Anyone got Forza Horizon 4 yet?
Looks absolutely beautiful from what I've seen of it on YouTube etc

Yeah I've got it included in my game pass.

It's absolutely stunning in 4K. And it's huge, lots of things to. My only gripe is that it's a bit too easy. The game just throws money and cars at you at a rapid rate. You don't even have to finish first in races so you don't really get that sense of accomplishment you get in other racing games like GT or Forza Motorsport. It's very much a casual game but extremely fun.

Multiplayer is very good and griefing is also non existent.

New patch drops this week where you can create your own courses and post them online which looks really good

Cool, really like the fact that it's based in the UK.
If I want a real challenge I'll just go on asseto Corsa. Think Forza knows it's audience tbf to them

Red dead redemption day is soon here :D will be picking it up at midnight. Install takes about 2 hours apparently

 

[markbmcfc]

RDR2 out already in Aus. Gameplay vids show it to be everything everyone hoped it would be.

 

[inbetween]

Anyone on Xbox? Can you buy Red dead now and let it preload? Won't be going at midnight if you need to download a ton of stuff.

Yes you can do that. It's £54.99 though and download is 88.6GB

 

[DruntBlunt]

Installed and waiting for midnight.

Getting tetchy as my Amazon pre-order still hasn't been dispatched.

Where's the cheaper place to pre order RDR2? Cheapest I've found is £48.

Heads up for those running low on Xbox Gold membership or want to stack, Game currently doing 6 months for £14.99:

Thanks for that mate. Just bought one and when I redeemed on my xbox they gave me another month if I turned on recurring billing. So I did and got the 7 months. Then I turned off the recurring billing.

Then I did it all again so 14 months for £30. I also game share with my nephew which includes the Live membership.

So £15 each for £14 months. :-)

Count me amongst the PC owners fidgeting nervously whilst we wait for news of a port. I... I even considered buying a PS4 Pro for the occassion. That's having bought and sold one already this year to play God Of War (NO regrets).... but unlike that one, there is no 60fps 1080p mode.

Anyway this is much more highbrow than any perfect, ultra-granulated recreation of an astonishingly beautiful open-world at a critical point in the world's history...

Return Of The Obra Dinn. I joke, but it is like walking around in a painting, and the game itself is so good my brain works better just by playing it. From the guy who knocked Papers, Please together. I've only put in one night, but it looks like being - maybe - the best mystery adventure game I've played.

I also contemplated buying a Pro but have held off. It will come, there's been give aways for RDR2 in the PC version of GTA, so it's going to happen.

Probably a year later like GTA was.

Nice one bud, every little helps ;-)

The fact that Rockstar didn't release on pc is just pure greed, nothing else.
They want people to double dip. Go out and buy a console for the game, then go and buy the game on pc when it's released on that platform.
Clever marketing of course but a bit scummy imo

Never got released mate. Though they did the double dip with GTA V

Ive just played the 1st 15mins. Looks good. Never got into GTA5 and all that gangsta stuff. Bought it one day and sold it the next.

Not sure why anybody would buy the game twice though.

So far so good everything I expected I can't wait to be cut loose to explore.
