Forza Horizon Gameplay Footage Races In

Forza Horizon Gameplay Footage Races In

It's an '80s-inspired frenzy!

Written by KeithBGray on 14 October 12 at 12:23

There are less than two weeks until the latest iteration in the Forza franchise, Forza Horizon lines up on the starting grid.

As a result, Microsoft has been revving up the amount of marketing media to near engine-busting levels over this past week. A veritable garage full of screenshots (covered in Part 1 and Part 2) were overtaken by, no less than, eight trailers showcasing different game modes and race types from the new title.

One of cars that featured in Part 1 of the screenshot coverage was the Ferrari F40. The supercar, first produced in 1987, is now the subject of a new trailer. The footage sees the F40 take on, and ultimately beat, other favourites from that decade.


The Forza Horizon gameplay demo is still exclusive to Gold members only, but it will be made available to everyone this coming Tuesday. Those of you who don't need the demo to convince you to race out and buy the game may be able to get your racing gloves on a Limited Edition version of the game, but you'll probably have to be quick!

Forza Horizon steers its way into retail outlets on October 23rd and 26th in North America and Europe respectively.

Video looks excellent. I've never had much love for Forza after playing the 2nd game, but I want this! Might try Forza 3 or 4 first though...

Doesn't look very different from all the other Forzas to me!
I guess I'll wait till the bring out the first Forza with full weather implemented.

Forza 3 and 4 are virtually identical to Forza 2 and even duller to play. This on the other hand is looking pretty good despite the irritating demo. Day one buy for me.

This is just a 4800 MSP DLC for Forza 4. Cant believe Microsoft is now stooping to Activision/Treyarch standards and is releasing the same game on the same engine each and every holiday season. Shame on you.

Shame on you.This is an open world racer, as opposed to a career/circuit racer, so pretty fucking sure it's not a repackage, dude.

I don't even like this series but cut the guys some slack. COD deserves the hate but not this release.

I'm a big fan of open world racers, going to play this and NFS:MW a lot when they release.
