Forza Horizon

[Ben]

Can't wait for the Forza Horizon picture thread.

 

[DannyR]

This game is great, a bit arcadey but gets away with it.

Already at about 180th and one more race to my next wristband after Green. 33% upgrade discount too!

 

[Hixle]

Only had a quick blast in the corrado but it seems very good. Physics also seem decent, it's really missing the FM4 tyre sounds/model and controller feedback though. Nice to see that fwd behave as they should when chucked into the bends, decent bit of LOOS!

Photo mode is awesome. Can't wait to have a proper play.

 

[AK]

You seem impressed Luke. Feeling alright ?

 

[Chet]

I decided at 40% discount I should take a rest!

So much more impressed with this than I was expecting.

 

[Ben]

What are the exhausts sounds like? Couldn't really tell in the demo.

 

[Rich-D]

Loving this far more than I thought I would

Me and a mate have been doing a multiplayer free roam for the past couple of hours, great fun, the soundtrack is epic too

 

[dajones]

Judging by what people are saying I'm going to have bags of fun updating the Xbox over 3g data lol. Can't wait to play the game now seeing more pictures.

 

[JamieG]

I really really enjoyed playing this last night, the mini is epic!!

Found my first barn find too, Bugatti EB110, wasn't that easy too find, the game gives you a target area of about a mile radius in a built up area, tried to force my way through many logs that just wouldn't move!!

 

[Adamm.]

Yep I have found the M1 and the old Merc 300SL Gullwing.

I am really enjoying it too got my blue band now and actually finding the races very hard on expert difficulty probably harder than FM4 IMO as I never really struggled that much with the ai on that.

Got an old mini tuned upto B class and its mental, money is quite easy to make I have 500k and have been spending a fair amount.

Tried a bit of tag and its great as I expected although the crash physics sucks as its a lot harder to spin people out now etc.

I noticed that too, FWD is loads better on this than FM4

 

[Hixle]

Oh yeah, for anyone using Sim steering (I assume you are Danny/Adam), make sure you adjust the inner steering deadzones to 0 in the advanced controller options. 100% better.

 

[Eddie.]

Okay noob time.

What are the best settings for all the advanced controller options?

Ta.

Just the inside deadzone? Wont let me change outside deadzone any lower than 20.

 

[JamieG]

Adam, how long does it take for them barnfinds to get repaired?

I am using the same pad set-up I used for FM4. I'm on sim steering, forgot to change the deadzone.

I have found money fairly easy to come across too, I haven't paid all the map, it's plenty big enough IMO.

Have we got a car club set up yet?

Oh add me on XBL; Jamiegill88

 

[AK]

My Plymouth took 10/20 mins.

 

[Hixle]

Ta.

Just 0 on the inside steering deadzone dude. I've played around with the outside one, but it just makes it floaty.

 

[Eddie.]

So 0 on the inside will make it feel more realistic?

Kinda looking forward to having an hour on this tonight

 

[Turkish]

I'll fire up the demo again tonight and tweak the settings to see if it's any more tolerable.

 

[DannyR]

Demo doesn't play like the game IMO

 

[Hixle]

Demo doesn't play like the game IMO

I think it's the Evo tbh. It's just dull.

 

[AK]

The Aventador is a bit of a handful

 

[Turkish]

The evo, Viper and Mustang in the demo all gave a light (no mass/inertia) and vague feeling IMO. Is the game an improvement and more like FM4?

 

[JamieG]

Yeah, I found the raptor a real handful to drive, any hint of a bump it wanted to head in the direction it just came from.

I think once I get used to the roads ill be ok, just going to take time!!

The viper is a good drive, not as much as a handful as I expected. The cover car is always a good drive though it seems.

A e30 m3 will be my next drive I think tbh, mildly fettled to around 270/290bhp.

 

[Cookie]

My copy just arrived. Want to go home and play!

 

[N0ddie]

I bought one of those new Jag's (The one that cost 120000 credit) and fudge me does it like to go sidey ways lol.

 

[Tom]

Demo doesn't play like the game IMO

In what sense?, i thought the demo was great fun. Is the game better?

 

[sneeks]

Undecided if I'll buy this or not. The demo was fun. Which shop is offering the best price if I do decide to purchase?

 

[Gareth]

I'd imagine it's £40 in all the shops. I may buy it for £31.99 online, can't decide still.

 

[KFRRS94]

Just picked up my LCE from GAME. Shame I have to wait until 17.15 to go home and play it.

 

[Tom]

Why do i still have to go to a f**king shop? Should be downloadable.

 

[Eddie.]

Make you think you're buying something.

£60 and you get a nice metal tin.

People would go apes**t if they paid £60 for a game that was simply downloaded!

 

[Hixle]

In what sense?, i thought the demo was great fun. Is the game better?

It's better, only in the sense that it's a full game rather than the demo, lol.

I reckon the demo was the full final build. Pity about the lack of controller vibration. You'd think that with the '61 different surfaces' (I've counted 6), they would've taken advantage of something that previous Forza titles have donw so well.

It's very good though from the 30 minutes or so I had on it.

 

[Chris n nic]

Picking mine up after work but probably won't get on it till 8ish

Looks sooo good tho!

 

[DannyR]

In what sense?, i thought the demo was great fun. Is the game better?

As Luke says really.

The vibration makes the game an I suppose it is just the Evo being a bit dull!

But the Demo feels a bit crap in comparison to the game.

 

[Toby]

Can't wait to get home now!

Is there a CS group thingy majiggy?

 

[Chris V6 255]

Picked my LCE edition & season pass from GAME.
Traded a couple of games in & got the lot for £38 Happy days

 

[-Jason-]

Pre order didnt turn up from game so went to the store to buy the lce. Will return the Pre order when it eventually arrives.

 

[Adamm.]

I'm going to buy the dlc monthly only saves you 400 points and if you purchased the LCE then this month is free.

Some car packs might be rubbish so might not download them.

 

[cliosport667]

100% discount on upgrades now what do i buy
