2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT
2013 Renault Clio RS 200
1988 Volkswagen Scirocco 16v
1957 Maserati 300 S
1988 BMW M5

Not a bad selection of cars, and I knew it wouldn't be long for the F-Type to make it into the game. I'm also really looking forward to the Maserati. I don't care if it's been in the game before. A brand new remodel for the XB1 is going to make it look spectacular.
 
YUS!!!! F-Type!!

LOOK AT IT!!! I know that everyone knows what the F-Type looks like, but you can never have enough F-Type.
 
Question for you guys. Not sure if its the Sim player in me but almost every stream of H2, drive club etc is using chase cam, it drives me nuts, is there a reason for this view that I don't understand, doe you guys use that view in any games?

Just curious.
 
I would imagine most people (myself included) choose to use it as you see the car.

In a game with as much visual customisation as this, why not use the view that actually shows your car.

Otherwise there's no point modifying the appearance lol. Not trying to sound rude just giving my opinion on the matter.
 
I think it's just perception. Bumper view can be 'faster' as you get a better view of the road/surface.

But in a simcade-arcade game like this, I don't mind having the odd bump lol

I use chase cam almost exclusively. I like not only being able to see the car, but to see the other cars around it, too. My roommate loves the cockpit view. He never uses anything else. I will occasionally switch to cockpit view just for the novelty, and hood cam when I have limited view, like driving through a forest. But yeah, far chase cam for me about 95% of the time.
 
That first DLC though! Really looking forward to the 88' M5, 88 Scirocco and the F-Type (of course, just look at it!) Hopefully Playground get a good first response to this dlc, and promptly follow suit with future car packs, in giving us predominantly new cars to the franchise (3-4 per pack) and then cars like the Maserati 300S that have yet to make it to the Xbone. And free cars of course, especially the cars from the 360 version of H2! (And the Peugeot 205 T16. I mean you have the RS200, 037, Audi Quattro but you can't have the 205 T16 which has been remodeled for F5? Playground pls :D)

Holy crap that F-Type promo image looks real.

6 cars for $5, and only half of them are carryovers from FM5. Not bad, hopefully the rest of the packs have this much new metal too.

None of these were in fm5, and 4/5 have never been seen before, so it's even better than not bad :drool: :lol:
 
@Oso Actual -- As someone who drives exclusively from cockpit view in other games, for FH1 and FH2 I use chase cam most of the time. The handling and camera movement are a pretty good match for each other (not always the case), and it's helpful to watch cars on your tail, but most important of all, the taller vantage point makes it easier to watch for traffic and blind turns as you zoom along undulating roads at 150mph.
 
Not a bad car pack at all :)

Spent a bit more time on FH2 last night (Still switching between that and F5)

Managed to Find the Renault Alpine in it's barn

The Airport in the place you go to after Nice (Sorry suck at names) is rediculous fun, Spent loads of time just using the jumps there ;D
 
OK, now that I see some reasoning on preferred view, I can understand a bit better.

Looking forward to dling this car pack, even though I still have 75% of the original cars to grab!
