This looks incredible. Looks like so much fun.
2014 is fucking kick ass for racers.
I'd say a slightly heavier PGR feel.

Ariel Atom just confirmed by accident, oops.
Pretty sure it was in the announced car lists already.
definitely closer to PGR. i'd say its somewhere between pgr and forza, though closer in that spectrum towards pgr

Hmmm...
Golf R engine + 4WD drivetrain on a VW camper van? OH YES.
Skyline R34 engine + 4WD drivetrain on a Datsun 510? OH MORE YES.
RS200 engine + 4WD drivetrain on a Focus RS? GIMME NOW!

So good to see mechanical damage and tire wear, as well as stability control togglable; they really listened to fan feedback from the first Horizon. It was mentioned that the tuning options will be the same as Forza 5, which is awesome.
the majority of the driving assists were also in horizon 1. its probably too much to expect, but it sure would be nice if we could recreate the forza feel in horizon. 5's sim handling in an open world would be glorious
Someone asked about a HUD-less option but we didn't get round to answering that question on the stream. Can confirm that you can toggle HUD elements on/off and can go completely HUD-less if you're that way inclined 
Oh and regarding the Ariel Atom, that was already confirmed, Ralph just wasn't 100% sure.

Glad we can disable the HUD. That skill meter thing is annoying me already just from watching vids , can we disable the sound that goes with it too ?

I asked that, some others probably did too but I know I did. It's a pretty common feature but it's good to know we can enjoy the raw game if we want to.

Looks awesome! Some minor pop up, but enough time to tweak.

Will try and find out for you tommorow.

Helios, does the second option (Steering) only go to left side (Assisted) or does it go to the right side too (Sim steering)?
And does it work like in F5?
Also happy to see physical damage options there.

It has arrows on both sides. Compare to the braking assist setting (Assisted/ABS On/ABS Off) and the Damage setting (Off/Cosmetic/Simulation), and contrast to the traction/stability assists (On/Off), and the Driving Line option which is at one of the far ends of the usual scale (Full/Braking Only/Off).

Good spot, it's clearly the case but I would never have thought of that.
Heads up that have another Forza Horizon 2 livestream starting in 30 mins and will be taking questions from the stream chat. Should be fun

Crap, missed it. Is there an archived link?
EDIT: Looks like this is it?

You should put out some HUD-less footage.
I already noticed that, but still that doesnt answer the second part of my question? sim steer like F5, or a bit different?

We need hud-less gameplay, in the rain or at night from in-car....please.

Ah good they kept simulated steering in even though they could easily just leave that out, thank you!
Full tunes is also something I look forward to playing with, the horizon 1 method of just having a few bolt ons really hurt when trying to setup cars for hard races.

Has nothing been shown of the 360 version?

looks like night lasts less than five minutes like horizon 1
A while back (I think) I remember confirmation that it would have full tuning in addition to upgrade options, on par with what was there in Forza 5.
second fulton twitch stream, with aceybongo, he confirms full tuning settings at around 22nd min.

Helios said in the stream chat that every aspect of tuning in Forza 5 is possible in Horizon 2.

Can't wait! Fired up Horizon on the 360 last weekend in prep for this and ended up playing for about 8 hours over 2 days after tucking the wife in. Everything looks fantastic and the online integration looks easy peasy lemon squeezy.. can't wait!
If you for some reason have never played forza horizon and are on the fence, I can say it's some of the most fun you'll have with an open world racer.. I particularly enjoyed the skill challenges during the photo-ops in h1. I hope they have more of these in 2!
Thanks Helios et al.. Looking great, and this will be a time soaker when I don't really need one :O

Those actually made my jaw drop a bit. Not what I expected.
Damn... 700+ vs 117? Thats a lot of content.

As much credit I'd give Playground Games (and considering that I just started a third playthrough of Horizon 1, because DAMNIT I NEED OPEN-WORLD FORZA NOW!), I suspect that 700+ event count may have some "accounting" tricks, like "same road with different classes of cars = 10 events!".
If I'm wrong, I'll take my hat off, put on some kneecaps and start sucking on some PG dick.
