I get more of a test drive unlimited 2 vibe but maybe that's just me?
(I LOVED TDU2 by the way)
A lot of what I'm hearing about DriveClub seems to suggest that it is a PGR successor.
Two PGR successors?
Glad to be a multi console owner.
DriveClub looks to be more of a spiritual PGR successor than Horizon 2, which is seems to be a tad more Need for Speed or Midnight Club if anything, with the crazy off road stuff, following trains and planes, on-coming traffic, doing jumps and all the rest. PGR was never that random, nor was it ever open world.
Having played [DC] at the last two E3's I gotta say I don't really see where the PGR comparisons are coming from (as a fan since Metropolis Street Racing). If anything, Horizon 1 (and 2 from what little I played) are much more PGR-y in gameplay feel, points-racking fun, and overall spirit than DC.
Yup, I feel they've got it ass backwards here. DriveClub, apart from the city street racing, is pretty much exactly what I'd expect out of a PGR game, both in terms of handling model but also style of action and an emphasis on making things very pretty.
Horizon is more like Test Drive Unlimited, but even then, I wouldn't really say Horizon is a 'spiritual successor' to anything. Its just a massively improved sequel to Horizon 1, which kind of paved its own path by merging the established Forza franchise with an open-world game design.
That's exactly how it happened as well. There was a lot of feedback in the Forza 2/Forza 3 days about how people would love the car selection, customization and handling of Forza, but in an open-world design. And Test Drive Unlimited was often named in particular, "Oh how great would TDU be with Forza physics?" and whatnot.This is what I was thinking. Horizon seems like it was capitalizing on a bit of the Test Drive Unlimited potential, but more than anything was about the Forza brand expanding past sim customers.
The Twitch stream they did at GamesCom showed quite a bit of the biggest city, right at the start. Looks to be pretty decently-sized. Definitely seems bigger than the main town in Horizon 1.
The rest of it's a good watch too, if you haven't seen it already.

Get ready to be disappointed.
None of them are looking close to the PGR games.
For one thing, there are no city tracks & racing is on long boring straights & not on twisty. tight grid like streets.
This was the best for Bulldog. My gosh man.I stand by that. And did you know you could unlock entire cities in PGR and free roam all the roads?
Everyone suddenly loves PGR now.
Where were you when PGR4 sold like 38k it's opening month?
The skill points are quite similar but theres a fundametal difference, in PGR you werent rewarded for crashing to touching objects, so keeping combos took a lot of skill, in Forza Horizon you can get points for destroying objects which makes combos real easy to achieve.
I have gold but 99.9% of my FH playtime was solo and i had fun with it.Does this game require Gold to enjoy it?
can you just play it as a single player game and have fun?
What? I'm pretty sure every entry sold around 1-2 million. I've bought every entry since PGR1. It is the only racing series that I can say I LOVE and not just like. If Forza Horizon 2 is anything like PGR in the demo next week I'll be there day 1.

I think such a bold statement deserves a new thread. Don't forget to get the demo September 16![]()
PGR 4 was a bomb, I bought it day one but the mass majority of 360 owners looked past it.

I'm guessing it's safe to assume the physics and driving model will be pretty similar to FH1? I love PGR and arcade racers, but FH1 was too "Forza 3 on Arcade settings" for me instead of feeling like an arcade racer. Couldn't get into it, which is keeping my excitement low for FH2 even though it looks great visually and content-wise.
Man. Right when I have to send in my xbone for repairs something awesome comes out.
