There's an interesting amount of evidence pointing out to a possible announcement of Forza PC on Wednesday, at GDC 2015 in San Francisco.

My husband loves those games! (It's the only game he plays on our Xbox One)

kaiserfranz3434d ago

It looks like he would have reason to ditch XB1 then if this comes true. I personally hope it does, I don't see myself buying an Xbox One any time soon but I would love to play Forza.

Besides, there's a lot of money to be made on PC with good games and Microsoft wouldn't even have to give a cut to Valve like the other publishers who use Steam.

Crimzon3434d ago

Yeah, I'd buy Forza if it released on Steam, provided Microsoft didn't force any DX12 requirements and restrict it to Windows 10 only. Same goes for Forza horizon as well. They look like genuinely fun racing games and if they put them on PC they'll be seeing money from me :)

ProjectVulcan3434d ago (Edited 3434d ago )

Forza is the one game I would be bothered buying an Xbox One for. I always wanted it on PC, a dream come true so that I wouldn't have to bother with Xbox any more but it seems unlikely.

Microsoft should start up supporting PC again properly with Windows 10 by dishing out some big Microsoft studio titles for the platform. It's a bit of a pipe dream really but hey.

halfblackcanadian3434d ago

@kaisrfranz

I agree that they should release more stuff to PC. It's money left on the table. Not everyone has a gaming rig computer so Xbox will still sell to those who want a simple under-the-TV solution, otherwise those who never intended can still give money to MS

@Crimzon

So you would buy this if it DIDN'T take advantage of the newest available technology? Would you also not complain if it didn't look better than Project Cars? Windows 10 is free, DX12 free with it. Don't say dumb things.

@vulcanproject

Agreed. I like my Xbox so will get it there, but for those who don't feel the desire having it available to PC players makes sense.

Dee_913434d ago

Damn, if this is legit good thing I waited on getting a xboxone.. and my pc budget just went up lol

Forza PC would be nuts....I actually want them to do it.

Alexious3434d ago

I think everyone would want them to do it, except those XB1 fanboys who can't see further than their nose.

We'd have a bigger and happier community playing together.

Dee_913434d ago

Would be epic if it came with multiplayer crossplay.

@Alexious
Yea.. only the fanboys right?Critical thinking on your part bud /s.. Funny I don't even have a xbox one but I don't like the idea of a flagship title going multiplat.

RoKStevonidas3434d ago

I wonder if we will get the Jimmy Fallon E3 Edition or a port of the downgraded mess that was actually released?

Gamer19823434d ago

If it does then they literally only have Halo left as a AAA established exclusive. I can see it happening though with MS slowly moving Xbox over To W10 to save on hardware and the feeling they are evolving to more than just a console.

3434d ago
Kribwalker3434d ago

I would welcome this. With PC cross play, universal apps, and more the XBox One is becoming like a Steam Box, but better, as it has all the console exclusives plus would be cool for them to start porting games over from PC to Xbox with ease with DX12. The future is now with Xbox

kraenk123434d ago

Seriously...The Forza games always were the only reason to ever think about getting an XBox. If this becomes true and I suspect it will I will be such an happy chap.

Zeref3434d ago

Stop lying... You're just saying that cuz there is a possibility of it happening.

But deep down. You know you want Gears,Halo, Quantum Break, Scalebound, Phantom Dust and Fruit Ninja kinect.

Zeref3434d ago

@Crimzon

Why would you not like it if its only on Windows 10? It's a FREE upgrade that's better than Windows 7 and 8.

If its coming to PC its definitely gonna be exclusive to Windows 10 and probably with Xbox One to PC play too.

Little off-topic:

Phil Spencer said that they are seriously looking at the possibility of Xbox One running PC games. Imagine that. If that happens Xbox wins this gen by default.

The Bajillion of exclusive PC games all available on Xbox One.

Forza will not come to PC that has been said already

the_dark_one3434d ago

Xbox one will not be sold without kinect, thats has been said already. See where im going. Not saying it will but.....

RiseofScorpio3434d ago

Don Mattrick said that. When Phil became head it was unbundled immediately.

Imp0ssibl33434d ago

It has been said, yes. It's in the article, they said:

We have no plans of releasing Microsoft Studios Xbox One titles on PC.

That was one year ago. Now they do, they're releasing Fable Legends day and date with crossplay and they're also releasing Xbox Live on Windows 10 basically.
A Turn10 developer is also going to speak in a session about "developing games on W10"....

Not saying it's necessarily true, but I can definitely see it happening.

freshslicepizza3434d ago

i could see it happening, microsoft is wanting to push windows 10 and most money is made off of software and services, not hardware.

the xbox one will always have an audience even if these games come to the pc. want proof? look at the top selling games on consoles, most can be bought on the pc.

Elit3Nick3434d ago

Fable 1 and 3 were on Windows, so therefore it was never an Xbox exclusive series to begin with.

TheNew13434d ago

@moldybread

Push windows 10 and forget about Xbox? And what pushing, windows 10 is already FREE there's not much more pushing you can do.

freshslicepizza3434d ago (Edited 3434d ago )

@TheNew1

how are they forgetting the xbox if forza comes to the pc? that makes no sense at all. windows 10 also works with the xbox so how is that forgetting the xbox one?

microsoft wants you to belong to their ecosystem. windows 10, xbox, xbox live, skype, cloud services. these are all areas they can make money off of consumers and windows 10 is not free for everyone. they are offering a free upgrade for a one year period to those who want to upgrade from windows 7 and 8.1. do you know how many millions still use xp?

elazz3434d ago

With PC gaming on the rise and games selling nearly equal numbers as on a console I guess from a Financial standpoint it would indeed be better to release on PC.

kaiserfranz3434d ago (Edited 3434d ago )

Absolutely, no question about that. And it looks like finally MS is noticing the treasure trove that is the PC gaming market and wants to get a big chunk of it.

LavaLampGoo3434d ago

Sounds promising, but not my favourite series but Burnout seems to be over nowadays

Mostafeto3434d ago

Forza on PC is going to be awesome and I admit Burnout was a great series that turned dead way too soon as it had the potential to become a classic my favorite car games of all time till now are Driveclub and Burnout Paradise

BlackPhillip6663434d ago

Probably another windows 10 deal if it goes threw :/. Im all for games crossing over but as with every new windows release i don't like being held to ransom on games i can and can not play esp when I'm sitting here with a gtx980 on windows 8 :D.

ProjectVulcan3434d ago

All I will say is go and find out how much the Windows 10 upgrade will cost for Windows 7 and 8 users.

You might be pleasantly surprised.

Alexious3434d ago

Yeah, it's going to be free. Which ties into everything as Microsoft wants to dominate utterly with Windows10 and having two killer applications like Fable Legends and a Forza game would go a long way towards convincing gamers that Microsoft is serious about PC once again.

kaiserfranz3434d ago

@ninjamonkey: that means you have to upgrade for free in the first year and then it's yours forever

Utalkin2me3434d ago

Its not totally free, free for the first year. And more then likely will require a yearly subscription fee.

Str8Chaos743434d ago

No, you have a year to upgrade to Windows 10 from 7 or 8 for free. Once you do this it is free for the life of the device.

mcstorm3434d ago (Edited 3434d ago )

@Utalkin2me no there is a time limit where you can upgrade for free. So you have 12 months from when windows 10 comes out to upgrade to it and if you don't upgrade to it within 12 months of it being out you will have to pay for a copy. If you upgrade in the 1st 12 months there is no charge at all.

Top 10 Rarest Cars in Forza History

KeenGamer: "See the top 10 rarest cars to ever appear in Forza history! Thousands of cars have been featured in Forza since launch and only a handful of them have been really difficult to obtain or, in current state, impossible to drive around with. Although they were once obtainable, it's only for a limited time and, most times, for a certain price."

I thought this was going to be about the rarest and most valuable cars in the game, based on real life manufacture numbers and value.

Would love to see a PC port of this game Forza 3 and 4 are just gorgeous on XBOX but Jaw dropping on PC.

ilikestuff1760d ago (Edited 1760d ago )

I remember when gran turismo was the driving sim king, I miss those days, I played the crap out of gt1, took me forever to get enough credits to get that viper, gt2 brought those muscle cars! Gt3 was a banger, gt4 was the downfall in my opinion, it was like they half assed the game, I think at one point they scanned a model car and used the bottom of it for the bottom of a car on their game. They gave up the crown and dont seem to care. Man though, gt1,2, and 3 were great.

sizeofyou1760d ago

Seriously even comparing FH to GT? 🤔

sampsonon1760d ago

not like DC does. they were 10 yrs ahead of their time.
https://youtu.be/pBEip6goHb...

but FH2 was pretty good as well.

ilikestuff1760d ago

Awesome video, those weather effects are nuts. I know that game didn’t start off to good but they should’ve gave them one more chance before they got shit down. Loved motorstorm

sampsonon1760d ago

i made sure i bought it before they de listed it from the ps store. those graphics are still one of the best this gen. and the best when it comes to realism. it looks soo real sometimes.

ramiuk11760d ago

i was blown away by driveclub ,infact still am tbh...
the rain !!!!!!!!!

porkChop1760d ago

DriveClub had some really impressive weather effects. It's a shame they didn't get another shot.

spicelicka1760d ago

Graphically that's true DC is the best looking racing game ever, but the article isn't talking about graphics only. Game design and gameplay in FH2 was miles ahead and has consistently improved with each iteration.

sampsonon1760d ago

they are saying it still holds up. to me that's a graphical thing. but if they think the open world car games are is the thing that makes a racing game hold up then The Crew is the winner.

in 10 yrs you can show DC and people will still think it's one of the best looking games.

but i get your point.

xRacer74x1760d ago

Just think if DC did not have prerendered backgrounds and the narrowest roads of any game i had played in a long time and it felt like it was on rails. DC was subpar and it cost the studio their jobs.

sampsonon1760d ago (Edited 1760d ago )

first of all the studio was shut down because of the launch of the game and all the free dlc they had to give away because of it. not the game itself.
pre-rendered backgrounds? lol thanks i needed that laugh.

"Just think if DC did not have prerendered backgrounds and the narrowest roads of any game i had played in a long time and it felt like it was on rails."

that's called a racetrack dumb dumb :)

FH2 had some of the worst graphics in a racer so of course you could have an open world. too bad the crew did a better job than FH2 and still does when it comes to open world racing.

xRacer74x1760d ago (Edited 1760d ago )

@sampsonon Except Genius(Intended Irony) not all the tracks were race tracks. And No feeling like the game is on rails does not mean its a race track either. DC was a subpar racing game. I really enjoyed the invisible barriers when you drove on the burm too. Forza was such a better game but that does not need to be said its why the studio is still making games and the other was FIRED. I get it though its not like on the PS4 their is a great arcade first party racing game. So you do not know any better.

sampsonon1760d ago (Edited 1760d ago )

@xRacer74x they were race tracks, just not off road tracks.
sub par my ass. Like i said sony only disbanded the company because of the bad launch. they also have GT so they could afford to close the company.

FH2 looked like shit and still does compared to the superior graphocs of DC. even 3 looks shit compared to DC.
One game was using tracks and the other was an open world. one looked way better and the other one allowed you to "REWIND" HAHA! when you race = garbage.

Forza Horizon is a fun game, don't get me wrong. but it was lacking in so many places compared to DC.
https://youtu.be/aa6qZ2pny6...

spicelicka1760d ago

I don't think simply being open world makes a game hold up, there were plenty of things FH2 did so well. IMO it did many things better than the Crew, which is why it's rated so much higher as well. Better graphics than the crew, the multiplayer was amazing with FM drivatar tech, and the handling of car just feels better than any arcade racer given the variety. The soundtrack is still my favourite.

Imortus_san1760d ago

LMAO, all the people that add no internet sucked balls since the phisical edition did not had those effects.

Forza Horizon 2 metacritic = 86 user 83

Drive Club metacritic = 71 user = 63

There is no real comparation, Drive CLub floped and the company went down while Forza Horizon 2 triumphed.

* I've still yet to beat the game and haven't bought FH3 or FH4 because I still have stuff to do in FH2....I just haven't played in a while. It's an awesome game and yes it still is just as good now as when it originally released.
