I'll bet you there'll be a lot of those liveries in the storefront.

I wonder if there will be a way to make working police lights and maybe even a siren.:lol: There's potential for some absolutely epic cop chases there.
 
I've heard that if you set your time zone to Kiritimati Islands, you will be able to play the game a day early. Does anyone know if there's any truth to that?
 
You'll be able to play the game when it releases in the Kiribati time zone (which is either UTC+12, +13 or +14). However, I'm not too sure when it releases there since there are several release dates around the world.

I'll be getting FH2 with the Xbox set in the US region, since it releases September 30 (it release officially in NZ on the 2nd) so I'll be able to get it a few days early. ;)
 
Did some research on the Internet about it to no avail, so I've resorted to asking about it on Twitter. I'm really letting the hype get to me.:lol:

Yeah, I think I'll be spending my gaming time on FH1 until I get my hands on FH2. I hadn't played FH1 since finishing 1000 Club -- caught up on some other games -- but I can't wait anymore. :)
 
The ISR review was nice and positive. I'm going to be glued to forums looking at pictures tomorrow, I know it.

I'm going to try and avoid all social media from tomorrow 'til Friday but I don't think my willpower will hold out that long. :lol:

Just so people know as there was some uncertainty, you don't have to have a digital copy of Forza 5 with VIP to get the H2 VIP 50% discount. Just bought it and the car pass and my FM5 is on disc.

Quick question; does the Xbox Store automatically take 50% off of the price, or does buying VIP have to be done via the H2 demo so it can 'check' your Gamertag to see if you're a VIP in 5?

Trust me, on your TV the graphics are phenomenal, leaps and bounds ahead of the 360, and it is most certainly a worthy benchmark for future games.

Hd screenshots (still compressed by YouTube, but a much better representation)

360:

One:

The difference is night and day.

Additional note: I love how on the one the cliffs and hill sides do not look plain and generalised, it looks painstakingly designed and detailed :drool:

I like em, looks good. 👍

To be honest, the graphics blew me away when I played the FH2 demo for the first time,
and I've been playing Forza 5 since release. The anti aliasing in this game is like high end pc settings.

The graphics in H1 were pretty clean and smooth too. Nice detail, and practically no jaggies at all.

I like the colors much better in FH2 and the audio is awesome, but it somehow looks simpler than FH1. I'm really starting to believe the 360 version is being nerfed on purpose to make the One version look better by comparison. :sick:

Horizon 1 was very nicely detailed I must admit. The drawing distance and LoD of the game and all, everything was very impressive. I would still wait for a final review though.

It takes it off automatically in the store. You don't have to go into the demo.
 
It's tied to your Gamertag.

Anyway, GameStop sent me an email telling me my copy has been dispatched. However, I opted for a regular shipping, so it probably won't be here til Thursday.

The game looks so beautiful when it rains:

Oooooooooohhhhh I pee peed my pants a bit :drool:

US buddies: when/if you manage to get the capri, could you please let me know, and say how long it took? Thank you :)
 
Is that water drop build up that I was seeing on the car as it was parked? When hes in interior view it looks as if the cars are flying :lol:
 
Here, have some H2 goodness:

And so it begins. This game is beyond win.

Edit: first it giveth, then it taketh away.

I've just read my first major downer with this game; you can't transfer vinyl groups from FM5 to H2, despite being able to from FM4 to Horizon.

That has totally bummed me out over it. I'm really glad I've not created much on 5, especially whole designs.

Yup, it's a shame, I want to think it wasn't possible, not just..."We don't feel like not giving the option".

Anyway, I created straight away the Carabinieri Defender design and 3 types of Italian plates for anyone to use :D
 
If you look at the difference between the 360 and One versions you really notice the difference a next gen console makes. This game looks absolutely stunning on the Xbone i must say. Haven't seen nature and country roads being portrayed this beautifully in any racing game so far, on top of the fact that the car models already look perfect.

Also like Darren points out in the ISR video review, the cockpit views and steering animations look better than in FM5.

Whoa wait seriously? That is a huge bummer. :(
On a side note I have also not created much in F5 because I really have not played it much. So I guess not a major loss but still disappointing.

It probably doesn't work because the rain changes the whole reflection map of the car body, so previously saved paint textures aren't compatible with the weather change.
Just a guess, but it would be a good excuse.

I'm curious if there will be any crossover between FH2-360 and FH1, vinyl groups or anything else.
Click to expand...

I've been wondering that too. I recognize I'll have to rebuild my stuff once I eventually move to the One, but I see no reason my current library in Horizon won't transfer over to the 360 version.
