Forza Horizon has been out for about six months, which is enough time for any game to start running out of gas. Playground Games has released a new expansion today aimed squarely at prolonging its lifespan, with new cars and 1,000 new challenges to conquer.
The next downloadable content pack for Forza Horizon is coming next week, on February 5. Titled the "Jalopnik Car Pack," it will bring six new cars for a cool $5 (400 MSP). As with the other packs, it will be free for Season Pass holders, who will also be able to grab their bonus February car.
Forza Horizon is revving up for the next of its monthly car packs, the January "Recaro" pack. It will be coming next Tuesday, January 1, to help you ring in the new year in style. It's part of the pricey Season Pass too, so if you've already paid you can just watch the cars roll in.
On this week's episode, Garnett, Jeff, and Jeff are joined by special guest Jason Paul from Naughty Dog. Cannata and Mattas explain why they're both enjoying Assassin's Creed 3 quite a bit, before everyone jumps on hype train for the recently released info about Grand Theft Auto V. Racing games Forza Horizon and Need for Speed: Most Wanted also get some "compare and contrast" discussion, and then the show wraps up with some Finishing Moves and a brief NFL Tail Gate.
If you plunked down the $50 required to buy the Forza Horizon Season Pass, you have six cars coming your way. The first monthly car pack, called the "November Bondurant Pack" drops tomorrow. Microsoft has detailed the half-dozen speed machines you can give a test drive.
Forza Horizon's SmartGlass application, promised as one of the first to be supported in Microsoft's new initiative, has launched today. It's available now on Windows 8 PCs, and adds an interactive map of Colorado that interfaces with the game.
Forza Horizon has been the subject of much discussion for its pricey season pass. But now that its October 23 launch is quickly rounding the corner, developer Playground Games has shared some more details on its various DLC and expansion plans.
Forza Horizon is gearing up for its October 23 launch, but you can give it a spin and get a bonus livery for doing so. The demo will be available on October 9, and Microsoft and Playground Games have released a trailer to celebrate.
Playground Games recently mentioned monthly car packs for Forza Horizon, along with a larger-scale expansion pack. Today the company detailed its Season Pass, which will grant you access to the expansion, six car packs (of six cars each), five exclusive vehicles, and a launch day pack.
Like most racing games, Forza Horizon appeals to our gearhead. If there's one thing car nuts like more than cars, it's more cars, and Playground Games plans on enabling that particular habit with monthly car packs. Design director Ralph Fulton explained how it will be rolling out the new content.
In this week's game-packed episode of Weekend Confirmed, Garnett Lee, Jeff Cannata, and Jeff Mattas are joined by regular guest Christian Spicer, and special guest Phillipe Bosher of Buried in the Credits. The crew discusses whether or not Guild Wars 2 brings a breath of fresh air to the MMO space, and a host of other games get some love as well. Forza Horizon, The Walking Dead, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, and Thirty Flights of Loving are just some of the games on tap for critical dissection. And of course, things get wrapped up with a healthy dose of Finishing Moves.
Despite a now decade long history spanning four consecutive games, the creative team behind the Forza series never set out to make driving sims, at least not according to its creative director, Dan Greenwalt. I'll take him at his word because I get the point he wants to make with such a dramatic statement. The motivation that drove their work came from passion for cars. Simulation racers just happened to be the natural outlet for that energy in the videogame world when they sat down to do it. With Forza Horizon the team hopes to find a different expression that triggers a more emotional response. As he says, "a Ferrari pulls up next to you at a light and you're going to have a reaction." It's that same sort of thing Forza Horizon hopes to inspire.
Included with the $80 Limited Edition version of Forza Horizon is a VIP membership that grants access to additional content. For example, these cars are exclusive to VIP members: the 2012 Audi R8 GT Spyder, 2011 Koenigsegg Agera, 2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, 2012 Pagani Huayra, and the 2011 RUF Rt 12 R.
However, VIP members also get other benefits as well. A VIP icon will appear next to their Gamertags when playing online, so that everyone else can know they've paid more for the game. There will also be exclusive Rivals Mode events for VIP members.
Forza Horizon will let you start cruising the roads and highways of Colorado beginning in late October, but pre-ordering the game will get Forza 4 players immediate access to a 2012 Dodge Challenger, as well as a token to unlock one of four new cars when the game launches.
Garnett continues his brave journey through the sprawling madness of E3 to bring you another Shacknews Daily. This time, our man on the inside talks about the freedom of choice in games like The Last of Us and Dishonored. Then, he kicks it into high-gear with thoughts on Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Forza Horizon. Finally, Garnett peers into our crystal ball for games that probably won't be out for a while: Watch Dogs and a video of Final Fantasy running on next-generation hardware.
Check out today's episode of Shacknews Daily.
