why did they have to hire an external studio to launch FH4 on Steam?

why didnt the Forza Team do that? :new_moon_with_face:

I think they did series update too, if i remember correctly

6295

Because the Forza Teams have other priorities than porting a 2 year old game.

very obvious reasons tbh lol. The Series X/S ports were also handed to another studio, now the steam version is done with Sumo Digital, they must be balls deep in production of Fable and FH5 to not have time for any of these things that donā€™t require creative input.

Yeah, theyā€™re likely too busy to do any porting themselves and it seems like Sumo are becoming the go to contractor for Xbox considering they also did the next gen enhancements and tried to sort he crackdown mess

Never used Realms as I just assume itā€™s terrible and not worth the money. :smile:

The job listing for ā€˜a new project in the halo universeā€™ is just a position for Infinite afterall.

Well there go all the articles and speculation from this morning

FUCK YEAH! Iā€™m happy with it on Game Pass PC, but I really want to see FH4 live on. It would be super cool if it reaches a wider audience and is online indefinitely, because I adore the map.

its gonna absolutely explode the way SoT and MCC did ever since they hit Steam. Thereā€™s a reason why itā€™s almost a monopoly on PC right now lol, because it has the most people, better services and experience, and not as intrusive and a game coming to it is simply a positive, always. Even Sony couldnā€™t ignore its power with HZD, wouldnā€™t matter that they invested in Epic and launched it on EGS, it had to come to steam as well.

May I ask why? :smiley:

Yakuza 0 is the prequel to the first game and directly ties straight from it to the 1st one.

alright zero

Iā€™m so excited for The Ascent.:slight_smile:

I also think the marketing couldā€™ve been done a bit better too, imo.

0 is what I started with. Kiwami adds references to 0, anyway.
