Agree, I've got it on PC already, but its good to see it hit steam as well.Ahhh yeah baby, big props to PG on their success! Hope this convinces T10 and PG to continue releasing Forza not only on Xbox and PC, but also on Steam for everyone to play. 👍
I can see the future being bright for the franchise after this decision.
Indeed! 👍Agree, I've got it on PC already, but its good to see it hit steam as well.
In the past (though probably still be revered for now), huge number of content was an acclaimed thing in racing games, such as GT's huge number of cars, and it's one of the GT's appeal (or probably because of the amount of everyday cars GT lets you play). But, GT being GT, while being made more accessible as it's not a hardcore sim, it still wouldn't sit well with just everyone in gaming (who wants pure fun like arcades), as it being one of the more realistic between non-hardcore sim still makes players bored or too difficult (for those too lazy to learn) to go through GT, likely realizing that the amount of content of cars isn't what defines a game, but about how fun it is to play. Similar to GT Forza Motorsport is also a case of that, though lesser, with Horizon overshadowing it.I'll be honest i find FH4's success a bit bemusing. I'm absolutely not doubting the many things it does brilliantly but as someone that loved FH3, the newest one felt like a hollow shell. The small amount of story from FH3 in the unlocking & building up of festivals gave a great feeling of progression & overall motivation when playing. That was nowhere in FH4 & along with other changes to make the game overall much easier with race results meaning virtually nothing, showcases unlocking extremely quickly, rewards ever-ending & with no real end game, i just found myself bored with it & struggling to see a point in playing it.

Now I wonder what I did more than 1000 hours there It's normal sandbox gameplay, you do the fun.I'll be honest i find FH4's success a bit bemusing.

Interesting you say this, because that's the same game where I officially moved on from the GT series back in 2015. Since then, I haven't looked back. Forza can really spoil you with all the cars it gets on a regular basis.I remember the FH2 trailer, as soon as I saw it, i knew FH would be the most popular car game, more than GT today. Fun gameplay, amazing graphics and a huge car list.
Popularity-wise, it was NFS who took the cake, not GT.I remember the FH2 trailer, as soon as I saw it, i knew FH would be the most popular car game, more than GT today. Fun gameplay, amazing graphics and a huge car list.
You can't simply "add" it to some games; it's something that needs to have been considered from the start because of the knock-on effects for pretty much everything else in the game.Still, I find it strange that T10, with all their resources and now, so many players using FH4 on PC, have not yet added VR support.
Where would VR be more fun than in an open world full of fancy cars racing/driving game?
Xbox one owner since 2013 for only one game : Forza. FH2 is my greatest next gen experience on xb1. I have the ultimate edition of FH4 and I can't believe these graphics from a 2013 hardware. I'm amazed by the physics : mud, water, sand, snow, trees, stones... GTsport looks so dry, boring compared to this game, the stiff camera view in 2021 is just a non sense for example.Interesting you say this, because that's the same game where I officially moved on from the GT series back in 2015.

I highly recommend you check out FH4. Big open world, diverse car list that continues to grow, and LOTS of modes and features to look at. 👍

And Xbox doesn't have any VR.
GT is about photorealism. Forza may have ''more'' graphics than GT Sport, but the artistic direction of GTS is what gives the game that natural/photorealistic feeling/look. If you know about photography and compare GTS to Forza, you know about it.Xbox one owner since 2013 for only one game : Forza. FH2 is my greatest next gen experience on xb1.

Am I missing something?
