There's no way it'll look better than DriveClub. I just can't fathom that possibility so my expectations are at something Forza 5 level but with more effects and actual AA.
But Horizon is an open world series, which means I'll end up putting a lot more time into it for that fact alone. Free roam driving in a world littered with closed off circuit races, rallies, and in-traffic street races is the perfect formula for me.
Is it bad that I am more excited for all the FH2/DC comparison drama in the fall then the actual game itself? To be fair, I don't own a Xbone yet but it surely is getting harder to resist.
I fail to see how they're fundamentally different. FH's engine was a tweaked F4 engine, FH2 is using the F5 engine.
F5's engine isn't fundamentally different than F4's engine. The improvements are fairly minor.
I'm glad we could get all the cross-gen stuff clarified today, now hopefully people can enjoy the rest of the preview coverage this week without that playing on their minds.
Roll on Tuesday!
Forza Horizon: "Fall 2014, probably September. Super sexy weather system and... shit tons of co-op/social stuff. 1080P and open-world, so you can road trip with your bros."
If nktrnl is anything to go by, which he has been right 9 out of 10.
So 1080p or last gen 720p.
Take your pick.
Anyone else noticed how this thread has suddenly slowed down traffic wise since that 'engine' tweet?, its pretty funny really and so transparent.

Wait so if ntkrnl was right so much doesn't that mean that Quantum Break was actually delayed? Sorry for the off topic but that just occurred to me.
i dont think it will be 60 fps and if they cut to 30 they have lots of resource to spend on the "wow" factor..
as u said horizon is open world....driveclub isnt...different type of games...driveclub itself need less resources
Give me dat rain
Damn kind of feel bad for DC. If it hadn't been delayed it wouldn't have had to go head to head with FH2. If the first preview videos of FH2 look better than what we've seen of DC, Rushy am cry.
Still a pretty game, yeah I hope they add rain too.
Hoping for some snow rallysWeather system? :O
He'll has literally frozen over!
Day one!
(Still have my 360)!

Man Project Gotham still looks amazing. A perfect example how art styles and lighting can overcome technical limitations.
Even if XB1 version was based on 360. Whats the big deal?
Isnt Uncharted 4 doing the same thing with uncharted 3 engine?

Wasn't expecting cross-gen. Especially seeing that it's using the Forza 5 engine.
Can't wait to see more at E3.
thats a funny excuse to troll forza 5 if i ever saw one..I'm honestly not trolling. I own Forza Horizon.
I stand corrected for engines and so looking forward experiencing X360 version, Sumo is a great choice!
Helios, will the X360 version support X360 wheels as FH1?
Give me dat rain

Really interesting to see that, so I guess Forza Horizon 2 on 360 is less a cross-gen game and more like some sort of expansion pack or total conversion that puts FH2's map and cars into FH1. Goes into what I was saying about this stuff likely being easier with racing games than some other genres.
Funnily enough his avatar IS of a lawyer. Or I'm really misremembering my Boondocks characters.

Snow would make it the racer of forever.Snow or bust.
And I should clarify that setting my expectations at Forza 5 with AA is still fine by me - I think Forza 5 looks fucking fantastic. So if that's the baseline, I'll be good, as long as it has real AA and those now classic Horizon draw distances.It wont look better than Driveclub, I'm 99% sure about that but at least it'll be open world and have weather.
The way they worded the announcement makes me think the weather system is only on the Xbox One version,
What does one have to do with the other? If they were both multiplat...cool. But if one game looks better than the other, you can only get one game for one system.
Day One.
Got to wonder what MS have lined up for E3 with all these announcements.
Come on games don't release in a vacuum just because they are exclusive. Just like Forza gets compared to GT gets compared to Project Cars.
If FH2 ends up looking better DC people will end up having a negative perception of it because it's already been delayed.
