Forza Horizon - Fall 2012 - Developed by PlayGround Games
- Thread starter Zeouterlimits
- Start date
I find this Horizon more pleasing as I can cruise around and enjoy the vistas. I don't need city stuff and effects in my face all the time. Those two games are very different, though.

Pretty torn here... I love racing games a lot. Pretty much everything from GRID, to NFS, and I really do love TDU. I've played Forza since #2 although I was never a gearhead. I preordered the LCE for the first time and am starting to think I shouldn't have. I haven't watched the vids yet but the $50 season pass and 30fps are really off-putting and it seems like it will be subpar. I can live without tuning, I'm just worried this won't be nearly as good as past entries differences aside.
The thing about that $50 pass is...if it were for Forza 5 or Gran Turismo 6, and included at least two new tracks, I would probably go for it, and be excited even. Simulation racers have a ton of replay value for me. I think I've easily spent over 200 hours in GT5.
But a $50 pass for an arcade racer? What were they thinking, seriously? Especially with the kind of tracks I've seen of the game so far...those don't seem very fun with any car, period. Though I'm sure there's more complex ones later in the game.
I feel bad for the devs because I know that's completely out of their hands. As far as I know it's the publisher's deal.
Anyways, I promise that's the last rant.

looks great. really hope the driving is as satisfying as fm4. also, crossing my fingers that we can set up our own p2p races.
also, a golf course? wasnt someone a few pages back dreaming about a golf course after tdu? lol

Looks hot.
Just 3 weeks to go. Bring it.

Looks real nice, I worry about the night lighting though, those cars in the dark look all matte painted, no light reflection at night?

If this demo is in any way substantial I know what I'll be playing until Horizon releases. Borderlands 2 will finally have some competition.
I wonder if it will be open world but timed? Or just locked down to an event or two? You can never tell with open world game demos.

Burnout paradise did it well, gave you a medium sized chunk of roads with invisible walls and about 4 events, was great fun for a good week+
I don't usually try demos but I can't wait for this one to be honest. I know almost for sure I will like this game and play a lot but right now my only concern is:
Will I get the LE and if yes how much will it cost me? I have two stores that are waiting for Stock confirmation. If I don't get my beloved LE (to match my Forza4 LE) I might wait for a price drop since there won't be another incentive to play the game on release day (aside from Hype).
2 questions, is it confirmed that the Season Pass will be Cars Only like Forza 4? Who's making the OT| ?
Keep it positive fellow GAFfers!

The season pass also includes the December expansion (which is why its a whopping $50), which we know is "major", and if you're expecting only cars "you'll be surprised".
Thanks for answering. Ok so we have no idea. More stuff besides Cars seems likely but what it will be? They won't tell us yet. Okay.
We're in October already!

This was posted today.
Or new events featuring new cars in the current game world..?

Or just removed fences to drive almost anywhere.... that would be a shock DLC!!!
Btw. I will drive my heart out in this game, can't wait for 23rd + 7 working days (delivered from UK).
imo that would not justify the price tag

Looks amazing. Can't wait.
graphics look very good, but it doesnt really matter, because an
Arcade racer from T10, sure beats all other arcade racers in my book.
I will see and judge DLC as it comes, not before. 17% discount for pre-buying the entire bunch does not constitute an irresistible offer
so, no 50$ pass for me, but I'm definitely there day 1.
And until 26th, come on fuckin' October 9!!
p.s.
Also I cannot seem to find a collectors edition to preorder in Greece. Why is that mr beard man?

What can justify $50 DLC? Surely only content equal or better than the original game. Same number of cars as the retail launch, same size world as the retail launch, same number of events as the retail launch. We'll let the devs re-use the original game engine for free.
I was talking mostly about the expansion. if its just new events on the same area is not worth the 25 or 30 for the expansion itself

Gold course hijinks confirmed.
Hopefully that's the first track you race on, because jeez.
Why cant car games get the license plate right? It either ends up looking stupid (LIBERTY CITY license plate on every single car in GTAIV, gah) or dumb when the car removes them altogether (like in this case).
I like how Gran Turismo puts the car logo/manufacturer on the license plate. That should be standard for most simulation style games. Or just let us make our own license plate.
You mean like you can in Forza 4?
You can make completely custom plates (down to exact "state"/"country" plates) in Forza 4's Livery. Is the Livery in Horizons?
I need to read up on it.
Edit** It appears the Livery is in...now if it's the full Livery, then of course, custom plates (fully custom) are in.

You can import all your design groups like license plate designs from FM4 and paste them directly onto your Horizon cars in the editor.

Looks very impressive so far.
If Microsoft knew what was good for them they'd buy this studio before EA scoops them up and relegates them to run-of-the-mill Need for Speed spin offs.

Good to see someone else from Chile! . I preordered it on Zmart for the 458. Microplay gives you the SLS AMG so i guess Todojuegos will give you the Aston Martin Virage.
Similar to Test Drive Unlimited perhaps. Open world, Forza physics/handling with lots of races and activities all over one big area.

I have only just realised that there is a LE version and it's GAME.co.uk exclusive :S i'll still buy it so I can keep with owning every LE forza game outside of FM1 which did not have one in the UK.
