I'm guessing there will be invisible walls in place or they reset you back to the road but I'd love to be wrong.

Doesnt matter.
Looks a little barren though, but I guess that's because of the overview angle. Man, a TDU done right with great physics and less shitty minigames sounds fantastic.

Sounds good, but I want courses that push those mixed surface races. I want some scary mountain road action, like Montenegro in RSC2.

Lack of variance in the environment could kill a game like this. TDU got away with it because it was supposed to be photorealistic.Colorado seems like a nice environment, plenty of variety, going by Google anyway
I wonder if this is a chunk of real area or made up with the real terrain in mind. Either way, kind of stoked now this is looking more and more like a TDU game except without the shit physics.

The models exist from Forza. If there's an additional license fee, then it will be DLC.
Colorado is a very diverse state, geographically. It only lacks beaches.

Oh wow. This game looks really nice. I love the idea of just being able to mindlessly drive around a representation of Colorado. No boring repetitive tracks and exploration is a huge point. Might be one off the first racing/car games I buy in a long time.

Things would really need to be fucked up if it isn't.

Vegas, baby.
I think it means exactly that.
Top Gear (US and UK) did this. You can try to look it up on youtube.
Something like "Eurofighter VS Veyron" thingy Top Gear did, I guess. (yawn).
You know Pike's Peak is almost entirely paved now?
Don't remember if it was this year or next that when the hill climb event is held that it won't have any dirt sections left on it.Neuromancer

Yeah, I just read about that... That's pretty lame. Hopefully they don't go for full realism and use the pre-2011 course.

I don't really feel this. The boxart is hideous and nothing I've seen so far excites me one bit. The ugly Viper doesn't help, I guess.
The exciting bits are only to be read about ATM.

Pikes Peak better be in this! You can't have an open world racing game in Colorado without the greatest hill climb in the world. I know it's all paved now, but that doesn't mean they can't have a "fantasy" version thats all dirt though.
I wonder if they wil have any special cars/events/etc for people who have a FM4 save? Would be a nice thing for the Forza faithfuls.

This info and new pics should be in a new thread. Too significant to be buried here.

Reduced damage? Fucking car manufacturer licenses. :/
Or they couldn't do full damage on time, and chose to do PGR slight style cosmetic gamage.
fucking abysmal game, the first was ok though

I don't think it's that, more then likely slimming damage down to fit more stuff in or as an arcade styled racer, doing some different approach to damage.
The music was hilarious. So many blatant ripoffs.

So what direction are they going with this? Is it a full on arcade racer?

They finished paving it earlier this year. July 8th is the date of the first race on the new surface. I'm glad I could be there last year with dirt sections, and I already have my tickets for the race this year to see how they compare.

I just hope there is some level of customization and tuning.
If this works well, rally in FM5?

Well crap...
I was thinking about selling my 360 since I could do with the money and all I've really played on it since getting my hands on it about a year ago was Forza 4, and even then I haven't touched that since about February. But now this pops up, looks ace, is right up my alley and now I'm conflicted...
I've always wanted a nice chilled "racing" game where I can just explore an environment and have fun. Test Drive Unlimited was always too dodgy for me to enjoy (both of them), and other open road racers such as Burnout Paradise are in your face, "LET'S RACE!!!" style which I enjoy, but I want something more like this. And with it being in Colorado too? Maaan...

That's not very hard, that game was trash. TDU 1 was good though, played 100+ hours with a friend, cruisin around.
