already finished... damn man.

i've had the game almost two weeks Thats when MS sent out the early discs. Hopefully that dispels myths that the game is short

[Baconsammy]

I think it's stupid that we can't Wei Shen the starter. If you're going to stand in the middle of the road, I should be able to run you over.

Looks like Harvey Norman in Sydney have started selling the game already. Going to check it out tomorrow..

 

[op_ivy]

[HeliosT10]

[op_ivy]

Hey everyone

I just reviewed Forza Horizon yesterday morning: http://www.savingcontent.com/video-game-review/forza-horizon/

I also recorded this video companion showing off 20 minutes of gameplay:

Nice review.

Again, congratulations to Playground Games on their first outing. Praises and accolades galore..

 

[Steve McQueen]

Absolutely agree. Greenawalt on the other hand wouldn't.

Anyway, just thinking about next gen FM5+GT6 get's me excited in more ways than one...

Man, just the thought of a possible PS4 launch with GT6 bundled and xbox 720 with FM5

 

[overcast]

So is this essentially TDU, but with better gameplay? Because that sounds awesome.

 

[JorgePinto]

Moar pics!

Hey guys, wanted to ask you something, what's the most iconic rally paint for The Ford Cosworth for each of you?

I have three in mind but I won't have time to make all three, so I was wondering which one people actually consider the most iconic rally paint for Cosworth?

Or maybe you have something else in mind? Let me know guys, I'll work on it tomorrow

I think the blue McRae is the most iconic, I know it's my favorite!

And has anyone with an early copy created the ForzaGAF club yet?

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Spot the car.

 

[Bog]

Saw this on the shelf at K-Mart, but they refused to sell it.

Also, they had this wireless wheel for $14.99.

 

[derFeef]

Spot the car.

I did. Now send me your copy!

 

[CrunchinJelly]

I did. Now send me your copy!

You can have it on Friday.

I tried to do that in the demo for kicks and it was funny how you couldn't pass through him like usual.

Forza 7 will be out by the time GT6 hits.

It was like I hit a brick wall. Very disappointing.

Let me know the gamertag and club tag you want and I'll see about reserving it for you guys.

 

[Orca]

Is the terrible 'car calls a guy' commercial the only one the game's going to get?

 

[Steve McQueen]

Damnit....still can't decide about the wheel. I have a wheel on order, but the cars and environment look so f*ckin' good, that the cockpit view doesn't do Colorado justice.
Normally, I use the cockpit view, but this game looks, imo, so much better with a view behind the car, that I don't know if I should buy the wheel. To use a wheel for a view 'behind the car' does not feel right imo.

 

[hwy_61]

So after playing with the Speed Wheel for a while, I gotta say, it makes the game a lot more challenging. When I was driving the Lancer, it was easier, but when it came to the Mustang and the Viper, holy shit. I was all over the place. I really like it!

Try bumpercam, I usually play in cockpit view for Forza but find it takes up too much screen space and obstructs the view without the fov hack.

 

[Xun]

Just played the demo and I love it!

Definitely getting this.

 

[jcutner]

Damn, no early copy at my Flea Market
Looks like I'm hoping that Future Shop will have some LCEs

 

[M.W.]

Just played the demo and I love it!

Definitely getting this.

Yep, I finally DL'ed it the other day and man is it fun. This is coming from someone who really doesn't enjoy sim racers and wasn't a fan at all of past Forza's. Game looks sublime.

 

[sneaky77]

I am looking forward to taking this for a spin tuesday, any decent settings for a fanatec wheel out there yet?

Thanks...that might do the trick

Got these from drugstore_cowboy in another Forza Horizon thread.

Using a CSRE here.

900 degrees
ffb 100
shock 100
deadzone 010
spring 0
damper OFF
linearity 0

Ingame I left steering deadzone at 1 but altered the clutch a little.

Works great for me.

 

[sneaky77]

thank you sir

 

[JorgePinto]

One more bigshot:

 

[Blimblim]

Just got the review copy, damn this game is great. I absolutely love the handling, perfect blend of arcade and sim for me, quite a bit like PGR.
I've played some multiplayer free-roaming this afternoon, I can see this being popular in the future, I wish there was a way to create its own coop challenge though, since the few there are going to get old very quickly.

 

[Shortt Sirket]

Let me know the gamertag and club tag you want and I'll see about reserving it for you guys.

We used ForzaGAF with [GAF] as the tag in Forza 4 and would love to use it again.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Where do I get my loyalty cars?

 

[Arucardo]

We used ForzaGAF with [GAF] as the tag in Forza 4 and would love to use it again.

Hopefully there's still room in there when us EU people get it

 

[Seanspeed]

That looks awesome.

 

[guitarhero]

Wei Shen the starter?

OH COME ON!

You could do that shit in Carmageddon 1!

 

[jello44]

Definitely sign me up when I get my copy, which will hopefully be on Tuesday.

I don't think there will be a problem with that this time. As awesome as this game appears to be, the hype doesn't seem to be as high as Forza 4.

You're right. When I ordered the LCE I was the only one who pre-ordered. I really, really hope this sells wel, because Playground has done an amazing job ( as I expected when you have team like this )

 

[DD]

Moar

 

[nhlducks35]

Do any credits from Forza 4 carry over?

Also, does anyone want to trade their pre order car for a 370Z?

Anyone?

 

[Jamesways]

Last set for tonight...

Man, I absolutely CANNOT wait to raid your SF Hertz.
DAMN!
Thank you for doing these so early. Great stuff!

I'm in again for this

So the gamertag to register the car club tag against is ForzaGAF?
