It's an open world racer. There are lots of events around the map. Some will be more closed track in nature, while others will allow you to drive literally anywhere, ie, create your own shortcut. The map has no boundaries.
There is structure to it but you do not just go from one race to the next. You drive to them and explore the world in between and if it is anything like the first one you can get distracted by even running over stuff along the road because they have built in a Kudos like system (RIP PGR2).
Pretty much a perfect racer for the A.D.D generation. And with the promise of smooth in and out MP this time it has awesome potential.

I guess in a week or two
It's a racing game that also allows you to avoid the races and just drive around if you feel like it. If you feel like racing, just pull up to one and initiate it.
I know it's Bassnectar because my roommate is a huge fan, but I have no idea of the song title

The Gamersyde version of the trailer is soooo damned clean. Begs to be webm'ed...*hint*
Launch trailer suggests, the game already launched... which it didn't... sadly... I'm sad... soooo sad
Suggests to me that MS is gonna push it hard which makes me happy. 3 weeks till it is out and they are getting the Hype Train on the track!
Holy mother of..... Oh my... I'm so hyped. Nothing comes close to this... What a trailer

He's not talking about that. He's saying that they cut a trailer from in game footage, and then go in and tweak things further. Improved anti aliasing, enhanced motion blur, etc. Meaning that trailer is not exactly representative of the actual game.

Ah, well, the Gamersyde video clearly exhibits some minor aliasing and tiny imperfections. I don't think those would have been left in had this been glossed up in post. It looks like the real deal. Youtube vids and gifs are obviously always very kind to the image quality in terms of hiding things like that.

This looks great.
Here is even more footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLKB3EDFXVA
The environments could be a bit more divers though.
Everything we've seen so far looks pretty much the same.
Compared to The Crew thats a little disappointing, I hope there are more area we just haven't seen yet.

Don't mean to get all dramatic but...
This game speaks to me on so many levels.
My dream racer (with my preferred Physics) in my dream location with my dream music.
Seriously, this is like taking a sunset-cruise in Southern Italy with Digitally Imported radio vocal trance station blaring.
I can not wait for this game.

Do we have proof of this?

This and Halo just might make me get an xbox sooner than I had planned. Looks so good.
Driveclub has the visuals but this game definitely looks like it has the fun.

No, there are many different types of races in it, but also a big ol' sandbox that you drive around in and wreck havok.
A demo in a week or so.
Oh definitely. I always wanted to get into a racing series, like really get into it, but sims never did that for me. I like sim Forza but Horizon hits that sweet spot.Awesome, sounds a lot more interesting than regular Forza/GT type game

We've seen plenty of actual gameplay by now to know what the game looks like. Even if the trailer footage is smoothed out a little (which it may or may not be), the actual game doesn't seem to look very different.
Holy macaroni.
Goddamn Microsoft and your stupid wheel policy, of not allowing us to use our perfectly fine 400+ euro wheels we already purchased for your previous platform. If it wasn't for that, I'd be so hyped for this game right now. Forza Horizon was a great first attempt at open world Forza and this seems to only improve on that foundation.

Of course not. But things do look suspiciously fantastic at times.
Not saying it's a big deal. Publishers do this sort of thing all the time.
I mean, look at this screenshot. It's incredibly clean, and that motion blur on the train is incredibly good.

Best racer of the year right here.
Other racers don't stand a chance, they'd really be better off delaying so as to avoid getting caught in this tremendous games headlights.

Trailer doesn't have that motion blur.
Wow, that looks great.
No dynamic weather in the 360 version, so it'll only be the second-greatest racer of all time.
