It was never a xbla spin off but is a spin off to the main.

I hope it'll be like TDU but in good.

TDU was awesome, actually. TDU2 ruined it.

"Coming this fall for Xbox 360, Forza Horizon combines the automotive thrills that Forza fans expect with a gorgeous open-road world that begs to be explored."

OPEN-ROAD WORLD!

It was. But the concept was amazing. A TDU-like with Forza's solid gameplay would be... stunning! Want.

What forza was meant to be, with it's type of physics, an arcade racer.

Okay- stupid trolls being what they are "What physics?" "duuhh..." Let's talk about the real issue- WTF is with that horrible cover!!??! That's worse than the physics in a GT5 game? Did anybody ever play that? Anybody? Ever? It's a supposed sim game on PS3... Anybody? Even heard of it...?

Well I think it was badly executed but the concept was amazing. And let's not forget that it was a very ambitious project while still very early in this generation of consoles. TDU 2 just botched everything.....

Agreed! That is one terrible looking cover. I hope that logo is just a placeholder. Yikes!

I got double as much posts as you and they were all more than triple the value than yours here so stop accusing me of trolling. Fact is that the physics in Forza are nothing compared to let's say iRacing..

No need to come here and compare it to real pc sims.

Problem is, it's not being developed by Turn-10, so we don't know for sure how true to the franchise this is going to be. I mean, how fucked up would it be if you could see your avatar driving? It would be SO wrong!

As for the PC "Physics" brigade, I'd rather have a racer that played well and looked the business, than some half-baked Open GL demo...

The cover looks like a lesser known "Blaknin' USA" title for the 64. Or a mid-level Indie release. Bullshot looks about as expected. Also, shut up nerds.

Its being developed by ex bizarre creations and Split/Second devs. Game is going to be quality, how it will handle i'll bet it won't be everyone cup of tea, but it will def. be good at it will try to acheive.

I very much doubt this is a sim, im sure it will be a mix of TDU, NFS and Project Gotham. Hopefully it's good and will do until Forza 5 and GT6.

I don't know if you are deliberately being stupid or you just are? Pathetic comments really, I was making a completely reasonable point and get slammed as being a troll.. Just look at your responses, childish to say the least.

Very true I won't argue with that but why shouldn't it be allowed to show a real example of a game which nails the physics of driving perfectly? They are not in the same alley, yes, but when one replies that this game trumps the rest in physics, I think it isn't too farfetched to show them that there is still a whole other level of simulation race driving games.
