This is true.
Ford GT is almost a decade old and still a beautiful and modern supercar... damn I need this game.

I deleted the demo a couple days ago. I didn't want to tease myself further. Only 51 hours til I'm playing the full game.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
ohh boy.
If only I could upload some clips, you guys could see what I'm talking about. Looks like MS has done something which is preventing Forza Horizon 2 videos from being uploaded or even screenshots from even being put up on the FM site.
How come, when PGR was a corridor racer?
There are quite a few races in the game which are closed circuit city type, like in PGR. Not every race lets you cut through open fields and stuff.
there were definite moments were i felt like that with horizon 1. cool to hear, i could see how these larger urban areas would invoke even more pgr vibes

So, 360-exclusive cars confirmed, start at Lotus Carlton and end at Acura Integra.

Not sure if it's been posted here and I know you were asking about it. The Ford GT40 is in the game. Not a barn find, you can just purchase it in the store. 900k.

Unfortunately it's the ugly, disproportionate MK2 that Forza has always been stuck with, as opposed to the beautiful MK1, MK3, or (not as pretty but better) MK4.
Beggars can't be choosers. It's a GT40, I'll take it.

You guys are crazy, Judging by this video, the X360 game looks just as good as the first Horizon, which is great!
Oh my. Did you touch these up?
Just found those screens in a review
Very, very impressed by this shot. IQ is indeed out of this world. There are a couple of flaws but you really need to look for them. Great lighting too.

Still on the fence over digital or physical. I can get it cheaper at retail or get a preorder car, but this is the ideal digital game since I'll be playing it for a long time.
first world problems.

Digital FTW. The dark side beckons.

Has anyone played the Xbox 360 version of the game? If so, how different is it?

Digital, no shirt, no shoes, no problem. Pants are also optional.
Where do you live? If you live on the pacific coast in the US, going digital will let you play Monday night starting at 9pm.
Digital, can't wait to play Mon at 9 PST.

I have been going back and play Horizon 1 and man I sure miss the wheel in open world game. The lack of decent wheel on the One is really sad. (I know there's that Ferrari one but all the review said it's suck and I love my Fanatec even if it's the old Porsche one). I think I am going to double dip and get a physical disc version of Xbox 360 to play on my wheel set up.

Who, what, where, when, why and how?
Myself and other GAF members have the wheel and its quite good. The negatives being the plastic feel of the stock rim and the quality of the stock pedals, but aside from that I prefer it to my Fanatec PWTS.
edit: to clarify I am referring to the $399 TX wheel not the $100 spider wheel which is non FFB.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I did this. I drove to the festival and said enough. I'm good till the 30th.

Wow, really? I was checking reviews on Amazon and on-line and it seems to get terrible reviews from people. (such as wheel does not configure properly, cheap feeling for both pedals and steering wheel, poor force feedback etc.). May be those were early reviews and they were still working out the firmware. I will look into it again but if you said it's decent then I trust you. I will put it on my Christmas list this year, I thought I got it last year from my wife, turn out it was LEGO Death Star my wife got me (which was equally awesome).
Do you know if it's compatible with the stand (fold up one) by Fanatec?

Don't you have to participate in one race to get that promotion car?

What promotion car?

I have had it since January with no issues. There is a process of updating it which is kind of a hassle, but essential before you can use it. The Fanatec stands are pre drilled for Fanatec, Thrustmaster, and Logitech wheels. I have it currently on my Fanatec racing seat.

You get a bonus car for completing at least one event in the demo. Subaru WRX STI, if I'm remembering correctly.

2011 Subaru WRX STi gift car for completing one of the race in the demo.

It's $329 on Amazon right now ... I also didn't realize you can buy all kind of add-on for the thing (like better wheel and pedals set). My wife is going to kill me. Thanks for all the info.

Another owner of the tx458 wheel chiming in to let you know it's awesome.
I fact if you watch the first hour of insidesimracing.com preview, you will see a guy playing Horizon 2 with the wheel and initially being underwhelmed with the FFB strength.
Then he finds the FFB settings and I quote "YEEEEAH, BOOOOOOOOOOY" was his reaction.
That's coming from a guy who is a hardcore sim racer who has reviewed almost every piece of sim racing hardware you could think of barring motion rigs.
I'd trust him over amazon reviews any day.

You can live with the wheel rim but the pedals should be ditched as soon as possible. Got the T3PA pedals a few months ago, and the conical brake mod it comes with improved braking dramatically.
Plus you can throw some real pedals on them.
