forza horizon Forza Horizon: An Open World Forza!!

[Eudemon]

Surprised about the "blocked in" sections but not so much in that they are inaccessible but in that they have actually made them blocked rather than going with a simple crash through the barrier and a reset back on the road method.

[T1M]

Not so surprised about Porsche and accessability really. But it'll still be an epic game. :)

[Ryzza5]

No wait, when I think back to a previous exceprt there was mention about water turning the dirt to mud was there not? :hmmm: Or did I just imagine that?

Sounds like something Nour Polloni said ;)

[calster17]

No porsche?

 

Simples reason why there's no Porsche...

 

DLC

=

And lots of it!

 

 

Well thats my guess anyway.

[Eudemon]

Possibly yes, but then maybe EA are thinking that MW2 will appeal better over Horizon with it exclusively having Porsche. If MW2 doesn't sell well (doubt this happening as Criterion have a respected rep) then maybe they'll look into sub-licensing again.

Evo IV confirmed with better pic:

Can finally do the Evo 6 Vs GC Impreza On the open road. :D

[Eudemon]

Excellent, I really do like that car though I think the V looked better.

No online lobbies

He said you CAN create online lobbies

 

 

Loved those little villages that were driven through and around ( was that guy lost).

Also noticed the map checking off sections of road... so no doubt there'll be a chevo for that.

 

And reward cars depending on your FM4 save level. Better get finishing it if you haven't already. :)

[Ryzza5]

How funny does that guy look at the end of the gamespot video wearing the red top when he receives a wristband. Gotta say the NPCs do look pretty good in this game.

 

Preordered the LCE edition today, will get the Ferrari 458 + Golf R in addition to all the other LCE bonus cars.

I can't wait for barn finds, already know they'll be much better than TDU2's car-hunting. Anyone know if the cars will need to be restored to original condition or just sort of..found?

[Ryzza5]

They're restored automatically, but you have to wait a certain time. Think of how you had to reserve some classic cars in TDU1 before you could buy them.

FORZA HORIZON – STANCEWORKS’S TEST SESSION

 

Nothing new in this article, but I saw a 1 M Coupe in one picture. :yay:

Well then. :evil:

Clubman JCW:

 

Are you sure this is a Clubman? Looks like the standard one.

 

I'm quite sad about the inability to drive everywhere you want to. Yes, you would get stuck with a supercar, but not with a SVT Raptor...

[Eudemon]

I like that you will have to wait for the car to be restored as such. That's a nice little detail I think.

[T1M]

Can't tell in that video if the BRZ looking car is just a blue FRS. I remember the AI having funky coloured cars in FM4 (like a red Reventon)

[Ryzza5]

Could be a nice little annoying detail if for some reason (cruise, photo comp, etc) you really need that car now :lol:

 

If the embargo is lifted today there should be a few more gameplay videos on the net, might go hunting for some later (or hope our resident fanatics do it for me)

If it's the FR-S they've got the blue wrong. However it's not exactly like WRB either lol.

[T1M]

Maybe they coloured it using the paint editor. :hmmm:

[TIMELESS]

Hmm :hmmm:

[calster17]

I'd guess it's just a Blue FR-S, dont think they'd be bothered to re-design some basic body parts and slap a new badge on. But thats just my thinking.

 

Also the Forza 4 reward cars? Im guessing it'll be like on 4 how pending your level on 3 you the cars on 4 from start?

 

Also was that 4 cars that got shown in 24 hours? Okay the cobra has officially been shown befour but still! Not long until we find the Dodge Omni in the game! :D :lol:

Yeah i'm assuming there not going to bother with the Brz because it is basically the same.

 

You sir have so much hope ;) I admire that :D

[calster17]

If the Omni is in the game, I'll laugh, then cry, then laugh, then make sure I get hold of the car from the start of the game! :D

[Eudemon]

Omni should be DLC, it's just that special!

[hassan1995]

If it does come IF i want a recording of your reaction Cactus :D

[The Compensator]

I posted this link in the FH Media Thread, but thought I'd share it there too.

 

* There's a matte paint option in the game.

* The map is huge. It takes 45 minutes to explore the world.

* The physics have not been changed. (ehm....)

 

Interesting article. I'm blown away. :D
