Forza Horizon - Fall 2012 - Developed by PlayGround Games

I was stoked reading all of that until I came to this:

"However, the option for engine swaps and drivetrain conversions was missing from the pre-release version of the game that I played and likely the final game, which was disappointing."

Yeah, I am NOT happy about that.

I can deal with this cuz I didn't do many engine swaps and only very rarely messed around with drivetrain swaps. I know a lot of people will be pretty disappointed, though. There has to be some concessions, I guess. I'm impressed they're including as many of Forza's customization features as it is.

I'm happy to hear that he said the physics were still good. I'm skeptical that they're 'the same' or 'better' than Forza 4's like he said, but we'll see.
 
Mustang (car) vs. Mustang (plane) is a more interesting slice of gameplay than I was expecting. If the rest of the game shows that kind of creativity than maybe I could be interested.

When I saw this all I could think of is Top Gear. I'm sure this was a challenge they did. Maybe not this car/plane combo but I know they've done a car/plane challenge before. But there is no top gear partnership this time around right?
 
Game does look good in that video (if a little orangey-brown). Character animation and expression was particularly impressive.
Looks like fun!
The 30fps will kill me inside though. Roll on next-gen!
No weather confirmed yet? It's still in, right?

Yeah, they did a small plane/car challenge a few years ago. They've done airliners too of course, but that's on somewhat of different level.

I'm not sure if there's any partnership for Horizon. I don't believe so, but I havent paid that close attention.

(it boils down to "Forza 1 was great, everything that followed it was trash") for years now. There's really little need for anyone familiar with him to read his posts, we all know what he's going to say. And again. And again. And again. Ad nauseam.

Mind you, nobody's calling for his ban or anything like that. He's certainly free to voice his opinion, but we're also free to use the tools at our disposal to remove it from the feed if we deem he has nothing valuable to add to the discussion.

when have i ever said that? if you ever read my posts under fender uk on the forza 2 thread you'd see i loved that game despite many features missing from the first game. but to me forza 3 was a huge step down in terms of career structure and overall gameplay. forza 4 was a step in the right direction with sim steering but still they added more and more bullshit and ignored many core fans (like me) criticisms. how long have we been complaining about lack of tracks? and obvious inaccuracy of tracks and cars. but nooooooooo they wont fix any of that because thats not what gets the arcade kids interested, lets introduce kid assists like auto braking and rewind which completely ruins the point of competitive racing. lets add in bullshit top gear to get that dumb audience to play our game, and hey lets add a warthog to get halo kids to buy our game, fuck what the core gaming expiernece is, you cant have spa or bathurst or a even close to accurate nurburgring. of course i still enjoy the new forzas to agree thats why i own every single forza game but the fact they ignore all this shit for too long and spend their budget on gimmicks pisses me off. imo ;)

A Ford driving across a fjord?
A Chevy Impala racing a real impala?
A Subaru jumping over Scooby Doo?

Come on, people - there must be loads of these!

Ok finally, some good info. Very excited about the 'story'. Some life in Forza is always welcome. Hype increasing..

Can someone please post some gifs of the ending of that Gamespot video?
Lol, the dude with the glasses needs to be seen..smugness at it's greatest..

In the Gamespot comments he said it was 60FPS.

No, it's not. It's 30 FPS. =P

Weak. I hope it doesn't drop at all. I love Forza because of that, this kind of deflates my anticipation.

EDIT: After a couple google searches it seems they did it because of the day/night cycle and visual flare. Those things aren't as important to me unfortunately. I'd rather stay at 60 and work from there. F4 looks amazing and I was hoping this would be an open world F4.

You see, the game has a massive open world with day & night cycle, etc. They had to make some sacrifice. But it seems that it's butter smooth 30 FPS. I see no problems with that if they put up a really good motion blur effect...
 
This game looks awesome, i like it a lot. About Porsche f*** EA, i wont buy Most Wanted because of this.

Badned, can Turn10 get Gemballa´s and Techarts (some games have them) too instead of just RUF, normally RUF doesnt have a good styling in my opinion and some TechArts are way better.

Yeah, just read that interview they had. I'll still most likely get it (my Fanatec setup has been sitting dormant for too long!) and hopefully it's not as noticeable as I think it might be lol.
 
The more I think about that video and see those gifs, this game reminds me a LOT of Midnight Club LA, the whole finding races, cruising around, cut scenes.

I now really want this game.
