Forza Horizon still has something nice to say about the 370
 
With the 370 seemingly taking the place of "whipping boy" in most car comparisons, it put a smile on my face to see our Z next to these monsters:

Forza Horizon - Cars

A better render would be nice but beggars can't be choosers i guess....

DarkJak 10-12-2012 10:13 PM

Not the best angle for our cars in that picture, but the words are pretty good :) Got the game preordered over a month ago, just 10 days left to go!

binary0x01 10-12-2012 11:39 PM

Its the TRUTH!

Too bad I don't play the XBOX, I'm a PS1,2,3 owner.

forza370z 10-13-2012 01:54 AM

I am a super Gran Turismo fan. But the only other racing game that I would buy is forza. A nice thing about forza is the aftermarket upgrade section. They have Tein, Endless, HKS, Greddy, Nismo and all that. Can't wait to see how the Horizon turns out! And hey, see what my screen name says.;)

370Z Purist 10-13-2012 02:25 AM

Forza Horizon looks too much like NFS. I don't know if I'd enjoy playing it...

6spd 10-13-2012 11:52 AM

Is this game supposed to be an online pvp kinda game or open world versus ai like need for speed?

johncy2000 10-13-2012 12:02 PM

Download the demo guys and see for yourselves. It is a great game!!:tup:

TerribleONE 10-13-2012 02:40 PM

agreed ^ it is straying away from the usual forza series but after playing the demo I am glad I preordered!

370zFTW 10-13-2012 02:56 PM

I've seen the preview of it but dk if I want to preorder it. Seems pretty good. May have to download the demo and play it. I've been playing Forza 4 when I get bored. I played with 370z every time I play Forza 4, it makes me want to get a 370z really bad lol.

Don't have a 370z yet but hopefully I'll be able to get in couple months.

I played the demo on my 360, and am glad I didn't preorder. Too much like NFS for me. I kept finding myself wishing it were GTA so I could get out and do other stuff. imho it also seems like the driving simulation is less realistic than the other games.

Verbal21 10-16-2012 01:22 PM

Anybody giving the 370Z as a Pre-order bonus? Or do I need to get the Collectors Edition or something?

Mt Tam I am 10-16-2012 01:47 PM

I started playing Forza 4 last night for the first time. This is my second console. My first was a Coleco in the 1970's. This is a new experience.

At the hard setting the car seems to handle better than my own car, yet I get very similar times as I do when drive Laguna Seca for real.

Where do I need to set the settings to make the car realistic?

Spikuh 10-16-2012 01:53 PM

I grabbed the demo and dinked around in it some. It does not feel like either NFS or Forza 4, somewhere in the middle leaning more towards Forza 4 imo. The cars rotate faster and were tending to not understeer as much compared to Forza 4, but you still have to brake and pick decent lines for the corners. It seemed really strange.

I will probably stay away from this one.

Not a clue.

Turn off the assists. Will cause brakes to instantly overheat and car to go into limp mode after the first corner, just like the real deal.

Dwnshift 10-16-2012 01:59 PM

I downloaded it but have not played it yet.
Just an FYI for Forza guys....our car was designed in the Forza paint shop and is available for the store front.

There are multiple stores that will have the 370Z as a bonus item. Check out: Forza Motorsport - Buy Now for details

:iagree:

Much more fun that way. Get a good racing wheel too. I recommend this one: >>>Fanatec.com Not cheap tho. :driving:

LakeShow 10-16-2012 02:34 PM

I hope the 370z is better in this game than Forza 4. It definitely needs a better exhaust note in the game.

lemon-fresh 10-16-2012 02:40 PM

They should probably add a FI exhaust option to the game.

370zFTW 10-18-2012 10:18 PM

Just played the demo and the graphics isn't like Forza 4. Can you even upgrade parts in Horizon? Or is it just racing stock cars. Game isn't too bad but I like Forza 4 better.

Maybe it needs a better exhaust note on our cars out of the factory first.:bowrofl:

tonybui 10-18-2012 11:15 PM

Hey, that's my car

hector20 10-19-2012 02:08 PM

If you pre-order it at the microsoft webstore, you get a 10 credit for future purchases and 1600 xbox live points ($20 value), not bad in my opinion.

Haha I actually am using your design on my Z in the game right now!

Dwnshift 10-19-2012 07:45 PM

H3rTz DoNuT has it in his store front and is the designer.
He also has quite a few other nice designs as well.

370zFTW 10-23-2012 10:30 PM

Looks like I'm not gonna get Forza Horizon. Not liking it now lol

I put a Nismo kit on my Forza 4 370z...something just didn't look right. And they don't have the Nismo wheels so it looked weird

looking forward to Forza Horizon, i like outdoor/public street driving scenarios. One of my fav games in test drive unlimited, despite the poor physics.

LakeShow 10-23-2012 11:53 PM

I think there's some bad news that I just realized for us. I think to get the 370z you must pre order the game from some select retailers to receive it. Otherwise its not it the game.

What?! You sure? You can't even unlock it in the game?? That sux.:shakes head:

MC 10-24-2012 02:06 AM

yeah for right now it was a preorder car from target walmart and somewhere else. but it might be out in one of the car packs who knows

i got the game from gamestop so i got the 458 Golf R and 392 Challenger.. but you can go on forza forums and try to trade the codes.. im supposed to be getting a 370z code tomorrow

Ken'z370 10-24-2012 04:13 AM

It's an addictive game....I just wrapped up all of the F class series races and the F class World Championship on the hardest competition setting with a Nissan Micra. I tricked out another Micra to run in the E class series....soooooo wicked fun. I "drive" a 370Z when I want to just log on and play without the stress of a full blown race.

I'll post a screen shot of my settings when I get home tonight.

B&W_Evader 10-24-2012 09:38 AM

Easiest way to get a decent setup is to just buy one (with in-game credits). Lots of cheap or free ones to choose from. If you don't like it, just get another one. Otherwise you can spend a lot of time upgrading, tuning and test driving. Tuning has quiet a learning curve when you're starting out. Just started messing around with the drifting... got my "Tire Shredder" tag last night. :tup: 1000hp 240sx makes it pretty easy.

Verbal21 10-24-2012 09:52 AM

Are you serious? We have to wait and buy the DLC fir the 370? That kind of takes away some of my excitement for the game.

HamZ 10-24-2012 11:56 AM

Picked it up yesterday.. awesome game.

370zFTW 10-24-2012 01:27 PM

For those who has got the game, can you do upgrades? And that sucks you can't get the 370z!! I was thinking about getting it.

Just spent a good 6 hours straight playing my copy that arrived today. I just wish Target would send me my code for the 370Z.. =]
