@@granathd That is true. I own a digital copy of FH3 and it has been delisted for a while now, I was able to install from the Microsoft Store (including all my DLCs) and play the game even after the game was delisted.
Very common with racing games. The vast majority of them get delisted because of licenses. Thankfully Forza is fully playable offline when they eventually take down the servers too.

Because they get renewed. Third Watch is one series that barely managed to get some home video release for the first 3 seasons after 20 years or so exactly due to licensing.

Its not just that, I got put off seeing that they were reusing USDM models of cars instead of making the small changes to match what we have in Europe. It was so annoying to see American spec BMWs in a game set in the UK.
In FH2 the roads are wide too. In a small town in Italy. Completely realistic right? Yet, it's one of the best game in the series. Trust me, it wouldn't work with tiny, narrow streets. It's a racing game, players need space.
It's so ridiculous how the games industry seems incapable of telling record labels and car manufacturers they are having a laugh with their timed licensing. Imagine a movie getting pulled from a streaming service because the studio signed a temporary license for a song. It's wild.
@@zerosam5541 It's about authenticity. Car games after Gran Turismo went all in on having real cars. Much like sports games are all in on having the real player names. Are they necessary? No. Will players moan if they're not there? Undoubtedly.

I bought this in July on sale. To me FH4 is more aesthetically pleasing than 5, especially with the seasons mechanic constantly changing the visuals. Top tip for using a 1060 (I used to use a 6GB) turn your reflections and shadows down a bit, it helps to lower stutters, you can make the game in motion look pretty much the same as maxed out with a bit of granular tweaking.
Well, what do you expect? FH5 uses mostly desert settings. Or tropical rainforest. Either way, having dramatic seasonal changes is going to be off the table. Besides, it doesn't snow anywhere near that much in the actual UK :P
I saw another short that was about this. I put so much time into 4, but stopped playing when 5 released. I never owned 4, just played it with Games Pass. I bought it the other day, the Ultimate version was 14.00 Usd at a third party seller. What a great game! Thanks for the heads up! I managed to snag a few other game deals in the past, because of your videos.
I brought this last month as a training aid for my son as he starts learning to drive, especially being a UK based driving game. With the roads,signage and hazards, it's a great teaching tool.
City Car Driving is good for that too. Not sure if they've got UK mode, but they have Australia which gets you on the correct side of the road at least. It's specifically about driving like you're supposed to, not racing around without a care for safety.
It absolutely is not. Euro truck would be far better. Or even gta 5 as it portrays real drivers far better. Sitting in traffic is what driving has come to in the U.K. these days.
This game has something that the newer FH5 does not have... I don't know what it is, it's hard to explain. Yes, the graphics are better in FH5, but FH4 has a soul, it has something that makes you sit back and drive, enjoy the scenary. The optimization is also phenomenal, with my RTX 3050 Ti laptop I can play it with everything set as high as possible and maintain 60+ fps
Duuuude I remember playing this on a laptop with a 1050 4gb card and it ran smooth after some adjusting, it looked phenomenal, can't believe they are delisting it...
Playground are from Scotland, they knew exactly how to present northern England and the Edinburgh area of Scotland. That's why it has the seasons mechanic, we sit under a point where 5 major weather systems collide making the weather very changeable. In the 70s there was a blizzard in June once, it hit just as the West Indies cricket team were playing a friendly match as part of their summer tour. No warning, no prediction, warm summer day one minute, sky darkens and a minute later a blizzard.

I literally just bought it 10 hours ago and finished installation. I bought it because I was looking at discounted games and this was on the list lol never knew it will be de-listed haha
Hi, unrelated to the video (thanks for the warning about the delisting btw) can you remove the automatic translations, pretty please ? They are awful and since YT blocks the access to the English title and descriptions for non native speakers it's a struggle. I had to scrap my head for a while to understand what the French title meant. Also the default audio for me is this laughable machine translated voice and it struggles a lot with the parts name and in general.
@@worldhello1234 Sadly it doesn't really help since now French and German video titles are translated to English. And the translation this way is not better, at all. So far I understand that the only option is in the hand of the video creator to actively disable translations.
This fact is why Forza Horizon 1 is my final Forza game. Honestly it's more fun to emulate Forza Motorsport 1 (Xbox 360) on Steam Deck than play endless spending and catch up on the latest Forza fad game
It was so much more fun than 5. The annoying thing for me is that I played it a lot on gamepass but apparently theres no way to get the save onto steam while you can with 5. Drives me nuts as I'd love to play with some of my old cars on my steam deck
I didn't play 4 all that much and got way better at tuning in 5 so I actually preferred having a clean slate. I got the ultimate version for like $20 on Steam back when they first announced the de-listing so I ended up with more cars out of the gate than I ever had before. Played the last couple of regular content seasons. I would do the same if I bought FH5 in the future. I played the crap out of it on Game Pass. But ran into a glitch where it never deletes old saved tunes and I eventually ran out of space and couldn't save anymore which was very annoying. So I'd like to start over and do it right because a lot of cars just aren't worth messing with. It is possible there are some cars I'd never get back but I collected the whole set in FH5 already and made multiple public tunes for like 85% of them. And there aren't any cars that are just so good they can't be beaten with judicious tuning of relatively common/cheap cars. Even the infamous bone shaker can be beaten with several cheap cars. A Caterham will absolutely thrash the Boner Shaker in FH5 in acceleration and handling in an A Rally config. You just gotta be sly enough to not get hit hard. Even in FH4, this is true, though it isn't quite as pronounced.
@Lurch-Bot oh I completely agree that any car can be fast, I was never great at tuning but had a lot of fun trying to race in multiplayer with my own car choices. My cars tended to be pretty quick for a bit but absolutely on a knife edge so I'd probably make a mistake and get beaten over a race distance (especially as I always felt that changing a car to 4wd was kinda cheating). Tbh you're right that I should probably just start again but I'll miss everything I did and unlocked before! (Especially my Ultima, that thing was a beast... Just pretty untameable)
Looks like YT is pulling these automatically, unless it's indeed a feature that you can switch off while uploading Also yeah, we prefer the original voice 😎
@@Ti-Sonic Looks like YT needs to work on the implementation. It happened in some other videos that only the translated tracks were available at first. After some time, playback started with the original language with a few others as options.
For those who wonder, yes, you'll be able to play online even after the delisting, unless there's another announcement saying they're pulling the plug on the servers. *EDIT: Last Festival playlist already got stopped after the #77, and it's currently useless to play the Seasonal events unless you really want to. All of the other online mode remains playable, though.* The only thing you'll miss out on though by getting it now is for the Car Packs, i believe only the free ones have been kept.
On infinite roll? Wasn't the festival seasons brought to a complete stop? I remember them announcing that some achievements connected to the festival can no longer be completed.
@@Gr3yCard1nal True about the achievements, however the way they dealt with the season feels like an infinite roll of the same one, which is the opposite of that i thought that would happen. i slolwly noticed i was suddenly starting piling up quite a lot of Ford Pumas in my garage, until i noticed it's a featured car of season 77, so the car is pretty much loosing its " Hard-to-Find status...and as a whole, unless you really like the Puma, you're better off not playing the Seasonal events anymore at that point, should've probably worded that better i guess EDIT: fixed it in the main post ^^
This is insane. This was a flagship title, and I LOVE this particular open world. The countryside is just beautiful. All these delistings lately really a tragedies.
I played it a lot back when it released. I think I had a RX480 8gb back then and I remember it running 4k with 58ish fps with that. Which surprised me and I still don't believe it to a point that I maybe remember it wrong and it wasn't even low settings.
got it on steam just after the announcement, tempted to get it for my xbox too now while I can. Also don't forget if you missed getting it before the delisting cdkey websites will probably still have keys for sale to get it.
This is an example of physical media being forever. This game isn't even that old and it's being delisted. It truly shows you don't own games anymore. You simply rent them long term.
"You simply rent them long term." that's how it is written in Steam Subscriber Agreement and it's been there since Steam was created. Don't act like it is a big surprise. And FH4 is being delisted because of licenses expiring. It's simple business.
You are confusing what is happening here with what happened recently to whatever the other game was that was Killed by "It's Developers" NOT Delisted by Steam This just won't be available for purchase from Steam Shop, it doesn't mean it will disappear from your Steam Library & won't be playable. I have SpinTyres which was Delisted years ago when it was replaced with MudRunner, it's still in my Steam Library & can be played whenever I want
What specs you have ?, this game ran run on most crap pc as long you dont use really crap gpu like intel hd, gt 730 or slower . If you have gpu that perfrom like gt 1030 ddr5 or higher it should handle the game
That seems like a windows 10 problems. When i play it on windows 11, it works fine but not the case with windows 10. It used to run well on win 10 but now it seems like Microsoft is removing support so users can migrate to win 11....not sure tho
@@desupernoodle It is literally the best driving game of all time. Sure, it's still I think in early access, but it's never really felt incomplete to me, it's definitely not buggy or anything like that. If it were EA or Microsoft they would have shipped version 1.0 ages ago and were selling us bunch of DLC's. BeamNG y'all, check it out! full price only like 25$. Oh, and there is also Steam workshop. So tons of free mods.
Great video! We have the same perspective that "older" games are very fun if you've never played them and they run great on "older" PC's. BONUS! They run like butter on newer PC's / vid cards @ 4K. Finally, good job giving viewers a heads up when a game they might LOVE is on sale! That is my M.O. too!
@@JaguarXJ I stumbled on it, I opened the xbox app and iwas looking for forza horizon 4 and it was listed for 10 euro with a message special offer for you.
Thanks for the heads up. Just as I bought Forza 4 my home network connection went down so I can't download it (not with tethering to my phone anyway!) as always, keep up the good work fella :D
@@RandomGaminginHD Not only that, but there are also several (I assume AI generated) audio tracks, german being one of them. I don't mind the option, but I would like it if RUclips would just let me keep the original title
"There are even Ford Transit vans driving about, albeit more sensibly and slower than I'm used to seeing" I don't even live in the UK and this made me LOL. I may have to get this game!
Is there anyway you can start recording in 4K? RUclips seems to be horribly compressing 1080p videos lately causing them to look really bad on 4K displays. Thanks, love your channel! Shame they are delisting this.
Is that the case directly after upload or still the case much later? Idk how it's now but some time ago I think availability started with 360p and then other options appeared.
Dude thank you so much for the heads up! I played the hell out of this game thanks to PC game pass but I never bought it. I went ahead and did as I did not want to lose my hundreds of hours of progress. I was able to get it for 90% off so I got the ultimate edition for $10.
Great game. Something I wanted to add to the assessment you've made of the performance is that this plays well on the Steam Deck too at lower settings, but still looks very good.
You can still play the game, they just can't sell it anymore because some licenses are expiring. It's an unfortunately somewhat common thing with racing games, and it's the same reason the old GRID and DiRT games can't be bought.
Thanks for the tip, as an Essex Lad living in Seattle I NEED this version of Forza, not really for the game but the hooning around the country roads of my misbegotten youth. I just bought the ultimate edition for $20.
I used to play this game all the time on my buddies console and absolutely loved it. So sad that future generations won’t be able to just download it and give it a go.
My favourite part will always will be listening to chrvches and casually driving across whole map and friendly races with randoms on motorway tunnel. I have this in my steam library, will purchase the dlc that i skipped back then. It will always be close to my heart.
Even if this gets delisted, you can still buy a key from a re-seller and redeem it. It entails some extra risk, but as someone who likes the creature comforts that come with buying games on Steam (mostly achievements), it's worth-it to me.
This is probably my favourite game to play on my Ayaneo/Antec Slide 7840U handheld. Runs at about 40FPS on near the highest settings and looks amazing. There's also just something about a car racing game set in the UK, given that so much car content I consume is from the UK starting with good old Top Gear, Fifth Gear, and all the RUclips channels doing their take on the challenges or reviews.
I got 100% achievements in this about 2 years ago, but I still pop in from time to time to enjoy driving around the UK. And the Forzathon events are still active with plenty of people participating, which adds to the fun.
Lovely lovely setting, stunning visuals, singleplayer is a joke and multiplayer is a frustrating grindfest because of course you WANT this shiny new car locked behind paid DLC and shitty set of weekly challanges.
It's so expensive for a game, which is being delisted. I'm of those people, who usually buy "ultimate" editions, because I don't like missing out on content, but I decided to never play Forza Horizon 4 rather than pay this price.
Probably the best horizon game in the entire series, people were so stuck up on the season system being a "gimmick" but in retrospect this game represents a time when Playgrounds games actually listened to what their community wanted to be added into the game, and cared for the love of driving
I love Horizon 4 even if it’s not my favorite. It still holds a special place in my heart for being the first video game I ever bought with my own money.
Man, it's weird seeing a game I used to play so much back in 2018 get delisted. Just picked it up again last month on Steam to play on my Steam Deck and I'm having a blast. Shame others won't be so (legally) lucky soon.
Thanks for reminder. I have added it on my wishlist few months ago for that reason, but somehow I completely forgot. Good thing sale was still going on.
I was never a fan of any sort of driving game, and then during lockdown I started playing FH4 online with a friend's autistic son to give them a bit of a breather, and I bloody love it. It's become one of my favourite games, not only because of the fun we've had together playing it. We also play FH3 and FH5 too, but the setting of FH4 is superlative compared to them, and it just looks so damn good... I've actually been to several of the locations, and live about 20 minutes drive from one of them! (Ladybower Dam)
I have a second-hand gamer PC with a GeForce GTX 1060 card from 2016 and the best compromise for smoothness for me is playing Forza Horizon 4 in 1080p 4:3 aspect ratio with various individual settings either on high or ultra (I'm not bothered by the black bars on either side of my screen). I'm not sure of the exact framerate but I don't notice any stuttering or slowdown the way I did when I was initially playing it fullscreen at 1440p.
I logged into my Steam on friend's PC when we were hanging out at his place, and his 5600+1070ti ran this all maxed 70+ FPS. My 1080 used to run it 100+ on a 1080wide all maxed. Really cool game.
My first forza game was forza horizon, the first one for the xbox 360. I see anything related to forza 2 for the xbox 360 I get huge nostalgia shots. Countless hours in that game, countless races and speeding like a maniac through the colarodo-based map that was the forza horizon 1 map belonging to the xbox 360 port of the game.
I played this back in the time with an i7 2600 and a rx 570 4gb, always at 60fps on high settings, i had to sell the pc and i build a new one just in time for playing this game, even tho i didint have that much money im playing today with a i5 6400 and gtx 1050 2gb at 30fps medium settings, i love this game, its like traveling back in time where everything was better.
That's kinda sad... Man I remember having such a good time in this game on my old Xbox One when it came out, just driving around in different cars and listening to the music on the radio. Especially loved driving at sunset while Midnight City was playing. Ended up with over 1000 hours of just this 💔😢
No matter whatever flaws this game has, how many other better games come after this one. FH4 will always be the best game for me, it's not only a great game it also made me reconnect with my brother playing together like when we were kids
Honestly they could keep updating FH4 and it would never need to be replaced. I started playing FH5 once they stopped doing the weekly seasonal changes and challenges in FH4.
I remember playing this on a first gen i7 with a gt1030. It played fine, with a reasonable expectation of performance in mind. Can't believe it's being delisted. I knew it was only a matter of time since horizon 5 had come out, but at least it's only delisted for now.
Fear not gentlemen. The Piratebay Special Editions of this game will always be available. Thank you games and or digital media presentations community.
Thinking of playing Forza Horizon 4 or 5 and actually playing them are two completely different things to me... On one hand, you imagine awesome physics and well-looking graphics, thinking here it is, finally a game where you can just relax and mindlessly drive your favourite car. On the other hand, you get a tutorial handholding simulator where you have to navigate through endless rows of menus and wait on your phone for the characters speaking in an awfully fake tone to finish and let you finally race in a racing game.
If you can't get it after the sale make sure to Pirate it.
Both.

I wish the sale was more aggressive. Ubisoft gave away TC2 for $1 and that game isn't even being delisted. 80% off is still too low
Hi, unrelated to the video (thanks for the warning about the delisting btw) can you remove the automatic translations, pretty please ?
They are awful and since YT blocks the access to the English title and descriptions for non native speakers it's a struggle. I had to scrap my head for a while to understand what the French title meant.
Also the default audio for me is this laughable machine translated voice and it struggles a lot with the parts name and in general.
I've grown so tired of translated titles that I set my youtube to Estonian, now it is very rare that i see translated titles
You just have to set your location to USA as a workaround.
thought this was a ripoff channel at first. I do have the option to change back in settings for this video..
@@worldhello1234 Sadly it doesn't really help since now French and German video titles are translated to English. And the translation this way is not better, at all.
So far I understand that the only option is in the hand of the video creator to actively disable translations.
This fact is why Forza Horizon 1 is my final Forza game. Honestly it's more fun to emulate Forza Motorsport 1 (Xbox 360) on Steam Deck than play endless spending and catch up on the latest Forza fad game
It was so much more fun than 5. The annoying thing for me is that I played it a lot on gamepass but apparently theres no way to get the save onto steam while you can with 5. Drives me nuts as I'd love to play with some of my old cars on my steam deck
I didn't play 4 all that much and got way better at tuning in 5 so I actually preferred having a clean slate. I got the ultimate version for like $20 on Steam back when they first announced the de-listing so I ended up with more cars out of the gate than I ever had before. Played the last couple of regular content seasons. I would do the same if I bought FH5 in the future. I played the crap out of it on Game Pass. But ran into a glitch where it never deletes old saved tunes and I eventually ran out of space and couldn't save anymore which was very annoying. So I'd like to start over and do it right because a lot of cars just aren't worth messing with. It is possible there are some cars I'd never get back but I collected the whole set in FH5 already and made multiple public tunes for like 85% of them. And there aren't any cars that are just so good they can't be beaten with judicious tuning of relatively common/cheap cars. Even the infamous bone shaker can be beaten with several cheap cars. A Caterham will absolutely thrash the Boner Shaker in FH5 in acceleration and handling in an A Rally config. You just gotta be sly enough to not get hit hard. Even in FH4, this is true, though it isn't quite as pronounced.
@Lurch-Bot oh I completely agree that any car can be fast, I was never great at tuning but had a lot of fun trying to race in multiplayer with my own car choices. My cars tended to be pretty quick for a bit but absolutely on a knife edge so I'd probably make a mistake and get beaten over a race distance (especially as I always felt that changing a car to 4wd was kinda cheating). Tbh you're right that I should probably just start again but I'll miss everything I did and unlocked before! (Especially my Ultima, that thing was a beast... Just pretty untameable)
I just bought it last minute before the steam promo expired. Thanks for the advice, it arrived just in time.
Please disable the automatic translated audiotrack option. It is just awful and decreases the quality of video and you have to disable it every time.
? What do you mean
Looks like YT is pulling these automatically, unless it's indeed a feature that you can switch off while uploading
Also yeah, we prefer the original voice 😎
Imo when it improves (I hate ai voices) it can transfer RUclips into a language learning platform.
@@Ti-Sonic Looks like YT needs to work on the implementation. It happened in some other videos that only the translated tracks were available at first. After some time, playback started with the original language with a few others as options.
Ah i had nothing to do with that didn't know it was a thing haha I'll see if i can turn it off
The fact that its only 6 years old and its getting delisted is insane. Probably not enough people playing horizon 5 lol.
The map in this game is beautiful. Also comes with one of the best Hospital Records Forza Horizon soundtrack.
True. Really pretty looking scenery on this game.
Finished the video and bought it. Wasn't looking for it but can't miss it. Thanks!
For those who wonder, yes, you'll be able to play online even after the delisting, unless there's another announcement saying they're pulling the plug on the servers.
*EDIT: Last Festival playlist already got stopped after the #77, and it's currently useless to play the Seasonal events unless you really want to. All of the other online mode remains playable, though.*
The only thing you'll miss out on though by getting it now is for the Car Packs, i believe only the free ones have been kept.
In relation to this, if you own it already will it be available for download afterward?
@MojoWrangler Yes.
I'd make a backup just in case, though.
On infinite roll? Wasn't the festival seasons brought to a complete stop? I remember them announcing that some achievements connected to the festival can no longer be completed.
@@Gr3yCard1nal True about the achievements, however the way they dealt with the season feels like an infinite roll of the same one, which is the opposite of that i thought that would happen.
i slolwly noticed i was suddenly starting piling up quite a lot of Ford Pumas in my garage, until i noticed it's a featured car of season 77, so the car is pretty much loosing its " Hard-to-Find status...and as a whole, unless you really like the Puma, you're better off not playing the Seasonal events anymore at that point, should've probably worded that better i guess
EDIT: fixed it in the main post ^^
Pirate everything, always, all the time. This is why.
Just to be sure I understand, this is a situation where it's just being delisted, but will be playable after it goes away, right (unlike The Crew)?
Delisted means that you'll no longer be able to buy it, but if you own it you'll be able to download and install it whenever you want.
Yes
Forza Horizon 4 always supported offline play.
@@Juzimaster The Windows Store version you got when buying on Xbox requires internet and can’t be played offline, is the Steam Version different?
This is insane. This was a flagship title, and I LOVE this particular open world. The countryside is just beautiful. All these delistings lately really a tragedies.
I played it a lot back when it released. I think I had a RX480 8gb back then and I remember it running 4k with 58ish fps with that. Which surprised me and I still don't believe it to a point that I maybe remember it wrong and it wasn't even low settings.
My old GTX 1080 would run it at 4K 60fps max settings no issue. The game is really well optimised.
got it on steam just after the announcement, tempted to get it for my xbox too now while I can. Also don't forget if you missed getting it before the delisting cdkey websites will probably still have keys for sale to get it.
This is an example of physical media being forever. This game isn't even that old and it's being delisted. It truly shows you don't own games anymore. You simply rent them long term.
"You simply rent them long term." that's how it is written in Steam Subscriber Agreement and it's been there since Steam was created. Don't act like it is a big surprise.
And FH4 is being delisted because of licenses expiring. It's simple business.
@@koulematon7359 Wrong.
@@koulematon7359 Wrong.
You are confusing what is happening here with what happened recently to whatever the other game was that was Killed by "It's Developers" NOT Delisted by Steam
This just won't be available for purchase from Steam Shop, it doesn't mean it will disappear from your Steam Library & won't be playable.
I have SpinTyres which was Delisted years ago when it was replaced with MudRunner, it's still in my Steam Library & can be played whenever I want
@@shaneeslick Spintires got delisted a month ago. Spintires owners still have to buy MudRunner.
Looks like the Steam sale is extended all the way through delisting, so it's 80% off all the way up until it disappears on the 16th.
I already purchased this game a few months ago but can not play it due to my low-end pc 😅
what are your specs bro?
You are doing everything wrong - purchase parts for your PC, and get the games on high seas 😁
What specs you have ?, this game ran run on most crap pc as long you dont use really crap gpu like intel hd, gt 730 or slower . If you have gpu that perfrom like gt 1030 ddr5 or higher it should handle the game
How low end is your PC because this one of the most optimized game released in the last decade
@@Mystical_Deen indeed it is, if you lock it at 60fps it can even run on a 13 year old i5 2500(at stock speed).
Thanks for the PSA. As a Brit living in the US, I keep returning to this game. I don't miss the 60 mph brake checks, though.
i haven’t even played it yet! crashes immediately as soon as the car loads in
That seems like a windows 10 problems. When i play it on windows 11, it works fine but not the case with windows 10. It used to run well on win 10 but now it seems like Microsoft is removing support so users can migrate to win 11....not sure tho
0:57 or cultural enrichement through diversity
Shutout to BeamNG, a driving game that really deserves attention and only costs few bucks more.
The devs are amazing too, they have done a lot in the last couple years.
@@desupernoodle It is literally the best driving game of all time. Sure, it's still I think in early access, but it's never really felt incomplete to me, it's definitely not buggy or anything like that. If it were EA or Microsoft they would have shipped version 1.0 ages ago and were selling us bunch of DLC's.
BeamNG y'all, check it out! full price only like 25$. Oh, and there is also Steam workshop. So tons of free mods.
Great video! We have the same perspective that "older" games are very fun if you've never played them and they run great on "older" PC's. BONUS! They run like butter on newer PC's / vid cards @ 4K. Finally, good job giving viewers a heads up when a game they might LOVE is on sale! That is my M.O. too!
Ultimate edition 10 euro with game pass
Nice!
Where do you see that? It’s listed at $19.99 on the Xbox store.
@@JaguarXJ I stumbled on it, I opened the xbox app and iwas looking for forza horizon 4 and it was listed for 10 euro with a message special offer for you.
Thanks for the heads up. Just as I bought Forza 4 my home network connection went down so I can't download it (not with tethering to my phone anyway!) as always, keep up the good work fella :D
wtf, why is the yt title in german translated and why it sounds so weird lmao
Edit:
also the description got translated
That’s weird haha
@@RandomGaminginHD Not only that, but there are also several (I assume AI generated) audio tracks, german being one of them. I don't mind the option, but I would like it if RUclips would just let me keep the original title
@@jemandetwas1 fr the translating is not good and annoying every time
I got this game after your first video mentioned it was getting delisted and I was running with a Ryzen 5700G and RX6400 which ran beautifully!!!
Why that part combination? Prices are different in each region but I'm very curious about the thought process.
@@trackingdifbeatsaber8203 I have the Minisforum b550 elite mini and the dock to go with it. the 6400 didn't require aux power
This franchise is known for taking places in exotic locations like Mexico or Australia... While this one is in the British countryside.
It's exotic for people not from the uk haha, like me! Now if they made a dutch forza game... it'd be very flat so probably a bit boring xd
Still better than the Mexico map imo
Britain has snow. Mexico and Australia? Not really.
"There are even Ford Transit vans driving about, albeit more sensibly and slower than I'm used to seeing"
I don't even live in the UK and this made me LOL. I may have to get this game!
Is there anyway you can start recording in 4K? RUclips seems to be horribly compressing 1080p videos lately causing them to look really bad on 4K displays. Thanks, love your channel! Shame they are delisting this.
Is that the case directly after upload or still the case much later? Idk how it's now but some time ago I think availability started with 360p and then other options appeared.
Dude thank you so much for the heads up! I played the hell out of this game thanks to PC game pass but I never bought it. I went ahead and did as I did not want to lose my hundreds of hours of progress. I was able to get it for 90% off so I got the ultimate edition for $10.
It requires Microsoft store and a few other bloatware to work. So if you're using Windows 10's LTSC version it won't work.
That's a bummer. I appreciate you for this important information because I was about to place order and I'm on LTSC
The steam version works like a charm on my LTSC install
@@vladname9267 so no more issues like previous 2019 ltsc? I am on 2021 w10 ltsc
@@theranpan_ some things are obviously not gonna work.
@@theranpan_ Me too, no issues whatsoever
Great game. Something I wanted to add to the assessment you've made of the performance is that this plays well on the Steam Deck too at lower settings, but still looks very good.
Another dev killing a game? Someone call Accursed Farms
You can still play the game, they just can't sell it anymore because some licenses are expiring. It's an unfortunately somewhat common thing with racing games, and it's the same reason the old GRID and DiRT games can't be bought.
Thanks for the tip, as an Essex Lad living in Seattle I NEED this version of Forza, not really for the game but the hooning around the country roads of my misbegotten youth. I just bought the ultimate edition for $20.
Thank you for telling me about this! Went to steam and purchased immediately. This is my favorite of all the Forza games.
I used to play this game all the time on my buddies console and absolutely loved it. So sad that future generations won’t be able to just download it and give it a go.
Thank you so much for making this video, i bought the game this morning and wow it's so much fun and looks gorgeous too!
My favourite part will always will be listening to chrvches and casually driving across whole map and friendly races with randoms on motorway tunnel.
I have this in my steam library, will purchase the dlc that i skipped back then. It will always be close to my heart.
Thanks for this video! I managed to grab the ultimate edition on sale within just an hour before the sale expired lol
Even if this gets delisted, you can still buy a key from a re-seller and redeem it. It entails some extra risk, but as someone who likes the creature comforts that come with buying games on Steam (mostly achievements), it's worth-it to me.
Thank-you so much for bringing this to my attention. I just picked it up. I'm very grateful.
Here in Brazil the game stands at 250BRL at full price and 50BRL at 80% discount, a shame game this old be still so expensive
Yeah. I'm probably going to miss this game out.
This is probably my favourite game to play on my Ayaneo/Antec Slide 7840U handheld. Runs at about 40FPS on near the highest settings and looks amazing. There's also just something about a car racing game set in the UK, given that so much car content I consume is from the UK starting with good old Top Gear, Fifth Gear, and all the RUclips channels doing their take on the challenges or reviews.
I got 100% achievements in this about 2 years ago, but I still pop in from time to time to enjoy driving around the UK. And the Forzathon events are still active with plenty of people participating, which adds to the fun.
fitgirl my beloved
Best Horizon game. If you haven't got it, then get it now!
I have so many memories with this game. I have never played any game for years as much as I played this, hearing this brings tears to my eyes😢
Lovely lovely setting, stunning visuals, singleplayer is a joke and multiplayer is a frustrating grindfest because of course you WANT this shiny new car locked behind paid DLC and shitty set of weekly challanges.
Loved the anecdotal intro about driving in the UK. Gave me a laugh. Cheers!
$12 on Steam - thought it would be much less but those licensing fees demand royalties!
It's so expensive for a game, which is being delisted. I'm of those people, who usually buy "ultimate" editions, because I don't like missing out on content, but I decided to never play Forza Horizon 4 rather than pay this price.
@@theodentherenewed4785 I bought the normal version instead, don't feel like paying so much for the ultimate version
Probably the best horizon game in the entire series, people were so stuck up on the season system being a "gimmick" but in retrospect this game represents a time when Playgrounds games actually listened to what their community wanted to be added into the game, and cared for the love of driving
I love Horizon 4 even if it’s not my favorite. It still holds a special place in my heart for being the first video game I ever bought with my own money.
Man, it's weird seeing a game I used to play so much back in 2018 get delisted. Just picked it up again last month on Steam to play on my Steam Deck and I'm having a blast. Shame others won't be so (legally) lucky soon.
As an Australian (who doesnt get too many games based in Oz), its the reason i bought a physical copy of FH3
Thanks for reminder. I have added it on my wishlist few months ago for that reason, but somehow I completely forgot. Good thing sale was still going on.
they should release it on GOG then. Why the heck not? So sick of all this legalese hell
Thanks for the video, been meaning to pick this up for awhile.
I was never a fan of any sort of driving game, and then during lockdown I started playing FH4 online with a friend's autistic son to give them a bit of a breather, and I bloody love it. It's become one of my favourite games, not only because of the fun we've had together playing it. We also play FH3 and FH5 too, but the setting of FH4 is superlative compared to them, and it just looks so damn good... I've actually been to several of the locations, and live about 20 minutes drive from one of them! (Ladybower Dam)
I have a second-hand gamer PC with a GeForce GTX 1060 card from 2016 and the best compromise for smoothness for me is playing Forza Horizon 4 in 1080p 4:3 aspect ratio with various individual settings either on high or ultra (I'm not bothered by the black bars on either side of my screen). I'm not sure of the exact framerate but I don't notice any stuttering or slowdown the way I did when I was initially playing it fullscreen at 1440p.
Thanks for the heads up, I'd have totally missed this.
I logged into my Steam on friend's PC when we were hanging out at his place, and his 5600+1070ti ran this all maxed 70+ FPS. My 1080 used to run it 100+ on a 1080wide all maxed. Really cool game.
My first forza game was forza horizon, the first one for the xbox 360. I see anything related to forza 2 for the xbox 360 I get huge nostalgia shots. Countless hours in that game, countless races and speeding like a maniac through the colarodo-based map that was the forza horizon 1 map belonging to the xbox 360 port of the game.
I played this back in the time with an i7 2600 and a rx 570 4gb, always at 60fps on high settings, i had to sell the pc and i build a new one just in time for playing this game, even tho i didint have that much money im playing today with a i5 6400 and gtx 1050 2gb at 30fps medium settings, i love this game, its like traveling back in time where everything was better.
Playing this while listening to Top Gear Radio show on the background is epic
That's kinda sad... Man I remember having such a good time in this game on my old Xbox One when it came out, just driving around in different cars and listening to the music on the radio. Especially loved driving at sunset while Midnight City was playing. Ended up with over 1000 hours of just this 💔😢
Thanks for the heads up, truly!
I love playing FH4. Sometimes when I’m bored I’ll hop in a car and just drive around aimlessly for hours
No matter whatever flaws this game has, how many other better games come after this one. FH4 will always be the best game for me, it's not only a great game it also made me reconnect with my brother playing together like when we were kids
Honestly they could keep updating FH4 and it would never need to be replaced. I started playing FH5 once they stopped doing the weekly seasonal changes and challenges in FH4.
Didn't expect you to roast the country of UK in a video
What else would you do if you've actually driven here...
This is one of a good reminder! Thank you, Steve!❤
Might have to get this.. Thanks for the reminder!!
I remember playing this on a first gen i7 with a gt1030. It played fine, with a reasonable expectation of performance in mind. Can't believe it's being delisted. I knew it was only a matter of time since horizon 5 had come out, but at least it's only delisted for now.
Then there are probably some activation servers that will go off line at some point.
I didn't expect this video to be a "life story: British road rage & more"
Bought it a few weeks ago for this exact reason! Loving it!
Thanks for the heads up! Just purchased the game myself.
Fear not gentlemen. The Piratebay Special Editions of this game will always be available. Thank you games and or digital media presentations community.
Thinking of playing Forza Horizon 4 or 5 and actually playing them are two completely different things to me... On one hand, you imagine awesome physics and well-looking graphics, thinking here it is, finally a game where you can just relax and mindlessly drive your favourite car. On the other hand, you get a tutorial handholding simulator where you have to navigate through endless rows of menus and wait on your phone for the characters speaking in an awfully fake tone to finish and let you finally race in a racing game.
