Anybody here playing Forza Horizon?

I'm hooked at this game and currently maxing out my C63

If it turns out that there are lots of players here, we can create a club in-game and schedule a free roam night

I just got a PS3 and am actually playing GT5.. I too saved my pennies and got a C63.. I left it stock to see how it was.. feels a bit sluggish compared to real life. And heavier.. So when I have time I'm going to do updates to it as well.. maybe tonight if I have time. =)

I have been playing - really enjoying the C63 Black, it's a beast in game (not even fully tuned). It's a fun game overall, definitely a change from Forza 4

Yeah, there's just a lot more things to do in this game. Really digging the open world concept. Do you do multiplayer?

^^ Agreed.

By the way, the Honda Challenge car pack is coming this Jan 15 for FREE!

It will feature the 2013 Honda Civic Si Coupe and the 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe among others. It will probably make me nostalgic of my old JDM days

Yeah, I like the rally mode also - although it could be vastly improved. It does make me miss the DIRT games. Open world concept is cool, and I do miss Colorado roads, fun driving roads! I can do multiplayer, donesonict is my gamertag. I haven't really done multiplayer, since I just got my 360 back.

Ever since I heard the game was open world concept, I have been trying to justify the purchase of an XBox just to play the game!! I only have a PS3 at the moment...

Agree. I had trouble playing it with the older wheel and pedal setup so I sold it. Driving games suck with a controller.

I own both games and I enjoy Forza Horizon much better than Forza 4. The former just has more replay value and there a ton more to do in it. The Horizon cars also look more realistic, the ones in Forza 4 are just too shiny for me.

The car physics are just aweful in Forza Horizon.
It feels like I'm playing a Need For Speed Game where I can drive at 300 MPH etc etc.
It just feels more like Dirt- another automotive video game.
I liked the simplicity yet tunability of the cars in Forza 4.
Horizon just seems more like a Gran Turismo or other late Need For Speed Game.
Need For Speed games used to be good.
I remember playing Need For Speed High Stake when I was younger and it was cool.
However, Forza 4 and Horizon are in two sperate leagues completely and two very different games.

its no man cave...

I love playing both forza's. I enjoy riding around in horizon, but when i want to get serious i play forza 4, we diffently need a club and free roam night, kinda sick of being slammed into by every idiot in horizon, knowing that im riding with other mercedes drivers would be pretty cool too. Also notice my cheap german alarm system on the right, he doesnt make much noise all the time, but he wont hesitate to bite you in the face in your attempt to steal my car! had my first crotch rocket stolen like 7 years ago, now i got a german dog to go with my german car.
