Forza Horizon Announcement

What to Expect

An open world driving experience similar to that in various Need for Speed and Midnight Club games but likely with the realistic physics you expect from Forza.

R u still boycotting EA, even though we are now getting Porche

 

Yes, I am. They're dead to me..

 

What they did to Need for Speed has made me dislike them for years. I didn't buy a single one since Pro Street until Hot Pursuit came out. I bought that and was hugely disappointed so I decided I'd never buy another NFS title.

 

The Porsche license pushed me over the edge because now not only did they butcher the racing franchise that got me into racing games in the first place, they were screwing with my current choice of racing game.

 

And even now that they've given the license I have to pay $20 on top of the $130 I already spent to get cars that if it hadn't been for EA I would of had anyway. And they aren't even new cars, from what I've seen so far we're only getting cars that were already in FM3, aside from some newer versions of race cars that we already had. I doubt I'll be buying the pack until it's on sale because of that so EA is costing me another several months away from Porsche.

 

And, aside from 1 or 2, it's not like they make good games anyway. EA is all about pumping out games like they're candy, they don't care about quality or buyer loyalty so I don't care about them. Between Halo, Forza, Grand Theft Auto, Midnight Club, and the odd game here and there I have all the gaming I need. I just graduated from university and I'll be working full time soon so I don't need, or have the time, to play more than a couple games a year anyway.

Any Ideas / thoughts on release date? Christmas release?

 

It's open world? This is gonna be amazing..

 

My thoughts exactly! Just wonder how the competition side of things would work? or is it going to be more towards the street racing scene?

It's out in Fall. I think that means September.

 

Most Wanted 2 is the next one

 

Most Wanted was the last time I actually enjoyed a Need for Speed game. Still not going to buy the new one, Midnight Club gives me my arcade racing fix now.

 

omg... will we ever see a undeground lol

 

Honestly probably not. They were following the "The Fast and The Furious" craze with those games and it's died down among popular culture.

I agree with u skyline, EA don't give a shit about there games or quality. My all time fav game is MW, arcade wise. NFS was one of my fav series, but after carbon they have been going downhill. I hated shift series(they weren't all bad), prostreet, undercover and the run might just be the worst racing games out there.

 

One fine example from EA is its madden series, they barely improve each year. Ever since they got the NFL license, they had no competition, and there Madden games have been the same with few minor tweaks. They don't innovate at all. I hope Forza gets 2 teams and release a racing game every year. If there is competition, NFS and EA might just start to innovate and make better games.

ok just saw a demo on Spike, I noticed 206 roads that are drivable, there are the actual races ( i.e. festivale events ) but they said there are also the "illegal" street races that you can find, as mentioned before, night time driving, and I didnt quite hear the whole thing but something about you can race planes!? what?

 

Graphics looked sharp, he was driving the viper like a pu$$y though, he was kind of just going around in a circle, but nonetheless it has that arcade feel to. You get points for hitting fences, doing burn outs, hitting other car, driving on the side of the road, doing 180's, etc....

Release Date:

 

October 23, 2012

 

There's circuit racing, point-to-point racing, drifting, stunt driving, and more. You can drive off road and on 60 different road surfaces. At night you can enter illegal street races and in showcase events you have to race things like helicopters and fighter planes.

Looks like it will be a game for the developers to test the technology and the features we requested.

It it fails miserably, the core franchise will be only slightly hurt.

 

Anyway, looking forward to it but worried about some aspects (damage reduction, too arcadey, cockpit view, weather quality, DUBSTEP > <, too many empty open roads, stupid back story).

Yeah, they'll see if they're graphics hold up at night so they can have it perfected for FM5. Plus now that they have a working night model they should have time to work on rain for FM5. They'll also see how the physics engine holds up on dirt roads but I can't see that being part of the FM franchise.

I'm hoping for a good amount of traffic, the scene with the Viper weaving through has my hopes up so far. I don't want a stupid story either, from what I can tell so far there are speed festivals and you have to get to them by a certain time to enter them. Once you're there you do drifting, stunts, and crazy races.
