Usually the Forza demos come out a couple weeks before the game. So I would guess that it should be any day now that the Horizon demo will be available to the public. Not having weather in an open world racer really killed the purchase for me. At this point Horizon will only be a rental for me unless the demo convinces me otherwise.

TDU didn't have weather nor night, but it was very good game.
 
TDU2 had both though!

Thus proving that weather and night racing alone doesn't make a game better than one without, but that a game without them can still be better than with.... :banghead:. :crazy:

My point exactly 👍

Again.....Thats your opinion. You liked TDU1 better many of us like TDU2 better.

Again? Hmmm, I assume you've repeated this quite often to other people, because that post is the first time I've posted here in the better part of a year. :D

But yep, just like it's your opinion that not having weather kills horizon.

Not sure what points your trying to make other than you want weather and a demo, and that you like TDU2. What you seem to be arguing now is that because you (and many others) like TDU2 more than TDU1, and 2 has weather and night racing, 2 is factually better than 1.

That would be true as it applies to you, but doesn't make it true for those of us who do not find 2 to be a better game.

My Statement was tongue and cheek, however. If just adding weather and night racing alone automatically made one game better than another, then TDU2 would not have the reputation it has. For you it is better. For many others, the problems with the rest of the game overshadows that feature in an overall negative way. Weather and night racing alone did not make the game better for them

I also did not say TDU1 is better. I said it can be. For some it is. For others it is not.

In other words, my statement keeps in mind that opinions may vary, though, in retrospect, my wording may not have been clear on this.
 
Again.....Thats your opinion.
How is it an opinion? His point is pretty basic. Weather and night racing do not automatically make a game better than a game without weather/night racing.

If some publisher released an exact copy of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing with weather and night options added, would that make it objectively superior to every game that lacks those features? This shouldn't even be a question.
 
Can't wait to try it, if its what they say it is "an open world game with forza physics" then I should love it but how much have they dumbed the physics down is the question
 
According to the many that have actually played the demo at last weeks eurogamer event in London when all assists are off it feels very much like FM4.

However, I haven't heard anyone comment on how the cars handle once upgraded etc.
 
I was hoping PG would give me a demo announcement for my birthday. :lol: I can't wait. :D

From watching gameplay video, I think they were being totally straightforward when they told us "'greased the rails,' so to speak." You can find that quote in a number of articles. I take it that this is the same physics engine BUT the collisions have been tweaked. So the cars will drive exactly the same, but contact will be a bit more "slip n slide" to facilitate riskier driving and allow you to keep more momentum.

This could mean that online play will be a bit less hazardous. If collisions are less touchy, you're less likely to get knocked into the ditch. For a console game, FM4 is rather unforgiving on that.

As mentioned above the physics do look quite well and comparable to Forza 4. As for being an open world game, it is indeed that but with restrictions. You wont be able to just drive out anywhere on the map that you want. You will mainly be restricted within the limits of the main roads and shortcut roads. Looks like we get a golf course to play on but it hasnt been confirmed if that is just part of a shortcut or indeed an entire golf course playground. I still havent seen any pics or videos of more than 1 car on the golf course. So it will be interresting to see how much freedom we have. In a way it will be nice to have guard rails to help keep people on the course instead of flying way off the road out into the trees.
 
I know you love that other open world game, but I played said game last night, went off into the desert bit of Ibiza and couldn't have been more nonplussed. Unless the off-roading expected you to keep at low revs, and traverse sticky mud slowly, like on a recent Land Rover Experience I went on, it just isn't worth including.
