I was searching boards.ie for a Forza Horison 4 thread, is there one seen as the game is to be released next week ?
Has anyone pre ordered the Ultimate Edition ?

I just went for the standard edition. Just a week or so to go before I pick it up.

Isn't it free with game pass?
Which edition are they giving free?

Is the game pass only each version of the game ?

Mickeroo

Game pass is generally the base game without any dlc.

marcbrophy

I might buy the season pass, seeing as I'll have the base game for free then

Icyseanfitz

is game pass worth it on windows?

Remember getting the last games ultimate edition wrongly assuming I'd have the season pass content turned out it was just a tonne of cars I'd never use. Not nearly worth the extra money. This time though it does say it includes two game expansions when they become available as well as all the car packs etc.

Shows only 13 of the games as being play anywhere at the minute. https://www.xbox.com/en-IE/xbox-game-pass/games filter for play anywhere.

I think you should get 10% off the season pass if you have game pass too.

What's the release date? Signed up to gamepass for 3 months the last time they had a deal on & it's expired in a few weeks. Huge Horizon fan & looking forward to it.

I am a massive fan too, I can’t wait

glenfieldman

I’m wondering would it be a good idea to buy a Xbox steering wheel, as I was pure ****e at drifting using the pad ?

I'll have to renew my subscription so. Hooked on Horizon 2 atm, preferred it to 3.

Drifting is the one thing that has stopped me from 100%ing the 3 Horizon games so far! I absolutely suck at it!

Wonder would a wheel make any difference?

correction

Haven't played too many driving games in recent years but was having a look at getting this. I'm only interested in pure races and hopefully a career mode where you win competitions and can slowly get better cars etc. Have never played a Horizon game and wanted to ask if that's the kind of thing it is? I've no interest in drifting or online racing.

Same here, couldn't get my head around it. Never gelled with me and it's something I could do ok in other driving games

Yeah me too!
I'm usually fine with it in any other games, but my brain just won't accept the controls that Playground use haha :pac:

Think I might be jumping on this early, even on the grey market sellers the one before last is still around €20 and I've been sat waiting for 3 to drop for over a year. I've not been hugely pushed, but a racer would be nice to have and I would prefer open world yet The Crew 2's vehicle changing gimmick while great for a rented game etc I feel would wear old pretty quick.

Big fan of the series, reviews are looking great - can't wait to get stuck into this now.

Busy few months for big releases, Gamepass is a godsend for my wallet!

will this be available on gamepass for windows 10? be worth the £8 for the month to play it

Should be. Have you used your free trial yet? If you haven't you should get an extra month free for enabling auto renew at the start.

Disable it straight after and you will have the game for free for a month and a half straight off the bat or two months if you have a one month free trial code.

You're some gem! Never bothered setting it up on my PC so over the weekend might be time to do it.

I downloaded demo last night.

It looks great on xbox one x with 60fps mide. Its only 1080p, but still looks very impressive on 4k tv.

Then I downloaded demo on pc and hooked it up to my g29. Its actually playable out of box with steering wheel.
Its runs very damn well on my elderly pc. Its 2500k 8gb ram and 1060. On 2560x1440. Very very optimised game. One thing that really annoyed me, that I could not find a way to put it on 3440x1440 on my widescreen monitor.

All in all, I like it. Will get 6 months game pass and vip pass, instead of buying it fully.

FAILSAFE 00

Can the "Best of Bond Car Pack" be bought separately or is just in the ultimate edition?

Mickeroo

I have a code for a month free of gamepass if anyone wants it. It'll only work if you haven't subsrcribed before I think.

If there's a few people looking for it just thank this post and I'll pull the name out of a hat over the weekend.

PSA: Forza Rewards

FH4 is now added, 200k credits every week

ABitofsense

I downloaded the game last week but my data is gone (crappy dongle & living in the sticks!!!). Is there a patch today for it? Will i need internet access to start it?
I have the ultimate addition so want to start into this after work.

Picked up my copy on Friday. Played about 13 hours of it so far and really enjoying it

Temporarily change your region to New Zealand on Xbox and you can play it now on game pass

MiskyBoyy

Just received an update, 541MB I believe it was.

ShadowHearth

Set it to download, but it only got 15gb while I was playing. So was not able to try out full version. Got myself vip car pass though. Will do for now.

Just a question to you lads. I played normal Forza games and only played a bit of FH3. I got a bit confused on how structure of races works, because I am used to have events in which it asks me to use specific class or car or manufacturers. In horizon I can roll up in any car I want to new event and it will adjust it for me?
Not sure if I like that idea much.

EPAndlee

I done a lot of races so far, done all the road racing exhibitions with the same car and dirt racing exhibitions with the same car but when I was doing all the cross country races the classes keep changing from off road,off road buggies, sports utility etc. You can always make your own blueprint anyway. I hit level 50 in it last night seems a bit easier to make money in it with the super wheelspins . The only problem I have with the game is the wheelspins been full of clothes and emotes

marcbrophy

Addons bought for the game are "Play Anywhere" too, right?

I.e. I have the game through game pass, but if I buy the season pass, I'd have it on both Xbox and Windows?

Jerichoholic

Been playing a bit of this too, dave7g is my gamertag if anyone wants to add me.

Correct.

ShadowHearth

Okay, finally gave this a proper go today. All I can say: I am loving it.

Really did not enjoyed any other Horizon games, but this one is just great. I cant believe how much better game structure in this one is. I was very sceptical of whole season thing, but god, they pulled it off. Each season is aweome in its own way and how they cycle them is really well done.

So far Alfa guilia is my favorite car. Just feels so good on the road. Pretty much all my races where I could, I used it.

Must have done about 60 races in the RS Focus so far

Very enjoyable so far, I'm finding the variation in activities much more pleasing than say Horizon 3

ShadowHearth

Well, I really liking it. Most played horizon game now.
Finally did the first year and opened whole game. A lot of stuff to do and with hundred people roaming around makes game world so alive.
Tried out that team adventure mode and it is some crack. For the first time I finally played racing game online. Two teams battleing in rounds is actually some crack.

I presume no boardsies club around?
