I have a work scheme (Edenred) that lets me buy store giftcards cheap.......then I use those store giftcards to buy Microsoft credit when they are cheap - kinda double discount!

Make sure you order the cross-gen version else you wont get the upgrade.

Can't believe I have to pay extra for the next gen stuff

Are they still charging £10 whether it’s delivery or collection from a store?? I remember quite a few people kicking off about it but never heard anything about Game saying anything about it.
It’s those sort of shady practices that make me stay far away from them. If anything I’ll just take my Xbox one x for a trade in depending on the price. But I refuse to give them a single penny from my wallet and I’ll probably be waiting awhile to get my series x as I won’t be getting it through them.

The tenner came off the balance when I paid in full. It's just a pre-order placeholder thing. with trade in, the x has cost £217, very happy with that.

Damn...

Sounds like it'll be the best version to play frankly. The PC version is problematic, even to get it launching!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Sounds great, it’ll be one of my first titles on the XSX.

 

[crazy8s]

Never had any issues with FH4 on PC. Wonder if they'll disclose specs like that for all XSX titles?

Is Forza Horizon more like GT in that you can get a cruddy car and build it up/tune it into a monster?

Forza Motorsport is like GT, whereas Forza Horizon is more open-world racing - FH4 is set in real-world UK locations, so quite fun if you know the areas!

Paid off my Series X this morning at GAME, now for the wait

Yeah I tried F7 yesterday and while you can tune/upgrade stuff it just seems a bit pointless, its not like GT(used to be anyway).

I use to love GT, but it's so lost it's appeal over the years, whereas, I still love the Forza series........not really sure why!

Not really played one extensively for a long time. Not a huge racing fan, however I always liked getting some beat up cheap car (hello MX5), then entering races to get cash to tune it, eventually turning it into a beast.

I tried Forza 7 and it basically just gave me a ton of cars and I won all the first races easily, was boring. Though it looked and played well enough.

 

[Plainsong]

I used to love racing games but I just can't be bothered with them anymore. Not sure why. Never got in to FH a bit too arcadey for me. Preferred GT/Forza.

 

[spaceman]

I'm looking forward to playing FH4 after that update. I think currently it's 4k30 in image quality mode, 1080p60 in performance mode.

Hopefully FM7 gets a similar update, i still have quite a few championships to complete in that one.

Try turning off all the driving aids and then see how easy it is

I turned off a few but its just not the game for me.

Same. Been rock-solid for me. Also, gorgeous on PC on max settings (system requirements aren't that high either; my 5700 XT can pull off 60fps at 3440x1440).

 

[CliffyG]

Think i'm going to get a new TV to go with mine. Currently got a Panasonic 50" and want to go to 65". Anything worth having under 1k and is there any specific feature i should be looking for? My only requirement is a decent DNLA app.
