Forza Horizon demo
13 years ago
Ok a lot of you guys don't give a fuck. But I'm going to review the forza horizon demo.
I really liked it. Initial thoughts when i first started playing was it was going to be just another arcade racer but once i tweaked the setting a bit like in Forza 4 it had more of a simulation feel. Physics are still the same. On public roads it can be bad. Multiple times i came screaming into a turn sideways only to crest a hill on the other side of the turn and the negative Gs threw me off the road. not the 60fps like in forza 4. now only 30fps. Mainly due to the night and day cycle.
Graphics are what you'd expect from a forza game, fantastic. Its Very colorful and all the little details like the dash light turning on at night and the leaves in the road that blow up when you drive over them really make the game special. The soundtrack was also awesome.
The game kind of has a Dirt 2 feel to it. Meaning it really makes you feel like your part of the game and immerses you into the Horizon festival just like Dirt 2 made you feel like you were part of the off-road racing events. I'm not surprised because Playground Games are all former employees of Codemasters and they are the ones who developed Dirt.
All in all it is looking like its going to be a fantastic game. Great graphics and driving feel and is even friendly to players who aren't used to simulation games. Great soundtrack and open world environment. I cant wait for the game to be released.
Ace out.
