How did you notice?
Btw it was funny to hear the journalist being so afraid to call this game arcadey. Like the dev would pull out shotgun and blown his face off.
Game looks pretty as fuck.

Did you remember to hit 1080p in You Tube or did you watch in 480p? To say this does not look much better that FH1 is being completely dis-honest and questionable,
I believe it's almost final now, we'll be talking about it more on IGN First later in the month.

Clouds rolling in off the ocean about to obscure the moon is what it looks like.
Using the same engine, are you surprised?
No, I'm talking about the absolutely awful distortion (just check the moon for instance).
Pretty amazing and love that it is actually open world ( no barriers)
Now just make the supercars less good off road then that would great and make them bounce and be more uncontrollable.
Supercars should stick to the road more than take these shortcuts.
Looks like I may be getting a XBONE now,.

I'm talking about the dynamic lighting sources only. Seems the same as FH1. Not so "dynamic".. as in SHIFT2 for example.

That's what I was thinking too. I'm really not digging the "true open world" and the look of sports cars driving offroad. It just doesn't look right. I had the same issue with similar sandbox-y racing games like TDU, for example.
In my opinion they should've stuck with the structure of the first FH. I loved it and never had a problem with being constrained to roads.

Very true. They should watch while repeating the words "this is a slideshow, this is a slideshow, this is a slideshow" over and over again until the cognitive dissonance shatters their ego and they attain a shockingly sudden open world satori.

Are there shadows at night when being lit by cars around?

Although the IGN preview also mentioned another three radio stations that they were working with some indie labels on, so those might not be locked down yet.

Thanks, but I'd recommend anyone who wants to see it to go download from the link in the OP.
Massive difference.
That IQ is ridiculous.
Hnnng.
IQ looks great.
What the hell does "ANNA Unavailable" mean? (Bottom left corner)
Seems to be something to do with Kinect.
Oh man, idea. Ability to set waypoints with VCs.

Looks like I might be getting an Xbox One before the end of the year.
Does it use FXAA again?
I didn't expect to see this much gameplay so soon because of the month long IGN deal. It's looking good, though I'd like to see more of the world and maybe different weather conditions.
I also hope there's a silly story for single player. The stuff in TDU2 and the original Most Wanted was the worst, but in the best possible way.

Hey Helios! Any news on when we might see a demo?

Yes! Yes! Yes! He did an outstanding job with the music in Horizon 1.
Holy shit.... That looks so damn good the sky scene was godly with the moon and stars.
The sound and the physics are great too even as someone who doesn't really like it leans heavy toward a sim in that regard.
Wish I had money to get an XB1 really.

That B-roll is amazing - the in-car view as he bounces through the fields, and through the streets in the rain were gorgeous.
I'm guessing (and hoping) a sort of GPS system controlled by Kinect. Something like "Anna, set waypoint for event X"

You could do that in the original I believe, if you had the 360's Kinect.
Although I think it was fairly limited, just stuff like "next event", etc (although I never used it, as I didn't get a Kinect for 360).
I'm getting ready to drop a load of 1920x1080 WebMs

Anna is a female Italian name, I guess it's the local horizon radio speaker
I was thinking the same thing.
In order to fit the weather transition into a roughly five minute long demo race it's been sped up somewhat.
Can the weather get really bad? Like black clouds with thunderstorms and lots of wind?

Looks great! Not quite sure yet that it looks good enough for the 30fps downgrade though, still undecided, but the open world gameplay is amazing, great sound, BRoll really showed this off when driving out the field with the grass/bushes slapping the front, will make it hard to go back to more restricted racers.

I've got that itch to play horizon 1 again after that new footage, need to get some cheevos still 
Only thing missing from weather so far is the holes and pockets of water which bump your car's suspension when you go in it, good example of this in a game is PGR4!
Right now going by the IGN video's it looks like smooth glass everywhere even though it looks wet it doesn't feel like it.

At those speeds, wouldn't the water droplets start streaking and trailing up the hood?
I hope Alice is back in this, I liked her voice!
I know a lot of you hated her and wanted her to shut up all the time though
We need a girl with a French or Italian accent. Hnnnng.
I wonder how dangerous that road is near the ocean. The fencing seems pretty slight. Can you knock people over the edge?
Horizon 1 soundtrack is still my music to go for MMO and such lol
