hello Adam Patrick Murray how are you Hayden Digman hi we're here with Fortson
horizon 4 and our custom to furious license plate yeah that's a TM where's
the TM on the not here because we don't know the trade
don't tell anybody whoops so yeah we are playing the fourth
of the fort's of horizons I'm trying to figure out how our race is still ahead
of us okay right now we're at The Horizon festival itself why the hell you
listening to classical music yeah we can change us some more bumping oh they
still have that lady huh yeah I saw that lady's arrived too so we are driving for
people who are curious we are driving the Reliant Robin whoo it's so pretty
most well-known I think from the Top Gear segment where they drive this
around I've actually seen that ups and it tips over this is a three wheel
three-wheeled car so it is prone to tipping over when you take corners too
fast so the physics are accurate it does tip over when you take a corner really
fat oh that's funny yeah so we'll see how we do in this this race here could
be very interesting is it way does this race geared for classical cars like this
yes it is it's in a car class so the Forza horizon system will pretty much
let you race any race with whatever car you'd like it just puts you you can
pretty much set it up whatever car you show up with is the class oh my god
we're gonna tip over all right whatever car you show up in it will default to
that as the class that things you want to race in but then you can change your
car and it'll automatically change the change like this setup of the race
itself or you can create your own races but they had that in there last time
yeah then three they call the blueprint mode oh my god this new quarters
yeah they call it the blueprint mode so you can go in and like say hey I want it
to be only famous movie Cars oh nice so that's fun
unfortunately I don't think that we can make it only a Reliant Robin because
that would really be the ideal race we're not doing great
Jason Cross yeah what's going on we're not doing very well in this race why
should that's fine I probably before we did gimmick races like this I probably
should turn our difficulty down to Oh inexperienced or whatever we're driving
on the highly skilled either way you're gonna give the comment saying he sucks
yeah well that's why I figured we drive the Reliant Robin because then I don't
have to take it to heart there we go but yeah it's the it's
pretty much more fortunate rising so if you liked forts of horizon which I do
it's that did you want more for ISM I always want more forts of horizon though
I think I'm at a point and I sort of reached this point with three I wish
they would do a little bit more to change it up this time and we're not
really seeing any of it right now because we're in a race but this time
the big changes you have seasons so yeah we did some video at e3 but for the
first six or seven hours of this game you're just locked into a season at a
time there's like a pretty limited progression where you start out in
summer once you've gained enough influence you move to autumn then winter
and then spring the main problem that I found is that the spring summer and fall
seasons are all sort of identical and we're seeing some that that
rubber-banding right now can't really can't really corner very well still so
it's not really gonna man so yeah the the spring summer and fall are all kind
of the same you'll notice some differences like it'll rain more in the
autumn I believe and the the rain obviously will change up some of the
it'll like put puddles on the tracks that you'll slam into and stuff so
that's fun but it's kind of very similar so it's not just winter the winter is
wild so in the winter wild winter my favorite is there's this giant lake in
the top left of the map I can pull up an apples we're doing this race that entire
lake turns the ice winter so you can just drive over it which shows it a lot
more fun to get around are there like races specifically designed just for yes
as far as I know so I've only made it around the circuit one time in those
ones they have specific showcases that they do for each for each season okay
but then once I got out of it and I'm now back in the summertime they have
season specific championships so I can pull up the map once we're out of here
oh you also have a player character now so we're this pink haired lady are you
still trying to get followers for your we are see we'll get credits and then
we'll get followers right after a perfect influencer influence rewards yes
my mixer engine so yes anyways now we're back out of the race map time pull up
that map and yeah so these things are all you'll see it says seasonal
championship uh-huh and I don't know if those change every time it goes around
each season lasts for a week in-game so there's like an actual day/night cycle
that takes I don't know like an hour maybe it's a while but each week it'll
change seasons after this probably not an hour because that's pretty crazy but
15 minutes maybe and so I don't know if those change out or if they're like
procedurally generated or what but they do have these these specific seasonal
Championships laying around meaning you can't do them until you're in a specific
yeah like I said these ones have that Sun next to them which is the summer
time and so then presumably when you get into the autumn and the winter you'll
have specific winter and autumn ones I don't know if there's one that goes
across this giant lake but I hope there is because as I said this is like the
this is all ice during the winter that's sound so it's really fun to just bomb
around on truck or whatever you just cut straight through yeah exactly where I
was like during the summer it's too deep you'll actually like fall in and then
respawn back on the road so yeah there's a ton of races in this game in the
countryside a little reminiscent of the of the second one huh yeah a little
European yeah so I mean we talked about this a little bit before we did the
video my biggest problem in this game and I don't want to offend anybody from
the UK so let's just drive around when we talk I don't want to offend any way
from the UK but it turns out that the UK and France and Italy all kind of feel
pretty similar when you get down to it okay especially in Forza yeah so
the comparison is obviously you know for tourism 3 went to Australia which has a
lot of beautiful natural landmarks and a lot of different biomes to go to so like
hey now I'm in the coast now I'm in the outback the UK just all kind of feels
like the UK they try to change it up you've got others Edinburgh in the game
oh my god Top Gear never did that one
yeah there's Edinburgh in the game so you can go there and hang out in the
city a little bit but you've actually been to in real life no I have no oh
okay wrong been to Dublin so yeah wow you're
really very yeah it all sort of feels like this like big sloping green hills
I understand they wanted to do like a you know you want to have like see a
place where there are good seasons and a lot of them and also I think the nice
rock on I think the horizon team is based in the UK we had awful leagues out
of existence yeah this is about that lake by the way so you can imagine in
the winter when this is all ice it's really fun for nice but yet the I'm
pretty sure they're based in the UK so that might have influenced the choice
also but it just feels very similar to like that pastoral countryside in France
and Italy it's still very pretty especially in the winter but I'm not
noticing as much variety driving around here it's just like oh yeah there's that
huh there are those tiny villages again yeah it's four so like I like these
forts of rising games I think they're fun the other thing is nice is they have
added a bit more variety that they had like the for the horizon bucket list
before uh-huh which is usually like a one-off mission like hey go here drive
this car really fast and try and beat his time or whatever
this time they have changed that up and you have these things called horizons
stories so the first one you get is the stunt driver story I haven't gotten very
far in any of these yet but they add like actual characters and actual
objectives for you to do so the stunt driver one the first one that you do is
you like drive a Bugatti up like off of a cliff basically through like a
windmill okay um and so it's like a little bit more fun and and
contextualized then the the bucket list which was always just lets me just past
me which it was just like hey drive real fast or jump off this jump but you
didn't have a reason why yeah from what I hear influencers dude yeah from what I
hear there's another there's a fun one I don't know if I've unlocked it yet
there's one that is like a classic movie Cars a storyline and I know I think this
one is just driving fast there's one that's like a classic movie Cars
storyline or sorry classic video game cars uh and so I hunter the first one
that you drive is the the car from outrun uh and it's a there's like a
little scene from that like a Ferrari yeah yeah so yeah I'm looking forward to
getting through those they seem like maybe the most like the biggest change
up here cuz a lot of the races and stuff are just the same it's a racing game
yeah that's fine and there's a lot of fun to be had I also was saying before
we jumped in here I think there being a lot they've all did they've almost
overcorrected from the Forza seven last year's porta the because that one was
bogged down by the loop box scandals of 27 teams that we all remember obviously
yeah they seem to have over corrected and now
they just award you cars like every five seconds so you get a wheel spin every
time you level up with the potential to get a new car nice or credits or
whatever so I have like I don't 1200 or no 1.2 million credits which is a lot of
a lot of cars to buy and how many curves let's see your and then yeah the card
collection I haven't look you in mind I've not bought a single car yet and I
have 26 cars available right now and some of them are like really nice we
have a we have a Camaro in here we have a GTO somewhere down here we have this
this yeah GTO looks nice this Huracan like they just handed maybe gave me this
for like leveling up one of my like the street racing and they have like that
this one's marked as rare yeah wheel spins stuff it'll it depends on what
you're getting but yeah that gave me this Huracan for just getting through
the street racing circuit far enough which like usually this would be like an
endgame sort of car yeah in Forza yeah they just like hand it to me or like hey
here you go physics and you're still won so yeah it seems a lot more it seems
like they basically took last year's criticisms the heart and then we're like
hey we need to win people back this time why don't we just like give everybody a
bunch of cars like which is nice it's a lot more fun than like last year I think
I played 4 to 7 for like a week and a half and I had in five or six cars at
the end of it this one I feel like they're just like every 5 seconds like
hey man why don't you try out this car and said hey me want to try this car
that's nice they're also the last change of sorts is
you can now buy houses which is like really for what - what I'm basically for
fast travel but then each of them also gives you a
like a bonus so a lot of them are the first one that you get has drone mode
that you get that for moving in here oh then because we had the VIP version
we got via this one which I think came with some wheel spins and then yeah a
lot of them have like wheel spins or whatever you can't actually see the
rewards on the map which is a pain but the craziest one is and there's an
achievement for it when you get 15 million you could go by and bro Castle
Oh side effect but yeah it's fortunate rising 4 and there's tons of hot air
balloons there's a barn finds there's skill points there's all that stuff
thanks Wilson somebody asked in our last gameplay
video to make sure we cover some performance what is it like running it
on your rig at home I mean I rate at home is a 1080i so but I'm just peg 260
it's hard to tell because Microsoft does the dynamic performance stuff that they
use on the Xbox also so I mean we can pull up the settings here I think that
you can turn that off but I honestly haven't found a reason to because they
seem to be pretty smart about how they do that stuff I mean it looks really
pretty so yeah they have the the dynamic
optimization stuff got a cut you could turn off and you can also turn on
because it's a you know Windows 10 you WP of course you can turn on they have
an in-game framerate counter so we can just touch on this rig here we're
playing is uh yeah yeah exactly this is 1080 - yeah this is the main gear yeah
131 Oh so yeah dual 1080 eyes and you can see like over the top it's just 60
it just pegs it which is nice I haven't had any dips or anything driving around
we do have this installed to an SSD and I'm not sure if that would be the same
if it was installed on a hard drive I know in the past I've
some problems with I think fortunate risin three install on a 7200 rpm hard
drive no right there was some texture loading problems the other thing this
game will do is it'll randomly log you into the internet so I guess I should
mention that we haven't done any of this stuff because it's pre released but
there is like a hefty multiplayer component this time you can join up with
I think five other friends and drive around at any point there's like a whole
tab in here for team adventure horizon life all this stuff so there's still the
club section all that so yeah you can join up with a bunch of friends and
drive around and this like just play online connector fries and life stuff
the problem that I found is it'll just randomly connect you to that and if your
internet is not great which mine is currently at home not that great you'll
notice rubber banding from the network connection getting screwed
yikes which in a racing game is really annoying so I have had to turn all that
stuff off multiple times now because after a a race it'll just suddenly be
back online and I don't really know why they designed it that way but that's the
only part that I've noticed and honestly if you have decent internet it should be
fine I just live in like a oh my god we're gonna get stuck here
yeah I just live in like a there is a reset car button at least so I live in
like an old San Francisco gave me attraction he's an old San Francisco
apartment with like really thick walls and a batterer outer so we have not
gotten that fixed yet but
so yeah that's for surprising for don't get stuck on cliffs in your ear Huracan
or in in real life yeah your yeah donut don't sell my Luisi
oh my god it really wants me to stay here oh yeah I'm enjoying it I think
again I wish that they would take a few more risks with their setup at this
point Oh fine it sounds like you need to go practice I know I need to get off
those cliffs yeah yeah take a few more risk with their setup at this point but
I'm enjoying it well we got a really cracked windshield
yeah yeah it's fortunate rising forehand yeah that's about it they make one of
these every two years so perfect still a good time and I just wish it was a
better time sometimes bye I'm probably gonna pick it up so I wanna
beat all your scores like I'm beating all of Brett's scores they're at the
bottom that's my favorite part of the game still so yeah anyways thank you
Adam for checking this out with me and we will be back soon probably hey thanks
for bringing back thanks to Jason Cross for contributing his bad drive ATAR to
perfect our forks a session love it bye bye
