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).

I guess that pretty much disqualifies the 205 T16. But then, there's a glimpse at a 512 TR in this video, so...

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

Then, I hope it's a EU-model with the US-spec headlights.
 
I have been making some pretty good progress with this game over the previous week. I am down to around 6 championships left before the finale. I have also photographed over 100 cars for the "rare photograph challenge." Finished and published a couple more paint jobs. Found another barn find too.
 
Just watching Ronin and they've just arrived in Nice. I'm certain Horizon's rendition isn't to scale, but they've captured the look really well.

To get a Ronin car pack would be amazing; S8, Citroen XM and Peugeot 605 spring to mind.

They seem to be adding the 360 exclusives as a free car each pack, so probably not. I certainly wouldn't mind a Carlton on the XOne version...

Oh yes the Carlton :drool:

I hope the m4 will sound like the real thing. Ik lots of people don't like the sound but I think it's amazing.

I don't see how you get "M4" from "Mmmm, this car is a breakout from its brethren models, but forges a brave new path." What is so "breakout" and "forging a new path" about renaming the M3 coupe M4?
 
@UKMikey and @FuzzyFassbender i found an article explaining the Xbone controller. Seems those 2 new motors below the shoulder buttons do make a difference:

I've been comparing to Grid AS and there you feel gearshifts, tyres loosing grip with subtle vibrations etcetera, do you have those same effects whilst playing FM or FH2 on Xbone now?

Hope i don't sound too anal about this, but it's quite important for the immersion factor these things, and on FM4 i found this lacking.
 
I'm glad the Legacy RS and E28 M5 already made it into FH2-360; I'd be pretty cheesed if the Legacy only turned up as DLC for a game I don't play, again.

I'm also happy for XBone owners at all the good DLC picks this time around. 👍

I like the trigger feedback, easier for me to feel brake lockup. I also like the engine rumble and gear shifts, don't remember feeling that in FM4/FH. The only thing I prefer with the 360 controller is a slightly stronger spring on the left stick. To me, FM2 plays fine with a gamepad as the "gameplay" is more arcade. The car handling though is much better than the typical arcade racer and better than GAS in my opinion.

Thanks for the info 👍

So with the the left stick you mean the vibration or the feeling of the stick itself and thus the ability to steer?
Would like to own FM5 (and FH2 also for that matter), as everyone is damn positive about it and they both look and sound stunning. But until the time i get a next gen console i'll settle for the joys of GAS indeed (one of them being that the vibration is great there with a DS3 ) :)
 
I'm officially frustrated. I just spent the last 30 minutes or so trying to get that Pagani up to 200mph in the new set of bucket list challenges, and I keep failing. I just can't get it past 198 before I hit the speed trap. I just don't know what else to do.
 
The 370z can go and get ....

First one I tried, mustang, got it first shot. Then Nissan. I have now given up after an hour and have turned the bone off.

I've no idea if this strategy will work or not, since I've not played that version and don't know what it entails, but I know in one of the 360 Bucket List challenges, I had to drive away from the target to get enough run-up. It meant cutting the timer pretty close, but it was the only way I found...

I tried that, cutting cross-country to the road that goes north and south to Castelleto. It's a straighter road and I felt like I could get more speed out of it, but it looks like I either go too far north before heading back south and run out of time, or don't start north enough to get up the speed necessary to make 200mph.
 
Making some great progress with this game lately. Reached level 100 last night and now I only have 5 more championships left before the finale. Also put a quick tune on my 56 Mercedes sl 300 Gullwing for D class. Still one of my favorite cars. I have also taken pictures of around 120 unique cars. Just cant get enough of this game.

I didn't play any races after the first four, but the last couple of days I started to. I really like that you can win races using whatever car you fancy and you're not forced into it. Started the Modern Muscle last night with the SS out of Saint Martin. Great fun.

I noticed that last night too that I was able to keep playing through the game even if I was using the same car. That was nice for sure. They truly have made some excellent decisions with FH2. I have an entire new respect for Playground games. Hopefully T10 will use some of the features for F6.
 
It definitely feels more like you choose your own adventure this time. I don't want to drive certain cars that I think are ugly or boring. It would be a bind if you were told you had to use a new Clio RS when you wanted to use the old Williams, for example.

I love games which give you freedom to cater it to your needs. It's why GT doesn't hold my attention now and why I used to prefer Pro Evolution Soccer to Fifa, because I could edit whole leagues and the teams in them and play in my own reality. This is where H2 excels. I wanna be that guy who steadfastly uses my favoured cars to win races.
 
I tried to jump into the game yesterday, and it just wouldnt sync up :( It would freeze while trying to initiate the sync, but I can still dashboard but the sync pop up stays covering even the dashboard. When I go back in game the sync pop up would disappear completely, other times it would actually initiate the sync process. However, it took about 25 minutes to get to 23%, and then it disappeared again. When it disappears it will stay on the loading screen for ever and not do anything.

I've read that if you actually get the process to initiate, then to just let it go on, no matter how long it takes.. Thing with that is, that I've read some people taking hours for it to finish. Really a pain in the ass as Ive been missing Horizon, and wanted to collect my Lambo, as well as my monthly reward, but cant even get the game to start.
 
I can't get my saved data as well, I try to sync but it fails straight away.
 
With drivatar car levels being matched to yours, does anyone else find themselves upgrading cars to whatever level you feel and not maxed out for each class? I like that it lets me keep some of the stock car's driving characteristics while still upgrading anything I feel is lacking.
