Forza 2 horizon for xbox one full#
Maybe you will find a hidden race? Maybe you will find a brand new car? Maybe you will stumble upon an illegal race in the middle of the night? Who knows! We were only shown a very small bit of the gameplay and it’s sure to open up when the full game releases. Of course, there are a lot of other reasons to explore the open world as well. You might just have to fiddle with them less with the right perks turned on.
They were described as “helpful options.” Car physics, for example, don’t change. That’s not to say that these perks are a win button though. These perks increase your driver’s abilities, making driving a little bit easier. These wacky and frankly awesome stunts earn you skill points, which allow you access to an expanded RPG style perk system. Instead of simply going for every race you see, take some time off to drive through the mud, ramp off a rock, or even drive off the side of a building. That’s not to say you can’t have a little fun though. For now we were only shown the single-player mode, but the thought that you could do all of this with your friends online is exhilarating. There are a lot of different events including races, marathons, one on one races, time trials and more. You are plopped down in a GTA style open map and you usually just drive to the starting line of an event to start it. This works basically the way you would expect. The majority of the game involves driving around the world and finding racing events. You’ll have to remember that your car handles differently on the road than it does on dirt, or grass, or sand, or cement block. You’ll have to be very finicky with your brakes and shifting and gas. Physics are an incredibly important part of this game. The thrust of most of my racing strategy is, “hold the gas down and don’t screw up.” Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for simulationist enthusiasts out there, Forza Horizon 2 doesn’t let you do that. I’ll admit, I’ve never been a big racing gamer. You’ll blaze through mountain roads, drift through crowded cities and cut paths through the dirt as you sign your name in burned rubber and asphalt. France, Italy, Spain-it’s all just your racing playground. I say continent because you very often will drive cross country. The new location for the Horizon racing festival is Southern Europe, allowing you to drive around a whole other continent.
I’m sure if I were one to geek out about engine specs and such I’d be a happy camper, but for now all I can honestly say is that the game looks awesome. I’m not much of an auto-head, but the cars themselves look painfully realistic. The way the environment reflects off of the sheen of your car is a sight to see, and watching it warp in the rain, and at dusk, and through other environmental effects, is just a treat. The lighting engine alone is a marvel to behold. This is easily one of the best looking racing games out there. Well, open world was a buzz word at this year’s E3, so it was only natural that we would get to see the brand new Forza title at E3 2014.įirst of all, the game looks brilliant. That, my friends, is the big thing that set Horizon apart from other titles: it was an open world racing experience. Anyone who played the original Forza Horizon remembers that the game was based around the Horizon racing festival, which was kind of a thin premise to explain why everyone was racing around normal streets like maniacs. Forza Horizon 2 is a new Xbox One exclusive racing game from Playground games, and it’s a bit different from most Forza titles.
