Didn't like it all that much, but given that FM4 demo had similar issues which weren't present...


How much is it anyway?

Didn't see/hear any handbags last night when a bunch of us got together in a party whilst playing?

In fact one person who had already stated they were not purchasing it changed thier mind and is going to pre-order a copy today I think.

Seeing as I found the forza4 demo "meh" but loved the game I think this one will be enjoyable (as I have enjoyed the demo quite a bit already).

That said I am going to try and stay off the demo for now so I can come into the game fresh, and I am going to start saving car designs as layer groups in forza 4 ready for the transfer over.

Had already pre-ordered, but not cancelling it smile The demo for FM4 was better focussed I think, and contained better cars to be frank smile

I will be buying it, but it'll be next year sometime, got a bit too much competition over the next couple of months and I won't have time as it is, plus I'll be getting NFS: Most Wanted and know I'll only really play the one racing game.

Probably when it's £15-20 but not a chance at full price.

I'll probably not bother until it's either in the bargain bin or several thousand pre-owned copies are floating around Gamestation. It's worth trying at least but I do hope the full game lives up to the hype, the demo definitely didn't and was a huge turn off for me.

Not even a mkI Mini can redeem it.

The new Need For Speed would get my vote over this. Looks a lot better. For the type of game it is.

i think we should just give it a chance and see what the full game is like.

No. I don't think the physics fit the gameplay, to sim like for the arcade racer the game wants to be. I'll be getting need for speed instead.

I'll be buying it a few months down the line, when it's cheaper. It's not a high priority game for me, and I'm not paying full price for it.

The joy of F4 for me is thinking "what would it be like to drive XXX", and treating it like a virtual Nurburgring test drive (I only play the ring, Kaido and old Le Mans), so Horizon should have been awesome fun, testing cool cars on something that look like real roads, but unfortunately the handling is so poor it doesn't feel anywhere near realistic enough to be fun.

It doesn't feel like a Forza game at all, and that is a real shame.

This. Assuming the demo is an accurate representation of the game.

I'll wait for the reviews, and see what my gaming buddies think before getting it. Wasn't too impressed with the demo, it wasn't bad as such, just find it ironic that all the "street" stuff that had been thrown in to liven it up a bit, actually made it feel very generic and bland for me.

I can't find this on the SF?
Is that where you guys are playing the demo from?
