Forza - HORIZON

Stolen from Forza Planet.....

According to the site, the game will maintain the physics from Forza 4, but optimized for off-road as there will be 65 types of terrain ranging from mud and gravel to grass and asphalt.

It’s an open-world racer with dynamic day and night cycles, and takes place in Colorado – as you can see via the screenshots below. Looks a bit like Route 550 to us.

The game will also contain gas stations, paint shops, car dealerships and players can race various vehicles in the game, including a plane.

According to Forza Life, the game is slated for release on October 23, 2012.

Expect more information on the racer Monday during Microsoft’s press event at E3.

Oh I so can't wait
 
Forza Horizon looks so amazing. This will be a 1st day buy for me. I wonder if there will be police and/or traffic? I'm not really a fan of the Forza Horizon logo though.
 
Oh. My. God! :drool:

Forza physics with that terrain? Instant preorder. I wonder if there'll be Porsche though? And a plane?! That'll be interesting.
 
C'mon Kaz, I really don't wanna buy any XBOX, but I'm getting very tempted!

This.^^^^

However, I'll leave and never look back (after buying the Xbox, Fanatec wheel, and of course the Forza's).

Forza Horizon is shaping up to be the greatest video game ever for me.
 
Sold. Very very sold. If this can do right what every open world game has done wrong. This could potentially be the greatest game ever.

Let the car list speculation begin. How many will carry over from FM4?

If they do it right, it will be the best game ever. As far as cars lists, I hope the whole Forza 4 list makes it. As long as they don't make it NFS style theme, I'll make the jump to XBOX. Let's hope these planets align and it comes out as good as we hope!
 
^ I'm loving how Forza Horizon is turning out, it's looking great. Get the classic Mini in and you got me but over I'm falling in love with this game.

Quite a few of us did just that with FM4, as a result I fire GT5 up for the updates drive for 5 and switch it off. As a result Horizon is now just the icing on the cake, seriously can't wait.

On a deepest wish side of things (its unlikely but I can hope) I would love the entire FM4 car roster and also all the DLC as well, including the race cars as I would love the ability to set-up Point-to-Point events, hill climbs and Rally events in Horizon and we need the race car roster for that.
 
You know what would be absolutely awesome IMO? Seasons. All four of them, fall colors, spring flowers, summer heat working against your already taxed radiator, and my personal favorite; SNOW! I know there would be some problems, like how that shiny new viper they're showing would get around, but it would be great fun in all the cool SUVs that forza offers! Maybe just mild patches of ice and snow at night and in the morning. But off road? Oh Yeaaah! Im so hot for forza right now!
 
So i just say the preview for forza horizon and it looks like its exactly what pd wanted to integrate into gt5 with the free roam..

Did anyone else see this?
And do you guys think gt6 will follow suite ?
 
Wrong forum and no, I don't think that is what Kaz was imagining at all. He spoke about driving legally with road rules, not what that video just showed.

How do you know what is "what PD wanted to integrate into GT5 with the free roam"?

Forza Horizon is game like Test Drive Unlimited (of this gen) or Mercedes-Benz World Racing (of previous gen).

I see only your speculation (wishes) here.
 
I was basing it off the free roam idea and there seems to be some track events (kinda like nfs pro street ) it seems ..

Wrong forum. It's arcade anyway.

I know forza physics isnt as good as gt5 but if they keep the physics they have now it wont be an arcade free roam..

But that is like what Kaz thought of how? Those cars were at no point respecting driving laws and keeping to the speed limit. So except the fact it's 'free roam' no, I don't see any similarities.
 
So there really isn't going be license plates on the cars? WOOOOOOW. Not that I'm complaining or anything which I'm NOT, but people are gonna take it serious... So yea, I agree with SimonK. What Kaz wanted is different from from what Horizon has.

Edit: Nevermind the traffic cars themselves have license plates but not the main cars? O_o

The important difference: one actually exists.

"What Kaz wanted" has absolutely nothing to do with Forza Horizon. "C-Spec" was borne out of rampant speculation from the fans and one (characteristically) vague comment from Yamauchi. The GT series is not the birth place of every idea relating to automotive games.

And, since we already have an established thread for this, they're now merged.

But honestly no one would follow traffic laws in a free roam game unless there was serious penalties to it.. And i only said this because i heard pd with free roam idea (didnt look into details because I know it wasnt going to happen)
