Forza Horizon 2 is quite beautiful

With everyone going absolutely bonkers over the launch of Destiny, it’s easy to forget that there are actually still a ton of games coming out over the next few weeks. Some are further than others, but most of them are less than a month away. Take Forza Horizon 2 for example. It’s looking like one of the most stunning games to launch on the Xbox One yet, and it’s out in really, really soon.

Which is why the game now has a launch trailer, although it’s still a good three weeks away from hitting shelves. I’ll leave the premature release jokes at the door, but only because I can’t get over how gorgeous Horizon 2 is looking. Well, how good it looks on the Xbox One at least.

Forza Horizon was a surprisingly awesome arcade racer, one that broke away from the name’s simulation racing roots. The same studio is behind this year’s sequel, so there’s little doubt in my mind that it’ll be any worse than one the Xbox 360’s top racing titles.

We won’t have to wait long after the local Xbox One launch to hit the streets wither, with Forza Horizon 2 launching on Xbox One and Xbox 360 on October 3rd. There’s also a demo exclusively for Xbox One on September 16th.

        The opposite. All driving games like FORZA 2,3,4,5 GT4,5 make it a required standard.
        Playing FORZA after F1 2012, is like night and day.

            Now that’s what I call bravery. Though the Emperor can never really be trusted. You know, because…http://theymightbegazebos.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/aliens.png

            There’s only one emperor, and I’m perfectly trustworthy as long as you’re on my side.

          Are you implying that next-gen has taken a step backwards? 😛

      Forza only runs at 60fps on new or old gen. What you on about?

        This game is 30fps because they are going for 1080p.

          No. It’s 1080p/60fps with weather effects. You are confusing Forza Horizon 2 with DriveDub 😉

            “The Xbox One version of Microsoft’s upcoming racing game Forza Horizon 2 will run in 1080p at 30fps, creative director at Ryan Fulton has confirmed. 2012’s original Forza Horizon for Xbox 360 ran at a locked 30fps, and Fulton says it was imperative that the studio carried this forward for the sequel”

            Sorry dude

            Calling good games like Driveclub childish fanboy names while being wrong about Forza Horizon 2 framerate. Good job.

            I still don’t see this as an issue. I own and play Forza Horizon, there’s *nothing* game-breaking about 30fps.

    Man I wish they had just made RaceRoom a decent game and not this free to play, micro-transaction infested heap of kak. It actually quite good. Sounds amazing, looks nice, handles well.
    But I can’t spend the price of a game for a track and one car.
