  • Looking great so far

  • Hmm, this could be fun. I haven't played a racing game since NFS was still on the PS1. I might give this a shot.
  • Is one racing game realy that much differnt then another racing game? In my opinion if you have onegood racing game then thats all you need.
  • So, it looks like there will be limited customization and not full customization. Looking good so far though.

  • due to nfs lack of custumization options forza horizon is looking better imo, like the fact that i get to cutomize every aspect of my car over haveng cerain packages where all cars look the same
  • The Limited Edition stuff sounds pretty cool, but since I don't play racing games. @Racing fans: Does this kind of stuff actually make a difference and is worth an extra $20?
  • Why do they call it The Limited Edition? Because if it's anything like the Hot Pursuit Limited Edition then I'll still find it in stores 6 months after it comes out .
  • So excited for this game!
  • I hope this one feels more like Burnout than hot pursuit. I did enjoy it very much, but I really want a new burnout title.
  • October 30? But Assassin's Creed 3 comes out then. :'(

  • I want this game, but as with most games pre-order bonuses (DLC not the physical stuff) don't really get me to go out and buy a game right when it comes out.

  • Need for Speed with some trucks in it? Well, I guess I have a reason to check it all out after all.

  • In the game world, we all should know that "pre-order bonuses" means DLC eventually.

  • For once, the pre-order cars do not interest me whatsoever. Except for the Raptor. That thing is BAD*SS
  • Awesome

  • Awesome

  • For some reason, the idea of racing in that F-150 truck has me more excited than the oter cars. Needless to say, I think I'm looking forward to this for the "cars go boom" aspect more than the racing.
