XO: Forza Horizon 2

































The Horizon Festival returns in Horizon 2 and, this time, it’s bigger, better, and more beautiful than ever before. Your location of choice is southern Europe – from the south of France to the Amalfi Coast in Italy, and tons of points in between. This exotic location is brought to life as a massive, living open world that’s built for exploration, flat-out speed, and action-packed driving.

In Forza Horizon 2, the freedom to explore is redefined. Not only is the world bigger than the original Forza Horizon, it’s also a truly open world, with three times the play space to race and explore in the cars of your choice, on and off road. In Forza Horizon 2, your automotive adventure is taken to a new level the moment you leave the tarmac and head out on a path of your own choosing. That might mean running through a field of crops and bursting through hay bales as you go, or crashing through a fence and mowing through a vineyard at ludicrous speeds, or taking a shortcut you discovered on the fly; whatever it takes to get you across the finish line in first place.
Creating Forza Horizon 2’s world is more than just building a pretty place to race – we wanted to bring that world to life. That means the return of a dynamic night/day cycle, complete with working headlights for each car in the game. It also means dynamic weather. For the first time in any Forza game, you’ll need to contend with real weather effects as you drive. We've created spectacular weather effects that are beautiful to behold, and every car in the game features authentic working windshield wipers, making cockpit view more immersive than ever before. Weather in Forza Horizon is more than just beautiful to look at – one slide in the pouring rain will be all it takes to convince you that you've never driven a Forza like this before.

I wanted a PS4 but horizon 2 and forza in general are making it really hard to move to a different setup. Think I'll go PC and still buy for this game. Looks freaking fun!!

Lol the first one was pretty good fun.

But I enjoyed Test Drive Unlimited more than Horizon...and being that this is set in Europe, I'm hoping it feels a bit more like TDU...that map was massive and it was great fun to cruise around.

That's what they are promising with Horizon 2. First one was just a giant broken promise like GTA Online heists and Homefront.

I pre-ordered it digitally and they were having problems apparently so I couldn't even play it at midnight.

I won't be able to play till tomorrow, so I'll post back then.

I got in and the beta is pretty huge in terms of what they let you do. I can drive across the entire full game map from one end of the country to the other and do more than 1/3 of every mission and activity available in the full game.

Good game on the xbox 360. Couple gripes are corners that have virtually invisible barriers and you cut a corner and crash. Really really frustrating. No free roam with strangers only friends. That really really sucks. It was really fun to be able to meet people and see some nice cars racing. Other than that its pretty good. Easy to move up quick. I just boosted the shit out a supra and lexus GS. Have 2 cars that do everthing I need in Horizon 2. Offroad races with the AWD GS and road races with the supra.

Looks like the 360 game is very different/less awesome from the Xbox One.

Indeed it is.

Less cars, no weather system, less detail, running at 720p, no online free roam, ect.

Here's the article...

TSXy, I believe there is a thread for The Crew if you'd like to update there. I want my beta code! D:

So far, looks like H2 has better graphics, but The Crew has a vastly superior story.
TC also has a really cool car mod UI and animations.

Horizon 2 is kinda annoying where each freaking race changes from asphalt to tarmac. Who the hell wants to rally their Koenigsegg or 800Hp supra?! AWD is the only thing remotely controllable in the races.

I love the amount of tunnels in the game. Now that I have all the discount signs (which if you need them I found a GREAT map for X1 here, not sure if they are the same for PS4 but I know they are different from the 360 version) I fast travel to and from the tunnels on the highways and just listen to amazing car sounds

Had some fun with the final showcase.






Brothers R8, he made the entire livery, minus the Bilstein logo which he is still working on re-creating.
