Implying photo mode isn't in-game?

Photo mode is photo mode. The game won't look as clean as that whilst doing the actual racing. You know, the in game bit!

That light reminds me dude from 9

 

[MMaRsu]

Didn't many of the devs at Bizarre end up at Evolution? Including the design lead for PGR4?

I read that on GAF somewhere so I have absolutely no idea wether that's true.

They did actual ly.

 

[eso76]

fuck you.

Looks like Amalfi long was missing from the last few Forzas for a reason.
That looks like positano/amalfi alright.


Fuck you Playground games. Fuck you forza franchise.
I'm jumping back in this year.

Well done guys, well fucking done.

 

[DemurOnion]

I don't even care about photo mode if they need to put that attention onto the game.

 

[c0de]

60fps?

Horizon 1 wasn't so I guess Horizon2 isn't.

 

[GHG]

Photomode or bullshots until I see it looking like that in-game. If it looks like that in-game then Microsoft are very close to selling me a Xbone.

Now where is PGR5?

 

[DemurOnion]

Horizon 1 wasn't so I guess Horizon2 isn't.

I'd rather not at this point. The IQ would suffer horribly. At that point I might as well get Forza 6.

 

[xiaxdragon]

They look the same as Forza 5's.

hard to say when Forza 5 had no weather system at all.....its just the wetness of the ground that really stood out.

There are two more screens that i can't post from my smartphone

[shinobi602]

Those fuckin screenshots...

 

[Terbinator]

isnt this open world?

Right? FH had score attack, P2P, closed circuit, 1v1 - everything that was in PGR. It might not be up to the same implementation and polish as it was in PGR4, sure, but all the hallmark PGr modes were in there in some fashion. It having an open world doesn't suddenly mean it isn't like PGR.

Huh?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

found another one

 

[Mascot]

It´s safe to assume it will be 30 just like Horizon 1.

Why safe?
Generational leap in hardware specs.

 

[GlamFM]

Photomode or bullshots until I see it looking like that in-game. If it looks like that in-game then Microsoft are very close to selling me a Xbone.

Way too much AA. Photomode for sure.

 

[keit4]

Is that Italy or Spain?

 

[Arklite]

Bullshot or not, have Forza games EVER come anywhere close to looking bad? This isn't an Ubisoft game, peopel.

Anti aliasing is what console games are always short on. Really hits image quality right in the balls, so no, games aren't literally ugly, just jaggie.

 

[Data West]

 

[ekim]

 

[DemurOnion]

Why safe?
Generational leap in hardware specs.

I think because Forza struggled mightily to look good at 60FPS and this game more properly competes with Driveclub imo. But I'm not sure it's safe to conclude that yet.

many of them work at playground (forza h)

 

[GlamFM]

Why safe?
Generational leap in hardware specs.

The F5 engine wont be able to handle a huge open world at 60fps all of a sudden.

Generational leap will show in 1080p - at 30fps.

 

[StarBlazers1]

From ign

Thats what im talking about.....wow...now I'm excited.
yes, these are probably bullshots, but even downgraded a little, it shows the weather effects. That excites me....

 

[Vire]

Horizon 1 wasn't particularly jaggy, so unless they forgo the 30 FPS for 60, I don't really see it being an aliased mess.

Hope they just stick to 30 FPS. Worked fine for the first game.

 

[Dinjooh]

Rehosting that bitch.

 

[TheKayle]

Is that Italy or Spain?

i think all of this screenshots are italy ..(amalfi coast and tuscany the offroad one)

 

[Terbinator]

hard to say when Forza 5 had no weather system at all.....its just the wetness of the ground that really stood out.

My bad, I meant to road textures bit:

Way too much AA. Photomode for sure.

Yeah, although aliasing still present down the windscreen of the Pagani.

 

[sunnz]

Hoping that means the whole map is accessible and no barriers like the first one ( that made the fields and offraod areas not accessible)

That was a turn off. Why get an offroad car if I am only limited to dirt tracks...

 

[Putty]

Looks nice and clean 8)

 

[MikeJAMoran]

Cannot wait. I loved Horizon and this looks great. I'll probably get an Xbox One this year.

 

[Doffen]

Give it to me!

 

[-SD-]

Yea, but... how it looks in-game is another matter.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Those fuckin screenshots...

Shit, when did you get back?

What about those screenshots?

 

[HeliosT10]

Detective GAF strikes again I see!

You better not find the preview before later today lol

 

[Faith]

Yea, but... how it looks in-game is another matter.

I guess like Forza 5 with better AA and some fancy weather & day/night effects.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Only niggles with the original Horizon for me were the forgettable tracks and samey scenery, this is the Forza Horizon I wanted.

We were only saying a few weeks ago Horizon 2 should incorporate some of the fantasy circuits that didn't make it of to FM5.

 

[Vire]

Rehosting that bitch.

Road texture looks kinda ass, but I guess it's to be expected with open world...

:/

 

[derFeef]

Those fuckin screenshots...

AH, A GHOST!

 

[Wavering Radiant]

Those fuckin screenshots...

holy.... what??? he's back??

 

[Sid]

I guess like Forza 5 with better AA and some fancy weather & day/night effects.

Probably even better lighting and high quality textures as well.

I think because Forza struggled mightily to look good at 60FPS and this game more properly competes with Driveclub imo. But I'm not sure it's safe to conclude that yet.

DirveClub isn't open world.

 

[Feindflug]

Game looks beautiful, can't wait to see it in motion.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Detective GAF strikes again I see!

You better not find the preview before later today lol

Sounds like a gauntlet hitting the floor.

 

[Data West]

That a challenge?

 

[eso76]

Yea, but... how it looks in-game is another matter.

If they are using the same AA solution as FH1 in 1080 (or even 900p, i don't care) then IQ will be STELLAR and not far from these screenshots.

And i'm betting my

Spoiler

middle

nut that what we're seeing here is indeed tuscany and souther italy (amalfi) coast.
And if it isn't i don't care, because it looks like it anyway.

 

[Feindflug]

Anti aliasing is what console games are always short on. Really hits image quality right in the balls, so no, games aren't literally ugly, just jaggie.

Have you played Horizon? the game had 4xMSAA + dynamic FXAA which resulted in possibly the best IQ of last gen.

Horizon 2 is an open world game.

 

[Doffen]

Is that Italy or Spain?

Looks like it.

 

[derFeef]

It will be fictional "southern europe" just like it was a fictional map based of colorado in the first game.

 

[lefantome]

Rehosting that bitch.

360 version bullshots?

They don't look as good as the other 3

 

[ekim]

Hopefully the border controls aren't that harsh when going from France to Italy.
