Italian Automotive update (Series 24) | Forza Monthly livestream August 11

I have never been, but always wanted to.
Enjoy!

I wish they would quit making the cars seasonal exclusives. I don’t have time to play all day long and when the game erases my progress on the playlist…

Anyway I would really like to see the seasonal exclusives in a dlc.
If you would like to see that too vote here:

I would be fine with new cars in the playlist and recycled cars in the autoshow. That seems like the better option.

I think it takes less than an hour to get the season exclusive car per season and if you can spare more than two in your week, it should be enough for all optional extras too.

If you’re going to a hotel in Italy with a TV and wifi, you could just bring the console with you. Unless you play on PC.

I’m not sure how that’s going to work. If he owns a physical copy, it won’t work because discs are regional-based. The US and Europe use different regional names, such as NTSC or PAL (Phase Alternating Line) for example.

You also need to take into account that Europe uses different socket layouts. Here in the US we have a simple three-prong system with rectangular holes, though most plugs will take two. Europe has different models. Can anyone provide pics of different sockets?

Also Europe uses different plugs for the socket. Just saying. It is possible to buy regional-specific socket adapters in stores, especially if you’re traveling.

Has ever since the introduction of HDMI anyone had to deal with those ancient analog picture standars? I don’t think so.

But for the rest of it to power up the console, Italy (as well as many other [all of them] European countries) has a 230V 50Hz grid so (US-EU) power converter is mandatory.

Just google for those. Pretty easy to find.

A new Instagram post shows the 124, both the OG and the heavy new one, along with 131, and the 500 small classic + the larger late model.

Believe me it takes more than that. I play on an Xbox one s and it lags so much and is very slow, so it takes a long time. I don’t have the money or space to upgrade.

Also my console deletes my progress every time it restarts, so it is nearly impossible to get it done in about a week.

Sounds like you got some major problems with your setup. I would just uninstall if the game is more of a chore than fun past time.

I’ve wanted t10 to look into it. Even submitted a ticket to Forza support, but none of it matches what I’ve experienced.
It’s unfortunate spending about $85 on a game and then it turn out like that.

I’m well-aware of that. I was suggesting he take his console from where he currently lives with him. I didn’t start gaming yesterday.

Now this part, I will admit, I did not know.

Small USB 3 SSDs can be had for what, $30 or so now? They make a massive difference over the internal 5400rpm disk.

I have been looking at a 8tb drive for my console. Maybe that would help.
By upgrade I meant that I can’t get an Xbox series X. I might be able to increase the storage. Got to get more money.

Why would this have an effect on anything? Would his console just reject the disc because he is in Italy? Does the console know where he is?

And is there no adapter of some kind for a European plug/socket?

@SmokiestGecko93 , don’t listen to any of these “take your xbox with you” people. Rent a real Italian car, drive those wild Italian roads, take videos. Make us all jealous! Live the fantasy!

Sounds like you’re looking at a HDD. Don’t do it. Speed is critical here.

Hey, nobody was saying he shouldn’t do that too…

Now THAT’S a vacation!

This is the correct response, however beware, Italian drivers…

this is a big moment for the game. devs have to know if they mishandle it, they probably lose lots of players for the rest of the games life. I don’t care much about the cars - and I wouldn’t go comparing performance of anything vs FH4, so much has changed since then. I’m more interested in how they navigate the actual release in the face of all the criticism and skepticism.
