Speaking recently with IGN, Playground Games' design director, Ralph Fulton, not only reflected on , but offered up some information for their upcoming Forza: Horizon DLC, the Rally pack.
Highlights below!
* "We're trying to put together a really enthralling rally package. I think there's an opportunity to go much deeper into that pure rally experience; that's maybe something we didn't have the chance to do in the broader context of Horizon itself but we identified that pure, one-car-on-a-rally-route, really intense rally experience that you can get if you go deep into rally is something that I think a lot of people are going to respond to and really look forward to."
* "Now I'm not sure of figures, right off the bat, but I know there are, I think, seven individual rallies within the pack. Each event is broken up into multiple stages so you get that stage by stage experience in each rally, and that's really what we're trying to do there. We're just trying to go a little bit deeper [into that] rally experience that you get from just having one car on a really narrow, intense, undulating route.
* "It's not going to be part of the open world, because obviously we're changing quite a lot of the world and that's going to make synching up between people who have and don't have the pack difficult. So instead you're going to choose to enter the Horizon Rally Championship. That's going to take you off into a separate mode in which you get to experience the new routes and the new terrain that we've built."
So maybe you had your fingers crossed, hoping for some news on some new whips, in which case I'm sorry to disappoint. Maybe next time. The rally pack for Forza: Horizon is due out Dec. 18. Forza: Horizon is out now for Xbox 360.
