Forza Horizon 2 General Discussion Thread

Yes. Specifically the S65 or CL65 with the 6.0l BiTurbo V12 with 621bhp and 731lb-ft of torque.

Better still, the Mercedes C class based Brabus Bullit with 720bhp.

 

[mister dog]

Yes, Default Layout 12 is LEFT stick steer, RIGHT stick Accel/Brake, and shoulder buttons gears.

I went back to FM4 and found out that default layout 12 was present there also. Never scrolled that far in the controller settings to notice back when i was playing it with a pad

It works good but what i did notice using the 360 and FM4 is that the vibration is very weak and you don't get much feedback apart from when you ride over the curbs. Has that been improved for the Xbone controller and FM5/ FH2?

You can turn up the vibration scale in advanced settings. The new controller has rumble triggers which make it easier to tell when you're losing grip.

But like I said, all are limited to 155.

Something which is ridiculously easy to fix (and can often be removed from the factory) and is typically ignored in games anyway.

Just checked and my vibration scale was already set to 100, so even on max in FM4 the vibration is still really weak using a controller. Does it feel improved on next gen if you compare the feel?

 

[MagpieRacer]

Like the BMW M3, M5, various Imprezas and the like?

Oh yeah, no.

Problem with the Challenger Hellcat compared to any AMG or Brabus is it is a Challenger. No amount of power changes this fundamental flaw.

I have to admit, after playing Forza Horizon 2 since release, I'm starting to get burned out on smashing through fences and vineyards, ramping over mole hills, weaving through trees, and doing somersaults because my car's weight distribution is inconvenient when flying. I'm starting to miss serious motorsport again. I'm not done with FH2, as I have half the championships yet to do (think I've done seventy-some or eighty-some) but I may start plugging FM5 back into the disc drive. I've done all the career events in FM5, but I can setup my own races in free play, and I can run long ones. It's just a shame that tire life is so wonderful that you can run ten laps of the full Nurburgring circuit without really needing to pit for tires.

<...>smashing through fences and vineyards<...>

Am I the only one who consciously tries to avoid smashing through vineyards? I really can't bring myself to plow through what could be a decades or centuries-old vineyard, as virtual as it may be.

It certainly feels boneshaking to me.

Nope, don't care.

Looking forward to the new cars tomorrow. Played it again this morning and felt rejuvenated after over a week off. The cars feel better with the 0-100 pad settings, less eager to turn in on a knife edge. The Ruf RT12 S with 881bhp and over a thousand newton metres of torque is massive fun now.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Who said that the cars are coming tomorrow?

 

[VXR]

First Tuesday of the month, it always has been. The clue thread is always the weekend before, too.

 

[ClydeYellow]

Is it just me who can't reach fm.net? Perhaps they're having problems with...

...the news about the DLC?

(Gosh, I hope that 4C is the US-spec, because the EU-spec headlights are ugly!)

 

[UKMikey]

(Gosh, I hope that 4C is the US-spec, because the EU-spec headlights are ugly!)

I agree but they'd be more likely to use the model already created for Forza Motorsport.

But the US-spec headlights are optional over in Europe. The added 300lbs and ugly rear bumper are not optional on the US model.

 

[Populuxe]

Disregard

 

[Legro]

That pack got already released in 2012 for the first Forza Horizon.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Having three of those cars already in the game should've been a bit of a hint...

 

[ImaRobot]

If that's the true list, I'm glad I did not get the season pass.

 

[Fezz_ST]

Sounds like the Horizon 1 car pack, the Gallardo is a pre order car in Horizon 2 and the Cobra is already in

 

[Populuxe]

I didn't even realize I was looking at an article that was two years old.

 

[DurWinning]

Pack announcement will be tomorrow at 6:00 AM Pacific time.



In the meantime this video is said to "... mention of one of the cars the pack in this video" (excerpt taken from today's Rear View Mirror).

Said error occurred when I played the video.

Weird. It plays fine for me.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Now it works.

 

[DurWinning]

I'm starting to think that the car could be the Celica.

 

[Populuxe]

I just finished every championship. I kind of thought there would be something to mark the milestone in the game other than another achievement unlocked. You know, Ben saying something about it, or an extra payout, something. But no.

Nice work. I haven't gotten much further since I broke my wheel, just can't stand playing Horizon with the controller. Currently trying to get a good sensitivity setting for my Wireless Speed Wheel down, to make it fun again, though last week or two I've mainly been grinding FM5 for rewards points.
