Forza Horizon 2 announced (360, Xbox One), releasing this fall

the first corner of most races is a stock car pile up. Then even after the cars have spaced out a little, you'll have some cars randomly brake test you in the middle of a straight. Incredibly annoying.

Why this hate towards the 360? Do they only own a PS3? ;-)
Playground Games are much, much more technically competent than Respawn are though.
Good! GOOD!

Yeh I saw the tweet was just asking Helios as he will know
There are 80 million+ 360 users... it would be dumb from MS to forget them. I mean, it will probably be one of the best titles for 360 this year.
And for those saying that MS is not giving reasons to move to One... maybe a 360/One crossbuy would be a great option.
Oops misread your post friend.
Turn 10 relegated to last-gen ports of Horizon confirmed.
Its really not as he specified 'for him'.
God, why would you release a driving game without wheel support. This is so supremely dumb. I cannot fathom this. All I ever wanted is a realistic open world driving simulator. I will never get one

I corrected quick fingers
Highly doubt that they will delay the release date. A big shooter is much more "system seller" worthy than a new arcade racer.

I'm pumped!
But it actually seems like FH2 is being built on two different engines for the different platforms, so it might look completely different.
TitanFall turned out really well on the 360, so is that a good thing?

Yep, mentioned this earlier, that it would only make real sense to have it cross-plat if another team was handling the port (a-la Bluepoint and Respawn).
If this is the case, any little piece of doubt I had is gone.
edit: Now that I think about it, someone HAS TO BE doing the port besides Playground. After all, the LinkedIn account said "working on an unannounced Xbox One game" not "working on an unannounced Xbox360/One game".
Yessssss
this makes sense and was how you had quite a few PS2 games even after PS3 was released. Doesn't need to hold back the newer machine, you can just subcontract it out and share some assets.

For technical level,i think playground games(+T10 helping) is a lot better than respawn
So maybe Bluepoint will did a great job again,but it won't be like Titanfall

I'm hoping the game looks good but with it being cross gen, I kinda doubt it.
edit: NVM!

Making some more money is nonsensical?
No one said it wouldn't have any wheel support... just it won't have Logitech G25/27 support. It will almost certainly support the X1 Thrustmaster wheels, but I can understand if you don't want to purchase another wheel (I don't really want to get another wheel either after buying a Fanatec).God, why would you release a driving game without wheel support. This is so supremely dumb. I cannot fathom this. All I ever wanted is a realistic open world driving simulator. I will never get one

cross gen and the same engine as FM5......oh dear
Welp, that makes me feel a whole lot better.
Playground can focus on making an amazing game without any limits and let another studio deal with making it run on the 360

They can use the same Forza Horizon 1 engine, which was perfectly fine. Just change the cars and scenery. For the XB1 it's a modified F5 engine hopefully improved. I loved the first one and I'm in day one for this one.

True. If you think about it, they shown stuff so far that was in the Captain Obvious category.
HUH? the only reason forza horizon exists in the first place, is because of all the great tech turn10 has created.

I have an interest in whether a new first party title is exclusive to a current gen platform or cross gen. Why is this so difficult for you to grasp?
Anyway, good to hear that it the 360 version is being farmed out.

So this is a modified FM5 engine, a game that was downgraded from the reveal, and it's being used for a more open world racer? Is he sure people shouldn't be a little concerned?
I'll be really curious to see how the lighting engine works in this game. Given there's literally no real time lighting engine in FM5 they've got a lot of work to do to make it variable/nights/etc.
Have you played Forza Horizon? That game in 1080p would look great.
People shouldn't be worried at all about the Xbox One version not looking good.
Edit: Heh, just saw your edit. Guessing you saw the news about different teams.

Well then, this is the best case scenario - Xbox 360 gets it as well, yet Xbox One version is the sole focus for Playground. Now I'm really curious about who's building the 360 version. What have Lucid been up to?
Terrible AI? You what?
Also the microtransactions weren't that bad in FM5, and they've been massively improved since launch.
WTF does this even mean? Did you miss the developed/ported by separate studios in the OP.
Did you not play Horizon....it was one of the best looking (IQ wise) games of last-gen. It was built off a tweaked F4 engine.
A tweaked F5 engine in the same sense for Horizon 2, by Playground Games, sounds absolutely incredible.
Put an explanation behind comments like this.
This! Very much this! I want to reenact some Top Gear episodes..lol.
Why, whole region is prime driving country. You need a good dosage of some Top Gear!

Mint news that another studio is doing the 360 version. Let playground go crazy with the Xbone

Nintendo are the only ones that can offer a surprise this E3. Why are devs ruining all the surprises before E3? Even if there were leaks and rumours that is all they are until confirmed. Confirming them early just makes me not want to bother with the press conferences. Why watch them live when I know all the games? Why not wait for them to be over and just watch the trailers/gameplay when that gets put up.

that's my biggest worries with it.......no way they are hitting 60FPS in 1080p this time around with an open world racer.
F5 had baked lighting to hit that 60fps mark
