    Not bothered with the demo but the quality of the games has me insta buying it anyway.

    Watched a few streams looks amazing, the freedom, the views, the sounds, just cant wait to get my hands on the game. I'm tier six on Forza so lots of free cars straight away when I boot up.

    I never buy racing games but played this demo and loved it. Will be a likely purchase for me.

    I'll be getting an XB1 for Horizon 2 soon, the Forza games have always been great.

    I must be the only one that wasn't impressed by the demo!

    It looks and sounds brilliant but I wasn't a fan of the 2 races available in the demo, the cross country one and the circuit one. Felt they were very simplified, not much variation to them.

    The lack of a thread or talk here had me worried this only looked good to me but glad others are excited about it too, waiting on bundle tomorrow night for Xbox One and FIFA 15 so think this will be my second game :)

    It looks really great and makes me want to bend over and buy xbox one just for Horizon. One thing that really disappoints me though. 30fps in a racing game is really bad! :(

    I am not a snob for Fps, but I hate 30fps in driving games! Fps is really important in driving games.

    Is there any driving games on next gen that are 60fps?

    I say it was the weather effects and lighting effects for night time driving.

    A steady framerate is all I care about.

    Horizon is graphically and technically a lot more advanced than forza 5. Forza 5 had cardboard cut outs as crowds so tells you all you need to know. I imagine that's the reason why it's at 30fps as opposed to 60fps for forza 5. Horizon is a beautiful looking game and is much more demanding given it's open world.

    Honestly though, who cares if the crowd is cardboard. If you're watching that while playing you're doing it wrong

    This single handedly put me off buying Xbox one again and Forza horizon. So now the bare game 60eu then you got VIP pass and Season pass. **** this. At least they had common sense to take out micro transactions...
    Looks like I will wait when they will have Forza 5 and Horizon 2 Goty editions and then get xbox one.
