Forza Horizon might not be developed directly by Turn 10 Studios, but Forza director Dan Greenawalt has gone on the record saying he trusts the pedigree of the staff assembled at developer Playground Games.
It seems like for every year we wait for a new entry in the Gran Turismo series, we get one in the Forza franchise, but Forza Horizon is different. This isn’t the same simulation racer we’ve fallen in love with, yet that isn’t a bad thing; far from it in fact. The one issue that I personally had with Forza 4 was somewhat of a lack of variation in the venues. I wanted to feel like I was travelling the world, instead of being whisked away to the same track with a different course. But if we’re getting a Forza title that specializes in open world racing, that won’t be a problem.
Back in March, we saw the debut trailer for Forza Horizon. Okay, it was more of a teaser than a trailer, since it was one minute of live action footage, but it showed potential for atmosphere, music, environment, lifestyle, and the open road. Combine that with, say, the fact that Microsoft is planning to reveal a Spotify-esque service at E3, and we can have a perfect marriage of racing and music that I remember back in the day with Project Gotham Racing 3.
But here’s what could make this open world racer stand above the crowd: it’s Forza. It’s about customizing your ride, tweaking and tuning, designing paint schemes and decals, taking a Scion and making it run with the big boys. Best of all, this is all in the hands of a team that has worked on Project Gotham Racing, Blur, DiRT, GRID, among other racing titles. Playground Games is no stranger to the racing genre, not to mention they’re undoubtedly in good hands with Turn 10 looking out for them.
Will it be everything Test Drive Unlimited was supposed to be? An online only Forza? Something even better? Or will it, *gulp*, flop. We’ll find out soon, but when you consider everything the game has going for it, there’s no doubt as to why we’re excited to get our hands on with Forza Horizon
really excited for this!

I am making hot chocolate (the hot chocolate that comes in the packets) and I like using hot milk instead of hot water because it makes it richer. My microwave is broken so how do I make milk hot without a microwave? And if it is on a stove or something like that, what do I use and how long and what temperature. Answer quick. Thanks!

What was that song in the video they showed at e3
How quickly can one get promoted from E3 to E5 in the Army? I am a little confused about the promotions in the Army. I’ve heard some people made E5 in four years starting from E1. My MOS is 68W. So what is the promotion rate and turnover rates are like in the Army? Current and former Army personnel please. Thanks.
Thanks in advance!

My dad switched satellite companies, and sadly that means I can’t watch G4′s annual E3 coverage because I don’t have G4.
So what is the best way to watch E3 2008? Is Spike TV doing something? Or is there some online sites?
However because of my slow internet, video sites would be a pain, but still recommend them if you have any
Now that E3 is over, which presentation do you think was the best? worst? Are you thinking about buying a new console after the presentations?
Hi I was planning taking my little brother to E3 Convention Center show & I live in far south California. Does anyone know where I could buy tickets & which city is going to be? Thank you.
P.S. How much is it buy other way?
To Tifer F,
Are you sure bro because my friend went E3 show on last year & he’s just a bartender.
My husband is out on a deployment and before he left he was moved up in rank. We still have not see that money for him being moved up and that was back in june. How much more should we be seeing from e3 to e4 in the navy? someone told me 200 dollars more is the correct?
I currently have 20college credits and I’m thinking of joining the Army or Air Force. How many more college credits would i need for e3 in both branches?
Well im a hugggggggggggggge gamer and i’ve been wanting to go to E3 since the first one.
How much would the tickets cost to go? Plane ticket? Covered. Food? Covered. Hotel? Covered Transportation? Covered. All i need to know is how much the would the ticket cost to actually get in?
Im a pretty wealthy man so please help.
Thanks!
No it is open to the public.
I’ve seen people who are not in the video game industry go.
I even know a few.
For a project I am working on, I was wondering how much it cost to host an event like E3. Like the starting cost ect. that goes along with it.
I know with the rank of eagle in boy scouts you can join the military as an e2, but I heard with some additional schooling you can get all the way up to e3. I’d like to get as big of a start I can, I also have hopes of joining the special ops (Marines). Any information will help, thanks!
How many days is E3 going for? I know we’re on the 2nd day right now.
