Forza Series Discussion

This is one game I really want an Xbox One for, especially after the disappointing Need for Speed: Most Wanted (relative to Hot Pursuit).

The variety in the environments and driving look phenomenal, I actually can't wait to play this some time.

Like you, this is a game I'd want an XBox One for. The first one is probably the best exclusive on the 360, and such a great driving and racing game.  If there was a bundle for a decent sub two hundred quid price, I could definitely be tempted at some point in the future.

I passed on the first game because of Most Wanted, looking into picking it up in the coming weeks though.

On a related note Sumo Digital are handling the 360 version of Forza Horizon 2, but unless it has parity with the Xbox One version in terms of what you can do and the environments/handling I'll wait until I eventually pick up a One before I dive into that. I just have memories of Wii ports of other racing games being handled by Sumo Digital and them not being up to scratch with the games they were based off, though that may be due to hardware.

I played some of the first last night as it's part of games for gold.

Decent and has got my excited for the 3rd game in the series out this month, that I'm going to leave Forza Horizon 1 for the time being as I don't want to get burnout on the racing genre.

I've just downloaded the Gold one. If I enjoy it enough that I want more, I see myself skipping 2 and picking up 3.

3 is maybe the best racer in years, well worth getting if you can play it.

I had a little go on the demo. It was gorgeous to look at, that's for sure, but I just don't think this kind of racer is for me.

I'd love a new Excite Truck with modern visuals and lots of players, though.

I think I'll be picking this up towards the end of the month, I always wanted to try 2's multiplayer, but didn't have anyone to do so with, but my mate is picking up 3 so hopefully will actually get to try it.

Why you say that as seems to do almost everything and everything well

Nah, it's shit

I never know if you're serious or not.

I am always deathly serious.

Nah, it isn't a bad game it just wasn't for me. I like very arcadey racing games, and while this is more arcadey than a standard Forza it's still a little more involved than my ideal.

Sure, this sort of racer is the perfect spot for me as I want my Fiat 500 to handle different to a Ferrari F50 along with the tuning etc but I don't want full-blown sim like how GT Sport will be but not something like at the other end.

Some arcade racers do work well like Burnout but not many but most of my FH3 time has been online driving around doing silly things with mates.
