Forza Horizon 2 announced (360, Xbox One), releasing this fall
- Thread starter Sendou
- Start date
Wonder why they won't show 360 footage then.
Perhaps Italy/Greece/Spain?
Because they want people to buy the Xbox One version.

Driveclub is track based, though. Horizon 2 has to do a lot more with being open world.

Yh you do have a point there. Since odd but good to see them supporting the X360.
For anyone eager to see the graphics, first screenshots are coming out tomorrow.

Cross Gen on a 1st party major IP means they do not have that much faith in how it would sell only on XB1. No other way to put it.
To not hurt potential 360 sales?
Not at all, we've got some really cool features planned that will provide more in-depth info than you'd normally get in a regular preview article.
We've got lots to tell you about the game and IGN First is going to be a great platform to get that mass of info out there to you.
Wooookay if you say so!
Oh I know that I just mean its going to be interesting to see the Eurogamer article when they inevitably compare DC to FH2. I realize they are doing many different things but that's not what gets page views for articles.
Hi Helios since they already confirmed the weather system can you confirm that it still has the Day Night cycle like FH1?
Yes sir.

You're welcome to believe whatever you wish, but I have seen absolutely no evidence the player count was related to hardware power. The guys who created the biggest 6 vs 6 shooter franchise on the planet, just so happen to create another 6 vs 6 shooter. Surprise!

Man, I'm so glad to have all the consoles. Missing out on the exclusives the XBO is bringing this fall would suck.

Cross gen does hurt the game no matter if it's one developer or two.
Sounds good. I thought based on earlier concept art it was located in the Southern States of the US not Europe. Sort of rather it be in Europe anyway so the change is good.
On a side note, hopefully it's a highly adapted version of the Forza 5 engine, as technically and graphically speaking, F5's engine isn't exactly particularly forward thinking or advanced.

The vistas are going to be so friggen awesome in this game. Cannot wait to see it. Weather should add tremendously as well. Certainly interested to see how they are using the cloud compute stuff for the weather.
True but the environments as we have seen are incredibly dense and it has great draw distance. It has more than the standard tracks we are used to seeing.
Sounds good.

To be fair - this isn´t UBIsoft.
And if you are talking about the slight Forza 5 downgrade keep in mind that T10 were hitting a moving target back than.

I once drove from germany, across the alps, through italy, then it took over to corsica.
Souther europe is really, really pretty. I'm happy they chose it for their game. Even though the alps probably aren't south enough for the game

Why would MS put it on the 360... good that they're supporting 360 I guess, but takes away from the XB1.
Slight? i lol'd

Make individual games for each platform ?
It was a pretty big downgrade in some parts. But they did enhance others so I agree alot of that had to do with being a launch game. Hopefully using the F5 engine gives them more time to enhance the game without having to worry about the engine.
Good deal...can't wait.

The silliest thing to me is, I can't imagine I would want more players as is. Each match is a clusterfuck of chaos. The game is built perfectly as is, as far as player count and map size. Now if the next one had double the size of players, I would expect at least twice as big of maps too.
Well at least Forza 5 runs at 60fps. I'll have that over any extra eye candy anyday.
I'm thinking the opposite; to not hurt potential Xbox One sales, like with TITANFALL.
Right….but Forza Horizon 2 will most likely be 30fps. So I guess this game will disappoint in that respect too. Unless [insert excuse here].

I'm sorry, are you comparing VHS players from the 90s to the 360 which hundreds of millions of people still own and use? Just because you bought an Xbox One and don't use your 360 anymore doesn't mean anyone owes you anything. Companies need to make money, and if millions of people still play games on the 360 (hint: they do) then companies will continue to make games for the 360 (hint: they will).
Jeez, some of you act like the 360 should have been wiped off the face of the Earth as soon as the Xbox One was released.
You do realize I'm not the only person in the world who still uses his 360, right?
I thought it was awful, but I'm totally un-hip
The car sounds were good enough for me!
Clearly make it from the ground up with the Forza 5 engine and the downport handled elsewhere.
That may not be true, we don't know the full capabilities of the engine. It might very well be capable of graphical features such as dynamic lighting, but they decided to omit that from F5 to meet that 60fps target.
