Forza Horizon is an upcoming, open world racing video game for Microsoft's Xbox 360 video game console. Developed principally by British games developer Playground Games in association with Turn 10 Studios, the game will be a part of Turn 10's long-running Forza Motorsport franchise, but is considered more of a spin-off instead of the next true member of the series. The game is expected to be released on 23 October 2012. Official Site
Here's most if not all of the footage of the game shown so far:
Full E3 presentation with Playground Games
Live stage demo with Dan Greenewalt
On stage Forza Horizon Gameplay
Driver's Seat Cockpit Gameplay
Thought I'd make this thread so all footage and conversation can be contained in one area. This is easily my most anticipated game this year, looks like being everything TDU should of been and more.

No official word on the size as far as I'm aware other than it's going to be vast open world with lot's to explore. It's based on the state of Colorado, they promise a wide variety of environments to dive through, so not just desert as seen in the E3 demo. I'm pretty sure it's going to be big.
Fair enough but it's really nothing like Burnout Paradise. It uses Forza 4 physics which have been tweaked for off road driving so it's a true sim game engine based in a open world environment.
If you were to compare, then it's more like the Test Drive Unlimited series.
Altogether it seems quite a tempting package and I'm making sure I get VIP membership from the beginning rather than paying for it later down the line.
All the details of the LCE contents and Preorder Bonuses here
OK, so for some reason no store in the UK has the LCE up for pre-order yet. Not the best way to advertise your game. As the LCE is still only limited to 3 stores I think I'll be going with Amazon but it would be nice if they updated their page for the UK peeps as all the other non-UK Amazon stores updated the day this news broke.

Very good.
As soon as the code comes through it's yours, should be any day now, I'll PM it to you (obviously).

Still struggling to get excited for another forza game. I have std edt on pre order for £32, so no doubt the vip cars will end up as dlc at some point:)

A few new screenshots <here>
I hope some new footage is coming soon.
It's shaping up to be everything I'm hoping for. Upgrades and tuning are confirmed and your vinyl's can be transferred over so it's going to be every bit as customisable as FM4, if not more so.
So finally we are starting to see some info trickle in.
Here is the new behind the scenes series from T10 episode 1
I want this game NOW!!

Also something else I thought was pretty cool was a new feature that allows you to find derelict barns that you will come across throughout your travels and within them you will find a beat up old car which you can then take back to the garage and repair/build up. I think it's great that you will be rewarded for exploring the map, it's an important feature I think.
Here's some of the revealed cars so far. Part 1 & Part 2
