Forums - Microsoft - Beautiful forza horizon 2 pics

That's actually really nice looking for a gif.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

In an interview with IGN they were very straight forward they there making this game hard locked at 30fps.

This game is 1080/60, right?

1080p/30fps. It's an arcade racer so 30fps is somewhat expected.


Its not an arcade racer.

Also, the 30 fps probably has more to do with the open world.

Well its more of a arcade then sim racer even though now all the cars a fully tuneable.  Yes it runs on the Forza 5 engine but if you look at videos of actual gameplay it more or less still plays like the first game.  Which to me is actually a good thing since the first Horizon was one of my favorite games on the 360 I wouldn't say that is was better then Forza 4 but it sure was more fun.



Hoping it shows up at gamercon next month and that the demo will be released in mid August.

I've played plenty of Forza Horizon and Forza 4 on 360. Both fall in realm of racing sims. Forza Horizon is still a deep game that feels much more realistic than any traditional arcade racer.

Games like Outrun, Mario Kart, and Daytona USA are what comes to mind when I think of arcade racer. A simplistic, maybe even exaggerated game not aiming for realism.

Being open world in itself has little effect on the frame rate, that's to do with the rendered LOD (i can explain if you like, but i'll have to do it tomorrow. About to go to sleep :p).

FH2 being 30fps is a design choice, not a limitation of the world type. The developer has actively chosen to favor better graphics/more dynamic game aspects rather than 60fps. It's the same reason Burnout Paradise was 60fps on the 360 but FH1 was 30fps (both open world).

I know FH isn't a 'proper' arcade racer, but the reviews I've read about the original imply it's somewhat of a hybrid between sim and arcade. If something is a proper sim (GT/FMS) it's generally 60fps, if it's anything else it's generally 30fps (exceptions for both of course, but it's a common theme).

OK I get what your saying if you put it that way Horizon is more of a sim racer then a pure arcade racer.  Also since Horizon 2 will feautre fully tuneable cars they are definetly adding more sim elements to the second game.  But they are also adding some more arcade type content to the game since they are adding races that feauture short cuts and different routes.

Having an open world with those level of graphics is what I'm referring to.

I don't feel fps really has anything to do with being a racing sim.
