Was this from some strange games site ive never heard of?
think i found it

yeah, i spoke with them on fb and they said the game will be dispatched in time to arrive on release date!

and they have quite a few fans on facebook/competitions etc going so i guess they are legit.

Gamestation,

The DLC looks and sounds worth it, but thats if you enjoy the game so far.

i'm still iffy though

Yeha, the thing that annoys me is that the VIP pack inculdes some serious must haves.
Can I play the game without the huayra and rt12?? HMMM

Eliot · 23 Oct 2012 at 14:20

Hmmm, Gamestation arent saying anything about the Italia?

grudas · 23 Oct 2012 at 19:52

it will be released in the future

same as with fm4 vip pack..

i can live without it, im not even sure if ill keep the game for long either! we'll see how i like it

wasn't a fan of the demo.

It's on the product screen for forza horizon. bottom left, italia.

BUT in game is the spider version, so eitherway you will get to drive it.

here's a review, I'm going to pick up a 360 and this game, I love the look and idea of it.

That reviewer bloke is a knob, couldn't watch it beyond 2 mins.

Mines despatched, should be here tomorrow, being off work this week is a bonus.

grudas · 24 Oct 2012 at 13:08

got mine early from the shop which sells it for 31.99

AtomicBanana · 24 Oct 2012 at 14:33

Finally got mine + Season pass today. I get an LCE tomorrow as well

So proud \o/

In that case i'll go for another preorder bonus then...
Hmmm what one would work out best i wonder.
Although the coupe is cooler?

Eliot · 24 Oct 2012 at 17:00

Ah man i just dunno what to do with this at all
59.99 is a bit steep. But not having the Huayra rt12 and mostly the agera will annoy me no end.

I wouldnt mind the coupe ferrari but also want the sls amg.
Then theres the addition that you can get it for 31.99 if you stomch the fact your not getting any bonuses.
Which may win in the end.

Atomic Banana, Whats up with the cool box?

grudas · 24 Oct 2012 at 17:14

60quid is steep! nearly double the price

meh, ill get them in the end

the game is quite good, and it does feel fm4-ish, i would say the demo was a bad representation of the actual game.

Eliot · 24 Oct 2012 at 17:38

think ive decided im just going to stomach the 31.99 one with0 preorders and get the cars i want with oit the pass

I was one of the lucky 10 at work who got given the 'press pack' from turn 10. They promise we should have our LCEs tomorrow as well - gonna get it signed and framed I think

after reading i berts post i decided to try with a pad and outside view, something struck me straight away...its so easy, in regards to using a pad not the view, well actually view does make you negotiate turns better and see cars coming that you wouldnt see in cockpit view.....anyway after using a wheel for the demo(and ive completed the demo several times with it) how come with a pad all assists off, sim steering, its easier than using a wheel? stays in control more, braking is easier more grip even!!!

the plane race, just before the very first checkpoint theres a jump where if you take flat out, it can get you out of control very easily with a wheel, with a pad theres no worries.

every driving game ive played besides burnout paradise ive been instantly better when using a wheel, mcla/dirt etc but this game its like the other way round....although i still think im quicker with the wheel, after the impression i got from the pad, im pretty sure i could get quite faster using it instead of the wheel......

any1 else notice?

grudas · 24 Oct 2012 at 20:57

pad should be better for all games i reckon - you can steer/accelerate/brake faster with thumbsticks than havng to turn a wheel or press the pedals, as long as you can be smooth with the thumbsticks too
Horizon prob doesn't need you to be as smooth as other games
