Nothing new really. They did the same thing with the FM4 'live action trailer' that showed dirt and snakes and shit and we didn't get any of that.

Beaten!

so bummed about the lack of snakes, lol :p

And i still have doubts that Microsoft has the rights to use Porsche cars in anything even Trailers to promote a Game.

do we know for sure this trailer is legit? seems odd that it was released early or that it leaked before monday and it hasnt been pulled from the youtubes...

What I too find weird that there is no logo, no nothing. The Forza 4 "live action" trailer at least had Forza footage and the logo at the end.

Some things that I find odd about the trailer :

- FM4's live action trailer at least had some gameplay element (although, I'm not sure if the the last bit with the Lambo is live action)
- No Forza logo, using the Forza brand, you'd think they'd try to use the recognizable F3 FM logo introduced since FM3 ?
- The leaked FM4 trailer was quickly pulled from youtube IIRC, this one is still there despite the embargo. I know pulling it would confirm that it's legit but still, I think nothing else leaked from the showcase so NDAs seem to be working.
- The FM4 live action trailer didn't mention the source of the footage (what's the point in a trailer)

I guess we'll find out on monday... :D

Edit : Damn you derFeef ! :p

I just saw gamesradar uploaded the video and called it the 'Forza Horizon Tone Trailer Xbox Spring Showcase 2012' (it's there video.) Why would they lie and hurt there reputation?

alll true...but it is a "tone" trailer....which isn't really supposed to show anything from the actual product, jusy give indication to the direction. they use that kind of video in marketing before the actual product has anything to show, just to convey the idea they are going for.

And perhaps it wasn't supposed to be shown publicly, just like the Forza 4 pitch trailer which used some FM3 footage, among other things.
 
I like to see developers doing this.

I think that this is a good way for MS to develop aspects of forza that can be translated into forza motorsport at some point.

I hope that MS makes these devs focus on arcadey style stuff, but also work on rally and weather so that it can be incorporated into forza at some point.

A pitch trailer without any game footage (incomplete or not) would not make sense. I could get behind a teaser trailer, but like I said it's missing the stuff that would make it legit.

ninja edit: to be clear, I want it to be real.

maybe forza horizons isn't a game perse. Maybe it's a forza version of halo waypoint?

This trailer could easily speak to the social aspect of what a community portal like that would be trying to do. As for the game developers, certain affinity was heavily involved with developing waypoint, so it's not too far fetched.

Hope that this is going toward a new direction because this teaser shows they still don't get simulation car racing.
Pretty sure I had you on my ignore list from the Forza vs. GT thread. Looks like trolls will still be trolls...



Anyway, I was about to mention it as well but I'm guessing that at most, it's a fan-made trailer that somehow got misinterpreted (deliberately or otherwise) as a "leak" and consequently uploaded. Unsubbing from this thread, I think!

Source?

edit: oh you are guessing, nvm, slow reading.

Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl. It's pretty old.

I think it might be a remix though... I know some trailers usually do a bit of editing and resequencing, but that version was considerably different from the original.

Microsoft had better bloody hope it's real, or it's back to just Halo 4 for fall.
They don't have much say in the matter if it IS a fan-made trailer, do they? There's nothing even close to official-looking in it, so I'm going to hedge my bets and say it's either by a fan or is an extremely early-stage edit by a marketing company looking at getting a contract with MS.

Edit: Didn't notice the little credits thing at the end. Might get some google-fu happening. Oh, and it's the Soulwax remix of Hey Boy Hey Girl, according to Shazam :D

I did some digging and it turns out they are Porsches, not RUFs in the video. They are from tuner Evo Motorsports (the orange Gumpert is theirs too). Probably means nothing depending on the validity of the trailer.

In fairness, I am very very excited by an open world Forza. Beautiful name as well.
I was *just* thinking that. Horizon is an amazing name for an open-world racer.

Edit: Good work, Grassy. I'm guessing it's just stock footage that appeared in, then.

If this is real and turns out to be a much more competent Test Drive Unlimited it could be the Forza game I've always wanted.
Pretty much. As soon as an open-world Forza was announced, I've been picturing TDU2 with PGR4 physics and driving model (and graphics too). That would probably be my dream game.

So the guy who told us to expect two big announcements regarding Forza has confirmed the trailer to be real.

Apparently, we still have one big announcement to go....

YES!
Who and where? :)

From that Sebull guy from MS France.

oila encore 2 jours, on ne pourra pas en parler jusqu'a la fin de l'embargo, contrairement aux autres sites qui ne sont pas contraints par cet embargo (enfin normalement si).

Google translate...OILA still two days, we can not talk about it until the end of the embargo, unlike other sites that are not constrained by this embargo (well normally so).

ca a fuité sur pas mal de sites, mais beaucoup de choses sont inexactes (XBLA,...) donc rendez vous lundi pour la vrai annonce.

Google translate...ca has leaked on a lot of sites, but many things are inaccurate (XBLA, ...) So you go for the real announcement Monday.

oui c'est 1 des infos, mais t inquiete elle etait déja partout.

Google translate...yes it is an information, but she was already worried t everywhere.

le 5 mars.

Google translate...March 5.

Et puis faut faire la différence entre Forza Motorsport et Forza Horizon les 2 jeux ne vont pas dans la meme direction donc a la question : ou va Forza ?
on répond pas la meme chose, selon le jeu.

Google translate...And then must make the difference between Forza and Forza 2 Horizon's games are not going in the same direction so the question is: will or Forza?
is answered not the same, depending on the game

Maybe French Gaf can translate a little better...

For anyone who's wondering what track/mix is used in the video, it's:

Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy, Hey Girl (Soulwax Remix)

EDIT: whoops, noticed someone already mentioned that it's the Soulwax remix.

saladine1 :

Most of sites leak information, but few details are wrong (XBLA...), so wait monday for the official announce.

Yes, this is one of information, don't worry about it, it was already announce everywhere.

For March 5.

We must make difference between FM and Forza Horizon. This two games aren't the same by the way : what will happen to the Forza franchise? The answer is different according to the game.
 
Couldn't a spinoff like this easily hurt the Forza franchise if it turns out bad ? Why take the risk

Sure, but couldn't any spin-off hurt a franchise it belongs to? If they weren't satisfied with the way the project was coming along, they would've scrapped it instead of revealing it to the public.
