pre ordered the deluxe for 70$

Well this game is about as fun as a hot tub full of strippers, used smart glass to set it up while in the office, rolled into the living room "Xbox on" and it's already there pinned ready to rock.

This system is getting better by the day.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Does force feedback feel the same as Forza 5?

 

[jesu]

Excellent demo, my hype levels are through the roof now!

 

[Alexanders Ghost]

Whaaaaat the fuck? Wasn't expecting the game to be anywhere near this good looking.

 

[Summer Haze]

Quit the game and start the game. It will start from scratch.

Every time you turn off your X1, the demo restarts? That sucks. I wanted to play some more, but I don't want to do all that again.

Oh well, it's not as if I wasn't buying it day one anyway. I'll just wait for the full release and let the hype build.

 

[OrangeOak]

Probably a better capture card, I'm taking screen caps with Elgato's software.

Your screens are really washed out.It's like you have gamma or brightness set too high.

 

[RoKKeR]

Just got back and the remote downloading from Smarglass worked.

YES. So pumped. Main menu is ace.

 

[Shaunboy97]

Guessing I might have to go buy an XB1 for this then, just not sure how to justify it to the other half lol other than telling her that it's my money!

You'll have to spend a little extra and buy her something... That's what I did at times

[FonkyByNature]

The game looks dope !!! Thanks guys for sharing !

I'm not a huge open world racing games fan but i don't know about Horizon 2, it looks so fun to play judging from the videos... will buy anyway !

 

[Klocker]

the demo is very generous... online free roam? for real?

also the controller settings have really cool options, I'm on default 12 (I think) where shifting is on stick. loving what they did here with this game.

Ultimate edition on tap.

 

[AlanzTalon]

goddamn that game intro sequence with the hypnosis...been some time since a game opening gave me some chills.

This game you guys...

 

[rokkerkory]

Looks so great!

Forza Horizon |OT| Don't just look at them, run over the flowers, and that fence, and that table, and with enough air...that bird.

 

[Qassim]

Pre-ordered and is now preloading. I'm super excited for this, had a lot of fun in the demo.

 

[MXRider]

Can anyone find an online free roam session?

 

[FordGTGuy]

Apparently Forza Horizon 2 will unlock at 12 PM EST!

I've been in a few, send me a friends request(open to all) if you want to play together.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Damn. Playground are some wizards.

Managed to enter a free roam here. It takes a while.

This !

An absolute quantum leap from Forza 5 to Horizon 2

Never expected that.

There is just so much detail all around you.

 

[ekim]

98% - I'm so fucking hyped.

Gt?

Nvm it's your username. I added you can you invite me?

 

[FordGTGuy]

Gt?

Same as my username.

 

[mike4001_]

Expect big reviews from this one.

I kind of expect 90+ incoming ...

But I seriously don´t see this getting below 85

HOLD UP MATE, YOU'VE MISSED A CHECKPOINT. HOLD UP MATE, YOU'VE MISSED A CHECKPOINT. HOLD UP MATE, YOU'VE MISSED A CHECKPOINT.

FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING CUNT.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Hey All --

I might have to finally buy a XB1 for this game. Is that a dumb decision??

You can play this and all the other exclusives, and then in two years there will be Forza Horizon 3. Just think about that for a moment, and then you tell me - is that a dumb decision?

 

[mike4001_]

How does the handling compare to Forza 5?

I would say a little more "arcady" (but nothing compared to e.g. Need for Speed)

It forgives more and you can drive more with just holding the right trigger.

But in its core it´s still Forza and you have to look what you do ;-)

 

[greenegt]

Hooooo boy. I am trying to hold off on this one as I just bought The Golf Club, Madden, and Destiny in the last few weeks. These impressions are wearing down my resolve. Can't wait to see for myself, this evening.

Like it matters anyway.

 

[Bessy67]

Holy crap, I haven't had so much fun crashing since Burnout 3. They should put in events that score your most spectacular crashes.

They seriously need to have 9PM PST/12EST as all launch times... even for stores

Everyone gets it at the same time

Everyone can play at the same time

Rolling midnights has forced me to wait on friends
Strict 12PST forces east coasters no time to play

Holy crap, I haven't had so much fun crashing since Burnout 3. They should put in events that score your most spectacular crashes.

Probably not allowed. Car manufacturers would not like it.

 

[-tetsuo-]

how many events in the demo?

 

[lentini]

how many events in the demo?

Four. Two races, a bucketlist event and a showdown.

The sense of speed... :O

Also judging from the screenshots you guys posted in the previous page the IQ looks superb, such a beautiful game.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Horizon needn't be burdened with carrying on PGR's legacy. It's better.

Spoiler

Apples and oranges, I know, I know. PGR2's Edinburgh is still the GOAT.

Everyone at Playground deserves a raise. This game is sublime.

 

[Ecto311]

Ecto311 if anyone wants to race - that team racing is great - is that in forza 5? This game is really amazing and I was expecting a lot less in a demo

Bout time the west coast stopped dragging us down into their pit! I got my 3hrs back.

 

[RoKKeR]

Just did the first rally race. HOLY FUCK. Biggest smile on my face the entire time. What an adrenaline rush! Barreling through the fields in the cockpit view looked absolutely unreal. Motion blur/camera shake/windscreen cracking, that was amazing!

And the off road handling is so much fun. Holy shit I am impressed.

I just can't ge over the sense of speed. Amazing.

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Yup, I'm missing out on a beautiful XBO exclusive. This game has everything it seems.
Open world, dynamic weather (at launch), pretty graphics, fantastic soundtrack, great car engine sounds...

I want to play the game so bad but I'm afraid to end up with another XBO with that awful coil whine noise.
This shit is frustrating to me.

 

[p3tran]

I've been saying this for a long time.
the only thing needed is a gotham cities dlc

What you did there, I see it.

Whoa now! The game is amazing, but that is just downright blasphemous. Repent, repent!

The reactions in this thread are simply insane. I FUCKING LOVE IT! What a great game!

Wait for the white batch if you're worried. The coil whine seems to be in the Madden bundles from what I've seen.
