Most the advantages described are relating to the fact that they are "making the most of the extra processing time" due to it being 30fps compared to forza 4 which is 60fps.

You seem to be reading it like its a comparison against other 30fps games.... and the section which is actually doing that you are not paying attention to.

"This isn't quite the same level of achievement as Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (which based on the games we've measured is the most responsive 30Hz game ever made)"

Atleast that clears up the fact that forza horizon isnt doing anything which is out of the reach of other developers.


I never said others can't do it - but obviously besides NFS no other game did.

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.


One game is open world and the other is not. There really is no reason to have the debate or even wonder. The thing DC needs to worry about is an open world game having the same resolution and frame rate looking better than it.

No, it really doesn't have to worry about that. Sorry.


It just has to worry about Horizon 2 being a much better game overall since Playground Games has a much better track record since the first and only game they made so far the first Horizon is already better then anything ever made by Evolution Studios.   And going by everything released about Horizon 2 so far it will be a lot better then the first game .

In your opinion, yes, in my opion, not even close. I really think you and others need to concentrate on Horizon being a good game because if you start this whole graphics debate again, you're going to be faced with some embarrassing comparisons. Great game yes, but it's not going to be as graphically impressive as Driveclub.

He never said anything about graphics. He said it was a better game than anything Evolution has done. Still an opinion of course, but entirely unrelated to what you're saying. Unless graphics is all a game is in your opinion

Horizon 2 will be the better game that is all that really matters.

Not just an opinon its a fact.  Evolution Studios never published a game that is better then the first Horizon which ended up with a final metascore of 85/100 and was one of the best racers of the last genenration and the highest rated racing game of 2012.

Well I'm pretty sure the final metascore will make it a fact if you actually would have played the first one you would agree with my so called opinion.  85/100 metascore for the first one the second one will be better then the first one so I highly doubt that Driveclub can top it since it lacks content to do so.  Facts know about Horizon 2 so far is that it will launch with at least 200 cars, the map will be three times bigger then the one in the first game, barn finds will be back and half of them will be cars that are brand new to the franchise, it will have 700 races in the single player mode and take at least 100 hours to complete.

Reviewers opinions are still just opinions. So while I agree with you that Horizon is better than Evoluion's games (at least the ones I've played), it's still just an opinion. A popular opinion perhaps, but opinion nevertheless
