Forza Horizon 2 General Discussion Thread

[Populuxe]

My gamertag is Quattro Saltire for if anyone wants to send me an FR and if there's any GTP clubs.

There is a club, it's called GTP, and here's the thread for it:

Welcome in advance.

Damn

So Played this Game again today after a short brea from it.

I've been playing more Project Cars lately, and suddenly I feel like a noob playing this game again.. Getting use to the old Controls is crazy

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Pre-order car pack now available.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Pre-order car pack now available.

*gasp* YES!

I can't wait to be reunited with my Superleggera!

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Well that's some good timing, I just went on my big buying spree last night/this morning, and was reminded how EB had screwed me out of my preorder Gallardo.

Guess I'll be grabbing that and this month's pack when I get home

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

T10 read my mind, I'll try it tonight. Can't wait to drive the M6.

 

[UKMikey]

Blimey, that's a good move. I wish all games with exclusive content did this after a suitable period of time.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

Now if we can get the remaining 360 exclusive cars.

If they called it a day with doc after that I would be satisfied

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I doubt it, I think DLC is done till FM6 comes out.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

No Allroad bumpers then?

Gah.

Still, the Caractere kit looks suitably mean.

I think they'll keep releasing DLCs until the FM6 unveiling (probably at E3). Then they'll start building up the hype for the new game.

A smart move for T10 would be to have one final tie-in DLC leading up to FM6, similar to what they did with FM4 and FH1 with the Viper. A final DLC involving the performance Fords could give FH2 a nice bump leading into FM6.

Just a note for USA players that the Cheetos Raptor from a couple updates ago is finally available via promotion.

Oh that's a bummer. I liked their inclusion in the first Horizon.

Look what's been floating around

 

[bremics]

Look what's been floating around

Is that the 2015 Camaro?

And I should know the car on the left.

They intend to give us every modern muscle car but the Hellcat aren't they?

And yes, considering my opinion on the Z06, the Hellcat itself is kinda pointless because you could easily make it in the game.

Just funny that the most requested modern muscle car never appears to show up.

 

[SimTourist]

I love the longer ongoing support for FM/FH this gen, new cars/tracks/expansions, T10/PG are really knocking it out of the park, hope FM6 follows suit.

What's the difference between the charger/challenger we already have and the hellcat versions aside from specs?

Some visual changes. Aero, lights, weird intake holes replacing two inner headlights and different interior.

Wouldn't you prefer an entirely new model sold to you as dlc rather than a slightly different trim of a car already in the game?

Sweet, I'll get to drive the Camaro Z/28 and e34 BMW M5. Though there's still no e39 M5, how annoying.

Yeah, it's starting to seem that way; it is kinda odd I suppose. Though, I'm kinda glad to just get to try these cars.
As for the Challenger hellcat, I guess Turn 10 might have a similar mindset as yours with the 2015 Challenger being not much different from the 2012 one. Though, I have to disagree with the hellcat. From what I've seen, that is a completely different animal from the SRT that's given to us in the game in both appearance and performance.

Though, I do personally wouldn't mind seeing more unique cars I suppose. I am annoyed that Turn 10 hasn't put an e46 M3 in FH2 yet or the S14 Nissan Silvia. Seriously Turn 10, what the heck?!

Now that I think of it, there's a lot more cars that Turn 10 looked over that they could have added. The Ruf CTR3, Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3, BMW i8, and I probably should stop and save this for the wishlist thread.

I liked seeing the Z06 pop up in the last pack. The Z/28 is even better, personally. This has to be a good sign of what to come with FM6.

 

[SimTourist]

It would be nice to have all the versions there are, and in a perfect world you would, but in our reality where it takes 6 bloody months to model a single car the devs have to set their priorities right to satisfy most customers. There's still a ton of great cars from FM4 that didn't make the jump to nextgen yet and I'd rather have them focus on diversity first and density later.

This is the hellcat

@RandomCarGuy17 and there's not that many Astons too.

Alright, I was a bit confused because google gave me pics of both charger/challenger. But anyway, seeing how many people are asking for it expect it to be FM6 pre-order bonus lol.

 

[neddyie118]

Fingers crossed for the BMW I8 being in this car pack because the I8 is electric and the title of the car pack being Duracell!!

 

[VXR]

I can't wait to take that E34 out for some corner carving. The tight junctions over by the Industrial zone are perfect for it. I really must take out the 850CSI.

 

[neddyie118]

I wonder if we will get a clue thread for the Duracell car pack tomorrow?

 

[neddyie118]

It doesn't look like we are not getting a car pack next week there is no mention in this weeks week in review.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

FM4 got a whole lot of support last gen, considering the 12 car packs plus the Porsche one, but yeah, I agree. The final version of FM5 is a very different animal to the release one. It's surprising to me they're keeping the packs coming for Horizon, but it's a good one.

Now, why do we not have the Wraith yet?!

That's exactly what I was thinking: it flies in the face of T10's "only the most powerful" approach, or at least the one they seem to have. I realize the Z28 is more expensive and a better track performer than the ZL1 in the game, but I'm hoping this means they're looking at including more than just one trim level of certain cars in upcoming games. I'd hate to lose the '15 Mustang GT just for the 350(R), if we can have both (or all three) instead.

I don't really remember the list with FM4, but I think it was pretty diverse. I think FM5's was more a result of time restraint on a new console & now that it's laid out the foundation, T10 will continue to add more variety to models. They already do a nice job of at least adding different generations of a model. My thoughts, anyway.
