Quoting: scaineIt wouldn't even need 5090-like speeds! Who's gonna pay over 2 grand for one of those?? It just needs to be a decent upgrade on their current "flagship" model, which barely competes with the 5070.

Similar for me. I intended to do an upgrade last year, but when the current AMD gen skipped a high end model, I left it to wait for another generation. Knowing what I know now, that may not have been the best choice.

It didn't help that my current monitor is g-sync and that switching colours meant I'd have to go Freesync and get a new monitor as well. Just didn't feel like researching that.

This CPU though, a little above my TDP interests.

Another one gets Rocket League'd.

It is getting pulled because it supports Linux natively. We can't have that, no can we?

I went for the Ryzen7 9800X3D at the tail end of last year and it was already more than I wanted to spend on a CPU! I didn't think any of the Ryzen9 chips were worth the money, tbh. God knows what this will cost when it lands!

I wish AMD would focus on GPUs. Now, more than ever, they could establish themselves competitively in the GPU market. With Nvidia prices being absolutely exorbitant, a half-way decently priced upgrade to the 9700XT would be well received by people like myself still rocking the 6800XT or even the 7900XTX.

Ah well. I can dream.

Such a shame - I've owned Turbo since it's release. It really is a great racing game. I agree with Liam - Why de-list it? Makes zero sense at all. The game isn't even that old. SMH.

Did you have env set in launch option?

It's not a pay to win game, it's a pay to skip the grind game.

If you have not grinded, and you are in the queue against guy who did - who will win?

Even if you win in team vs team, you - will be cannon fodder and he will be cannon fodder killer. Much fun!

Your comment doesn't really make sense. You get matched up with people around the same vehicle unlock level as you regardless of paying or not.

I haven't played the game, but I think he's saying at an equivalent level of vehicle unlock, the one who's spent grinding hours playing the game to get the unlock will almost certainly defeat the one who just bought the vehicle.

Another victim of the collossal cluster-fluff that is Epic Games. Shame, I enjoyed Horizon Chase Turbo. Wouldn't entertain buying the second game on EGS. doesn't exist to me.

I enjoyed FH4 and FH5, but man I hope they do away with all that awkwardness that is the XBox login rubbish. No end of trouble signing in on Linux. That and because the Xbox game bar isn't on linux, connecting with friends meant I had to mess around with my phone app which was inevitibly clunky, unreliable and too hard basket. Effectively, it was a single player game to me. It still daunts me to think about going through it all again in FH6. Yes it 'works' on Steam Deck and Linux, but does it work 'well'?

It's not my experience, maybe they do it a little, but usually when you clear them and drive well enough, they don't catch up if you are faster than them. The problem is also moot when you are playing multiplayer, as its usually all real players in the front.

Yeah, I saw your comments on the related Github issue, I'll try as soon as possible.

Not saying it's the case here, but sometimes these delisting announcements are meant to incite FOMO buying in game collectors and people who are still on the fence. Plus free publicity and all that.

Game preservation takes another hit.

And "piracy" gains new fans, as usual. After all the game is preserved and will most likely still be available, just involuntarily.

This could pair wonderfully with the Epoch 2 release of Cosmic later this summer / year. If this 64b containerized steam comes out of beta around then, I will flash to an entirely new cutting edge system wooo!

I used to play the first game a lot. Then out of the blue the CEO decides to sell his soul to Epic. First thing they did was close the leaderboard, citing some BS about the difficulty in maintaining it with the release of the second game. And of course they canceled the second game coming to Steam and a potential Linux version.

To say I was pissed with all of that is a understatement. And of course, I didn't drop a tear after hearing previous news about they letting people go from Epic Brazil. And now this. Like they say, if you make a deal with the devil, you will end regretting it.

Quoting: DrakkerSuch a shame. This is the best racing game ever. Nothing else comes close. I have not played the sequel as its never been on Steam, but from watching videos, it doesn't look better than the first game. I suspect the first game on Steam might still sell better than the sequel on EGS.

Searches hint to rubber-banding opponents? That would be a no thanks for me than...

Still, doesn't really make a lot of sense why they're delisting it when thinking on it. No special vehicle licenses, no track licenses needed and no online features to keep funding - why is it being just removed? Sometimes the industry just doesn't make sense.

Weird indeed. The best I can imagine is that it's removing competition for the second Epic-only game.

Nope. I'm still not buying stuff from Microsoft, but I'm glad some Linux gamers will be able to enjoy it.

Epic is currently one of the most destructive forces in the game industry. 😫

Too bad, I don't understand why they would do this. Oh well, another company to watch out for.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyThat's NEVER gonna happen - Tim Sweeny is openly anti-Linux, and he's quite vocal about it, too. If you're really keen, you can play it on your Stream Deck via Remote Play... It takes a bit of mucking around to get the settings just right, so gameplay is smooth; but it works.

I wouldn't be that cynical about it, it's always possible especially as Linux continues to grow. But unlikely? Definitely

I have no problem if I had to pay to play game. One time fee or 2$ a month. All on equal terms.(and yeah, i get it, progression and all). But not current way...

Fantastic news! I was afraid it would be as unplayable as the last Forza.

Always been a fan of the more casual FH setting and Tokyo is the setting I wanted for years. Will definitely pick this one up.
