Forza Horizon 4

i enjoyed FH1 on the xbox 360.... i havent played any since because i stopped buying racing games without VR.

i am going to try this one however as like you say, the setting, as well as i have not played that kind of racer in a long time now.

Its great to have a game just to be able to pull the controller out and have some fun instead of having to setup the full sim rig. Mindless fun.
I was hopeing Forza Motorsport would do that but it got unistalled and charged back in 15 minutes as its pure trash.

I didn't think there was that great a difference between Forza 4 and 5

I got 4 today because of fomo, and actually I prefer it so far. Prefer the terrain and I think the graphics are slightly better in the scenery, cars are pretty much the same.

I got the ultimate so I've got all the content
 
is anyone playing this on a wheel? this is my 1st forza game since horizon 1 on the xbox 360, however all forza game i have played inc horizon on the xbox had superb wheel support.

my fanatec GT2 does work on horizon 4 in that it steers and accelerates etc, however the force feedback is truly horrible, so much so it pulls me all over the place. it is harder to drive in forza horizon 4 on my wheel than it is in real life!.

the game has potential (albeit i wont lie i do not like the "cool" / "trendy" vibe it has but that is likely my age, i would prefer a sensible greasemonkey / dirty overalls type vibe but then that was never going to happen, just like in the Dirt racing games etc.

but that aside, the game seems ok despite feeling like tony hawks pro skater does driving fluff... but i do need to be able to drive in it!.

I agree on the trendy teenage edgy festival vibe. That's my only sore point with the series in general.

I tried FH5 Briefly and really couldn't stand that stuff.

I'm tempted to get 4 for the Deck as on handheld it would fit in nicely with something on the TV, that I could ignore all that stuff

4 is better than 5 in terms of that teenage edgy festival vibe IMO. 5 takes it to a higher level.

Hoping they tone it down a bit for 6 make it bit more gritty and less fluffy unicorn
 
I could never play Forza Horizon 5 very long. I found the characters and vibe to just be horrific. Maybe there is a good game in there, but the fact it just forgets about progression and gives you so much to start, and then I had to listen to the nonsense... Unplayable.

I'm still thinking about getting 4, but if the cringe is even close to 5 then I needn't. I played 3 which was tolerable.

The ultimate edition is currently around £16 on Steam, is it worth grabbing at that price or is it likely to drop even further as it gets closer to being delisted?

I wouldn't expect it to drop more on Steam. You might be able to get a key for the Microsoft Store version cheaper somewhere else, although maybe not now since a game being delisted usually causes prices to go up.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if they'd reduce it just to get as many sales as possible before it goes.

I'll just grab it, I played the original Horizon on the Xbox and enjoyed it so worth the current cost, I'm just being a cheapskate :rolleyes:

bigmike20vt's cringe report above sufficiently put me off buying this. Was wavering with some FOMO effect going on since it is being de-listed, but after watching some youtube videos and seeing how juvenile and cringe inducing it appears to be I am able to overcome the FOMO just about, and £17 quid is just about my limit for "*** it, get in anyway", if I have to be dealing with cringe. I have so many other unplayed driving games as it is.

It always comes across like the Devs are older, but think this is what "the kids" will like. I also never liked the constant DLC advertising in game but I guess if you buy the full set, that's done away with

4 is significantly better than 5 in terms of cringeness.

There also seems.to be less of an expanse. I've not managed to play much if it so far, but 5 just chucks everything at you within the 1st hour and over whelms you, then it keeps forcing new seasons on you and half of it doesn't make sense.

So far the 1st hour of 4 hasn't been like that ...

Don't tell anyone but I actually did just go **** it and bought it.

Kids liked it a lot though. I saw there were quite a lot of Youtube channels had gained large followings through FH4.

I caved and bought it. Just wanted an arcade racer for the Legion Go. I'd considered The Crew Motorfest but it's impossible to buy a Ubisoft game and feel good about what you've done, so it was off the table.

Fair

Tbh between the crew and horizon, I feel horizon is the way to go. I think I'll grab it too, as I want an arcade racer on Deck and will just ignore all the BS surrounding an otherwise great racer
