Forza Horizon Megathread: All info on Forza's upcoming game

I'm not sure how I feel about it, I like the idea of an open world cruiser. So it appeals to me in that aspect, it doesn't feel like forza but not arcadey as NFS or TDU.

When using the viper you never have to use the brakes it just grips round the all the corners at top speed... when on the dirt in the EVO it handles better (IMO). The Mustang is really tail happy but if you try to hold the drift it just pulls back straight really quickly it's really wierd.

I'd like to drive something else other than the Evo, get a feel of different cars.

sim steering feels diff with the controller, i can actually drive with it lol

even with traction off, the viper seems to hook easily while drifting /:

I guess they don't let you tune cars in the demo then. They didn't let you tune the cars in the other forza demos I recall. So maybe it will get much better in the full game. I'll have to download it today and give it a go.

6th gear cruising in the evo with music playing through the xbox = good way to pass time..

me and my buddy decited were going hold TONS of street racing lobbies, in the demo theres already 2 good dig/roll race spots and 3 meet spots

i love cruising in the evo and blasting past speed traps :p

Yes ^

For all the hate this demo is getting, I like it... ANd I think the game is going to be awesome! Though, it will not replace FM4 for me. It might be one of those, once I beat it, it's going back to gamefly... Wink

I downloaded and played it a bit using a controller (always used a controller). I can tell that simulation is more playable in Forza Horizon than FM4. I'm finding it a bit hard to compare the physics of the two as driving in the streets is very different than a circuit. I don't really get an arcade feeling playing FH though which was what I was most concerned about.

It should be a good game though, I'm kind of hoping that the horizon participants that drive around on the street is like the Tokyo Extreme Racer sort of battle that can happen at anytime. Can anyone confirm how its going to work?

from what i can tell they're just their to wreck CPUs in front u and clog the intersections
this is just what I've noticed in the demo

It appears that its just disabled for the Demo. Otherwise why the hell would the other opponents be driving around?

Likely disabled because there are roads blocked off, that the other cars just drive right through while you cant.

Have to admit I quite like it too! It is what it is, any rumours as to how much DLC it will have.
I wont go there if ti does.

BTW, does the demo save your game or do you restart every time?

you restart every time.

Lots of DLC.

Monthly car packs (6 cars each) and an expansion pack in Dec. 2 first day car packs also.

Me too, but I'm not holding my breath after hearing the tuning won't be as comprehensive as F4. Would be awesome though especially if they have the same design importer from F4.

sweet! thats great news! guess I have some layer groups to make then. Thanks for the info.

Event Organizer Posts : 2543 Join date : 2012-07-31

there are at least 5 or 6 full reviews out now for the full game. I read a few of them, all of them mentions the painting just like FM4, and you can import all your decal groups from FM4.

So basically

1. Keep painting on FM4
2. Import to Horizon
3. ????
4. PROFIT!!!! (sell on Horizon and FM4)

felt a bit arcadey....

I think people are looking at this game as if its a full blown simulator like Forza 4 is. I see it as more of a fun game like TDU was, only better.
