Wow, fuck, you're right...

So I should pretend to enjoy those franchises? Is that how not to be a troll?

Anybody know how they are handling multiplayer in this game? I wasn't able to join an online mode in the demo. Can i join a match made lobby that starts everyone in a race at the same time? I did not like the way this was handled in the latest NFS and the wording in the OT has me worried.
Holy fuck, you're right. reviews are tomorrow! Can't wait.
yup.

Will reviews hit at midnight or is this a game that doesn't get a ton of reviews once the embargo is up?
Now hold on there for just one second.

It's one of Microsoft's biggest platform exclusives for the fall, I'm sure the big guns will have reviews ready for embargo, unless they are waiting for retail servers to deliver their verdict.
Online Road Trip puts you into the open world with the other players, everyone has to race to the same place.Once there the game picks 4 races/events for you all to do.After that you get a new place to race to and it begins again.
It's a bit like NFS Most Wanted(2012) if you've played that.
If the impulse triggers weren't as good as they are, I'd have been too annoyed by the generational drop for legacy wheel support to grab the games I have been. Having bought specific mid-range wheels for PS3 and 360, it was almost unbelievable that neither were supported on the new systems. Racers am cry.
I don't know what his deal is.
Yeah, this isn't Destiny. That game was it's own beast.
I agree, plus they have had it for a week now

Thanks! Sounds a little like Burnout Paradise which was awesome (obviously). I hope they have an option to setup custom lobbies too but I'm not holding my breath.
Not that I know of.

Looking forward to seeing what the press thinks!
Also I saw somewhere that the Tesla Model S is a part of the VIP pass? Is that real? If so I absolutely am grabbing that.

Forza Horizon 1 is my favorite racing game of all time.
Cannot wait to get my hands on this. The only bummer is I'm still playing Destiny and Shadows of Mordor come out the same day....
Oh well, I'll for sure be making time to rage this game. I can't say enough how much I adore Horizon 1.

that is genius, it can't be denied.
the only reason that I am just a little skeptical on the plus 90 metacritic is that the original was 85 on the site. gaining 5 would be absolutely great but who knows.
Don't do it!

Although they added traffic in the online mode.
I guess what they mean is that some areas can feel a little lifeless with just roads through the environment and nothing to see or do. Traffic does not fix that.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
What does empty world actually mean though? This is not an open world like Skyrim. Cars don't need dungeons. The game does interesting things with random encounters style events that there seems to be a glut of and also seems to feed it out in interesting and varied ways from what I've been following. I imagine people seeing the freedom in horizon might try to knock it for not being something that its not (Burnout Paradise comes to mind) with big ass ramps, police chases and nitro boost but that's not really Forza or Forza Horizon... I'd really be disappointed by a review that refuses to judge the game by its own merits against what its trying to be rather than how much it isn't like something else to the point that it loses its own identity.

Well Forza Horizon 2 shows the character of Southern Europe, amazing country roads, little cottages and villages along the coast and great scenery. You play it to drive. What else do you want to do?

Yeah, those crowds took me by surprise in the demo, big time.Thought that would be "fixed" by drivatars. Also:

You mean like in real life? But with 700+ events and a bunch of peripheral activities, I doubt that any part of the world will feel empty.

GTAV does a good jov of making it's rural scenery feel alive. I enjoyed the FH2 demo immensely but some small touches like a bit more traffic, wildlife, and maybe things like trains rolling along would help.
But I agree that it's primarily a racing game and that's where the focus should be.
Nah, they got rid of the piss filter.
I like the "or fallen from grace" caveat to allow any franchise to be dismissed.

Don't know how having wild life in the game would turn out. If players could run them over that would create shit storm #214 for Microsoft. If they were non-solid objects it would piss off people and if they were solid objects but indestructible it would cause people to moan about it.
Hey guys.
Just a heads up that Driftwood and myself are going to do a live stream of the game at 9:30PM CEST (in about 80 minutes) on Twitch. We can't show more than the first hour of the game, but it should still allow us to go outside the demo area quite a bit. So if you want to see a bit of the game and also "enjoy" my truly terrible French-English accent, I'll post the link here when we start
If this is successful (this will be our first live stream), I'll most likely switch to a hybrid solution using our own stream servers with much higher image quality, but with twitch fallback too for mobile and users that can't handle the higher bitrate.
