[Huevos de Oro]

Looks like the cover of a rip-off game.

 

[CorrisD]

So this is coming this year and only a year after Forza 4?
And with Halo 4 Being the 5th release in 4 years, nice to see MS joining others with their yearly releases....

 

[NHale]

Terrible cover and logo (I still see the "FIII" logo as Forza 3).

It's still one of my most anticipated games of the year because I believe this game will be PGR "open world". Please Microsoft don't disappoint me.

 

[Gravijah]

Because of a logo that's not even really that bad? (The cover art it self is just generic car game stuff, nothing horrible.)

Yeesh.

what

i'm not saying the game is gonna be bad, relax. seeing those studios just made me want a microsoft produced over the top arcade racer.

 

[strafer]

nice cover ya'll

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

What the fuck?

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

Hmmmmmmmm... this supports early rumors that its set in California/Nevada.

 

[HigherLevel]

I think the more interesting aspect of this cover is the lack of the "better with Kinect" line at the top. MS's two biggest games of the years have no Kinect support(this and Halo 4). Very interesting IMO.

How many Forzas does one need?

 

[TheOddOne]

Smh @ people complaining about games they don't care about.

 

[Diablohead]

Horizon is a real product?

Worst box art for a racing game this gen so far, looks like some shovelware box art for a pc game.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Crap box, but I'm looking forward to the game.

 

[Brazil]

Terrible car. Terrible cover.

 

[phosphor112]

Coming from the "Forza" name, that "screenshot" is absolutely ugly.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Is that a festival in the middle of a desert with mesas? MICROSOFT COPIES SONY AGAIN!

 

[Superfrog]

Wow, the cover art, design, colors and especially the logo are terribly ugly. How can anyone approve this?!

Screenshot looks alright, not impressive though.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Is that a festival in the middle of a desert with mesas? MICROSOFT COPIES SONY AGAIN!

If the game turns out to be Motorstorm like in ANY WAY? I'M THERE DAY -1!

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

Yeah thanks Microsoft for releasing an underwhelming boxart for a game we know absolutely nothing about. Releasing a grand total of one bullshot alongside it doesn't make up for the fact that loads of us Forza fans are still in the dark to what this game actually is!

 

[Xanadu]

Terrible car.

how do you know? lol

 

[Shocking4U]

Looks like the first game in the series to get panned!

 

[KageMaru]

Ugh, the "horizon" text on the cover looks like its ripped from a celebrity gossip magazine cover.

lol thought the same thing.

 

[Xanadu]

Looks like the first game in the series to get panned!

never judge a game by its cover!

 

[Out of Working Order]

At least the mountains look nice.

 

[op_ivy]

aside from the distant background being washed out (which is realistic, but not all that visually appealing) i think its a pretty good cover. nothing i'd complain about about anyways. pretty excited for this, being open world, just hope it controls decently. i expect an arcade racer, but i'm hoping for more PGR than burnout.

 

[Xanadu]

i think its a pretty good cover.

i respectfully disagree

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

i respectfully disagree

Honestly the cover would be plain brown paper with a white 14 pt Times Roman font, as far as I care.

 

[LQX]

Wow, that cover is so uninspired.

 

[watership]

Ugh, that logo/cover. What the hell! Black, white and pink? With boxes around them tilting opposite way of the Forza logo? Colours, Logo, Framing. All horrible!

 

[op_ivy]

Hmmmmmmmm... this supports early rumors that its set in California/Nevada.

hadnt heard those rumors before. source?

graphicallly, it seems to fit the fm4 look. wonder how much tech/assets were shared

 

[Phoenix Fang]

I see GAF posters nitpicking over irrelevant things again. I didn't realise people spend their game playing time looking at the cover.

 

[Dorfdad]

LOL at that image wow the blur and fade on backgrounds on current gens is taxing isnt it?

Thats what I want fixed in NEXT Gen I hate popup and blur

 

[EagleEyes]

Smh @ people complaining about games they don't care about.

Better get used to it. The Forza brand has made a lot of enemies this gen being the highest rated racing franchise. Just ignore the usual internet immaturity and get hyped about the E3 reveal, I know I am.

 

[KageMaru]

I find it ironic that you point out the number of releases within a franchise, yet you have a Nintendo character as an avatar.

lmao

 

[gaming_noob]

They could NOT have chosen a more generic screen to hype up the game. The boxart is pretty awful too. This game might destroy the Forza name...

 

[jono51]

So, is this going to be TDU done right?

 

[shinnn]

lol so true.. Even an official thread to shit on Forza was created here on gaf. First time I think.

People said the same to the FM4 logo and boxart, and now people say Forza was a masterpiece in boxarts.

[SuicidalSteve]

I expect Wub Wub in its latest trailer after trying to go xtreme with the cover

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

forza 4 artwork was ok, but this is shit, i know its hard for you to accept

 

[TheOddOne]

I remember that the logo being that of FM3 irc'd people, which to this day I still hate. I know they are trying to make it iconic, but doesn't fit.

 

[Snubbers]

I'll keep an open mind for now, but if it's all about 'party life' and cars, I think I'll be passing..

Mind you, some gems like TDU where very enjoyable, but I doubt this is that kind of open world..

 

[pramath]

Am I the only one who notices that it's Microsoft Studios and not Microsoft Game Studios now?

TDU was a gem? sure it was kind of fun for a while to drive around with your buddies but the physics were terribad and the game got boring real fast, TDU2 was even worse

 

[Ninja Moomin]

WTF. that cover is disgusting.

Also from the look of it, they might as well call it 'generic racer 42'

 

[Noisepurge]

wow, looks like a shovelware title

 

[Musha_Soturi]

However bad that looks, I'll still end up being a Forza widow for a while again.

 

[D4Danger]

when was the last time you played a Microsoft published game? It's been like that for about a year.

 

[pramath]

Fable 3 on the Xbox, I think? Yeah, I think that was it.

EDIT: Was it like that on the Gears 3 cover too?
