And here goes the DriveClub x Horizon 2 fight again. Well, guess what? DC has better wheather, but that alone does not define a race game, and Forza Horizon 2 may be the best racing game to date. =)
Well, thats my opinion btw.

Gotta get this expansion! And I have the 50% disccount! =D

 

[SEGAvangelist]

It's funny how FH2 fans don't want any comments or posts comparing the weather to DriveClub but yet in every DC thread there were drive by shit posts by fans of an other game? It's not open world blah blah. Graphics are nothing special blah blah!

You're a really good poster, dude. Keep up the good work!

 

[RoKKeR]

Just noticed this comes out tomorrow.

Yo. What. Yes.

It's funny how FH2 fans don't want any comments or posts comparing the weather to DriveClub but yet in every DC thread there were drive by shit posts by fans of an other game? It's not open world blah blah. Graphics are nothing special blah blah!

It's time to stop posting.

Driveclub's threads haven't had a single FH2 post in weeks. The threads for each game are full of nothing but support and discussion for the game the topic is related to, not the other one. Nobody wants you here so just hurry up and leave.

This is awesome for FH2 players. Does the rain affect handling in any way? I remember Bloodworth from Gametrailers saying it didn't.

It does, it's a lot slippier.

Does Hawk do it? Do a majority of the people in this topic do it?

Is the handling better than FH1? If not, then I don't think I'd consider FH2's driving model to be that good, in my opinion.

But if it is better than the first game's, I might have to try it out if I ever get an XB1.

 

[jesu]

That's tomorrow!
And I think I bought VIP
Double YES!

Now go and cross-reference those posts to the posters in this thread.

Your argument is like a child saying "But (s)he does X too so I'm free to do X as well.".

 

[therealminime]

Sweet. I absolutely loved the main game so this is an awesome surprise. The off road stuff was the highlight for me. Yay!

I own both games. Try harder.

 

[HeliosT10]

Helios said more info would come very soon. I'm just praying that the barn find is a Warthog from Halo.

Have you guys watched the developer walkthrough videos with Ralph Fulton at the below link. Lot's of good info about the expansion in there.

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/12/15/forza-horizon-2-extreme-racing-around-storm-island

Not sure if achievements are mentioned but I can confirm there are 23 new Xbox Live achievements (adding up to 500 gamerscore points to your total).

 

[zombipuppy]

I just tried to add you to it but can't, I assume it's a permissions thing with not being a leader.

Thanks for trying! I gave the club leader a PM on here to see if they can add me.

 

[brokenbeans]

VIP member here I'll take it!

Do you play with all assist off?

COME ON.

 

[Leflus]

It would be very cool if Playground Games could be given a shot at creating a rally game...perhaps a Rallisport Challenge sequel!

*does MS own the copyright to Rallisport Challenge?*

I think they do.

If not, they could just make Forza Rallisport instead.

Maybe split the studio into two teams with one working on Rallisport and the other on PGR....

One can only dream....

Spoiler

lucid dreams with rare side effects

It really does.

Don't you dare bring that up again.

I've only just got over the heartbreak. I don't need to revisit that whole saga any time soon.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Honestly, I don't remember. It was early last year when I played the demo.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Forza thread infiltrated by Sony fanboys, no surprise.

Forza does have the whole "actually working since day 1" edge though.

Sorry, I cant tell you that cause I never played Forza Horizon 1. But FH2 handles pretty damn well imo! I play with some kind of assists here and there though (at about 70~80% extra credits).

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

nice!

 

[NullPointer]

Holy shit, is the entire island made up of off-road paths and jumps? PLEASE TELL ME YES OR MOSTLY YES.

If not, how much off-road paths are there compared to the base game map? Is this my dream of free roam rally?

This looks amazing, and at $10 I don't even have to think about picking this up - its just a matter of when really.

 

[GHG]

100% in on this. Will wait till the weekend before grabbing it.

 

[Mr.Fusion]

Will the island be loaded separate from the main map, or will we be able to drive to it?

 

[purpletentacle]

So wait, even if I bought the "Forza Horizon 2 Day One Ultimate Edition" I still have to pay 9 bucks for the DLC?

 

[HeliosT10]

It's an island so driving to it would be tricky

 

[soundscream]

Honestly, I don't remember. It was early last year when I played the demo.

Because the handling will vary differently depending on how many assist you leave on. You wont find a more realistic handling model in any arcade racer with all assist off. Not to mention the mechanical tuning that is available on the XB1 version to further customize your experience.

 

[RoKKeR]

It's an island so driving to it would be tricky

...bridges?

Interesting. Any size comparisons for the new island to other sections of the map?

 

[Montresor]

Hey guys. *throws grenade into thread* We don't need hashtags to #Drive in a Club.

Just kidding.

I for one am excited for all this DLC. Forza's dlc is coming out, as is Sunset Overdrive 's. Early next year we have Evil Within stuff too.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

So wait, even if I bought the "Forza Horizon 2 Day One Ultimate Edition" I still have to pay 9 bucks for the DLC?

$9.99, yes. They didn't sell a season pass for this game. You bought a car pass.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Wow. Once they get a GOTY edition I'll grab an X1 with it.

 

[HeliosT10]

...bridges?

Ah, touché. lol

 

[hawk2025]

It's an island so driving to it would be tricky

I do believe bridges have already been invented by engineers, my friend



Edit: and I'm late, lol


It would actually be nice if we could get the car in a boat and see it travel to the island otherwise!

 

[RdN]

VIP holders get a... discount?!?

What kind of bullshit is this?

 

[JaggedSac]

Honestly, I don't remember. It was early last year when I played the demo.

Early last year? Are you talking about FH2?

 

[U2NUMB]

VIP holders get a... discount?!?

What kind of bullshit is this?

It is not like any sort of DLC beyond cars were mentioned in the VIP. They never sold a season pass just car passes.

Not sure why people are upset.. getting a discount is more than I thought I would get considering they already gave us returning VIP members a discount on the VIP.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

VIP holders get a... discount?!?

The good kind?

 

[NullPointer]

The kind that makes flowers grow.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

This was 2013. Didn't FH1 have a demo on XBL?

 

[JaggedSac]

Cool, I'll probably grab it.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

VIP holders get a... discount?!?

What kind of bullshit is this?

Well, I was expecting that. When I bought the VIP and the car pass, there was no mention of any kind about expansions and stuff.

 

[U2NUMB]

This was 2013. Didn't FH1 have a demo on XBL?

Yes I am pretty sure it did.

 

[JaggedSac]

This was 2013. Didn't FH1 have a demo on XBL?

Ok, so you are talking about a FH1 demo. I didn't follow the post chain all the way up to your original. My bad.

 

[Discusguy]

This looks great. I rarely ever buy dlc. This will be one of the rare occasions. Loved FH2.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

The kind that makes flowers grow.

Perfect!

Don't you dare bring that up again.

I've only just got over the heartbreak. I don't need to revisit that whole saga any time soon.

Sorry. I want a new PGR as much as you do, but I couldn't resist.

I won't be disappointed if their next game is FH3 tbh. FH2 has been amazing so far, and the DLC looks promising. I hope they're thinking about adding snowy areas to the next game (or FH2 expansion) though.
