Pretty sure it’ll be like previous Forza game, only available thru Windows store and not on Steam.. Which is a bummer.

I thought it was impressive that Forza 7 is going to run true native 4k at 60fps on the new xbox one x.

I'm sure. But I care 0 honestly. I just want a full spec Forza game (that isn't Horizon) for PC.

That's cool. Will wait probably till the new Xbox/Forza is discounted before getting them though.

Forza apex (forza 6) is available right now on pc.

Apex =/= 6. Not even close. While Apex was/is fun, it's only a small taste of what makes a full Forza game, Forza.

Forza needs a break already. Every year it seems as if an installment is released.

I could agree with this. It's not like they can't update the current Forza and just wait until there's a big breakthrough in computing power for another overhaul (PC and/or game systems).

I'm just excited to finally be able to own a full feature Forza game on PC is all.

As long as people will buy the new release when it comes out in large numbers, they will continue churning them out as fast as they can.

Sales doesn't necessarily = quality and while the games are good, nothing is offered that could not be DLC to previous games. MS did it with the Horizon taking place in Australia. Now that I think of it, this will be the third or forth Forza on the X1. MS needs to expand 1st party beyond Halo and Gears and the never ending Forza.

I absolutely agree with that, but a business isn't going to leave money on the table. I haven't bought a forza game in a long time.

I honestly feel as if Microsoft is making a big mistake by creating a completely new game when they could have continued updating six and just made a PC-optimized port. I'm sure it would have been a lot cheaper, but what do I know?

I only say this because Forza actually comes up in multiple iRacing races that I do, and why it's the only reason most of the sim racers even own an Xbox anymore. It should be a pretty successful game for PC.

I think it has to do with the new xbox one x. They needed a NEW title they could brag is native 4k 60fps capable on the new console.

I can understand this title in that regard then. I honestly haven't been following consoles since becoming part of the "master race" (el oh ****ing l). I need to look into this Xbox One X out of pure curiosity.

Is it the "Scorpion" project by chance? Either way, 4K at 60FPS is impressive regardless of the setup (console, PC, Mac, etc.).

Ya thats it. I like consoles because they are a pretty good bargain compared to pc's lol. I don't need to upgrade every 2 years to keep up with developers, and it only takes a year for hardware prices to plummet.

This is the "scorpio." I've been watching because MS has been hyping the hardware for a while. Looks to be very stout, but as always its up to developers to choose if they use the capabilities. Its 100% compatible with anything for the one s and original one.

I've come to learn that PC gaming is a lot like cars in the respect that usually what is plastered all over social media and other forms of show, isn't what the average Joe is actually competing with himself.

Take my setup (no bragging intended). It's a $2K+ machine, but you could replicate it using other, cheaper (but still as reliable and reputable) brands for about $1,500. You could cut that cost in half if you didn't want to run everything to the max, which is usually negligible compared to the default medium or high settings.

But yeah, for portability and ease of use, it's hard to beat a console. You won't catch me disassembling my rig and carrying it to a party/curious friend's house for sure.

lol I can't justify $1k+ for a decent rig when I only play maybe once a week. Its not uncommon I will go 3-4 months without playing any. Thats why 1-2 year old consoles make sense to me. I give it 1-2 years and the one x will drop to 350-ish in a bundle, which is a bargain IMHO.

I do plan on getting this and keeping my XB1 as a media center or for old games I cannot get on the XB1X.

However, from what I read about certain games, they won't be 4K @ 60 FPS, but rather 4K @ 30 FPS

http://wccftech.com/ark-dev-xb1x-like-gtx-1070/

Everything that works on XB1 will work on XB1X.

Its up to the game developers to choose what frame rate settings they want to use. MS doesn't require 4k @ 60fps.
