From first trailer
Just like FM4 features dirt racing, night racing and the Dubai racetrack, oh wait...
You have a source for this ?
I'm pretty sure they're still linked to them for several years unfortunately...

I agree. I hope this game is exactly like what you described.
I would play that game so damn much.
Well, IIRC the Porsche deal was still inked between Turn 10 and EA.
Also, it seems EA cockblocked some cars (most notably the 917K and the 918RSR) from the Expansion Pack as we know Turn 10 wanted to include them in FM4 day one (had Porsche been there then).
You need to buy one for PGR4 alone

I want a PGR5 so bad right now.

Hoping the cockpit view has a windscreen. That'd be a Forza first.

Hey guys. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm extremely excited about this game.

That did almost get me to bite. There's been a lot of almosts, but nothing could quite get me to pull the trigger.
I need to get my real car paid for before I can worry about virtual ones!! But I'll be watching this game for sure.

I'm in the same situation. It's kinda late to get a new Xbox 360 this late in the gen. I'll wait after E3 and probably get a used one.
Yeah, good thinking.

I noticed that too, but I am hoping it is just from the press shots. Although I do know certain manufacturers do not want their cars racing through traffic. Honda removed thier cars from the old Tokyo Xtreme Racer games because of that.

One would hope Microsoft used a bit of foresight and had Horizon in the same Porsche deal as Forza 4...
I don't know if this was a rumour in this thread or another, but I thought the plan was to have AI driving around playable car models everywhere as the traffic.

Money talks!
The car chosen is the least of the box art's injustices.

skeptical about forza 4 physics - i don't think we can expect as many parameters to be taken into account - but handling could still feel the same, which would be a first for open world racers.
From those closeups of the viper, car models also look the same quality. Even shaders and lighting look the same.
It really looks like an open world Fm4 and i'm sure we can expect a lot of features from horizon to be included in fm5, i can see the two teams sharing assets, tricks and whatnot.
If that's the case, though, in a few more iterations i don't think it will still make sense to have these as two separate series.

That horrendous pink. Cant believe they are sticking with it.
It truly blows goats.
Looks like a supermarket special offer, twenty percent off cabbages or something.
I'm still not sure I'll ever be able to get past the inevitable BroDudeness in Horizon. Couple this with the (likely) halving of the frame rate and I'm still wondering about the risk Dan's taking with the reputation of the Forza brand.
Same as in TDU for example.
It is road racing, not closed circuit, so it probably has to do with some regulations.
Also, we can pretty much presume there will be character customisation, hence the "civil" looks and commercial potential to buy clothes and accessories for the RL moneyz
Damn, the conference starts in less than 10 hours, I can't wait to see this game moving.

I don't get the uproar about the pink label. Real men don't have to fear pink. Man up, kids. The Viper on the cover is way more offensive.

Can we all just agree that the whole cover is rubbish?

What kinda MS Paint boxart.
This game seems destined to flop.

Fourth Forza game this generation, late in the system's life, departs from series roots and has a cover that looks like it belongs in the bargain bin.
Has flop written all over it. It sounds promising enough, though.
Third game.

This box art thing is the stupidest argument I have ever heard of.
