"playing" dumb? unpossible
So long as Playground games and Turn 10 keep making Forza titles, there will always be a current Xbox in my staple of consoles. I'm sitting here browsing through this thread as my demo downloads, and I can't seem to stop drooling lol.

I've got the Ultimate edition pre-ordered (gotta love the 20% Prime discount and release day delivery on Amazon). Now to upload a bunch of music to OneDrive for the Groove radio station

You can select folders/files to not sync to your HD and just use the online client if you really need them. That's how I do it. And yes it sucks...

You don't have to use your SSD either, you can move your OneDrive location somewhere else if you have another hard drive. That's what I did.

I've played through the demo today, and I totally like it! The car controls and physics are mostly the same as the previous Horizon Games (so a nice mix between Forza Motorstorm and NFS), but the visuals and the new locals are just lovely.

I did noticed how the great skies are, but unfortunately I mostly play from the internal car camera and I can barely see them (especially with the new Lamborghini). But still, the beaches are amazing, the rain forest is lush, and the framerate is pretty solid.

I'm pretty sure the Xbox One version is running 30fps (as the Horizon 2), but I do hope we can play the PC version on full details and 60/120fps. I do liked how optimized was Forza 6 for PC, so I have high hopes for the PC version!

Is there a way to save progress that I'm not aware of, or does it reset each time you play? I played all the way through and unlocked MP, but then went to play another game while my friend caught up. When I went back in to play, it was back to the beginning with nothing to do but play the races again. Wondering if that's a bug or a feature.... couldn't find an "Exit to Menu" or other way to exit properly.

I hate all of you guys right now because I'm on vacation and won't be back for another 5 days; therefore, I can't try the demo. On a bright side my vacation is amazing and scenery on this Island give me FH3 vibes. Here's a couple of pictures i took few hours ago while exploring this place on a golf cart.

I thought that was FH3 until I read your post.

I understand it correctly that whole campaign can be played in coop like in The Crew or will it be some additional missions in free roam?
It would be one of the best additions ever, I love playing Crew in coop.

The voice-over in the demo says that's the case so yeah, it seems like you can play all the missions co-op and the progress will carry over to your solo career. Really cool.

Yes, campaign can be played fully in 4 player co-op, and like it says in-game any progress made will carry over to career.

I think the drone cam should have a zoom option. I can understand why they don't do other camera effects like DOF in real time, but a zoom would be pretty cool for video editors.

I dont remember the last time a Demo gave me such strong impressions. There's also a crazy amount of content in it. Jesus.

It really gives me the idea of beeing the most complete Forza ever in almost every single departement.

Good game PG & T10.

While you are hanging around here, do you know if there are thunderstorms with lightnings in the game or are they planned?

Seems like an obvious addition to the weather system. I kind of expected them in Storm Island. Maybe it's not that trivial to implement?
