Yeah, in H2 the festival was scattered all over the map. There is still a chance for a "main stage" we have not seen yet.

That's because they are showcase events and not regular races. In all the horizons the showcase events are tweaked so you always have the dynamic thing happening, otherwise the faster and slower drivers would never see the built in shots (like the jump with the helicopter). In regular races there is no rubber banding.
Ah, thanks. Good to hear. I played the shit out of FH but largely skipped FH2, so couldn't remember how it was handled in the FH series.

Yeah remember the mustag vs bi-plane or the hot air balloon race. Didn't matter how slow or fast you were it was always a nail bitter. Unless you completely fuck up ots hard to lose those.
Damn, if Papua New Guinea (by FSOL) is actually in the soundtrack.. well it won 't be surprising after the inclusion of Ninja Tune/Hospital Records in FH2, but what a nice addition.

I would expect this in these intro events. These are more like interactive cutscenes in a way - showing the new player how the game works.

Maybe my eyes are deceiving me, but while it looks really nice, you can clearly see the difference with PC but i guess that is to be expected. That Scorpio can't come soon enough.
But this footage is on the Slim, so it will look a little different on the standard Xbox One due to no HDR on current one?

it's hate to lose them but almost always feels like you're going to. the tension in those races are fantastic, even if it's mostly manufactured
this makes me really want to go back and play the first game. i played over 100 hours of 2 but never even finished the first one
Now that you say it. I more or less expected to get FH1 for BC free with a preorder. hm.

Not the entire map. Clearly gets cut off. Will be interesting to see how much of that is the map though. Hoping for more surfers paradise up north and outback to the east.

After watching some more videos it's clear that Playground are top tier developers.
This game is going to be incredible! Can't wait to see more

I really can't get past the cut and paste job the map is. Seriously was excited for it been in Australia until I saw that.
They could of easily did Victoria, a bit of SA and a bit of ACT. Had a varity of landscape, a huge map and still do the the Yarra Valley and Great Ocean Road. Heck they could of done other things like the Snowy moutains as well (heck even unclose the service road in the map and have a hill climb to the tallest mountain in Australia).

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
No, I mean th main event appears to be at the coast. You can see all the balloons hovering over it in the footage while people are racing towards it.

Yes but they were still a lot closer then this.
Straya!!!
This game looks absolutely insane. Horizon 2 is the best racer I have ever played. This will surpass that I am sure.

Nice! But last time I looked, the 12 Apostles were just a little bit south of Byron. Poetic license I guess!

This is my GAME OF SHOW!
No contest! I LOVE the FH series!

Yeah the maps way off, yarra valleys nowhere near us and 12 apostles is in another part of the country but I'll take what I can get!

Will it have kangaroos hopping down George Street, Sydney?
be cool if parkway was in it
i live in palm beach, weird seeing byron so far away
High five!
I know those guys. Good times.
This looks so good and anyone who thinks the scale is off/size of Australia should be bigger has no idea how large the physical size of oz really is.. It just couldn't happen and I'm sure they have weighed the scale vs gameplay sensibilities to the absolute best of their ability. If you look at map overlays Australia is nearly the size of the whole of the USA, hard to believe I know.. http://www.ga.gov.au/scientific-topics/national-location-information/dimensions/australias-size-compared
Anyways, FH2 was a masterclass in open world driving for me and I think this is somehow, some way going to blow even that away..

The other two Forza Horizon games got bundles, so I guess this one will as well.
