Seems like they learned from FH3's expansion pass nonsense. Good!
25 EUR for both Blizzard mountain and Hot Wheels was not a bad deal you know, it was worth every penny of it. But yeah, if they are now included in the ultimate edition (and the price doesn't go up) it would be sweet. I still find it hard to believe, there has to be a catch. The catch is probably the 500+ clothes combined to micro transactions or something, which would not be bad if that results in 2 expansions to be included in the ultimate edition.
Hrm, that'll teach me to be hasty... Now that you mention it, It IS Microsoft. They're known to be quite money hungry.
Or it's an option to have cosmetic items for cash instead of waiting to unlock it later in the game, which is most likely the outcome. Honestly, both of you talk as if the Forza franchise has a repeat history of hiding items behind a paywall.25 EUR for both Blizzard mountain and Hot Wheels was not a bad deal you know, it was worth every penny of it.

They are also behind Sony a lot, and I mean A LOT (console sales, exclusive games, ...) So they have some catching up to do, and they better not upset their player base. An appealing deal on FH4 might lure some PS4 players into buying an XBox as well, heck I even bought my standard XBox when coming from PS3 because of FM6. I saw their entire E3 show, I think it was a good show. A lot of sequels and DLC for their existing franchises but I don't think I saw 1 new AAA IP exclusive to Microsoft. But, they bought 5 studios to work on that so the results of that will be for 2019/2020 probably. Not that I care much about console exclusives though, I have both an X1X and PS4 Pro.
What interested me the most about the Microsoft presentation was Forza Horizon 4 and Battlefield V for this year. And then also Cyberpunk 2077 for the future.
I think i will hop on the UE this time. The way they did Hot Wheels and Blizzard Mountain made it a no brainer.I bought the UE for all three previous games, and never regretted it. I'm sure I won't regret getting it this time either.

This probably won’t be a popular comment but I wish Polyphony Digital would copy the Forza model and split Gran Turismo into two games. There is a big empty space on the Playstation for a game like Forza Horizon.
Kaz has hinted in the past that he considered an open world Gran Turismo.
You could argue that Forza Horizon is now more popular than Forza.
Good to see at least this game will get two proper expansions. Whats up with Forza 7, though? Running out of ideas?!

More than likely has to do with this.If the acquisition of PG and early confirmation of two expansions (while the last Motorsport instalment didn't get any) is anything to go by, Horizon is officially the mainline series of the Forza franchise. 👍
Playground Games has been quietly doubling its headcount over the past two years, after the success of Forza Horizon 3 enabled it to embark on a new (and highly secretive) project.
Last year, we revealed that the UK developer was opening a second studio with plans for a team of 200 developers to work on something that goes beyond the racing antics its first team is known for. Since then, precious little new information emerged, save for the fact that it is an "open-world action RPG".
I'm liking this idea. Keeps things fresher, I think, getting a couple new cars every week. And it's eight cars a month instead of seven, so you're coming out ahead.The Car Pass won’t be monthly this time. Instead, 2 new cars every week over a 21-week period.

What math is this?What's the point off deluxe & ultimate editions when you can get everything cheaper on standard edition which is better to go for & never had any problems at all when new stuff comes up on standard edition
The 2 stand alone expansions are like 20 each thats already the price of the UE with the standard game. So you get the car pass and VIP pass for free with the UE. Its the better deal if you want everything.What's the point off deluxe & ultimate editions when you can get everything cheaper on standard edition which is better to go for & never had any problems at all when new stuff comes up on standard edition

Trying to figure out how you came to that conclusion has made me feel that way, so yes, I guess?What you been drinking?
