Why has there been no footage of the 360 version?

I'm expecting Forza Horizon quality graphics with a new map.

Probably because there could be too many false assumptions when seeing that footage and people thinking they're looking at Xbox One footage. There's already enough people saying Forza 5 looks no better than FM4.
 
Just got the One yesterday! Bring on the 30th. Now I'm wondering if I should spend $50 on a digital download of FM5 while I wait :boggled:

Should have shopped around, there are plenty of places that offer the game free with a purchase of the One. Thats how I got mine from Gamestop.

I actually got it at Gamestop, but they didn't have FM5 as one of the free games. Got Watch Dogs as the free game.

Forza 5 is now $30 for gold members.

Is it? I am a Gold member and when I checked it says $49 in the store.

So, your first car is a choice of three:
-bmw z4
-'69 camaro
-supra rz



Edit: seriously hoping that 6 speed on the camaro isn't stock

@7:00 Is that Darius?. It looks like him. Maybe since this is in Italy, good ol' M. Rossi will look in on the festival. :lol:
 
I wonder if cars stay dirty all the time, like when you go offroad and back on the road again.
Cause it's fun to drive an old Ferrari with mud all over it.
My bet is they get cleaned once you enter a new event.
 
It may have already been posted & I missed it, but I saw a picture of the Enzo this morning in game. And holy wow, they nailed the lighting on the shot; had to do a double take bc I thought for sure it was real.

Doesn't look like Darius to me. But I'd be surprised if he shows up to take back his title :)

Thought it was Darius as well but I'm not too excited by the fact that Player One's driver character in the game seems to superficially resemble Simon Cowell. :(
 
The Videogamer TV video just looked like the same B-roll footage that was recently distributed with some of the shots repeated a couple of times to pad it out whle a woefully uninformed commentator talks about how DriveClub is going to be much better. :D

I wanted to jump in a correct them about stuff so many times, mostly about the pronunciation of "Forza." It's Forza with a "z", not "Fortsa." In Italian, one "z" means "z", two "z"s means "ts" like in pizza. And when one of them asked why Forza was doing Horizon at all while they have Motorsports, since they're two different types of games, I had to shake my head. It's like saying "Chevy already has the Corvette. Why do they need the Camaro?" Because they're appealing to two different customers, of course, broadening their fanbase.

I work with an Italian guy from Milan and when the World Cup is on he is often heard to shout "FORZA ITALIA!!" at the screen. When he says it it sounds like Ford-sa to me.

I wanted to correct them about other stuff like Drivatars improving with time and not just being AI with a fancy nametag. Most of their questions could've been answered by listening to anyone of the half dozen or so interviews Ralph Fulton did to promote the game.

It's ok, when Driveclub bores everyone to death after a fortnight, this will keep us lot happy.

Really can't see the hype for that game. Sure it looks amazing, but it's format is just far too linear. Sadly it's getting all the attention and this is kinda under the radar.

I don't agree, from what I see they're both getting a lot of attention, it's just Driveclub is getting a little more.

I quite liked when he criticised it for feeling like the original Horizon, and saying that if you've played the first one, you'll know pretty much what to expect...

Well duh. It's a sequel, of course it's going to feel like the first one. It just needs to improve on the first one, which it seems to have.

Fortnight schmortnight, I will never get bored of those trees. :lol:

The fact that that Videogames TV's feller kept talking about how much more next-gen the Evolution game looks suggests a prioritisation of graphics over gameplay on his part. EK Drifter's commentary was far more enthusiastic and informed and at least he credited the footage he used to the right people.

A lot of comments online are also stacking FH2 up against The Crew. Unfortunately the developers behind Ivory Tower weren't as well known as Playground's for their driving mechanics when those developers were part of Eden Games. I can't blame Ubisoft for wanting a piece of the driving pie though and more driving games means more choice for everyone and also keeps the competition on their toes.

Meanwhile back on topic those dry stone walls in the Horizon 2 footage and the sparkly water under the bridge are gonna provide awesome photographic opportunities for those interested. And that's just within the first ten minutes :drool:

The complaints about it feeling the same are stupid. So what? The first one was great
 
I'm expecting a lot of videos comparing the 360 and the one version when the game comes out.
