Insane Forza Horizon 4 Photo Gallery That Will Make Xbox Fans Proud

Pennyworth Reviews Blog writes: "Forza Horizon 4 is out, doing great and looking oh so good. Thing is that even though the almighty big and powerful Xbox One X is out there, FH4 is very happy to show everyone that the standard Xbox One still has a lot of love to give."

Hot damn I'm loving playing this game. Photo mode is taking up like nearly half my play time though...

lxeasy2038d ago

There is no racing game on the market right now that looks or plays better than this one.

Kribwalker2038d ago

agreed. and the sheer amount of things to do that keep popping up is crazy. I’ve never seen so much variety in a racing game before. The games gonna keep me hooked for a while

tinchotin2037d ago

That's relative. To me racing simulators play leagues better than this fantasy arcade game.

Gunstar752037d ago

@tinchotin your fanboy is showing. Move along

DarXyde2037d ago

Gunstar75,

Tinchotin is responding to lxeasy's claim that no racer looks or plays better. Clearly, they disagree. And let's be honest: why WOULDN'T a driving simulator play better? We can debate visuals, but I really don't care. Forza Horizon 4 looks great and that's good enough for me (it should be for everyone else, too). But you're going to tell me that this game plays better than a game like Assetto Corsa?

I respectfully disagree.

gravedigger2037d ago (Edited 2037d ago )

You can't compare arcade racers and simulators.

"There is no arcade racing game ...." this sounds better

Such a good looking game

Digital foundry
Playground Games' work on the Horizon series has improved with each release, and the UK location with impressive seasonal support gives the studio an effective showcase for their many technological upgrades. The last two years have been spent tailoring a beautiful, sometimes fantastical driving game that aims to surprise. Technically, it's a marvel to both look at and to play, and the end result is a gem in the Xbox One X lineup that deserves your attention.

Kumakai2037d ago

I've been playing it on the One X and it is freaking gorgeous. Theres something to be said seeing it run in realtime in 4k HDR firsthand. so good.

mark_parch2037d ago

I've been playing in 60fps on the xbox one x. it's a much better experience even though it's not native 4k

mcstorm2037d ago

I agree. I thought 30 fps was fine but after playing 60fps I won't go back what a difference it makes to the game.

@ sampsonon

No really, stop. I thought thiss silly Drive Club thing was out of everyone's system (pun intended) by now...

sampsonon2037d ago (Edited 2037d ago )

@TheCommentator: silly? really? lol

https://youtu.be/LSfof7S9eC...

all I'm doing is bringing reality to this nonsense that FH4 is the best looking racer ever, it's not.

you can never take away the fact that it's been 4 years and Evolution Studios made the best looking racer this gen.

Driveclub .................. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Thanks for the laughs.

sampsonon2037d ago (Edited 2037d ago )

no problem https://youtu.be/LSfof7S9eC... but I'm sure you will stop watching soon after clicking because it will ruin the illusion that FH4 looks better.

keep laughing, because that's what I've been doing when reading these articles.

playnice2037d ago

seriously even if Driveclub was a nice looking game too (and to be fair it came out a few years ago) it wasn't an open world and damn Forza Horizon 4 is a wayyyy better game

Kiwi662037d ago

Getting desperate when you have to compare a closed circuit racer to an open world one

Weeblordbad2037d ago

He's so transparent it hurts.

sampsonon2037d ago

People are saying that FH4 is the best looking racer ever, not it's the best looking open world racer ever. i say no. sorry, but it won't be until next gen that Forza will look better than DC. sorry

Weeblordbad2037d ago

One is open world, the other is not. Use your brain.

sampsonon2037d ago

excuses. people and articles are saying "best looking racer ever" not ' best looking open world racer" so yeah. I've come to correct this argument with photos of the real "best looking racer ever. look at the video and tell me I'm wrong.

AngainorG7X2037d ago

I want a racing game, not a fancy corridor weather tech demo, but thanks

sampsonon2037d ago (Edited 2037d ago )

that's not a real racing game, it's an open world full of people that couldn't race if their life depended on it, joy ride. nothing wrong with that.
DC wasn't a real racer either but this isn't the argument is it? no, people are saying that FH4 is the best looking "racer" ever and i am showing a game from 4 years ago that still looks better. not only that but it's dynamic weather and time of day, lighting " is still unsurpassed by any racer. facts

ArmrdChaos2037d ago

I guess some people can't comprehend the difference between fact and opinion.....not surprising....and that would be a fact.

Computersaysno2037d ago (Edited 2037d ago )

Compare in game shots and not bullshots.

Driveclub looks like this in game: https://ibb.co/kB9pNp

Horizon 4 looks like this in game: https://ibb.co/nuNtgL

No contest. Everything is way smoother and more detailed on Horizon 4. Just look at the big jagged edges around the car's number plate or rear spoiler on Driveclub. The 'RS5' logo and tail lights are so much crisper on Horizon 4 as well. That is just the car model.

Also note the top right of the Horizon 4 shot....locked 60FPS versus 30 for Driveclub.

Horizon 4 has significantly surpassed Driveclub and it's open world too. That's just what more powerful hardware and newer software gets you.

AngainorG7X2037d ago

Dude you keep ignoring the fact that DC is a 30fps corridor game and the other is a native 4K/30 open world racer with a 60 fps mode. Do you even know the basics on game development or what? And STILL after all that DC does NOT look better. The ONLY thing that is better in DC is the weather. Nothing else. Sorry mate.

Looks great, why is this the only spectacular over the top exclusive 1st party game on the X? Such a missed opportunity. Hopefully MS can release some bangers next year. Theres what... CD3, Last Night, Gears of War 5, Ori, Ashen, Session, Cup Head dlc, SOT dlc, and maybe another Forza... im sure im missing some other stuff. Even if only half of these release 2019 will look better than 2017 and 2018 combined. However, i dont see Halo launching until fall 2020 at the earliest. Hopefully 2019 is the start of the end of drought years...

Jinger2037d ago

Actually its been confirmed no Forza next year, but honestly Ori 2, Ashen and Gears 5 I'm excited for for sure.

mark_parch2037d ago

even though I don't like sea of thieves, it looks incredible.
I'm also really excited for ashen, ori will of the wisp and gears 5.
who knows crackdown 3 could end up being really fun, it's on gamepass so i'll definitely be giving it a go.
ashen is supposed to release this year so I'm guessing we will get a December release date at XO18

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.

shinoff2183259d ago

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

Shiore2u257d ago (Edited 257d ago )

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?

Daeloki257d 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.

Read Full Story >>
thegamer.com
lodossrage537d 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.

isarai537d ago

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

lodossrage537d 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.

EvertonFC536d ago

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

ApexWolf22536d 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.

isarai536d 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.

Petebloodyonion536d 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!

SullysCigar536d ago

Yep. You're bang on regarding reputational risk.

Lightning77536d 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.

frostypants536d ago (Edited 536d ago )

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

1Victor536d 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 “

EvertonFC536d ago

Free? think you need to rethink that.

SullysCigar537d ago

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

SoulWarrior536d ago (Edited 536d ago )

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

Petebloodyonion536d ago

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

BehindTheRows536d ago

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

Lightning77536d 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.

TicklefistCP536d 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.

lodossrage536d 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.

Flawlessmic536d 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.

ocelot07536d 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.

shinoff2183536d 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

Rynxie536d 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.

cableguyariel536d 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.

KillBill535d 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
