How is Forza Horizon 2 different than Forza Motorsport?
I've only played Motorsport.
I've only played Motorsport.
Forza Horizon 2 Demo |OT| "Where we're going, we don't need roads."
- Thread starter klodeckel
- Start date
Follow my instruction above, this includes making clutch the A button.
Tip: If you press start just as you gain control of the Lamborghini you can get into the settings menu before it locks you out and you can play around with it with assists off.
It's SOOOO much better with assists off and manual w/ clutch.
Tip 2: If you choose the Bowler you can tune its suspension before a race; this cannot be done with the Mitsubishi although I'm not sure about the Audi.
It's still in, it is the option labeled switch handbrake with clutch.

The graphics looks almost real. So much for the "underpowered" Xbox One.
As far as that discussion goes, RYSE took care of that idea long ago.
Yet some people still hold on to it.
OT: Who knew plowing through open fields at hundreds of miles per hour would be so damned fun...
People will always bring up the resolution though.

The most satisfying part is when you see a vast amount of trees and you think "yep I'm gonna hit those" then you just effortlessly glide through them.
Doing so while in the cockpit view is especially crazy.

I use my wheel most of the time anyway
Have you picked up a TH8A yet?

not the resolution but the frame rate, if it was a locked 30fps, instead of runningmostly at 20-25, the X1 would have got the point across in terms of being powerful enough.
guys, forza 5 also was a day one game, sporting enhanced physics and sound and ai at a flawless 1080/60.
i can understand when people do not think reasonably (or not think at all) in the heat of the moment, but now almost a year has passed and everybody can go look at the game with cool mind and figure out 1+1=2.
but back then, as ryse was "dismissed" for not being "full hd", forza was also dismissed for "microtransactions" and "poor content" by many.
bottom line, not my loss for sure ;ppPp and enough offtopic.
about the question what will happen if you raise your Tier status AFTER you have started playing the game, I think you get all the bonuses that come with it, ie the car.

Tried the TM store or is it more expensive?
Pretty sure you will. I got tier 5 after Forza 5 came out and it let me claim the next reward.

There is no TM store for the U.S. for whatever reason. But I need to find the adapter for my rig anyway. I have the price for the fanatec shifter but I don't know where I put the thrustmaster one. My apartment isn't huge........but the peice is small

Mostly at 20-25? No, you're lowballing it, it's reasonably smooth most of the time, even if not locked at 30.

Very visible checkpoints.
And it's possible to navigate without the minimap in free roam mode by setting GPS points and following ANNA's voice instructions.
How do you break that way? I played FH1 with clutch on LB, and middle finger on LT for braking, but that's uncomfortable on the XO controller, so I dropped the clutch for FM5.
RB would be the best for me, but the only way to do that is to shift with RS, which I find really hard. I'll try the X-A-B kind of thing tomorrow, that could work.
Oh man, the wait is too hard. I might be getting it early depending on the store I get games from. I really hope I don't have to wait until Tuesday.

Even in the demo, I'm really impressed by how the online works. I've never really played readers online before, but it's so easy in this.
so, today I had time to use the tx wheel. here are my first 15min impressions
- simulation steering + trying to fool around drifting the stock huracan = not very arcade
fm guys will be happy enough.
- goto advanced control settings by pressing X, you can fine tune everything wheel-related there
- finally, when you press rewind, the wheel remains still and not fast-reversing all the force feedback and rumble instructions.
I thought I'd play horizon 2 with the pad, but now I'm thinking totally the opposite. off to climb the mountains!!

No assists at all except for auto clutch.
Driving and controlling the torque of the Koennigseg Agera with the wheel is pretty awesome.

I used my middle finger on the LT. Don't have an issue worked just as well as the 360 pad.
Anyways the demo is finally downloading. I had some great luck with ISP issues this year, E3 week & FH2 demo week (-_-)

Good to hear my wheel is ready! I wonder how they got it to work without spinning back to place. God knows that thing is dangerous when it does it.
its a quite different world than gamepad world, for sure.Welcome to my world

I am getting a hard time keeping control of the car at full open throttle, while with the pad it was a breeze.
but now, rain? fuck you! dirt? fuck you too!
my laptimes on the timed events are significantly slower with the wheel
I also have the same settings like you (including full damage -which you can reset anytime by pressing start then back), what settings you use on the wheel?
currently I lowered it to 600 degrees and force feedback to 65 and rumble around 70.
seems to work the best for me.
I dont know how they did it my friend, what I know is I want that patched to Forza 5 asap!! 8)

I only use it when learning a new car, but I'm surprised someone hasn't hurt themselves yet. Its like 2x faster then my fanatec was.

My first impression with the wheel with fh2 wasn't that great. I think the wheel is awesome for free roaming and even most of the street races but once I went off-road it was almost impossible to keep control with the wheel set to 900degrees.
I thought the ffb itself was great but it was just to tought to take the turns while offroad.
I'll have to retry it this week-end for sure but yeah...
lolol wife came, saw and conquered the wheel. 8)
I set no damage, no sim steering and abs on for her and she is having a blast driving up&down the coast line.
she is a fast driver in real life, but watching her play I laugh as she is more careful here
she even had her "oh shit moment" just now as she passed a high speed camera and she saw the flash lolol
megasoum, try wheel settings for sure. competing with 900degrees sim steering no assists on those open throttle wide angle turns on dirt.. haha only for masochists
once it clicks to where you feel comfortable, you'll be having a blast

Game is pretty fun but...
WHAT THE F*CK is up with the teenie-bopper, glow-stick-waving douche-bag presentation?
It's almost offensive.
"What's our target audience?"
"Well, we think we can cater to dumb party animals, so we're going strong on the shallow-rich-kid experience. Our theme will focus on raves, muscle tees, and high-fives."

I can usually handle it. I don't mind some of the peppy "life is perfect bc I'm 18" vibe, but this game in particular really takes it to a new level.
EDIT: I'm 31, not 78 as you might expect...

is the voice for the count to ten intro voiced by Yvonne Strahovski?
I agree, easily the worst part of the Horizon games.
