Forza Horizon 2

[RamiTR]

Should I buy Horizon 2 or Foza 6? I loved Horizon on the Xbox 360, and I really enjoyed Motorsport 5 on my Xbox One. Now I can't decide if I should buy Forza 6 or Horizon 2 for the One.

That depends on your interests

 

Track racing: Forza 6

Free roam: Forza horizon 2

Drag racing (like a pleb): Forza 6 because it has drag tyres

Off road racing: Forza Horizon 2

Drifting: FH2 for beginners. FM6 for realistic drifting

 

I own both games so its hard to choose just one

I bought Forza Horizon 2 based on the post above and I'm glad I did. So much fun. Thanks

Definitely. I love rally racing, but I am a photographer, and the graphics and environments of Forza 6 are much more detailed for photography.

Got an XB1. Loving this game so much.

Any news on Horizon 3?

[Flachbau]

No. Because Forza Motorsport 6 just released less than two months ago. We probably won't hear about it for a while, if there will even be one.

Small bit of good news: the Forza 6 'Fast & Furious' car pack (with things like the first movie's orange Supra, DK's Fairlady Z, and the Gurkha LAPV from Fast Five) just got released for FH2 as well!

(good grief, that off-road Charger looks ridiculous - although I suspect it might come in handy for Storm Island races...)

[SuperVeloce]

Nice that they snuck that one out!

[RussianCommie]

Nice! I got an update for the game last night and was a bit confused because I figured they moved on to FM6 and that's their focus right now, but that's pretty cool to see that they didn't forget about FH2 . Good move on their part and I'll probably end up getting the pack.

[Commander S]

It's an interesting pack, because like the Furious 7 pack, they're all pre-tuned to approximate the movie cars. A bunch of them are basically upgraded versions of the stock cars, a bit like the Furious 7 Supra - so where that car still behaves like a Supra in all respects, but now with the capacity to outrun a stock GT-R, the 2 Fast 2 Furious R34 Skyline likewise now puts out supercar numbers, but with that lovely, lovely Skyline 'corners like it's on rails' AWD handling (that I reckon the GT-R lacks, frankly - I kinda see why Nissan dropped the 'Skyline' from the name, because it definitely behaves more like a modern AWD super than an upgraded Skyline). Probably going to become my go-to joyrider in FH2, because damn.

More interesting, though, is the original movie Supra - because it's very much not a traditional Supra build anymore. For one, it's actually S2-grade (!!) - very little wheel spin, accelerates quickly, and then ...just keeps going. On the other hand, it's VERY rigid (by any standards, but definitely unlike what one would expect from a typical RWD car like a Supra), to the point where it qualifies as chronic understeer, particularly for circuit racing. But that's kind of the point - it's a drag racer in the movie, and that's exactly how it behaves here. Point it in the direction you want, and it'll shoot off like out of a rail gun, with next to no deviation or torque-steer. Great OTT fun, sounds awesome (like a jet-powered buzz-saw), and like with the other street racers from the earlier movies, it's got all the cool interior details when you're driving in 1st-person mode.

Managed to get a pic next to the Charger Daytona, complete with fortuitous lighting - I know not everyone likes the look of it, but the visual mods on this car really suit the 'ridiculously over-exaggerated' nature of it. Besides, for a car that goes stupidly fast, but doesn't like to dodge traffic easily, you want people to see you coming to get out of the way...!

[RussianCommie]

Commander S summed up the Fast & Furious pack nicely. In essence, they are basically upgraded versions of stock cars that are already in the game. However, they still have their own unique factor, so to say, because they come to be designed after the cars from the respectable Fast & Furious movies that the cars have appeared in. I only tinkered a nice amount of time with the Supra, the Eclipse from the first movie and the Skyline from 2 Fast 2 Furious. My, oh my, the Skyline is a monster and probably one of my favorite cars in the game. The Supra is also sick! It's in the S2 class, as Commander mentioned, I managed to get the car up to 210 mph, before it topped out, but however, you can still get it up to 215 mph by just accelerating more. A few of the cars that were included with the pack, I would honestly have replaced them with a few of the other vehicles that have been in the movies, but that's me. I wouldn't have minded having Johnny Tran's S2000 from the first movie, rather than, Suki's S2000 from the second movie. I just feel that if you're going to pay $10, the cars should have some unique paint jobs on them. Suki's S2000 is basically just a pink Honda and is just meh. They also included this Insurgent type vehicle, can't recall the name, from Fast Five, I believe. I feel that they could have replaced that vehicle for something else honestly, I just don't feel right with it being in FH2, but not much to do now about it. All in all, the pack is pretty nice, especially if you're a fan of the movie and FH2, it's basically a good match for you, as is my case.

Yup this pack surprised me and made ne giggle like a schoolgirl. I can drive that badass charger where it belongs. However there is no one online anymore like there used to be, so good full lobbies are pretty rare. Seema the players really have moved on to Forza 6, or have dropped it for Fallout or some sh*t.

[RussianCommie]

In my case, I moved from FM6 back to FH2. FM6 is a beautiful game and is not bad at all, it's actually an awesome game, but I've always personally been a fan more of the Forza Horizon series rather than the Forza Motorsport series. Track racing is not really my cup of tea. I really like Horizon's open world map and being able to explore around the whole map.

I don't have a preference. I enjoy the open world exploration, but I also love the competitive track racing and time trials.

I have this image as my Xbox background. Love this shot:

Does this still have a lively online community? I'll hopefully be getting this at the end of Jan. Would love to go one some night time cruises w on some of the motorways with people here. Barely any of my mates own an X1

Not anymore really. Most everyone moved to FM6. Even free roam lobbies are pretty dead. Now it is mostly just a Single Player game.

It's pretty dead. I mainly use it to take cool pictures of cars I like. If you're looking for community, most people moved on to Forza 6.

 

[Mister Pink]

Nice pics.

 

And that's disappointing. I might join a forum where I can find and meet up with people who are really still love going on regularly.

 

What are you guys playing it on? I'll be getting it for X1

x360 port is garbage. Literally a reskin for FH1.

[Flachbau]

That would be an insult to Forza Horizon 1.. FH2 is way worse.

[Maxxi]

on 360 it is. On X1 it is obviously a sh*t ton better lol

[Flachbau]

Haha, of course it's better on XB1. My point was that FH2 is way worse than FH1. FH1 on 360 has way more sh*t in it, and it looks better.

[Algonquin Assassin]

Don't know why they just didn't make Horizion 2 on XB1 exclusively. Never played the 360 version, but have always heard negative things about it. Glad I got it on XB1.

the only positive things were a few exclusive cars they got which were later released as DLC on X1. Because of that the 360 version is now entirely obsolete.

An exclusive car which was the Charger Daytona. Other than that, dont waste your time with the 360 version. Its beyond awful
