Forza Horizon 4: General Pre-Release News & Discussion

[LumpiestFish]

Speaking of the soundtrack, I’m happy that they’ve put the full track lists in the demo for the 4 main stations. In previous demos they’ve only featured 3 or 4 songs from each station.

What is up with the P1 in the background???

Something's weird with the paints on cars in the demo. The polished two-tone paint are no longer glossier (or smoother and more reflective looking) than the standard single colour paints. They now look identical material wise.

Perhaps true after completing the final event, but in between events you could free roam all you'd want.

And even in multiplayer

The demos have multiplayer?

No multiplayer in the demo.

Let's just say that the demo is not polished. There is some weird stuff going on all over the place (rarely). I think the glitch on that particular P1 happened because the game uses different assets for drivatar cars body. If the player car is a superpremium, the drivatar car is a premium one and the traffic car is a standard quality car. Drivatar cars uses traffic wheels and interior quality. I went back to the demo as soon as I saw it on my PC but I did exit the fotomode already so I chased it and it was normal again.

EDIT: a "better" shot of the P1

Not the FH4 demo, but the FH3 demo did.

P1 looks like it’s having a tire glitch like the cars in Forza 7 used to have whenever you pressed A after choosing a car.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

All this pre-release gameplay...and none about the Peel P50.

I are disappoint.

Eye candy at 60fps Hate those awful cyrillic fonts, but I am too lazy to find how switch ingame language

You say "weird", I say "hallelujah". The new materials look awesome to me, and I really look forward to the ability to properly replicate certain factory paints that gave me a hard time on FH3 and FM7 with the new, "tamer" two-tone.

P.S. the new polished CF is also very exciting, but I wonder what shine will decals put over it take? I am hoping that, at least on polished paints, vinyl will be vinyl and stay the same on different bases...

Question: Why could't Darius be the "former champion" helping you out? I would've been an interesting arc for him after eating humble pie and losing his sponsors. He then decided to work at the festival full time to help other up and coming drivers. I think it would've been an interesting narrative and we get to see a face we haven't seen in a long time.

Great idea but it could conceivably cause problems with getting the original voice actor maybe, although they could recast him like they did in the latest Avengers movie when a long-forgotten character made his appearance.

I NEVER want to see Ben Miller again though unless Playground add a beat-'em-up section in which you get to punch him in the face repeatedly. God, I hate him even more than Darius.

 

[DavidMonoy97]

Well I still want Ben Miller.

To note, when I was doing the street race for the first time; the new Fiesta Rally Car was in it. Just in case you didn't know.
I should've screenshotted it, but I was too distracted trying not to crash my Cosworth.

You were lucky. I started the midnight race with the 037 and had the Merc racing truck in front of me, and the Honda Trophy truck next to it. They bullied me the first 20% of the race. Poor Lancia..

Apparently the Volvo truck has... issues... if it's in your race.

From Reddit:

I think more testing needs to be done in the final game, interesting comparison though.

 

[ImaRobot]

To be honest, if you have good enough car control then the benefits of AWD are a bit diminished outside of the initial launch. When using AWD you tend to lose some much needed PI that could go to other beneficial area's. That's strictly speaking for on-road races though, obviously.

 

[UKMikey]

If they ever make Forza Horizon 4: The Movie they should consider casting iZombie's Rahul Kohli to play Jay the street race guy.

At least you get some Super Wheelspins along with the pointless stuff. I may try pushing for that free Alfa though.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Last I checked I was on Tier 10.

 

[Rob192005]

Level 10,here also,no idea where I'm gonna find 8k points though...

 

[TokoTurismo]

I'm Tier 11, so hell yeah be getting some of that stuff!

 

[Vic Reign93]

Tier 12, played FH3 and FM7, looks like i’m getting the whole nine yards on what’s being offered. :tup:

 

[GTvsForza]

How long is the demo for? I just started playing after I updated my driver.

You mean when does the demo end and restart from the start menu?

In that case, It doesn’t, it only ends when you leave the demo.

If you do all the races in the demo, You unlock the other cars you didn’t pick including the Senna. 👍

Wait, you have to do it in one sitting?
