Forza Horizon 3 Native 4K & Enhanced Patch on Xbox One X Coming January 15

Forza Horizon 3 will receive a new patch on January 15, thanks to which support for Xbox One X will be enabled.

Obscure_Observer2317d ago (Edited 2317d ago )

Amazing work! Congrats Playground Games! Can´t wait to race your beautiful game again.

And now, all i can think about is Forza Horizon 4 reflecting the all beauty of Japan vistas at Native 4K! *_*

Drifiting Haruna (Akina) Mountain on Forza Horizon will be a dream come true.

Yes, Initial D fan right here, baby. ;)

HYPE!!!

Wotbot2317d ago

Adds to an already impressive title.

HollowKnight2317d ago

Still waiting for Sunset Overdrive patch I want to play that game.

Wotbot2316d ago

Sunset is one of the best games this gen, an absolute joy to play

BL8CK1CE2317d ago

Can’t wait stopped playing when I heard there was a patch coming.

mark_parch2317d ago

same here. haven't turned it on since I heard about the patch and started loads of other games, can't wait to jump back in

TankCrossing2317d ago (Edited 2317d ago )

I don't normally play non-VR racing games any more, but FH3 is a gem. At the very least I'll probably have a dabble with the Hot Wheels expansion content.

Cross-buy coming up trumps for me, as I originally bought this for PC :)

timotim2317d ago

Amazing! My 4K OLED is ready! Greatest racer of the generation easy!

NoPeace_Walker2317d ago

The best racer this gen...now with Native 4K. My X is ready. 👍🏼

timotim2317d ago

I mean arcade or otherwise actually.

obidanshinobi2317d ago

Well the game does feature a fully simulated transmission and there's loads of tuning.
Can't remember many arcade racers where you can adjust the tyre pressure.

AAWELLS092317d ago

What makes the difference? Oh you're just being a..........? Why act like this?

jinjojuice2317d ago

Forza Horizon 3 is 1080p/30 so it seems impossible to get to 4K/60 out of it on the XB1X. That would require 8 times the pixels per second, but maybe a 1080p enhanced mode could get it there if Playground puts some serious effort into it.

slasaru012317d ago

i don't know about the serious effort since it can run 1080/60 on Win10 PC from Windows Store and even has same achievements already. in this case it's either shady policy or laziness

TheCommentator2316d ago (Edited 2316d ago )

I don't know for sure Slasaru, but I believe (IIRC) that games on consoles which are frame locked to 30FPS would need more work to change things like the frame buffer to get to 60FPS. Games with unlocked framerates can just scale up to 60 without much more that extra power. Maybe someone with programming experience like Rainslacker could elaborate, but it's beyond my scope to give any more detail.

I don't see why you'd conclude that it's shady practice or laziness. When has Playground ever skimped on quality or detail?

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2317d ago

Most likely 4k 30fps. maybe a 1080p 60 mode though?

kevnb2317d ago

i would hope for 1440p 60 fps with up scaling.

ProjectVulcan2317d ago (Edited 2317d ago )

Not a chance.

Sm00thNinja2317d ago

But the Witcher 3 offers this?? It's a possibility if not a pipe dream

CrimsonIdol2317d ago

The Witcher 3 offers "up to" 60fps at "up to" 4K on Xbox one X. Stable 60fps would be possible I reckon, but not at 4k, not in a big open world game.

ProjectVulcan2317d ago (Edited 2317d ago )

The Witcher 3 offers 1080p and averages about 45FPS if you watch the analysis by Digital Foundry. It's totally inconsistent which really isn't good for a racing game. Might be just about tolerable riding around on a horse in an adventure game, less so racing cars.

It's also less demanding than Forza Horizon 3, since it's exclusively an offline title and Horizon 3 pushes the base Xbox One very hard.

Soon as you add Horizon 3's netcode coupled with the open world there is no hope it'll get near to sustaining 60FPS on Xbox One X even at 1080p. Not unless you want to take a hit to the settings.

badz1492317d ago

If 60fps is what you after, why didn't you play it at its best since launch? It was already 60fps or higher on a decent PC

Sm00thNinja2317d ago

You answered your own question. I don't have the extra cash to spend on upgradin g my PC. Between my Xbox One X, PS4 Pro and Switch I'm tapped out

badz1492317d ago

you could have upgraded your PC for cheaper than buying the X and play this game at 60fps. maybe not in 4K but 1080p or even 1440p at 60fps was already doable on a mid-range cards

mark_parch2317d ago

no chance of 4k 60fps but hopefully we will get a 1080 60fps and 4k 30fps modes

Xbox President Sarah Bond's Bloomberg Interview Is Corporate Fakery At Its Best

Saad from eXputer: "After Arkane Austin & Tango were shutdown, Xbox President Sarah Bond spoke with Bloomberg in what I believe to be utter corporate fakery."

gold_drake2d ago

im not really surprised by that, shes always been more a "let me talk about something else than what u want to know" kinda gal

Cacabunga1d 18h ago

If what they are doing is that good, what’s the point of hiding the true story?

anast1d 22h ago

She's a caricature of the shareholders.

PRIMORDUS1d 20h ago

"Shareholders" I call them cancer, they are already rich to begin with but need more and more. It's like a disease, with no cure.

__y2jb1d 4h ago

If you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder in these big tech companies yourself. To demonize them as 'heartless rich people' shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

anast1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

@Y2

Of course, it isn't about that. You are attempting to set up a self-righteous strawman to stir up some kind of ignorant mob mentality.

And by the way, most everyone is a touch heartless or we wouldn't be able to consume the products we do knowing very well how they are made. People have to be this way because of self-preservation and convenience.

__y2jb1d ago

@anast please explain to me how what i said is self righteous or a strawman. I simply pointed out that categorizing all shareholders as cancer is ridiculous.

Leeroyw1d 18h ago

I own shares in game companies. I'm not anything near a major share holder. I just want them to make good games and be successful because of that. I think it's the senior management that's the problem. They are the ones that should be making it clear to the shareholders what creates growth and ensures a future of their business. Not this weasle words garbage that she did on the interview. It was horrific. I don't know a shareholder that would be happy with any of them for this.

Profchaos1d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

Same and I'm not rich by any stretch like most people's I'm just trying to keep my head above water these days most company's shareholders are made up of everyday people it's amazing how companies think we want something but the reality is we don't.

Disney are probably the worse at the moment it's shareholders voted on ending a lot of the crap and outing the current execs the execs turned around and said no we disagree with the shareholder vote

PRIMORDUS1d 12h ago

I meant at the rich fucks who have millions in the bank already. They are making so much per year, that if they don't make what they are expecting they go into a panic, when in reality it will not even hurt them at all. Those are greedy assholes.

anast1d 3h ago

"you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder"

Pensioners don't make any decisions about anything. Obviously that is not what this is about.

CrimsonWing691d 22h ago

Yea, it was and it’s insulting that they think we’re dumb enough to fall for this. Look, the truth was you took a gamble on these studios and while they released some games to critical praise and great reception they just aren’t bringing in a ROI. Be transparent, you’re not a politician.

Just tell everyone you spend money on projects big and small and when money isn’t being made you go over the potential of revenue a studio can bring in vs those that can’t and make the hard decision to chop them.

She says this whole thing about “success” doesn’t fit one meaning for each studio. Well yea, a small budget production isn’t going to expect to sell the same as a large budget production.

One thing I wish they did though was let Tango be an independent studio.

TheGamingHounds1d 22h ago

disheartening to see no regard for the human cost of business anymore
the bad decisions and judgements of these CEOs severely impact the frontliners
these fake responses are just salt on wounds

RoadRacer1d 21h ago

imagine havin the audacity to say "we need more games like hifi rush" right after closing the studio that made it lol
followin up with this show of "deflecting every question" was in poor taste

StormSnooper1d 19h ago

MS is all about lip service.
