No score from me but just popped in to say I think FH4 is a great example of what technical PC game design should aspire to:
-Built in benchmarking
-Detailed outputs that highlight where you bottleneck lies (gpu/cpu)
-Lots of configuration options
-Guidelines against configuration options to indicate if it's likely to impact cpu, gpu, vram, ram etc
-Play anywhere so can play same game save seamlessly on XBOne (not that I want to that often but my son does sometimes).

We should congratulate developers on this sort of thing so they don't think it's a waste of time and not bother.

Plus of course the fact it runs really good on midrange hardware, is a good game with a lot of depth, good graphics of course :)

Yes, it's perfectly optimised the developers should be applauded. Looks great too.

Ah, I disagree. The dynamic weather adds some really nice looking effects IMO.

Gameplay is okay, but the graphics are decent and I like the way the car gets dirty as the weather can change.

no no no, thats horrid LtMatt. :eek:

Looks like that car is floating on the surface. :cry::cry::cry:

Looks like a badly ported 2008 console game with a bit of dirt effect thrown in for good measure.

Seriously bro :p

Subjective i guess. Playing a bit of Forza and Dirt 5 atm and think they both look good graphically, but Dirt 5 definitely has the better looking weather and environments by far.
