Well there does need to be a balance with open world games and I agree with your take on driving around between events.
Burnout Paradise was like that when it was released initially and I hated it. You would lose a race on the line after twelve miles of racing and then have to drive back twelve miles to start the race again. It was horrible and caused uproar. They patched it so you could jump to events direct and it was much better. The NFS games are the same (same developer, so they couldn't make the same mistake again!). I am less confident of Horizon however. I think it will probably be far duller than the new NFS. But not everyone who plays these games is a rammer as you say. In fact, I think I have had the best races on those type of games more consistently than standard racers. It is much, much harder to ram people on an open road for a start as there are so many escape routes whereas a circuit racer is all about the line and, if you stick to that line, you are basically a big target for idiots with no brakes. I don't think they will necessarily migrate to this type of game either as they are a fair bit harder. |

As the announcer would always say at the end of the night's racing;
"Remember ladies and gentlemen, racing is for the track. The roads are just for getting there." Sums up my feelings on the whole "open world" racing games rather nicely. |

Does it at least let you skip more of the cut scenes than the demo did? Felt like I was watching a movie with a little gameplay in the middle.

There is little in the way of movies really. They aren't skippable, but they aren't too frequent either.

There's cutscenes at the start and when you unlock a new type of event-for example street races, but thats about it. You wont be bombarded with them throughout the whole game if thats what your worried about.

Just thought I'd drop by and say the cutscenes, which aren't very common, are actually skippable. Hit A and then the Start button (The one to the right of the Xbox logo button) and that's it.

Bought this game when it came out and if they use the handling from Horizon for Forza 5 I will be really impressed, as it so much more realistic than Forza 4.
Had fears when the game was first advertised, but this game is awesome with the variety of challenges and speed camera rivals. Also, the fact that they based it on Colorado, but DIDN'T use the actual roads like TDU2, which made better racing. |
