Forza Horizon 2 Launch Trailer

Definitely going digital on this one, I know I'm going to play it a hell of a lot! But, I'm not even gonna touch the demo unless progress transfers to the full game.
 
So apparently the Forza Fuel event is happenings in real life. I didn't know that! People like Matt Farah and Tanner Foust are in it, I think. I'm going to have to look into this after class lol
 
Going to buy the game but don't know if I should get it from gamestop day one or MS store "standard" shipping. Does MS send them out early or do they ship on release day?
 
I want to preload the demo :(

What time is it releasing? Midnight US Eastern Time like the retail release?

I haven't had great experiences with MS store shipping, but I haven't used it in quite a while. I'd say go with physical store when possible.

Cool thanks. Don't much like gamestop but if it means day one I guess...retailer exclusive shit is annoying. Are those vehicles in game or actually exclusive?

Yeah, I think it is like Forza 4 where the pre-order cars are not in the game unless you have the code. If I'm incorrect, someone please correct me (I'm not a fan of this system either). For a list of cars and ones that are pre-order exclusive, see here: http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_postst15409_Horizon-2---Car-List.aspx
 
Buy digital or retail... buy digital or retail... hnnng
(usually, the place where I preorder games, sends them out a few days earlier... so probably retail)

plus retail usually offers a preorder car or two. Wonder if the digital preorder offers the same.
 
Oh god, this might push be over the edge into buying an XBO. Master Chief collection had me tempted but this looks awesome.

I really hope Driveclub scratches my racing itch.
 
Gutted that I haven't got an XOne to play it on (360 only for me, familiy means I can't justify massive outlay!)

Well, you could always play the 360 version. It may not have weather or drivatars, but it's more Forza Horizon, and why wouldn't you want more of that?

so, who can tell me how this works?
I had a quick look at xbox/fuel site, saw teams and cars, but havent understood how by picking a team somehow you will aid it.
we will have daily challenges inside horizon demo that their successful completion somehow will add something to the team we chose? if so, that would be 10000X better than "helping" by mouse-clicking on interactive web stuffs.

now, looking at the cars, advantage goes to team outby11, they have that 650s, and team champ with their 700hp lambo-gorilla. but even this, how will they compete? closed cirquits? private roads? canonball-like free outlaw runs? (you can still do that in Greece, am not so sure in other places :D )
 
Hm. That Mojang acquisition probably means zero chance for Playground Games joining Microsoft Studios. It saddens me. I don't want another Bizarre Creations to happen :'(
 
I also wish we could get some more infos on how exactly the Club system will work. What we know so far:

  • there definitely are team races, but not much info given about how this will work with the clubs
  • clubs can have up to 1.000 members
  • there will be leaderboards within a club
  • a club can somehow unlck Credits/cars/whatever faster, also no concrete info on this

Here's an old post I made that might shed some light on your first point.

Can't wait for the demo to come out, hopefully you'll all enjoy it!

P.S Ashad - Our media team apologises for making such a kiss ass trailer ;P (hehe, just messing with you!)

Thanks guys.

If it were going to happen it would be for a fraction of the cost. The acquisition of mojang would have no relevance.
 
Give me some title suggestions for the demo thread!
seen what you posted before...

horizon demo OT of not exactly mojang, but pretty much all the money

:D


btw, do we get to turn off abs, traction control, line, hud, and maybe enable simulation steering and damage on the demo Helios?

Yeah, you can do all that in the demo :)

Someone earlier asked about HUD elements, they're fully customisable by the player.
 
So we can preorder this starting tomorrow, it'll be my second big purchase using the gamestop money. Thank you gamestop.
