Forza Horizon

i think this is a good find, this video is in german, but finally a video where a guy goes at speed and also he has all the aids turned off, i can kind of see the forza 4 physics in here slightly

BEHOLD! if you are getting this game, i have just found a gem of a video for you, it shows you the map which i must say is a good size for the quality and see a bunch of other cars and random gameplay

check this video out, a little long but its pretty good

oh yeah i watched that before, good interview and gameplay

also in that interview with ralph fulton someone took screen shots of all the map and this is what they made, which is pretty epic but does show it isnt going to be a huge map but for the detail it is great, im sure theyre just held back by the limitations of the xbox

the playstation isnt at all as limited. im curious to see what gt6 could/would bring ot the table as far as open world could go. just a thought.
unrelated to driving but related to the amazingness of openworld and its limitations; have you seen the openworld MGS thats coming out soon? when i watched the cinematic i thought it was live actors. the FOX graphics really put every game to shame interms of graphics. theres my two cents. and for horizen i see myself spending 40 bucks for it maybe. but not the kind of cash i put down for forza4+dlc.

I cant wait for horizon!

Not really into this type of game. I guess I am more of a purist...Only enjoy realistic (as available to me) racing games, and shooters. And Madden. Horizons, Need for speed, don't appeal to me. meh, to each his own.

thats a fair and honest opinion, though this game is supposed to have a realism factor about it, also can someone help me out they are showing all new footage and interview on the game at 1am TONIGHT on spike tv for america, but i dont know what time that is here in England (GMT), can someone find out and tell me what time it will be in England so i can try to watch it online? thanks

Should be around 6 or 7 am depending on where you are in England. Check in around then to see if its on.

I think he was talking about the whole daylight savings. but its 5 hours forward. 12 noon in EST time zone is 5pm GMT.

Ehhh, can't really say I'm looking forward to this game. I mean, I get why people like it, but I dunno. This just seems so un-forza like.

I think that's what they are going for. Expanding their name. They are the best when it comes to platform race simulators. Now they are going after open world. Forza Motorsports is at it max now, other than anothwe advancement in the driveability of the cars and the graphics. Its the dominant track simulator right now. Why not expand and get an even larger fan base? Now they will be the best at a racing sim and the best open world game going after a whole new crowd, going after a whole new genre. I for one will be getting this game. My only hope, even if the game tanks, is that for fm5 the new ambient lighting and turn from night to day carries over. Throw in some rain and longer racing options and I'll be satisfied.

True, as long as it doesn't have need for speed type physics, than I guess all will be well.

If they took GT5's dynamic rain and lighting system, along with the little features to go with that like the whipers, headlights/highbeams and the flash 'em button then the game would have a really nice feel for the day/night and weather. little details are where games really feel well polished. take a great game and expand on it until you think you have it right and then add in the little things. i think thats why so many last gen ps2 games were great. san andreas comes to mind, mostly because it had more features and little things compared to gta4. as these systems are reaching their limits you will see the fine details come into play.

Exactly right sainted. Nicely said.

They said before they wont take forza motorsport off 60fps and they cant make a night race with headlights to work at 60fps the xbox just isnt capable yet

on other news i pre-orded Forza Horizon LCE

What's the LCE part? I preordered mine and I haven't heard of this LCE.

Limited Collectors Edition

thanks piihb.

And for the 60fps vs. night. Well. if im not mistaken theres night driving in horizen. if they can work horizen to allow for the night time then i feel like there is a way to allow for it in a fm5. if there is an idea, then there is a way to make it happen.

also. did anyone else think that the night wasnt dark enough on those vids showing night time driving? it had a lightened hue to it (maybe it was the camera quality) once again going back to the only game that has decent night driving gt5, i really like that if you set it to the night'est' settings than you cant see past your headlight st the ring. thats some edge of your seat exciting. to me its one of the only things missing in forza. ifi could get the thrill of thinking "holy sh** is the next corner in 100ft or 500?" while doing 140 on the hardest track (imo). the thrill is like a roller coaster. maybe they wont be able to have night *and* weather at the same time but i'd settle for them as individual features where you can choose them for races. dont get me wrong its not a demand, its jjsut something that i would be ecstatic to see.

Ahhhhhh well DUH. lmao hmmm thinking about it 30fps isnt bad as long as it never dips. if 30fps is the lowest it will go then it wont be bad. matter a fact. 30 frames isnt bad regardless. maybe im not a very expensive date when it comes to videogames but i dont see much of a prob. however i wont lie the 60 is so smooth on the game however without really thinking about it i wouldnt notice it all that much. maybe they can find a median, or say in a disclaimer to the quality that "activating this feature will cause that race to run at a lowered frame rate due to strain on the system" who would really complain if they acknowledged the difference and explained it out?

Has anyone preorder horizon yet and if so did they give you a code to get the dodge
