forza horizon Forza Horizon: An Open World Forza!!

[Eudemon]

I've added the trailer to the first post and I got to say it looks rather nice and jolly good. :D

[Paladin Skylark]

It has Forza 4's physics. Did nobody read the preview released yesterday??

[Eudemon]

That doesn't mean it will be exactly like FM though as it's easy to tweak physics from what they started out as. Bizarre Creations used to state that their physics engine was rather complex and could be used for more sim-like handling but is tweaked to provide the perfect balance for PGR. :)

As long as it gives me that thrill of just cursing the open road that the first TDU gave me, i'll be happy!

Also having the Dodge Omni and AW11 MR2 as playable cars would make it 20% cooler!

 

I have a feeling that same of the cars seen in the trailer are just AI 'randoms' going about there own business. If all the cars from Forza uptill now arnt in the game, i'd be suprised if thats a playble car!

I see what you did there.

I also noticed a PT Cruiser and Ford Raptor as traffic.

Optimised FM4 physics as VVV mentioned on their website.

 

I'm on a mobile and it is slow. Sorry :lol:

Obviously clearly have to tweak them slightly. Forza 4 was meant for tarmac lol.

Over 60 types of terrain though? I can't even name 7...

[Eudemon]

Could they be traffic or simply a version of FM4's rivals and show only in offline events? There's still things we need to see and know and hopefully the game will be on the floor and I imagine it will as Forza loves E3 and they usually hook it up in many guises for all walks of player to experience. It is after all only 4 months till release day. :)

I'm thinking traffic since it's an open world game. You don't just have an open world without traffic..

[iLLGT3]

I have a feeling we're going to have an NFS look alike here.

[hassan1995]

Yeah based on what i've seen and read it does seem a NFS-HP look alike game and potentially similar in terms of gameplay and they way the open roads can be accessed like no pedestrians as it is based around highways and larger roads :mhmm: Never the less it still looks like a promising game..

[superhyper]

I read a preview somewhere where they said the physics weren't modified too much from FM4. So I'd say it's nowhere NEAR Hot Pursuit >_> Unless you could always drift 300kph through a hairpin in a Veyron in FM4 :hmmm:

[Beav]

What a video! Can't wait!

[The Compensator]

There's already a list of cars from the trailer on igcd.net

 

New Beetle, PT Cruiser and Taurus look like they're supposed to be traffic cars. :nods:

[iNotACactus]

Why would they go through the trouble of modeling and licensing AI traffic though? Could very well be playable still.

Well the game looked stunning visuals wise, night time looked great and the surrounding lights and seeing the stage lights and such was cool. Quality wasn't excellent so I couldn't tell if the car got damaged when it hit some of the traffic cars but all the same it looks promising indeed.

[hassan1995]

Print screening FTW :D Video quality wasn't the best....

 

 

 

 

 

[Camel]

206 roads, is that all? :(

[CarMadMike]

How many were in TDU and TDU2?

[iLLGT3]

Yeah, looks like it's going to amount to nothing more than a mix of NFS, Blur, and DiRT.

[T1M]

I wonder if this game has dashboard cam. :hmmm:

[iNotACactus]

Dashboard cam is a deal-breaker, no way do I want a game in this day and age without that yet utilizing high-poly models with abundant details.

[T1M]

Yep, especially since they're already modelled.

Because they have the time and money to do such a thing?

Disagree. This is Turn 10, despite Playground Games being on board - I trust Turn 10.

Cockpit camera is confirmed, as is 30fps.
