Forza Horizon 4: Livin' the Series Life

In case you really really really missed it, Forza Horizon 4 has now been enhanced for Xbox Series X and Series S users since the launch of the newest Xbox consoles.

What that means is thanks to the strengths of the newest Xbox console, playing Forza Horizon 4 has never felt so alive and thanks to the console's speed and power, loading times have been sharply cut to near none, meaning if you are going to start the game right now, it really means right now. Don't worry though because most of the progress you've worked so hard in this game while on Xbox One is already carried over from the Series X upgrade. Of course, you still need to install most of the DLC packs including the Fortune Island and LEGO Speed Champions expansion you've bought from it to get the most out of it.

To experience the difference the Series X/S enhanced version of FH4 can do, let's redo some of the finales in the game starting with the time I've driven the McLaren Senna at The Goliath. Roll the tape!

Courtesy of the folks from Panic Button, the Series X/S enhanced version of Forza Horizon 4 is more dynamic, livelier, and sharper than the original Xbox One version, giving you plenty of reasons to enjoy your British escapades even more. Of course, results may vary because if you are planning to record the whole thing, well knock yourselves but remember; while recording FH4 gameplay video on the Xbox Series X or S, recording 1080p videos is limited to four minutes while less-quality but compact 720p ones are limited to 10 minutes, which is enough to record the whole Goliath track attack but it's hard to tell.

Now, let's redo the time the Urus takes on The Leviathan at Fortune Island and the LEGO McLaren Senna takes on the LEGO Goliath at LEGO Valley, just to take a much deeper look at how much difference the Series X/S enhanced version of Forza Horizon 4 made for your driving pleasure.

Roll the tapes!

Although it's hard to tell the difference, let's remember that thanks to the capabilities of the newest Xbox console, playing Forza Horizon 4 never felt so alive with more dynamic graphics and lesser loading times. Of course, even while you're playing this game on a new console, you can still expect great content coming up to this game.

Your British escapades just got better. Welcome back to Forza Horizon 4.

FH4 LEGO Speed Champions: Here comes a new challenger!

LEGO masters of the world, listen up! The Series 19 update of Forza Horizon 4 introduces us to our newest addition of the LEGO Speed Champions range and if you got your hands on the FH4 LEGO Speed Champions expansion and fully built your Master Builder's House, a new challenger awaits you...



Yes, it says Chiron but don't be fooled because our newest LEGO friend on the valley is none other than, you guessed it, a Bugatti Chiron!





The latest addition of the LEGO Speed Champions fleet is yours to unlock by beating the newly added LEGO Bugatti Chiron Speed Champions race, where you will be driving this against a real Bugatti Chiron. In case you're wondering, here's the clip that sums it up really good.

The LEGO Speed Champions Bugatti Chiron is the kind of LEGO Speed Champions car you won't find anywhere else in the catalog because as far as I know it, it only exists in the FH4 LEGO Speed Champions world, although a similar LEGO version of the Bugatti Chiron is somewhere out in the open but only a handful of LEGO masters can assemble a moving Chiron by themselves. Of course, we've seen lots of LEGO masters built a life-sized LEGO version of the Chiron as well as a LEGO Technic version of it but for the Speed Champions Chiron, this LEGO-fined version of Bugatti's latest hypercar is awesomeness to the next level. It maybe in LEGO form but it still works like a Bugatti Chiron. Sounds like one too.



To see if it lives up to its name, I've lined up some LEGO cars at the drag strip and then set off for a drag race. Roll the tape.

Bugatti and LEGO are an incomparable partnership like no other and although they made two different things, they share the same goal and this LEGO-fied Bugatti Chiron is what pushed this collaboration to stratospheric heights.

Enjoy this LEGO-fied Chiron when you got your hands on it because you're going to need it.

FH4 LEGO Speed Champions: Our new LEGO Friend

Having managed to fully build the Master Builder's House, I've gained a LEGO-related Barn Find rumor hidden throughout the LEGO Valley and just as I thought, I'm done with the treasure-hunting stuff like I did in Horizon UK, looks like there's more work to be done because that barn find in LEGO Valley truly means something.
\


After some extensive thorough investigation, the Barn Find hidden throughout LEGO Valley is located Northwest and it's about 2.1 miles from the Master Builder's House. Without further ado, let's find out what's inside.



So, what's the LEGO Barn Find that I just found? If you answer is a LEGO Speed Champions 1974 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0, then you are exactly right.



This barn find is the fourth LEGO Speed Champions Car in the roster and even if its made mostly out of LEGO bricks, it still behaves like the legendary 930 911 Turbo 3.0, one of the icons that emerged during the heyday of the global energy crisis.



With the LEGO Porsche up and running, want to hear her roar through LEGO Valley? Great. Hold on tight because it's going to be bumpy.



The LEGO Porsche 911 truly is a barn find only a LEGO Master Builder will keep and master it and if you want one, you'd better achieve your Master Builder status to hunt one for yourself and when you are patient enough to have one, this could be the LEGO car you want to keep.

FH4 LEGO Speed Champions: Special Delivery!

While spending the rest of the Winter Season checking the list straight from the Horizon Playlist, feels like I got bored of staying in the UK since almost all of the races I've been through are checked out but since I got the keys to the LEGO valley, it would be the perfect time to introduce some of the prize cars I've obtained a while for a little field trip round LEGO valley, where everything's awesome.







And look what I got here taking a little stroll round LEGO valley; a 991.2 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, a Fiesta rally car from GYMKHANA TEN, and the AMC Rebel "The Machine". These are the prize cars most people obtained from this season's playlist, well two of them are really, but anyway, with nothing else to do at the homeland, they've went to this very place where they can show off their awesome stuff under the bonnet so let's show us your moves.





Having showed their awesomeness in this awesome new place, looks like I might be hanging around in LEGO valley for sometime now. Speaking of which...



I managed to get all the LEGO bricks I need to obtain a LEGO Ferrari F40 and now that I got it, it's time to put this LEGO car to the test against a real Ferrari F40 Competizione. If I beat the real one, I can keep it with no strings attached. So, is a working LEGO car faster than a real car? Let's roll the tape.



Man, who knew handling a LEGO-fied Ferrari is a lot trickier than the real one? But still, after a fast fight, the LEGO car has beaten the real Ferrari and now, I can keep it with no questions asked.

There are still so much to do in the LEGO valley and until the Master Builder's house is fully built as drivers hoped for, the journey continues...

FH4 LEGO Speed Champions: First step to awesomeness

Forza Horizon 4 teamed up with LEGO to bring drivers the "awesome" expansion known as the Forza Horizon 4 LEGO Speed Champions and I'm trying it now to see how awesome the world of LEGO is on Forza Horizon 4.



In FH4 LEGO Speed Champions, players explore the LEGO Valley taking on the Brick Challenges to become the Master Builder and in due course, the LEGO Speed Champion. In a world full of LEGO bricks waiting to be smash themselves into pieces (and then rebuilt), life couldn't get as awesome as residing in LEGO City. Huhehe...



Having a taste of what the LEGO Valley is, this is my first LEGO car of this awesome new adventure; it's a LEGO Speed Champions version of the classic Mini Cooper that dominated rally racing in its heyday. It maybe a LEGO car but it still behaves like a real Mini Cooper so it's awesome in every single way. In order to test its awesomeness, I went to Area 7052 to have a blast on this LEGO-fied Mini. Take it away.



As you may know, every time you complete a brick challenge, you will gain bricks and if you earn enough bricks, you can expand your Master Builder's house as well as gaining awesome rewards. Easier said than done but you get the point.



Oh, and you can bring your Forza cars here in the LEGO Valley as well, just like back at Fortune Island. One such example is the Fiat Dino, a V6-powered classic Italian sports coupe that I got from the Autumn Horizon Playlist recently and now, it's spending a breath of fresh air in this awesome new world. Okay, let's see what this classic Italian grand tourer can do in the world of LEGO.



So, there you are, an awesome new adventure, an awesome new challenge, and some awesome prizes to take home, the world of LEGO is always open for everyone who wish their life will be as awesome as...them, and with the FH4 LEGO Speed Champions, you will have an awesome time exploring the world of LEGO by all means necessary.

Enjoy your stay at the LEGO Valley!
