Forza Horizon still has something nice to say about the 370

Naenyn

I made us a group in Horizon. The tag is "TheZ" ("370Z" was taken). If the "370Z" group is on here, let's merge. Otherwise, request to join and I'll add ya.

If we don't already have a group set up for Forza 4, I can make us one there, too.

I'm having a blast in Forza Horizon. It is tiding me over pretty well until my Z gets off the boat from japan. I have a feeling after that, I'll be doing a lot more real driving than video game driving. =]

The "370Z" group may be carried over from Forza 4?? I know Shadoquad, XxChrisxX and others were in an OG group and another one at one point in time. But I cannot recall the name.

I have the mad catz but fanatic is on order. They say it will ship in about 3weeks!! I'm exited to check it out.

I got a Fanatec wheel (CSR with 6 speed shifter) over the winter for Forza 4. It's pretty amazing and a completely different experience (read: better) than playing with a controller. Not sure if the Mad Catz is FFB or not, but the Fanatec is impressive.

As for the demo, I too instantly thought NFSU2. Although I loved that game back in the day, I'm undecided as to whether I'd want to fork out the cash for a more "arcadey" game. I was kinda hoping more of the F4 physics would carry over.

The physics seem the same to me. Maybe it is because I'm not as experienced with the Forza games as some, but I've not noticed any difference in physics between Forza 4 and Horizon.

It is definitely more arcadey.. but I feel like the Forza 4 and Horizon really compliment each other. Depending on your mood, you can get pretty much whatever experience you want. Up for a track day? Play Forza 4. Feel like doing something this forum frowns upon? Light up the streets on Horizon.

I wish Forza 4 have better wheels to pick from.

Anyone still enjoy playing Forza Horizon? Any good stuff?

The Fanatec wheels are fantastic. =]

I am taking a break from a 3 hour Horizon session .. going back in a sec. I'm working on earning the last wrist band.

I'm waiting on the PR Stunts.. going to teach myself to drift before doing those.

Fun game. Good compliment to Forza Motorsport 4.

The Fanatec wheel is pretty awesome. I don't have a rig set up for it and just got used to having it in my lap. It still works great. I would never go back to playing with a controller.

I may have to check them out.

The mad catz I use is NOT FFB (that's why I'm upgrading)

Il probably cobble together a little rig from 2x4 s and my gaming chair once the wheel shows up. Until then, I like my entry level wheel better than a controller.

If you guys need a stand for your wheel, I suggest this one:

I had to widen the holes in the plate for the pedals to get the fanatec pedals to fit, but other than that it works great.

UGH! I just wish Microsoft and Logitech would get it together and support the G27. I have an awesome rig with my G27 but i can't use it for Forza

I mainly play iRacing in triple screens with

Wait you guys are talking about those steering wheels? Lol. I was talking about the in game wheels to pick for cars in Forza 4 lol.

Oops Never heard of changing the in-game wheel before.

Dustin@Z1

That was actually what I was talking about. LOL. I wondered how we got on the topic of steering wheels. I play better with a standard XboX controller. Arcade style with the steering wheel and pedals messes me up.
