Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Forza Horizon 2 Announced - Cross-gen coming this fall

walsufnir on 04 June 2014

The game looks extremeley promising content-wise and a decent upgrade from the first version which was absolutely outstanding and is still fun to play. Gorgeous graphics, wonderful controls, quite a big map.
I am very looking forward to friday to see actual gameplay!

It's incredible how some people still think Forza Motorsports and Forza Horizon are the same game releasing each year while both games are different.

Cross gen, that brings 2 problemss :

-So One has only one exclusive game in 2014

- Cross gen games never look as next gen as next gen games


Not in this case the X1 is based on Forza 5 and the 360 version is based on the first Horizon plus the two games are developed by two different studios.

What's the point of this game?

They are eroding the value of their franchise of which last iteration, Forza 5, was great and beautiful.


It's different from the main line games.  Plus there is a good chance this will actually be a lot better then Forza 5.

lol... how will all the xbox fans who couldnt stand to see DC at 30fps cope with this now?

anyways... 30fps is good enough for second rate racing games. I think forza and GT will always be 60 where the difference matters in sim racing.

Several reasons, mainly: The first Horizon had 30fps locked. And with locked meaning no single frame ever dropped. Second the special treatment for input delay and physics update done at 360hz which is seldom to never found in other racing games rendering 30fps.

Yeah but why would you even assume DC wont be locked at 30 and that only devs who work on forza horizon are capable of "special treatment"? Hardly a convincing argument.

Who did? But actually a lot of people assumed H2 is going to be bad because cross-gen. Why?

Seriosly though PG have a (very good) record with H1 so assuming locked 30fps and very good refresh for everything else is much safer than in DC but of course not locked out. And I don't want to convince you as this is impossible given your record.

If you didnt then what else could the reply with 'reasons' mean?

As for cross gen titles being bad, ask the person who said it, not me.

H1 was a 30fps game so the second one was expected to be 30fps. Plus the first one didn't really feel like a 30fps game as I explained above. And the devs were never targeting or teasing 60fps - this is also different to 60fps.
