I R Smart
seems they left them in the game to wait for EAs license to expire, thus saving loads of money and hassle dealing with them

In that case...they should be free!

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..

How could you forget the reverse-engineered sun ? :lol
Also, the lugnuts !
Damn, I just can't wait to hear what the new Beard sanctioned hype stuff for FM5 will be, especially if it's next-gen. You know you all like it !

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.
Unfortunately, Activision owns the Geometry Wars IP... :-/
This saddens me
Still one of my fav arcade games ever made.THANKFULLY
me and a buddy are creating a similar game with our own spin on it, hope to have it on live indie in the next month or so

That's why the Porsche expansion is priced at 1600 Microsoft points.

Yeah...How should we get hyped when there's no information about the game? Disappointing announcement.

This is the opposite direction I was hoping for.

What were you hoping for Mr. Mclaren?
It doesn't seem like it. I think we are going to have to wait 'till E3 for anything substantial.

Forza + TDU2 could be a wonderful combination...despite the silly tone trailer.
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.

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.

We all know Mclaren wanted a Ferrari focused Forza because he can't get enough of those Italian beauties.
We probable don't have the same definition of "a lot". People with racing wheels represent a tiny part of the total number of players and even tinier is the number of people owning a Fanatec wheel...
Disappointed that there will not be any new details :/
I guess it's good that the general direction of FM does not change.

lol, I had an inkling that's what he wanted.
Seriously, if anyone thought that Forza Horizon was going to be hardcore sim with a robotic soul, needed a reality check.
Obviously, to differentiate between Forza 4, a whole different flavour was needed in order to draw in a new crowd as well as present some freshness to the franchise and same old, same old was not going to cut it...

This is the right answer. McLaren just LOOOVVEEESS those Ferraris!
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!
I just noticed the Lambo at the end is very badly composited on...

An open-world sim racer could end up being the most boring game of all-time, at least in the top 5 lol.
Why though? Do shitty physics = fun?
Greenawalt wants to take on the world!!

Dude can be a bit overboard at times, but you gotta give him credit for being ambitious.
LOL, WTF?!

Either a point to point race across some challenging roads in different countries around the world or something like TDU, upgrades will be in, tuning may not.
Again, keep the handling and feel of the cars like Forza 4 and it's all good.
Plus 30fps.

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.
Example: Something I always though would be fun would be a point to point race to deliver as much contraband/cargo in a limited amount of time. That way each player can make their best choice for speed/storage/off road capabilities.
Well, remember the Top Gear partnership was a multi-year partnership, so maybe your on to something...
...maybe...
...maybe Forza Horizon takes place in Dunsfold!

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.

You mean the most fun game of all-time? I agree.
For you, perhaps. For me, quite the opposite. And I'm sure there's about as many people that bought and enjoyed forza 1-4 that feel the same as I do. The best way for them to do this is to use forza physics with options to make it more arcadey. Keyword: options.
Holy shit, I didn't even think of that. Must include used car buying with chances of breakdowns and lemons for Top Gear shenanigans
