Forza Horizon

[Adamm.]

I can't wait tbh always enjoyed NFS in the early days but it was just crap physics.

This looks like its going to blow most other free roam driving games out the water.

 

[ben81]

So no tuning, which I'm crap at.
No circuits so to speak which I'm also crap/inconsistant at.
Same cars albeit remodelled
Off roading (fun)
I think I'm in.
I just fear the amount of possible dlc...

 

[AK]

Where does it say no tuning?!

 

[Adamm.]

I think it just means you cant do it at the forza hub here. Would be stupid for them to not have that .

He continues to discuss the point of the Horizon Festival, and, describes it as the centeral hub of Forza Horizon. This is where you buy new cars, upgrade (but not tune)​

 

[AK]

Ah righty. If you watch the Gamespot vid they confirm modifications.

 

[Adamm.]

Cool forgot to watch it at home.

Was looking at this picture thinking I hope they add a bus into the game lol.

Reading that stance works link is getting me excited lol

I found myself in a race against an airplane through the mountains of Boulder. As I made my way down the hill, drifting through every turn (all that practice on Fujimi Kaido paid off!), the airplane kept up. It was an adrenaline rush as I crossed the finish line with less than a second to spare; my sense of satisfaction was unmatched. Forza Horizon opens up its racing simulation into a world full of top-gear style challenges, races, and hooning. Don't worry, there's still some serious racing action in there too.​

There needs to be a cliff, a bus and some Mini's so I can make the Italian Job

 

[KFRRS94]

Yeah you can upgrade visually, but I don't think engine mods have been confirmed yet.

 

[Eddie.]

There needs to be a bus.

Once the bus goes over 50, the bomb is armed.

Pop quiz hotshot...

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah you can upgrade visually, but I don't think engine mods have been confirmed yet.

No?

As you can see above, I bought an STI for an offroad race. All of the basics upgrade options were there​

 

[KFRRS94]

No?

I did say I don't think

Glad you proved me wrong.

 

[Adamm.]

Sorry mate wasn't being rude lol.

Yeah they would be stupid not to have performance upgrades in it.

 

[KFRRS94]

Yeah they would be stupid not to have performance upgrades in it.

Definitely.

Really looking forward to getting my hands on this game.

 

[AK]

Yep. They mentioned air filters as part of a short list.

Think he said 'things like air filters, roll cages etc'

 

[KFRRS94]

Think he said 'things like air filters, roll cages etc'

Chav tuning "I put a roll cage in and an air filter. I now have 300+bhp "

lol, hopefully they'll just keep the basics of what you can do in Forza 4 in.

 

[AK]

Yeah.

Confirmed also that you'll get gifted cars based on your FM4 save file.

 

[KFRRS94]

Nice one.

 

[Adamm.]

I'm still aiming for level 300 by the time Forza horizon comes out.

 

[DannyR]

My LCE has just been cancelled by GameStation? Anyone else?

Frame rate does look pretty poor actually. 30fps is very playable but I wish this was gonna be available on PC (or the next xbox for that matter).

 

[Turkish]

 

[Adamm.]

Can not wait for this now!!

Racing off road, day/night, the chance of some awesome pictures. I think its going to be awesome the stupid points thing doesn't look to big or much of a distraction either, no worse than the turn in and drift markers you get on FM4 anyway.

 

[Turkish]

If the physics engine is sound then the possibility of us getting a 60FPS more polished looking version of this when the xbox replacement hits is an interesting one.

 

[Silent_Scone]

So without delving I take it this will be running at 30fps? Does that mean we'll get weather effects too? Woop if so

 

[Turkish]

Yes to 30FPS, no to weather from what I've seen so far just dynamic time of day and 60ish different surface types.

 

[Munson]

30fps isn't a deal breaker. It's just that it kinda breaks away from the fluid 60fps that we expect from a Forza game, and in that regard seems like a downgrade (albeit understandable). I'll still buy it, but it's frustrating knowing that the hardware can't really cope, when the software technology is capable of so much more.

Get the new consoles out there FFS! It will be a great game though, regardless.

 

[B16DOE]

Was not up for this but watching that I want want

[Chapppers11]

Looks good that, unlike NFS you have to brake going around corners lol.

 

[AK]

I'm not convinced and I'm not sure why not, lol.

 

[jamo_182]

"its not just racing opponents its about racing the world"
love it

 

[Chris n nic]

That vid looks better than the others......pretty much forza on normal roads which imo is a perfectly timed change

 

[Christopher]

I'm not convinced and I'm not sure why not, lol.

Same.

It'll be awesome if all the aids can be knocked off and it's identical in feel to FM4.

 

[AK]

Yeah, like I said, I think it's the fact all videos are from the outside.

When playing FM4 it feels weird playing from the outside view.

 

[z8jay]

Always some c**t who can't drive, on these pre-release videos

 

[Gaz.]

I'm not convinced and I'm not sure why not, lol.

I'm still on the fence too. If I can just do my own thing and then race when I want to, and have a fair bit of tuning options, then I'll be happy with it.

 

[Ade182]

I just hope the drifting is as tricky to pull off as it is on FM4. That would make things interesting!

I loved drifting in FM4, such a challenge to link multiple corners in a single drift but when you did, you actually felt you had acheived something other than doing what any other person in the world could do with a few minutes practice (such as on the Need For Speed series).

 

[silentsnake]

Can you chav the cars up or is it just engine tuning?
