I really hope the rally tracks are good and long, not like the 2-3 minute ones in Dirt 2/3. I wonder if you have to drive specific rally cars, if so I hope there's a rally version of my Subaru WRX.
Too bad there's no snow in this game- right?

Speaking of, whoever said Forza Horison: Tokyo Nights ..

And rain, and huge amounts of dust, etc. But I know what game I'm getting Day one so it's okay not to dream about stuff.
The announcement made me get flashbacks of my very first Rally game, Need For Speed: V-Rally.
Got it when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Anyone else remember it?

Of course - i had it on the PS1 but i think it was just named V-Rally here.
Although me being a child may have had something t do with it, i remember it being hard as nails?

Do the cars get dirty over time like Forza 2 in the full game?

I remember it having horribly floaty, weightless cars. Something they didn't even fix in V-Rally 2.
I didn't like it much either.

i think that's just a random mud picture and not from the game, but it would be nice.
As always, different people want different things. In this case you can't just refer to people as one entity.

My first rally game:
It wasn't particularly realistic in any way but it was a lot of fun. It was the first game I played where the car got deformed as it got more wrecked.

Just saw this posted on facebook from xbox Canada. Love this idea on the cars. My hype is already at max levels. Horizon Experience in Toronto

I'm more of a asphalt/circuit racer than a hardcore off-roader, so I'll have to wait and see how different the experience of the Rally Pack is from the dirt races already in the game.
Also, it's getting confusing keeping track of all the content packs, so can anyone (Helios?) clarify if the "Month One" Season Pass car pack is the same as the LCE "Day One" offering?

Rally could be a great expansion, but I'd need a lot more details to know whether its worth it.
I take it this is adding some new large environments to the map? If so, I'm probably in. But the small text only refers to cars, events and achievements. How will this work in multiplayer?
Is this something akin to the Burnout Paradise Island DLC?

Really liking the music track for that video. Shame it's not in the actual game.

I am almost positive they are different. The Day 1 DLC has 5 cars and is available to LCE owners and probably everyone else that buys it new. The Month One DLC has 6 cars and is only for the Season Pass people to get them to purchase it early.
You would feel a touch miffed if you were a hardcore fan who had bought both LE and Season Pass...
I'm surprised we haven't heard about the Day One Pack, though, if it is indeed a separate entity...

I was told by a good source that they were going to announce that and the LCE Liveries today. We shall see.
Spaceman Spiff

I would be and I was miffed when they did this to me with the LE of FM4. That's why I think people are concerned they'll try and pull that same stunt again.
EDIT: Holy shit, they are doing it again. FFS, who thought this was a good idea? Canceling LCE order.
Shortt Sirket
Member
Well shit, that is....someting. I don't understand why they are trying so hard to convince people NOT to buy the LCE.
I am changing the OP now.
There really should be an additional 'loyalty' pack (for buying new) with content outwith the Season Pass, in this situation.
But I guess its too late for the team to change their plans now, which is a real shame...
But going by the maths, we have a 1600 point expansion, and 7 * 400 point car packs (Month One and six additional), which totals 1600+2800 = 4400. The Pass states it represents "savings of more than 15%", which would mean a minimum of: 4000*1.15 = 4600.
Even though it hasn't (and cannot by the team members who frequent GAF) been announced, I suspect the final pack may well be the VIP pack (at 400 points, which would account for the few percentiles 'more') after the final car pack, and that would be the content (for the Pass at least) concluded.
... I think I may have reasoned myself off the LE as well...! Or, more likely, the season pass.
Edit: Unless... unless the five additional Season Pas cars will be collected into a final DLC pack after March, and sold to those who didn't go for the pass - making the extra 400 point difference...)

I doubt it. More likely new event ribbons that get added to the map.

Been saying for years I've wanted Forza Rallisport and I would be happy with just what we've got now (going by the demo) but an actual expansion is deffo a day one for me.
I don't ge the moaning about the price of such and such (if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it) but at the same time agree that it's wrong to 'hold stuff back' but fear its something that we'll have to get used to. Don't forget the Xbox live sales that go on all the time, Porsche pack was reduced recently and it not that old.
VRally and VRally 2 were awesome games. Sega Rally was my 'first' proper rally game. Went on to love VRally and then Colin McRae rally games.
One last note, it best be a decent expansion on map size.
Also, Has nobody thought about DLC weather? Rain Pack - 1600 points, want snow? That's another cost etc. Could this engine handle weather? And we have seen it 'hinted' at in some previews!

I think very VERY few developers ever "hold back" content. They have a vision and concepts for a game and they get that done. When the game goes gold, they have all these talented people but nothing to work on. So they come up some ideas, and some of these are ideas might be things that they have been considering for a while. So they start to work on it and decide to create it as DLC.
I don't get why that is so difficult for people to understand. The game went gold like a month ago, what do you think they have been doing? Just sitting around doing nothing? They are working on ideas to improve the game, or working on patches, or on DLC. Just because they announce the DLC before the game comes out does not mean they purposely decided to hold it back.
*sigh* I know this is falling on deaf ears, but I just don't get all the rage. They are trying to give us more content for our game and to give us cool concepts that maybe didn't fit in with the original stated design. A LOT goes on when working on a product with a large team and there are some things that you just can't make work on the original version. I feel like a lot of people have never had to work on a large team with specific design documents and time frames.

The game went gold a month ago, which meant it probably had to be content locked even before then.
I think they did hold cars back, but the rally may have been one of those, if we have time things.
It is still left to be seen if it will be worth the $20 but I hope it adds enough that it is.

That should be the next step, first Horizon will steal some of NFS fanbase and then there is also a Codmasters cake, Dirt series. Releasing Forza Rallisport should shrink that cake by a lot
No clue mate, no clue. Just found it randomly
Very well put Shortt. I really love the idea of rally DLC, but they seem cagey about what is in this DLC. If it's just new courses on the same map I'm out. If it is actually a new area that you can't get to or have seen in the main game than it's totally worth it. Time will tell but I don't think I'm jumping to conclusions to say that this has been a rocky start for their DLC plans.
Pretty sure it's 4000 points no matter your location.
Thanks for answering. I'm only 900 MS short...
I would go all in and get it with the already pre-ordered LE. (Oh why did I miss that 400 MS codes on Facebook... ugh..)

That Stratos pic is either a Sega Rally Concept or Dirt Concept pic, I'm thinking its the latter but I've seen it before.
I doubt we'll ever know what's been 'held back' from the original game. I'd probably be happy with the vanilla game, but can at the same time understand some people's frustration.
They should just fuck season passes off.

All the Pass is is a volume discount on dlc. No one should be bothered by that.
