Forza Horizon 2

[Stoney Mason]

Thought we had one of these threads but didn't see it so I'm making one. Loved the original game.

[Beezy]

I'd love if they brought this to PC so I won't have to buy an Xbone anytime soon.

[toku]

Gonna be hot. I don't think I've been this excited about a Forza game since 3.

[Stoney Mason]

[Mupepe]

Can't wait for this. The first was great and I love all the forza games anyways

[tiesto]

I'm curious about the music, there's some decent deep/tech house revealed on the soundtrack so far.

[G The Resurrected]

The soundtrack for the first one was fantastic I can only hope it'll have some catchy tunes. I've heard some stuff about the racing bits that make it sound even less forgiving than the first one which has me a bit concerned when it comes to the driving gameplay.

[Take My Breh Away]

That train race 

One of the main reasons I bought a bone delivers.

[Beezy]

 

I need an Xbox One this fall.

[Cheddahz]

Here's some new footage that was just uploaded yesterday (ignore the dudes talking, cause I don't think they know what they're talking about or whatever)

[demi]

Demo next week

[G The Resurrected]

Demo next week

I don't know if I can handle that. I'm in day one for this!

I'd love to see them use their TopGear connection in Horizon for some of those amazing races in future games.

So who else is buying day one?

Here's a new video from Gamespot about the Bucket List

Dude, I'm in, is there going to be a Bore car club?

I don't think we have planned one yet (hell, I've only been here since Friday), but we should get one going!

[Stoney Mason]

The demo is up. Played it for a bit this morning. Really enjoyable. Very similar to the first but that's a good thing for me.

I created some Game DVR videos but the game mutes ALL the sound including engine noises which is annoying so no point posting them in this thread. I get the whole licensed music issue but I don't think Forza 5 did this. (Maybe it did. I don't remember.) Or maybe an option to turn off the music and then it will record the game sound. Otherwise it makes the DVR feature useless.

Demo is a small cut down version of the map with a few races. A bucket list challenge. I think it has an online roam option but I couldn't get it to work.

edit: Went back and looked at one of my old videos and it definitely did not cut the engine sound or the music in Forza 5.

[Mupepe]

I'm in on launch day bros

[Cheddahz]

The demo was super dope, I'll be there day one

[Stoney Mason]

It's weird. The game DVR seems to now be recording the sound I think. Maybe that was a bug or something. I'll test it again and upload my first two online races if it works.

[Take My Breh Away]

It's a bug. Fixed with a hard reset.

This demo is the absolute tits. The intro and presentation is mindblowingly good. Racing's ridiculous fun.

Why in the blue hell did Microsoft spunk $2.5 Billion on Mojang when they probably could have had bought Playground and had them make a new Project Gotham for 1/10th of that (Well, other than buying a cultural phenomenon, natch) 

[cool breeze]

this looks really great.  I didn't know they transitioned into full open world.  since TDU I've wanted an open world racer with grounded driving physics.  hope this is one of the xb1 games that ends up on PC.

I think playground can make PGR If microsoft wanted them to.  at least I don't think bizarre was owned by microsoft if they put out the club for sega.

[Stoney Mason]

First and Second online races. Brings back so many memories of enjoying the multiplayer with friends in the first game. So going to play the shit out of this.

[pilonv1]

When is this out? Might have to finally get a new console

[ferrarimanf355]

When is this out? Might have to finally get a new console

September 30th.

[Mupepe]

Damn. I am just whoopin stoneys ass left and right

[Cheddahz]

Cancelled my Gamestop pre-order of the game and decided to go digital (cause I know I'll be playing the game a whole lot) and I have it pre-loaded on my Xbox now

Now, I just gotta wait for the 30th...

[G The Resurrected]

Lets get serious for a moment about the car club for the Bore. Who wants to start it up? As well who is interested in it? I'm in, I just don't know if I'm best to start it up. Also what level are you guys on Forza rewards? I wanna jack that P1 so bad!

[Stoney Mason]

I'd definitely join it. I'm getting the game day one so.


edit: My controller broke this evening. So unfortunately I won't be there day one. See you guys on the game when I get my controller back in a couple of weeks.

[Beezy]

I don't think I'm getting an Xbox One until that Sunset Overdrive bundle comes out.

[Stoney Mason]

[toku]

Pre-loaded and ready.

[Stoney Mason]

My controller won't be back until late next or the week after. So I'm going to miss the first week of the game.  :'(

[ferrarimanf355]

Pre-loaded and ready.

I have the ultimate edition with the VIP Pass and season pass ready to go, let's do this. 

[Cheddahz]

Pre-loaded and ready.

Same here! We need to race or some shit

[Quaker]

So they lock the Tesla behind a $20 "VIP" download pack and the rewards they chose for preordering are a Ford Fiesta, Dodge Challenger and some Mercedes?

 

[toku]

[Stoney Mason]

I hate my life.  :'(

Still no update on my controller from ms.

[Cheddahz]

Shoutout to the fact that I couldn't play last night cause it didn't unlock for everybody. I'll just dive into the game after classes today

[MyNameIsMethodis]

game is apparently real mediocre and not near as good as forza horizon 1 (whhich is GOTG). shame.

Yeah video games suck now.

[Stoney Mason]

Don't feed him. It only encourages him. 

[G The Resurrected]

Spent some time this afternoon playing around and last night playing the demo. It looks like they imported all of the driveatars from Forza 5 into FH2. It's a god damn disaster at every turn! Some of these damn drivers are so aggressive and push me off the road or into a corner. After I got over that I'd say I've been having a blast.

[Mupepe]

I probably wont have a chance to jump on until Saturday evening. But I am up for the car club!!

[Take My Breh Away]

Holy shit this game is like the Outrun 3 I've dreamed of but Sega would never make happen

The first road trip accompanied by a massive rainstorm in the middle and the Chvches song on the radio

[Stoney Mason]

My controller will finally come in next wednesday so I can play then.

[Sho Nuff]

Wait what

This is like Outrun

Am I getting the 360 version or what

[Beezy]

Wait what

I've heard absolutely nothing about it yet.

It's missing some features but technically it was supposed to be a decent version. There were some gifs on gaf comparing the 2 versions and while the x1 version was obviously better, the 360 version wasn't so bad.

[Beezy]

Not terrible, but I'll wait until whenever I get a One.

[G The Resurrected]

I've had too much fun in this game. I need to find one more barn find, which hasn't unlocked yet for me to find. I'm working on my second set of championships and still having a blast.

[Vertigo]

Got this on XB1. Game is addictive as fuck. 

I usually hate racing games, especially overly serious ones. This one is a lot more enjoyable and laid back. I loved the First Forza Horizon, this is even better.

Plus seeing people's drivatars roaming about the world never gets old.

[Stoney Mason]

My controller finally came in.

 

[Stoney Mason]

Random cool race in the campaign.



Such a fun game. Finished the Forza Horizon finale for the first time last night. Long ass race. Over the course of the  campaign I had turned off replays so that's a pretty long race to not screw up on. I really like how as I played more I could feel my skill progress. By the end I was playing on hard with replays off and pro drivatars.

I ended up using a 1985 Ford RS200. Really like that car. Love the handling and feel of it.

This isn't the finale race but the car I like above.




Now on to the multiplayer as I wanted to go through the campaign first to amass some cars.

G The Resurrected. man you have a shitload of cars.

 

[ferrarimanf355]

Is there a Bore club I can join up with?

[Stoney Mason]

I couldn't find one. 

So I ended up just joining a random one.

[ferrarimanf355]

Same here, just joined a random one.

[ferrarimanf355]

They're adding a driveable area? Nice.
