Don't know if you guys saw this; but, I find it odd that Brian Ekberg (T10 Comm. Manager) would include this in the latest Week in Review.

Hype or a hint?

I'm not holding my breath... Odd nonetheless.

My opinion: Pure unadulterated hype.

Oh I hope so....
Forza physics open world would be absolutely fantastic. I'm just kind of hoping they put in city driving too, not just highways and backroads.

I've been waiting for an awesome massive open world free-roam sandbox type of game to come that has great graphics and physics. I give TDU props for taking a go at this, however like most say, the physics and graphics are what killed it for me. The idea of a free-roam open world driving game would be the best type of driving simulator for me. I would love to go online and gather up with some friends for a car meet, and then off to cruise around a beautiful island/city. I was hoping that the next Gran Turismo would offer this type of game, if not Forza. Hell I'd take both! I'm all for an open world driving simulator! Racing on a track is so repetitive and gets boring quickly for me. I love to have freedom to drive where I want and how I want. Unrestricted! There are a lot of online lobbies in GT5 and Forza 4 where people like a more casual experience, such as cruising around or just taking a casual drive, and thats where I think these type of games will shine and shed a whole new light to the series. Please make it happen.

Some ideas of where I'd like to have it:

The Big Island (Hawaii). Would make an amazing scenery and visual for driving and offer a lot of great places for taking photos. I would love to have Forza Horizon take place here. I know TDU already was based in Hawaii, but that was on the island of Oahu. Plus the graphics in TDU were a let down. If Forza can pull it off in the graphics department with breathtaking and realistic scenery of the island, then this game would be stellar beyond belief.

Release date (according to Amazon) is December 31.

I don't think this is accurate. Rather Amazon wants pre-orders, knows it is coming out in 2012, and instead of releasing the real date they put a date much later than the official release.

Regardless, pre-orders are now available and there is currently no mention of an LCE. But, I expect they will go that route.

Would be cool if cops were included.

What does this sound like, Open road, Loads of cars: The Best Forza Ever.

What does this sound like, Possible arcade-like physics, Cops: Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.

I honestly prefer the former.

Agreed, please no cops!

T10 will be focusing on the tired Forza Motorsport line, this is being developed in the UK by another team.

Why magenta, oh why!?!?!?!

It's looks girlish.

I never get tired of laughing at this.

I wonder if it's time to start a new Horizon subforum?

One was just made.
