The game looks good but that trailer is a gross example of false advertising. Replay mode and bullshots everywhere. The gif above is realistic the rest .... not so much. I hate when they do this ..... the game looks good on its own merit no need to lie to sell it.

Honestly just go watch the Gamespot video posted earlier... it seems plenty intense and overall similar to the action the trailer suggests.

Having the opportunity to play Forza during the free weekend made me super excited for this game!

same here man!

I liked the IGN much more: http://www.ign.com/videos/2014/09/11/forza-horizon-2-developer-commentary

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Wow, that rally stuff looks delicious.
Glad they made it a part of the game instead of DLC like the first game.

 

[Twin Tails]

Already at max hype, just give me preloading already

 

[StudioTan]

Seriously good trailer. Literally gave me goosebumps in a couple of spots, perfect choice of song. Kudos to whoever put that together.

 

[xam3l]

Hey man I loved your Forza videos. I've been wondering where you've been.

Its been more than one years since my PC died. I don't have were to edit stuff.
Also, the Xbox One was released last week in my country.

I'll be back to tha eventually. I miss that. :'(

Looks Sweet!!

I really enjoyed Forza Horizon so I am looking forward to Forza Horizon 2. I think I'll be taking the 30th off. We get a PTO day for our birthday so I might as well take it on the day after my birthday so I can play Forza Horizon 2 on launch day.

 

[cbox]

Some of the visuals look improved in this trailer, god damnit guys - I don't have an xb1 yet

 

[backflip10019]

I must say that after watching the trailer and playing Forza 5 over the free weekend, I'm interested in this. Might wait until a bit after launch to pick it up, but I'll definitely play it in the future.

The gameplay videos posted in this thread look exactly the same graphically, just with HUD deactivated, cool music, good cuts and very different camera angles obviously ... That's why its called a trailer.

 

[witness]

Fantastic. All the off road stuff has me really hyped. This is one of the games that pushed me over the edge and choose an Xbone this fall.

 

[zorbsie]

So pumped for this game. Love that they are using the Forza Rewards tiers to give fans cars as soon as they start the game. The showcase races were really cool in Horizon, I love that they upped the ante with Horizon 2. Dat train. Can't wait for this.

 

[Always-honest]

photomode maybe?

In this particular case i don't even think it might have been photomode.
But we'll know soon enough how it looks like in gameplay.
Gamespot allready showed some stuff (in their own compressed way ;P). so we can allready tell that it doesn't look bad at all and more important, it really looks like a lot of fun. So much to do and so many options.

 

[eso76]

That was beautiful.
399€ beautiful.

 

[-tetsuo-]

I wonder how simulation damage and tire wear is going to work in this game

 

[RulkezX]

That trailer and the GIF look like they're from 2 different games!

 

[outsida]

This is my most anticipated game of the year.

 

[Anion]

Cannot wait! Man it going to be so epic!

 

[Jarlaxle]

Well, I know what one of my 3 games is going to be when the inevitable buy 2 get 1 free deals start coming this fall.

 

[Odah]

OMG I got approved, first post right here.

Excited for FH2! That trailer looks awesome

Is there a FH2 gaf club that I can join?

Here are more of the Perks that have been shown:

Now I am curious what "Horizon Wheelspin" is!

In the first one, when you level up online you get a spin of a wheel.
You could win money or cars.

It looks good and I am buying the game but the trailer has been touched up as is evident from the actual gameplay videos that are popping up everywhere today.

I remember claims of the first FH shots being called bullshots only to look as good during actual gameplay. I remember replay footage and actual gameplay in the first FH being basically identical. Whatever the demo will be out soon.

And that should prove anything?

That's a really bad screenshot.

Yep. The proof will be in the pudding so to speak. Can't wait for the demo to be released

Like I said earlier too we have community members coming to Playground tomorrow for some hands-on and I'm sure they'll tell it how it is!

 

[Seanspeed]

I do think the trailer probably had a small element of touching up, but that's a poor shot to use, especially after being thrown through Imgur's compression.

Either way, you can watch the gameplay videos from Gamespot and whatnot and see that the game looks damn good in motion still.

 

[timlot]

That trailer was nice. Emotional in some spots. Game wasn't a must buy, but I might have to reconsider. Can't wait for the demo.

 

[shandy706]

Faints

 

[Duallusion]

Man, do I wish I had some money lying around somewhere to buy m'self an XB1 and this glorious baby. I consider FH1 one of the best racing games ever and I've played lots of them.

tl;dr: am jelly

Yea I agree that was a horrid screenshot these are directly from the trailer and look to be gameplay. Shit looks amazing and that was my point it did not need the added fluff the game looks damn good.

 

[Kajiba]

That trailer was amazing.

LET ME PRE-DOWNLOAD NOW!!

 

[Chorazin]

I'm so hyped for this, super glad I snagged a Xbone this week.

Anyone else hoping they continue the absolutely stupid storyline from the last game? it was so dumb it became great.

Damn, the game is going to have terrible compression artifacts everywhere, Disappointing.

 

[Heigic]

Might just be highly compressed video?

 

[EBreda]

Man, that trailer was beautifully put together.
Kudos to whoever did it.

Can't wait !

 

[schuey7]

This is how every racing game should do a launch trailer.Deeply impressive stuff.

 

[neurophd]

Yes, please! Got FH on the cheap for 360 couple months ago, so ready for this!

 

[TheF1BOB]

I like the fact there is still a story mode element to it.

Well Gamespot says they dialed it back, but I was hoping they would go 100% with that stupidass theme

 

[mrklaw]

demo or just hold out for the full game?

 

[metareferential]

That's a good question.

I guess it's better to just wait the full game if you already know you're going to like it.

It's difficult though.

 

[Fletcher]

That off road race in the Gamespot video at dusk is so amazing looking.

FH1 was probably, to me, the best racing game. So excited for this game.

demo or just hold out for the full game?

Hold out!

 

[Boudica]

I needed this game like yesterday. I'm pretty damn confident that Horizon 2 and FIFA 15 are going to be my most played titles for the next year.

 

[Shortt Sirket]

Oh yeah! I very rarely played the first one online, so I had forgot all about that.

 

[GlamFM]

Yeah, me too. Always liked that about FH1.

 

[VanWinkle]

What a great trailer.
