AbsolutSurgen Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Given the GOTY is just a few weeks away, just thought I would create a place to post all things FH4. Edition Comparison -- Note these are different than FH3 Base Game ($59.99) -- FH 4 Formula Drift Car Pack Deluxe Edition ($79.99) --Base + Car Pass Ultimate Edition ($99.99) -- Deluxe + VIP + Expansion 1 + Expansion 2 + Day One Car Pack + Play 4 days early That's right -- the Deluxe edition does not contain VIP this year, but has the car pack instead. HOWEVER, the Ultimate Edition seems to have tremendous value -- all of the content from the FH3 UE -- plus both expansions included! This cost $35 extra on FH3.

AbsolutSurgen Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Looks like 1080p/60 is the way to go for Xbots: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The def star Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 After running both 1080p/60 and 4k/30 I'm going with 4k/30. Game is so damn pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I will never forget paying $120 for FH3 and it not including expansion packs...never forget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre801 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 1080p 60 is nice, but I missed that eye candy when I switched that mode on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardAct Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Dont care about the 4 days early but im bittinng the bullet and buying the Ultimate Edition.

EternallDarkness Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Can't believe I am saying this but I am thinking about picking the Ultimate Edition as well. It's been forever since I bought a special edition and even longer since I picked up a game at launch, but I love this series and the demo is damn sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I might even get the expansion pass this time around. The previous Hot Wheels expansion proves Playground isn't afraid to have fun with the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIP doubles your credits for every race. It also gives you 3 Forza Edition cars, and periodic car gifts. The double credits really eliminates the grind in Forza games.

number305 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Is there a good wheel and pedals for the xbox? My kids are about at the age that a cool cockpit setup might really be fun for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really love a Fanatec setup, but the cost is too rich for my blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to go find something to drink just so I could spit it out. $1300 for a controller wheel seems high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have setups for ~$450 -- but yes you certainly can spend $1,300 (and a lot more) on one. I know there are wheels as low as ~$100. YMMV.

My kids are about at the age that a cool cockpit setup might really be fun for them. I use Logitec g29 when I play and its fantastic. I also have it hooked to the Open Wheeler Racing Seat !! I just love it. I have this version because I wanted it to work with PS4 too and with that you'll have to use a PC to play Forza on Xbox. That's no biggie though, my PC runs it perfectly @1080p / 60. I wish there was a Logitec G series that worked with both consoles, but there isn't. Love these games, also the best yet is the Dirt Rally game with my setup!! Just Heaven period! PS: My New birthday / christmas present to MYSELF with be an NEW Dream PC to future my fun running a I7 8700k / Nvidia GTX 2080Ti !! Can't wait . . . . . . . .

The def star Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 BTW there is an Official Day One Patch club that I'll try to get integrated into the Horzion car club once it's out. On the Giant Bomb quick look they said that clubs in the game is a system wide thing which is pretty cool. If you haven't joined yet be sure to do so on the Xbox or Xbox app. Look for it as "Day One Patch Club". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I dunno if I'll be picking this up any time soon. Still a bit burned after I bought the $100+ version of 3 and it didn't come with the damned expansions, not to mention the performance issues never seemed to fully go away for me. Frankly I couldn't afford it either way, too many other games all releasing now. Sadly a few must get bumped in the interest of not overspending, and the bad experience I had from the last one puts this on the top of the list.
