wow.  the forza games are actually pretty good.  I thought they were XB exclusives though?  I dunno.

could not care less about that game

Nice, can simulation the heck out of this with the pedals and feedback steering wheel. If it comes with VR even better.

I've never played a Forza game where the steering felt right

Amazing racing series.

But its on the pc now. Better graphics and possibility to change it.

I played Forza on 360 loved the game. Im geeked to play this free on Windows 10

Just trying to bait us windows 8 holdouts.

I would think that Forza is a perfect example of a game that would be better using a xbox than a PC

It is releasing soon. It says 'this spring'  so hopefully very soon!
Really excited to play it! 
Forza+ Direct X 12 + 4K = Awesome
I think Forza is the best racing series out there.

double check though. To be honest i would be surprised if the PC version of the game goes beyond 1080p. 
would you happen to know?

Meh, if they were going to try and tempt people to use Win 10, they should have chosen a much better game than Forza, which tbh, really is an odd choice for PC, perhaps thats why they are giving it away rather than trying to actually sell it, either that or the whole Quantum Break thing didn't tempt enough people to switch to Win 10 and Microsoft is starting to get a bit desperate, wonder which game they will try next ?
Maybe we should start a dead pool, see which game Microsoft will try to bait Win7/8 users with!

Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is an invitation for Windows 10 PC gamers to join millions of Forza players worldwide and experience thrilling racing, addictive gameplay and stunning graphics.

Arriving on the Windows Store this spring and available for free, Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is a powerful demonstration of what the ForzaTech™ engine can do when unleashed by DirectX 12 at resolutions up to 4K. Developed by Turn 10 Studios, Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is the first step in Microsoft’s commitment to creating amazing Forza experiences for Windows 10 PC gamers.

actually surprised and I have to take back an old prediction which was that they would basically make no change between PC and console.

that said and aside, you have a 4K monitor?

I can answer that question and my answer is somewhat different than most who arent looking to get Win 10. My answer (in the context of the games) is that Win 10 doesnt bring to the table any games I personally care about.

Quantum Break does not come out until April. Forza is massively popular. Plus it has support for Racing Wheels and Pedals. There is a large market for Racing games on PC. Look how well the recently released Dirt Rally has done just on Steam alone.
Your continued trolling of topics you have no interest in appears very petty.

I think the people getting hyped about Win 10 are people who have consoles. The so called 'PC Gamer' who doesnt have a console or is meh about consoles in general cant find it in themselves to get excited.

to note my use of the phrase 'so called PC Gamer'
I can assure you with 100000% confidence that prior to Microsofts PR campaign on putting a twist on 'PC gamer' I would not have to have used the term 'so called'

I can understand that. I am (and have been for awhile now) more hyped about Vulkan API
