Ah well at least we got info.

Ah well at least we got info.

Yeah bout time! Looks like it'll be a very similar version to Horizon 1 on the 360 with just a new and bigger map, more cars at launch and a lot more events. So all in all, it looks pretty damn good!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Glad there's no rain for the 360 one.

Exclusive pic of the x360 version

 

[The Stig Farmer]

In summary:

• 24 hour day/night cycles for both 360 and One versions
• Dynamic weather only on One
• Certain cars are not in the 360 version (open wheel cars most likely)
• 8 player online lobbies on 360, 12 player lobbies on One
• 720p on 360, 1080p on One. 30fps on both consoles

Open wheel cars won't be on the one either

 

[SuperVeloce]

But the Ariel Atom V8 has already been confirmed for FH2... (Only on XB1 Id imagine)

 

[The Stig Farmer]

...and so is the Caterham R500.

They're track cars. When you said open wheel I was thinking of Indy and f1, my bad

Cue the Medic's chorus.

FINALLY, some info (and a picture) about the 360 version!

 

[Spitty]

Omg the Land Rover Defender is in! I can't believe they include a car that takes 24 sec to 100 kmh. Haha

[GTvsForza]

Any idea if there's going to be a 360 demo?

 

[ImaRobot]

Im actually glad for the Mugen CRX. I love that little car.

 

[GTvsForza]

2015 Ford Mustang GT

... wow. That was unexpected.

 

[shawtyoner]

No DC2, no E39. Again. Why have you forsaken me PG. Hopefully DLC. Anyways, still looking fwd to this game immensely. Now I just need to go and get the BOX!

 

[warp9engage]

Regarding cars, I'm sold. Excellent list, and apparently, the pre-order cars are not included which means all of these are cars will be available for everyone. Great! Now, what I want to know is how hard will it be to collect these cars. Will it be fair or will it be a constant grinding marathon? Once that question gets cleared up, I'll consider starting my next-gen console experience on Xbox One.

 

[yabiggoose]

Any idea if there's going to be a 360 demo?

I doubt it. Not til after launch if there is would be my guess.

They do have a (moderately) new console they're trying to get people to buy.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

For 1997, the last year the Defender was available in the U.S., you will find a potent V8 under the hood, accompanied by a four-speed automatic transmission.

They put in the V8 Murica-spec Defender...

 

[Spitty]

Ah now that's even more exciting, I never drove the V8 version, neither saw one during my 4 years at LR.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

2003 Ford Focus RS
2015 Ford Mustang GT
1993 Renault Clio Williams
1968 Lancia Fulvia Coupé Rallye 1.6 HF

*GASP*

YES!

 

[UKMikey]

No car clubs on 360? That's too bad. I wish there were some form of cross platform interoperability between the two versions but guess this'd be too hard to pull off given the different car rosters.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

... wow. That was unexpected.

It was DLC for 5 so I was betting that it would come here same with the Veneno.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

My. Freakin. Baby. Has. Arrived.

You and me both. I've been dreaming of a Fulvia in a racing game for 15 years and it's finally here.

You never played dirt 3 then?

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Anyway, I completely missed that this was on the soundtrack

 

[Populuxe]

1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2
1968 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
1971 AMC Javelin AMX
1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT
1973 Ford Capri RS3100
1968 Lancia Fulvia Coupé Rallye 1.6 HF
1997 Land Rover Defender 90
1961 Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage
1973 Renault Alpine A110 1600S
1963 Volkswagen Beetle

Having looked over the final list, this is my Top 10, the ten cars I will be spending the most time with. I've got my muscle car, my 4x4, my pure racecars, my Ferrari, and just a bunch of fun cars. This game can't get here soon enough.

 

[Patrick]

I wish there were spinner rims. Would go perfect on the Escalade.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Hope the wraith will be DLC. Surprised that there's no v10 m5 and m6.

Nothing unexpected in terms of differences. 👍

I could have sworn it appeared in a few games before, but there's really nothing but Dirt 3 and Rally Trophy.
