NB4 all the oldschool console haters change their tune.



Last year's PC gamer: "lolol Forza is console sh** for teh babyssssss"

Next year's PC gamer: "Yeah, Forza is a true-to-life and a wonderful example of how to push the PC platform."
 
"We've adjusted the graphical quality for parity across both platforms!"
 
I do love Forza -- but I really don't feel like coughing up another $25 so I can use my Xbox one controller on the PC (I know I can get it to work for free in wired mode, but who really wants that?)

because that USB cable that you already have for charging your wireless keyboard or "smart" device is such a hindrance while sitting at a desk.

real question will be to what degree they support multiple panels and resolutions as well wheel setups.

oh I have one, I have a microUSB cable sitting here sure, but it's not plugged into the computer, it's off a 2A adapter. I charge my mouse, keyboard, phone, gopro, and all my gadgets with it, it's fast and efficient. Nobody likes charging off 500mA Even with a 3.0 cable... 0.9A meh too slow.
 
I hope that the PC versions wont be gimped down versions of the XBox1 version.
 
To be fair, that "gimped" version is also free.

The real test will be quantum break.

Graphics /resolution will also be a big question mark. The Xbox version is already 1080 and 60fps using forward rendering . It will remain a significant title for consoles, so I don't know how much they will try to expand what's possible for PCs at the expense of making their core market look worse.

Are you talking about Quantum Break or Forza when you say '1080P, 60FPS'?
 
yeah that wasn't very clear. Forza runs 1080/60fps because of forward rendering. pretty sure Quantum Break is in the 720-900 range.

That trend is already set with the 6-track <30 car Forza Apex on PC.

One F2P demo is not indicative of a trend. If anything, the trend so far is full fledged releases on both platforms with Gears of War, Killer Instinct, and the forthcoming Quantum Break.
 
From what ive seen it will not support multi gpu. I hope its wrong but I guess well see.
 
This is good news, i always liked forza but i was not going to get an Xbone.
 
I call shens. It appears to be consolitis in the highest . Can't trust MS with gaming. They always fuck things up. The pc side will have serious drawbacks.
 
So it has no multiplayer and no wheel support. It is indeed a free beta. They are really trying to make it seem like they are going to do it properly. If the quote below came from Turn10 instead of Phil Spencer then it could be taken a little more seriously. The no multi gpu turns out was untrue. They do still have vsync issues but thats being worked on and its a UWP issue. Getting anxious for this to come out.
PCG: Why do that specifically? Why make the free curated version rather than just Forza 6?

We’re very transparent on this one. We shipped Forza 6 obviously in the fall on Xbox One, and the team started to look at could they build a 4K version of Forza with the assets that they had, because they capture and build their cars and tracks at very high resolutions. With their engine they were already supporting DirectX, obviously, from Xbox, so they were able to bring up the engine and bring up the assets, and show something that frankly when you see it is just stupidly stunning. It looks great. But we don’t think Forza 6 is what the PC racing fan thinks of as a racing franchise. If you look at the racing franchises that are on PC today and do incredibly well, they’re not, kind of, $60 shrinkwrapped products the way we built Forza 6.

This is a good example of, you know, I’m not trying to make all games the same everywhere you go. So we're going to learn. We’re going to put Apex out there and people are going to give us feedback about what they like and what they don’t like. I wouldn’t say it’s a model for how we would do PC Forza in the future, but it’s a great opportunity for us to get it in the hands of people, allow them to play—as you said, it’s free, so we’re not charging people to go play it—and get the feedback from the PC gaming community around here’s what they like and here’s what they don’t like. I think we have something to offer, because I think we have—frankly this is a boast—but I think we have one of the best racing studios on the planet in Turn 10. But we didn’t build Forza 6 with the idea that it would go to PC, so instead of kind of creating the wrong experience for the PC community that’s there, we chose to do something less expensive for the customer and, to be honest, an experiment by us on what we could do.

No one has ever released a game like Forza on the PC, so how can he say something like that? Did they ever bother to do any market research on a PC version of Forza? I can't begin to count how many times I've seen people online wishing for a game like Forza or Gran Turismo to be released on the PC.
 
Actually there was one game, a long time back: Motor City Online. While technically an MMO, it was very much like Forza 5/6 with drivetars and rivals/time attack modes if you didn't want to do straight up head to head races. a ton of cars, lots of parts to choose from for modification/tuning, day/night and weather racing.
 
That being said, there are some elements of Forza that are not going to play well with the PC crowd. the PI system is the core of the balance and what allows it to work. that's going to mean the game is going to have be fairly closed off, which is going to piss off a vocal minority that can't understand why Mods won't be allowed. I am also quite worried about cheaters that now have a lot more freedom to play with on the PC vs the console. you thought Turn10's FM3 AWD glitch was bad, its not going to be a drop compared to what could come out of the PC world.
 
Another factor is I don't think Turn 10 is prepared for the level of customization the PC sim crowd expects these days. We want to disable the wheel/arms models, maybe wheel-only to match wheel rotation, adjustable cockpit views and FOV, per-car shifter selection (sequential vs. H pattern,) customizeable FFB and the list goes on. I don't think they'll ever get it to that level that we are used to on PC right now.
 
Xbox One not selling as they'd like, need more units to compete for exclusives? Colour me surprised.

More like MS wants to push UWP and doing so with a huge, well known, respected, and until know, forbidden, franchise makes since. This move isn't going to help Xbox sales and they know it.

To honest I fully expect the game to be closed off. This prevents issues with cheating and creating advantages with glitches. Turn10 has become VERY aggressive with glitches/bugs/cheaters on the XBL environment so I don't think cheaters will be to much an issue.

Those who want those things should jump in and play Apex. Its basically an open beta. Voice your concerns and suggestions to help them make a better game.
 
Hell yeah. My rig falls between Minimum and Recommended. Looks like i need to pick up a Win10 key and setup dual boot for it.
