all true except for hot girlsSo apparently the game will have cars, driving and hot girls. Very informative.

Maybe the second announcement is the return of Porsche to the Forza series.
Turns out there was never a licensing issue and Microsoft held the cars back to sell them as DLC later on.
In a press briefing, Dan Greenawalt talked up the team at Playground, with a focus on their combined years of experience with racers. Greenawalt called them a "super group," and says that he fully trusts them with Turn 10's vision for racing games.
Greenawalt was clear that what Playground Games is working on is not Forza Motorsport 5. He says that he wants them to make their own game, with their own vision, and that it will be a collaborative effort with Turn 10.
We were showed a teaser video clip for Forza Horizon that seemed to suggest a party feel with its club music, concert footage and dancing, though Greenawalt later noted that the video was not intended to state what Forza Horizon is or isn't.
I wonder what 'forza-isms" Playgrond Games will conjure up?
Sub six inch level, 12 year old with lambo poster on the wall, and IBL has served us well from Greenawalt..
In that case...they should be free!
How could you forget the reverse-engineered sun ? :lolI wonder what 'forza-isms" Playgrond Games will conjure up?

To me this is the next PGR. With all the former developers on board. Its going to be sick to see what they have in store. Im a huge fan of PGR series, the TOCA series and Dirt. So who knows what they have cooked up for us.
But no we can read your mind on this one Forza Horizon isnt the spiritual continuation of Bizarres flagship racing series, Project Gotham Racing. Greenawalt insists its still Forza, just not the same Forza a numbered installment would imply.
Unfortunately, Activision owns the Geometry Wars IP... :-/ok that music was right out of pgr...
EXCITE!
also, GEO WARS 3??? please please please!!

Making those porche models must have been easy. Design one and then press CTRL + V 29 times.
Only joking this is awesome
Not even screenshots? Disappointment-on.
Forza Horizon (Playground Games) Forza Horizon is a fast-paced, pick-up-and-play racing game and the newest entry in the Forza Motorsport franchise. Available this Fall, the game is being created in partnership with acclaimed racing development studio Playground Games.
Forza now has a second team at the helm with Playground Games, who are creating Forza Horizon for a release this fall. Nothing else was confirmed, but weve been told its akin to Test Drive Unlimited 2.
If one were to look at what was in the footage I would think this is less like PGR and more like a cross country Gumball Rally. Which would be cool kind of like TDR and NFS the run hybrid.
Might be 2 for 2
This is the opposite direction I was hoping for.
did they show the game at all at the event? no screenshots, no videos?
What were you hoping for Mr. Mclaren?

I was hoping it would be more like Project CARS. A lot of people own Fanatec wheels now so I think it would be cool if there was a sim-ier Forza game.
This is the opposite direction I was hoping for.
He was hoping for the full-simulation 60fps hard-core open-world game with day/night changes, variable weather and competitive online with iRacing-type skill-system
I will be happy just with the FM4-level wheel-support and deep single-player mode.
Multiplayer does not interest me, although I know it will be the main focus for the mainstream audience. But I would just adore to get spiritual successor to the first Test Drive Unlimited.
We all know Mclaren wanted a Ferrari focused Forza because he can't get enough of those Italian beauties.
I would absolutely kill for an open world with sim physics - TDU and other similar games were unplayable because the cars handled like matchboxes.
I just noticed the Lambo at the end is very badly composited on...As much as I would like that as well, the reality is an open world sim would probably not be as fun as we would imagine.
In saying that, I'm more than confident that the physics in Horizon will not be as shitty as TDU 2. A PGR esque type of handling would be fine by me..
Oh, and Turn 10 has released a teaser trailer today!

I know.
Seriously, let's get something a little more informative ffs!
An open-world sim racer could end up being the most boring game of all-time, at least in the top 5 lol.
......Turn 10's Dan Greenawalt says it's his ambition for Forza to be as big as both NASCAR and F1.
"To us, the exciting aspect of the news (Forza Horizon) is what it's doing to us in terms of our aspiration and our vision," Greenawalt told Eurogamer at Microsoft's Spring Showcase. "Our vision is to make an impact, in car culture and in gaming culture. While we're happy with the success we've had, there are obviously still bigger gaming brands out there. When you look at car culture, there's F1 and there's NASCAR, and we're not having the impact that they are."
Greenawalt wants to take on the world!!

Why though? Do shitty physics = fun?

The possibilities in a game like this are endless. Here' hoping we see day/night cycles, multiple surfaces (snow/dirt/sand/gravel, etc), a mixture of open ended roads, tight city streets and rally like off-road sections. They should also put a few closed circuits in for good measure.
I know I'm probably alone in this but I'd like to see other aspects of a car represented as well, like storage space and fuel efficiency - that way players could make some custom challenges in homage of Top Gear.

Seriously, adding in some classic Top Gear Tests would be awesome. Give me the $10K Italian Supercars or the $1k? Porsches.
Or even a long distance race between an off road car, a super car and something else.
There is a chance here to really have some fun with the Top Gear license.
