I absolutely agree. My bet is on SO but horizon is most definitely in the conversation. I'd be surprised if it had a metacritic under 90.
It's all about when you drift.
So I guess a combination of both? i really liked the field race but the circuit is a different beast. I really enjoyed drifting around the fields and actually placed first a few times.

Just occurred to me that I will be on holiday while this is released, at least i'll come home to find it ready to go.
The ether is strong with this one. :lol

Did you guys notice there is an insane discount now on the game in Hong Kong store?
Ultimate Edition HK$520 = $67 / 52
Deluxe HK$416 = $54 / 42
VIP Pass HK$79 = $10 / 7,8

LOL, well...that was a good prologue tier/partial game. I don't count that as a demo.
Also, I have the VIP from the LCE and it shows up as $89.99 now.
BOUGHT!

Downloading it now! Can't wait! Is it really similar to the first?
Eons better
Literally everything I wanted in the first game has been integrated. Tuning, rain, epic coastal drives...
Yeah, he knew. I made a date. I had to play this demo, it's one of my most anticipated games.
The open world nature of the game really does make all the difference, though. It feels exciting, always on the edge, like any thing could happen during a race. It's quite fun. It's quite a good looking game for the XBO too. I can't find much to criticize. I'm sure I will find some things since I always do in full games, but so far so good.

Does the rain not accumulate at all on the windshield? I know the wipers are going, but it never really appears to gather in between swipes. However, it does appear to do so on the left hand side of the windshield, where it really isn't in your direct point of view.
This game looks like so much fun!

Much to my surprise the demo was completely installed when I got home, even though the Smartglass app gave me no indication it would be when I downloaded from work.
Not complaining at all, but just weird some people got an indication it would download if auto-on was enabled, and I did not, yet there it was completely downloaded and installed.
Will check it out once I settle in, etc. Cannot wait.

I'm debating keeping my Amazon order (Day One Edition + pre-order car) or just getting the Digital Deluxe Edition since I have that $10 discount now
I'd get the digital version.
I love physical, but this is a game I'll be playing for a long time...and I don't want to dig for the disc.
If there had been a Collectors Edition I would have bought physical. They made that choice for me without one.

Change your store to US, get it for $60 US
How do you know that Sunset Overdrive sucks when the game hasn't even come out yet? I'm not denying that this game is amazing, but I also want to try out Sunset Overdrive
LOL, awesome

Couldn't put it better myself, blown away by the demo so much I've just pre-purchased it.

This game is even more stunning than expected from previous showings. Bravo.
Sorry. Maybe I was too harsh on it. Just from my time with it I did not like it. I thought the gameplay was bad when I played it.
Impressions sound great. Gotta stay strong to go in fresh.
Are the two deluxe editions only available digitally? Not seeing anything on Gamestop.

Laughing for a good minute at this.
Hmm.
First impressions are insane,but I have a couple of negatives. When going off-road the third person cameras give you an advantage in seeing where you are going, but they are way less immersive. But in cockpit/bonnet cam it can be difficult to see the next checkpoint. I would have liked either the red smoke to be higher up so you can see it more easily, or perhaps the checkpoint vertical line to be visible more easily. You can look at the minimal but that is a bit distracting.
Secondly, for me at least the circuit race looked really bad. It was in the wet and the road looked bad (too shiny) and the cars looked like shiny toy cars. Odd because later on in free roam the wet roads looked really good.
And I know in advance that the hidden roads that don't show up on the map are going to drive me insane. Have 39/41 on the demo but can't find any more.

He ain't coming back home
They all show up.
There are definitely roads I drove on that weren't on the map. Do they not count towards the total then?

Really wondering if Ultimate is worth the extra or not. Deluxe seems like it offers the best compromise.
Played more of the demo and did and online freeroam which works really well, had no problems and some great races.
Don't really see peoples gripes with the rain. Looks great to me for an open world game!

Well, couldn't Diablo 3 win Game of the Year for consoles? That game is incredible.
The thing in that red car used to be a person.

Damn this is impressive. That first moment when you go off road... Wow! The controller rumble is just perfect. Incredibly intense bouncing thru a field on bonnet view, adrenaline rush!

Please play the demo with sim handling and no TCS, it's really fun and challenging.
Those don't count. I was actually just competing with you about 20 minutes ago on road finding, lol. Have you gone to all the roads that lead out of the demo area? Or the little half circle roads in the festival center?
