Best looking racing game by far

lxeasy2069d ago

This will most likely be Playing ground games best Forza Horizon game from what I've seen

sampsonon2069d ago (Edited 2069d ago )

that all depends on what you're looking for.
a racer, FH4, that looks like a video game, or a racer that looks photo realistic https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Kiwi662068d ago (Edited 2068d ago )

Are you really that insecure about praise being put on Forza Horizon 4 ?

AngainorG7X2068d ago

Lol, you mean that corridor racing game which is struggling to hit 1080/30? With that performance no wonder they achieved nice weather effects. Problem is im not buying a racing game just to admire weather effects.

sampsonon2068d ago (Edited 2068d ago )

@AngainorG7X
reality hurts i know :) cartoon graphics vs photo realism https://youtu.be/rehixq5oms...
but hey, they're just games.

and i am not insecure. i just noticed that people are lying to themselves when they think FH4 is the best looking racer ever.

i say not yet https://youtu.be/rehixq5oms...

not the drive club stuff again this game took some time to be the game it is now. Horizon games have been great out of the gate

Firstly, Driveclub never failed to meet a solid 1080/30 in SP. And after huge server update MP worked as well.
The game has remained unchallenged in the looks department up to this point.
While I can't stand FH series, feel like I should just play driving missions in GTAV or Watchdogs 2 to get the same arcade "barn storming" feel. I do feel by the time the new Forza rolls around it will have toppled DC as far as graphics go. Again fidelity (4K) vs actual Graphics are two entirely different things. DC always gave me the feeling I was gonna die around the next turn that feeling is well worth rating DC as one of the best racing games I have ever played. It is most definitely true that the launch of DC was terrible lacking features/cars/tracks/modes/and a shaky server. But after a server update and all the updates, DC went on to be one amazing racer. Not an arcade nor a sim but a hybrid of the two. A late to the finish jewel in the crown of racing games on the PS4 or any system. I've played a many of racing games, I just love DC.

Kingoftherodeo2068d ago

don't forget one of them is an open world racing game

DrumBeat2069d ago

If I were only a racing fan. I'm not, but I can definitely respect this for what it is. Looks like it's really going to please fans.

capjacksparrow2069d ago

If I were into racing games still, these games would give me a reason to buy an Xbox. How do the mechanics work exactly, is it kind of open world like Burnout Paradise?

Anyway, these devs have done a great job with the visuals. I'm always impressed by the attention to detail the Forza, GT, and F1 games have. I don't know how they do it, when I was getting my game design degree, I was bored to tears trying to create a damned Toyota! Kudos, hopefully they find success with FH4!

Kribwalker2068d ago

it’s fully open world like paradise with seemless multiplayer ability. It’s got 72 player servers that you could just pull up and challenge anyone. It’s got co-op, infected (tag) kind of game modes, some kinda crazy taxi type mode as well, drift modes, and just straight circuit or drag races too. They’re pretty amazing games.

And the beauty of it is if you don’t wanna play online you don’t have to. The whole game can be played and saved offline and you can just jump right back online at any time

capjacksparrow2067d ago (Edited 2067d ago )

That sounds like how they described Fallout 76, but with cars. Interesting! Except that you can't play offline with FO lol.

PC Games That Are Better With A Controller

Here are some great PC games that are even better with a controller. In fact, one can say that they're meant to be played with a controller.

That's why I don't mess with PC gaming for the most part. When I game I'm relaxing. Hard to do that with a keyboard and mouse. That's just my thought on it.

I'm still hoping bethesada adds real controller support to the og fallout or re release them on xbox like what was done with wasteland 1

What exactly is so hard about using a keyboard and mouse compared to a controller when subjectively relaxing? Do you game upside down on a crossbar?

Daeloki238d ago

At least in my opinion, with a controller I can lay back comfortably in my couch however I want. Keyboard + mouse would require a table and chair, and requires investing in ergonomics not to completely mess up my back (not saying the couch is good for my back either but achieving comfortability is easier). Again, emphasizing that I'm speaking out of opinion, and I agree with you that concepts of relaxing and which is better are both very subjective matters. All in all I don't think it's a particularly good article since it really boils down to personal preference.

We Should Care More About Xbox Stealing Forza Back After Its Own Pricing Errors

A pricing error saw players briefly get Forza Horizon 4 and 5 cheaply, but Xbox taking the game back over a week later is a dangerous precedent.

lodossrage518d ago

People should be upset about this. I don't care if people bought those 2 Forza games on the cheap. Microsoft made the pricing error for those moments, not the customers. And why wait a full week to finally "decide" to take the games back?

Everyone had a fit when Konami forced Sony to take away P.T. from people's psn accounts. That was FREE and people had a fit. But these Forza games people PAID for and not a peep? That is nonsense.

This is almost as bad as Overwatch 1, a game people paid for deliberately being made to not work anymore for Overwatch 2, even though people PAID for Overwatch 1.

For all the cheerleaders that want a digital only gaming future, this is the start of the reality you want.

isarai518d ago

That all digital future people push for. Now people are starting to see why the "haters" argued against it.

lodossrage518d ago

Yeah, they're always "haters" until they find things they bought are suddenly gone or not working.

Sadly, that's a lot of people; who cares "as long as it's not me" scenario is common.

EvertonFC517d ago

Tbh a disk ain't gonna work either in the future with about 70mb of the games on the disk ?

ApexWolf22517d ago

Too bad the full game usually isn’t on the disk anymore. That was my main push towards all digital gaming. And since prices typically suck I just wait on sales and grab only 1-2 games day 1 annually anymore.

isarai517d ago

@EveetonFC & ApexWolf22

You two should really play something other than AAA games. Just bought evil west, great game, works perfectly out the box. Played it for about 6hrs before i let the update install by restarting it at the end of my session. Get away from the Ubisoft/EA/Activision games and most of them just work out the box.

Petebloodyonion518d ago

Totally agree with you, It is scummy tactics that MS should be called on.
If the game was sold at a cheap price by mistake then fix the price and let the ppl who paid t keep their games.
It's not like millions of ppl used that deal and the negative press will be far more expensive and damaging versus the saving.
Again PPLs are right to be pissed!

SullysCigar517d ago

Yep. You're bang on regarding reputational risk.

Lightning77517d ago

Aren't these games on GP though? Regardless this isn't a good look on MS. The all digital future has been slowly exposing itself for awhile now. They should of let ppl keep those games.

frostypants517d ago (Edited 517d ago )

It's not merely "scummy tactics". It's literal theft from those who bought it. It's freaking mass felony by MS.

1Victor517d ago

@lodos the truth is they’re not upset about it their mentality is “ I don’t care soon we will have tons of free games after the purchase goes through “

EvertonFC517d ago

Free? think you need to rethink that.

SullysCigar518d ago

You made a mistake, Microsoft. Own it. Not cool.

SoulWarrior518d ago (Edited 518d ago )

Imagine the 'great concern' and aNtIcOnSuMeR comments from the usual suspects if Sony did this lol.

Petebloodyonion518d ago

Are ppl praising Microsoft here?
Bad practices need to be called no matter the company.

BehindTheRows517d ago

Right. And there’d be quite a few articles about it. We’ll see how this plays out though.

Lightning77517d ago

The only real backlash MS got was when they raised the price of Live. They had small time backlash when certain DRM aspects were still present. (which they finally resolved ) I doubt this will hit main stream gaming media tbh.

TicklefistCP517d ago

If Sony did this people would carry on as if they're on Jim Ryan's payroll and explain how its a good thing.

lodossrage517d ago

Really?

Because I remember how everyone came down on Sony when they took P.T. away from people at the request of Konami. A FREE demo.

Flawlessmic518d ago

This is the first I'm hearing of this, if true and people paid regardless of price then this is utterly disgusting.

Ms stuffed up that's there problem, not a peep from any media about this either, what a surprise.

ocelot07517d ago

100% and I have the purchase receipt and refund email to prove it. This proves that digital only gives the likes of Microsoft and Sony way to much power.

If they can take a game off a refund you like this. Then what happens if for say the next Forza comes out people pay £60 for it rather than rent it on gamepass. Then a few months later they revoke the licence and refund you and say well we raised the price to £80 now so if you want it again pay the £80.

shinoff2183517d ago

Sony isn't the one pushing the all digital future like that. Sony allows games to be press physically still. As low as I've seen 800 copies. While ms has a minimum of 75000. That's crazy. Ms is also the one that had to revise the Xbox one cause they were on some crazy sh. Look it up

Rynxie517d ago

I heard Warner Bros and other studios are removing your digital copy from other sources and making you repurchase it on their platform. You'll rent and own nothing will be strong on digital services.

cableguyariel518d ago

Well I think I will cancel my Game pass subscription so they might have saved £79.99 but will lose £131.88 a year due to this poor error on their behalf.

KillBill517d ago

Person talking about cancelling Game Pass after supposedly purchasing a game that is FREE on Game Pass... and all because of the money. lol
