Horizon has been a system seller for a while, people just say it’s a racing game yet FH4 hit 24 million players.

I can’t put the game down, it looks good, it feels good and it’s fun. I was happy enough to spend $60 AUD for the premium add on even though I could play for free but those expansions and other goodies are worth it,

I am enjoying it, it was worth travelling to New Zealand for the day (drops mic)…

How to get quickly to the club’s?

Well goddammit. Here I was thinking that we could play the game today through Game Pass but nope! Only people who bought the premium edition.

Oh well. Looks like I’m waiting a few more days :sweat_smile::rofl::sweat::cry:

Performance, always 60fps. Always!

To me it seems the sunlight is more like in FH3 and less ‘cold’ as in FH4. Recording all the mexican sky in HDR payed off.

But the HDR menu is one of the worst i have ever seen. These sliders are not explained and make no sense.

How are y’all liking the map? Saw some mixed reactions on it on a Dutch tech forum in the Xbox thread. Someone said the setting isn’t all that for him. A cultivated piece of land here, a jungle path there. He finds it rather arid and colourless during daytime.

Also that the pop in with performance mode is way too agressive, out of the blue a tree popped up and he also said there don’t seem to be a lot of bot cars at all, so the map really felt empty to him.

This would surprise me, the E3 reveal looked to be the opposite of arid, colourless and empty to me.

I’ve already put in 9 hours, crazy I know haha. I love the map it is already so much better than FH4 which got boring real fast.

Some places you can notice it but you also notice it a lot more when watching gameplay over actually playing the game, it’s not that annoying and I don’t think I can say I’ve ever had a tree pop up in front of me, maybe a small bush but trees usually just fade in better quality LODs when you get closer.

With the map being empty, I have always seen a bunch of people but obviously the servers won’t be maxed out as the game is only out to those who have bought the $150aud special edition and the $65aud add on pass.

Yeah I think a bit of BS is going on there. I need to start taking some screenshots heh.

I’ve been playing mostly on Series S and it looks pretty nice to me.

Yep. Enjoyed my 18 hour round trip to New Zealand.

The game is amazing. I love the Accolade system and the Expeditions. They definitely add more structure to the game in the early hours.

Their car packs and expansions are always great. Nothing about weakness. This bundle is an even better deal than past Forza Horzions where the Ultimate edition didn’t include all expansions (looking at you FH 2 and 3).
