cant imagine this is fun with a wheel. fh1 felt wrong with it and i assume (!) there is much more fun in fh2 with a controller.

got a wheel and fanatec pedals and wont even think for a second about hooking it up for that game. same for driveclub or nfs

I don't know if you need to be sociable to play this game, pretty sure you can just join a random online game and have fun without communicating too much with others.

And you can just ignore the multiplayer entirely if you want.

You might see some popups for rivals challenges and speed cameras, etc, but you don't exactly have to be very sociable for async leaderboard competition, and you can still just ignore them entirely if you want.

@GlamFM: Yes there will be some Cutscenes, ralph said in some interviews.
But i don´t think there will be a deep single player story mode.

@Helios: Absolutely!!

How were the Teams build?
Random before the race or can I select a Team?

Are there more Modes to expect ?

Hey veidi, because I saw you doing it in the other Forza thread as well - here´s some general advice:

It´s always better to quote somebody than to write @ them. Quotes are green and easier to detect when glancing over a page.

HEEEELLLLLIIIIOOOSSSSSSS.

Can you find out when we'll be getting the demo? We're just mere weeks away from release, seems cruel to make us any longer to get a taste of that delicious Horizon 2 nectar.

I'm still trying to decide where to pre-order from. I'm currently leaning more towards GameStop with the LP-570-4 and the "Day One" edition.

Outside of them, Amazon, and Best Buy, are there any other "better" pre-order options?

Was checking to see what pre-order bonus I was getting and noticed the price on amazon.co.uk has dropped to £39 now.
Probably the cheapest place to pre-order from if you haven't done so already.

I like. Just don't release the demo on the same day as the game pretty please.

I seem to remember the Forza Horizon demo was a couple of weeks before the game came out, and you got a free car for playing the demo.
That'll do me again.

I try to play F355 at least once a year as there's very few fully working cabs around that I know of. DC one was great too.

Brutally hard game for £1+ a go and considering it's age still looks and plays great, just can't afford to ever get good at it. Wish Forza was that tough.

Is there a website that makes it clear what retailers/websites offer what exclusives?

Here in the UK GAME offer the Ferrari California and amazon offer the BMW m6 2013.
Tough decision.

Sorry for the wait, got some more info on this for you:

Teams are assigned by the game in order to keep the pace of the game-flow up. The game will try to keep Club members in the same team, so if you have a session comprised of two Clubs the teams will be split along Club lines. Scoring for team races is actually designed to allow uneven teams to battle fairly (e.g. a 3 man team can beat a 6 man team if they are better drivers) so even if you don’t have even numbers your Club may still be kept together in one team. However, we don’t allow (say) 11 Club members to go in one team against a lone player in the other – in instances like that, the Club will end up split between the two teams. However, you are still earning Club XP bonuses regardless, which benefits you and your Club.

Hope that helps? :)

I love driving in the cockpit view, but I hate not hearing the full roar of the engine. I would love to see an option to coverride the interior sound or maybe even just have one of the cycled views be cockpit with exterior sound!

Probably too late to make it in by release but maybe in an update or the next forza. Can't wait for the 30th!

Maybe what's needed is less of an overide, more of an option to just open the windows. :)
