Awesome

great scores too

That said, it's impressive to see a 9 year old console (and still going) performing as well as it does.

DeadRabbits4129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

Which gif was the xbone? Top or bottom? It does not say.

Gazondaily4129d ago

You can't tell a generational different but a slight difference in resolution means the world to you eh?

Nice try though ;)

Foehammer4129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

There you have it folks...

You'll never see Deadrabbits complain about differences in resolution since he freely admits he can't see the difference between 720p and 1080p

Just like when COD Ghosts came out, before the patch, journalist said it looked great at 1080p but it was 720p.

stiggs4129d ago

@DeadRabbits

Total failure.

NatureOfLogic_4129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

Lol, I also thought that the bottom gif was the 360 version at first. I had to look closer at the top one before I realized that it was the opposite. Both of those gifs can pass for last gen.

whoyouwit044129d ago

You have just exposed your self, and the rest of the brain washed Sony fan boys. You freely admitted that you can't see the different in res with the naked eye. I can't wait to see you try and lie when the next xbox one/PS4 res article comes out.

NewMonday4129d ago

the socking thing is that the difference between DriveClub and Forza Horizon 2 is bigger than the difference between FH2 on XB1/360

4Sh0w4129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

Well the draw distance and lighting were immediately noticeable between the two versions, the X1 version looks amazing as noted in every review, still glad the 360 versions looks good for a much older console its a good port.

user3672724129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

I don't know which type of troll is worst..the deadrabbit type with one bubble or the NewMonday ones with maxed 10 bubbles. I think I need two different ingredients for my repellent chemical to deal with this big of of discrepancy between two rapid fanboys with the same agenda. 😳

OT, it is like night and day..glad I went with thw xb1 version..it is literally like watching a vhs type after been exposed to bluray.

SuperBlur4129d ago

both gif and screenshot are so low res , i know the feeling

drones will be drones.

UltimateMaster4129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

They're both equally unimpressive.

Here's some other screenshots from other games:

(Guess which games thy are)

I'll say this, the gif for the Xbox One version does look nice, but the 360 version got severely downgraded to below PS2 standard.

MrPink20134129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

NewMonday,

"the socking thing is that the difference between DriveClub and Forza Horizon 2 is bigger than the difference between FH2 on XB1/360"

Ok? What does Driveclub have to do with this? Are you interetestd in getting Forza Horizon 2 on the XBox One or the XBox 360 or just came by to add your two bits about DriveClub?

I still don't get this type of behaviour. If DriveClub is what you are interested in why are you not sticking to topics about that game? It's not like you don't have ample opportunity to talk about Driveclub where it's relevant.

Forza Horizon 2 looks great on both and is getting great reviews on the XBox One.

TheOnlyMastrx4129d ago

I couldn't tell at first either. The pictures make the Xbox One version look way better, but the gif they look pretty on par, some minor differences, but both look great.

user56695104129d ago

how does this dude have 9 bubz. it seems likeyou have to be a ps fanboy to have more than 3 bubz

DaGR8JIBRALTAR4129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

Man it really seems like the 360 game was heavily gimped to make the xbone version stand out more.

Azzanation4129d ago

Guess you cant tell the difference between TLOU on PS3 and PS4.

4me24129d ago

How anybody can be exposed or accused for not seeing resolution difference when GIFs are it self 550x309 and JPGs are 798x447?????

You could guess which one is XBO by looking at environments and lighting.

StormLegend4129d ago

IDk why DEADRABBITS IS getting downvotes both gifs do look similar.

bouzebbal4129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

i don't know which gif belongs to which cause they look very similar. pictures show power gap but gif doesn't.
both look good!

zeuanimals4129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

You realize none of those images are even 720p, let alone 1080p, right? The games might be, but those images are compressed as hell and have been cropped to sub-HD resolutions.

Still, it's easy to tell the differences even when they're not being represented correctly. The X1 version has better lighting, textures, geometry, shadows, higher polycount cars, etc.

XBLSkull4129d ago

NewMonday is correct

"the socking thing is that the difference between DriveClub and Forza Horizon 2 is bigger than the difference between FH2 on XB1/360"

DriveClub is struggling to look as good as 360 FH2.

Bdub20004128d ago

Guess you'll have to wait for the PS4 version...

"oh but I don't want it on PS4!" Same old cut and paste fanboy argument.

FlameBaitGod4129d ago

I am a troll but I have to be honest here LOL, the pics where obvious on which was which but the gif's took me like 5 secs to realize which was which, finally knew which was X1 cus of the lighting.

Magicite4129d ago

not too much reason to upgrade from x360 to x1.

4129d ago
Bdub20004128d ago (Edited 4128d ago )

By that logic, there's no reason to upgrade to ps4 either.

3-4-54129d ago

I've been avoiding all gameplay videos of this because I don't want to spoil it.

Nice Screenshot comparison though.

NewMonday4129d ago

It's not like you will see a big plot twist.

the_dark_one4129d ago

@newMonday

Best comment ever!!!! xD
Funny Bubble for you

tgunzz4129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

As beautiful as fh2 is on xb1, what's even more impressive is the kick ass support that's still going to 360. Although they will wind that down, it should be noted, and applauded! Oh, and great job on the 360 version...

raymantalk14129d ago

looks good but driveclub looks way better roll on the disagrees hahahahahaha

Aussiebeachbabe4129d ago

One is open world the other is closed circuit. I would be shocked if driveclub didn't look better. Now go clean them sewers trolls.

raymantalk14128d ago

your an idiot DC is all real time they could make it open world if they wanted too and it would still look the same now you go clean them sewers troll

user3672724128d ago

@rayman

"Your an idiot"

Lmao..if 'you're' gonna slam someone ..please do it properly so you don't end up looking like an idiot.

aviator1894129d ago

That's actually quite a big difference, especially in regards to the lighting and the textures.

ABizzel14129d ago

Like the difference between console version vs PC last gen (360 vs PC).

Both version look good for their platforms, and hats off to Sumo for making the 360 version look as good as it does, they are probably one of the most underrated developers out there, and if any of the Big 3 were smart they'd be scooping these guys up.

They've made good games in nearly every genre (ports usually) for all consoles. There must be some agreement to share them, because I would be buying them up ASAP.

likeaboss3024129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

The Xbox 360 version does look good given the platform limitations.

GarrusVakarian4129d ago

The lighting, textures, and vegetation are vastly improved on the X1. That's a generational difference to me.

HammockGames4129d ago

Yeah, the X1 version is a looker. Very polished.

Still not bad on 360, though.

Mega244129d ago

Yep, It could be the one that makes me upgrade from my dead 360 (died a few weeks ago).

sinspirit4129d ago

But, once again, the comparison images/gifs are low-res shots that do no justice.

GarrusVakarian4128d ago

Yup, gaming sites seem to have a real problem these days getting high quality images and video to use in their comparisons. Gearnuke and Gamingbolt especially.

Manic20144129d ago

Big difference, 360 though still looks good.

Starbucks_Fan4129d ago

360 version looks surprisingly impressive.

But of course X1 version looks amazing.

Would love to see a PC port of this game Forza 3 and 4 are just gorgeous on XBOX but Jaw dropping on PC.

ilikestuff2299d ago (Edited 2299d ago )

I remember when gran turismo was the driving sim king, I miss those days, I played the crap out of gt1, took me forever to get enough credits to get that viper, gt2 brought those muscle cars! Gt3 was a banger, gt4 was the downfall in my opinion, it was like they half assed the game, I think at one point they scanned a model car and used the bottom of it for the bottom of a car on their game. They gave up the crown and dont seem to care. Man though, gt1,2, and 3 were great.

sizeofyou2299d ago

Seriously even comparing FH to GT? 🤔

sampsonon2299d ago

not like DC does. they were 10 yrs ahead of their time.
https://youtu.be/pBEip6goHb...

but FH2 was pretty good as well.

ilikestuff2299d ago

Awesome video, those weather effects are nuts. I know that game didn’t start off to good but they should’ve gave them one more chance before they got shit down. Loved motorstorm

sampsonon2299d ago

i made sure i bought it before they de listed it from the ps store. those graphics are still one of the best this gen. and the best when it comes to realism. it looks soo real sometimes.

ramiuk12299d ago

i was blown away by driveclub ,infact still am tbh...
the rain !!!!!!!!!

porkChop2299d ago

DriveClub had some really impressive weather effects. It's a shame they didn't get another shot.

spicelicka2299d ago

Graphically that's true DC is the best looking racing game ever, but the article isn't talking about graphics only. Game design and gameplay in FH2 was miles ahead and has consistently improved with each iteration.

sampsonon2299d ago

they are saying it still holds up. to me that's a graphical thing. but if they think the open world car games are is the thing that makes a racing game hold up then The Crew is the winner.

in 10 yrs you can show DC and people will still think it's one of the best looking games.

but i get your point.

xRacer74x2299d ago

Just think if DC did not have prerendered backgrounds and the narrowest roads of any game i had played in a long time and it felt like it was on rails. DC was subpar and it cost the studio their jobs.

sampsonon2299d ago (Edited 2299d ago )

first of all the studio was shut down because of the launch of the game and all the free dlc they had to give away because of it. not the game itself.
pre-rendered backgrounds? lol thanks i needed that laugh.

"Just think if DC did not have prerendered backgrounds and the narrowest roads of any game i had played in a long time and it felt like it was on rails."

that's called a racetrack dumb dumb :)

FH2 had some of the worst graphics in a racer so of course you could have an open world. too bad the crew did a better job than FH2 and still does when it comes to open world racing.

xRacer74x2299d ago (Edited 2299d ago )

@sampsonon Except Genius(Intended Irony) not all the tracks were race tracks. And No feeling like the game is on rails does not mean its a race track either. DC was a subpar racing game. I really enjoyed the invisible barriers when you drove on the burm too. Forza was such a better game but that does not need to be said its why the studio is still making games and the other was FIRED. I get it though its not like on the PS4 their is a great arcade first party racing game. So you do not know any better.

sampsonon2299d ago (Edited 2299d ago )

@xRacer74x they were race tracks, just not off road tracks.
sub par my ass. Like i said sony only disbanded the company because of the bad launch. they also have GT so they could afford to close the company.

FH2 looked like shit and still does compared to the superior graphocs of DC. even 3 looks shit compared to DC.
One game was using tracks and the other was an open world. one looked way better and the other one allowed you to "REWIND" HAHA! when you race = garbage.

Forza Horizon is a fun game, don't get me wrong. but it was lacking in so many places compared to DC.
https://youtu.be/aa6qZ2pny6...

spicelicka2299d ago

I don't think simply being open world makes a game hold up, there were plenty of things FH2 did so well. IMO it did many things better than the Crew, which is why it's rated so much higher as well. Better graphics than the crew, the multiplayer was amazing with FM drivatar tech, and the handling of car just feels better than any arcade racer given the variety. The soundtrack is still my favourite.

Imortus_san2299d ago

LMAO, all the people that add no internet sucked balls since the phisical edition did not had those effects.

Forza Horizon 2 metacritic = 86 user 83
https://www.metacritic.com/...

Drive Club metacritic = 71 user = 63
https://www.metacritic.com/...

There is no real comparation, Drive CLub floped and the company went down while Forza Horizon 2 triumphed.

* I've still yet to beat the game and haven't bought FH3 or FH4 because I still have stuff to do in FH2....I just haven't played in a while. It's an awesome game and yes it still is just as good now as when it originally released.

Pay much more for playing a bit earlier – this new emerging trend is alarming

As different as they are, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Forza Horizon, FIFA 19, and the new Tomb Raider have something in common. You could play all of them earlier than others. But there was a catch – you had to pay extra. And this practice doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.

Meanwhile selling Switch at MSRP price is considered an amazing offer. PATHETIC.

CDbiggen2641d ago

What's that got to do with this article?

Segata2642d ago

Is this how they trick people into paying $80 Us Dollars for games next gen? Then I will get every game used.

princejb1342642d ago

if games cost $80 next gen i will problably quit console gaming

Sokol2642d ago

Games have been priced at 79.99$ in Canada for almost six years now.

It won't change anything.. Sadly.

princejb1342642d ago

@sokol sorry to hear that its been $60.00 in the US. If it goes up in the US it will probably go up in canada also

sawoosevens2641d ago (Edited 2641d ago )

With their current practices bringing up prices is not practical unless they remove MT and get back to making awesome games like the old days I'm still at a complete loss as to how our technologies has come so far and our games have become hot pieces of garbage of course some games are exceptions. Only games I feel okay with $ 80 towards are all made by Sony and that's me thanking them for providing me with the true gaming experience from when I was young when games we're actually fun.

sawoosevens2642d ago (Edited 2642d ago )

If they remove MT and actually make games fun again like they used to I'll gladly pay $ 80 for game hell I already do that for Sony's games.

Jinger2642d ago

As long as the early access is just an additional feature of the edition that comes with the season pass and all that then I'm fine with it. But I'm not going to pay extra JUST for early access.

AK912642d ago

Don’t buy it, speak with your wallets not your words.
