Forza Horizon

Mysterious "Forza Horizon" Trailer Surfaces on the Web
Written Saturday, March 03, 2012 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

A mysterious "tone" trailer for a titled billed as, Forza Horizon, has appeared on the web this morning, causing a stir amongst the gaming community.

The live-action trailer doesn't really give that much away, but does have the emblem of Playground Games at the beginning, the moniker Forza Horizon at the end with a fall 2012 release period mentioned within.

There's no saying whether this is real, but Playground Games' Gavin Raeburn, an ex-Codies Studio Executive, has revealed by his LinkedIn profile that he's working on an "unannounced AAA title for a major publisher."

The studio was previously rumoured to be working on the open-world Forza World.

Time will only tell what Forza Horizon is. Keep your ear to the ground. We will be.

I think it could be any of the following:
1) Name change for Forza World
2) The online network/game hub for previously mentioned game.

I'd agree with #1, Forza World sounds so yesterday, Forza Horizon is very much a marketing name change.

Even though this isn't it, I'm hoping for a Windows Phone Forza.

Yea it kinda does look like the Gumball 3000, where NFS: The Run didn't do so well in trying to add that in the video game world. I just hope it's what my eyes are telling me though, the cars, handling, and graphics of the Forza world, with the land mass, maybe even bigger, of Test Drive: Unlimited.

It's about time I say, it has the potential of being the greatest open world racing game, especially if we have the selection of current Forza games. Could be a long shot though. And it wouldn't require that much work, they could just use the cars from the previous Forza games, add a huge map, and there you go. I'd buy it.

Judging from the trailer alone, it looks terrible. I guess I'll wait until there's any information at all about what it is.

No way. Looks fake as hell.

They wouldn't be able to use Porche in the trailer for a start, and the basic font at the end is a dead give away.

I could be wrong, but I don't think I will be.

@16 EA's Porsche liscense ran out at the end of 2011, Turn10 themselves said they would be able to add it as an expansion pack to Forza 4 after that, or they're just gonna hold off for this new game

If there was ever going to be a gumball game, it would have to be a Forza gumball game.NFS the run kinda tried it but failed hard, and @21 nooo keep the bikes/car mix for PGR. Love every single Forza game, love PGR4, and still loving NFS hot pursuit, just hope team10 does'nt ruin the legacy by going more "arcade"

Would make sense that it would be a rally type game based on the title. Where "horizon" means you just keep driving, not courses with laps. That would be an instant buy for me. Ever since I played that Outrun rereleased on XBLA I thought "why doesnt' somebody make a modern game like this?" and NFS kinda falsely advertised their last game to be exactly that and it turned out to be anything but. Maybe Turn10 will make it happen.

@27 and 35 Unless I'm missing something, the article says this is a playground games venture not turn 10, so quality is not asured if this turns out to be an actual game.

Not sure if this was what #1 was talking about or if it was mentioned but it's probably going to be the Forza version of Halo Waypoint or CoD Elite.

The TDU guesses are probably going to be what this really is. I think the big racing game developers are starting to notice TDU is somewhat of a cult classic franchise they should consider ripping off. I remember when the first game came out and they only charged a $30 MSRP for it, and it turned out to pretty damn nice.

It could also be a SEMA or HIN type of game from all the car stunts and shows in it. Kinda like what Juiced did if anybody remembers that game.

I get the whole No Porsche thing, but they (Turn 10) are easily able to circumvent this (as they have in Forza 4) by using cars "re-manufactured" by RUF.

@55 :O They already know when Forza 5 is coming out? Seems like the next few years will be busy. Hope it's not becoming like every game out there and going with "hey, we need to release a game every year to stay popular". It's really not needed, the only thing I see needed really is Forza Horizon. An open world racing game with the engine of Forza, cars that handle like they would in real life, and not drifting on every corner like Need for Speed or having really crappy handling like any other racing game. If the other rumor is true, we should have some more information on this tomorrow, hopefully details on what it actually is.
