

looked pretty good too

Might pick this up on PC after these reviews!

Only if you also had Game Pass. Physical versions of base Play Anywhere games only work on the Xbox, you need to have digital license (either stand alone or Game Pass) for it to work on PC as well.

There's no game pass "version", it's the full game. Doesn't include VIP and the car pass obviously, but it's the full $60 game.

Osahi · Sep 25, 2018

Amazing reviews, as expected. I had the Ultimate Edition orderd, but the store just cancelled it because they didn't receive enough stock. Got a 10 euro coupon and can still order the digital version. I'm still contemplating though.
