I'll never forget the disappointment of buying this game at full price back when it released, and then looking at the Xbox One version and realizing all the features that I missed out on. Microsoft really wanted me to buy an Xbox One.
I remember there was a glitch in this game where if you used your first ever fast travel but didnt have enough money for it, instead of giving you a "insufficient funds" message it would instead give you $999,999,999 credits. It seemed awesome at first but you quickly realize that having infinite money just ruins the game, and within a few days I stopped playing and never touched the game again
That awkward feeling, when every "negative" thing about a game is something you never encountered when you played it...
The atmosphere for the Horizon Festival in this version feels like when everyone is about to pack up and leave...
Makes me wonder how test drive unlimited 2 got ported the Xbox 360, that game had 2 SIGNIFICANTLY larger maps than fh2, had a full weather system, had dense forestry and city areas, and most of it could be driven in.
I didn't have a xbox one at the time, so I ended up having a lot of experience with the 360 version. I remember very well how weird it was to drive in certain areas, but above all, I remember how broken races with SUV's were. The Ai had no idea how to handle them, so every time there was a corner, all of them would flip the car. It was a very easy and weird way to win races. Also, this game is the only one I can remember having a money glitch that gives you the max ammount of money that for some reason, never got patched
I think Sumo were dealt a shitty hand with this game. I suspect Microsoft realised the Xbox One wasn’t doing as well as they hoped and realised they could kinda make Horizon 2 work … I just think they realised at the 11th hour and gave Sumo the bare minimum time, budget and assets to get it done. The game obviously uses FH1 as a base, and as you said, some parts look fleshed out and decent, but the rest was slapped together at the last possible second. The F&F expansion actually has drivable docks, which is why I definitely think they wanted to do more, but just couldn’t.
Forza Horizon 2 at home 💀
This game really makes you FEEL like undercover
This game was my first exposure to Horizon series and to be honest... It was really fun for me. I noticed the problems wirh progression even back then, but the soundtrack and overall vibe of european summer festival really spoke to me. To this date, I think that radio stations from this game are the very best in the series, and I listen to it pretty much daily.
I remember there being a rather unkown glitch to my knowledge where if you had fast travel anywhere and attempted to fast travel with less money than the required momey, the game apparently wasn't able to process that and would fast travel you, along with resetting your total CR to 999,999,999
I remember playing this on my 360 back in the day and I absolutely loved it, it was also the most beautiful game I’d have ever seen back then. So many memories
I played this back in the day and can confirm, this video is 100% accurate
I actually want to play this just to see its problems myself. It would probably end up being quite fun, but broken as all hell...
I remember i grinded for a laferrai in this version of the game and when i finally got it i could not even get top 3 in races due to the fact that the ai would rubberband relentlessly. It was the most unbalanced racing i have ever seen.
as someone who owned both versions of the game, this version still holds a spot in my heart for those difficult days of coming home from school, not feeling too well, booting up the 360, and just free roaming (what was left of) the map to ease the mind. sold my 360 ages ago to fund my xbox one, so i can’t compare the gameplay now on my series s, but even after so long i remember how glitchy the map was on the 360 version lmao. made for fun times watching everyone 2 wheel and seeing if the AI would be able to recover. seeing it happen here was very nostalgic, but nowhere near as nostalgic as the Forza 4 music in your outro… lord do i miss that game with all my heart
I've got my mom to buy me the game as my birthday gift as a kid, played it a LOT, then after some time I went on RUclips to watch other people playing and I saw all the things that their game had, bunch of extra features (including tuning), weather, game modes, a proper Fast and Furious DLC, and less bugs and oh boy it sucked
I remember there being a glitch in the game, if you deleted “Forza Horizon Update” from your storage and went on launch day and used the teleport anywhere function the game glitched and gave you unlimited money. That was fun
I had a friend who still had a 360, and also had this game for that console. We both had the thrustmaster Ferrari 458 wheels for our respective consoles (I had an XB1), so I could have a similar medium to try both versions of the game. I'm surprised you didn't say anything about it, but one of the things that they took out, that shocked me the most, is that there is NO OPTION to TUNE the car. Like, gearing, tire pressures, suspension, NOTHING. That page of the game was unceremoniously ripped out from underneath it. If it wasn't already bad enough, here's something else...enjoy whatever setup the game gives you. Because you don't get any other options. Piece of crap...
I absolutely cannot believe that Sumo Digital were responsible for this port's bad quality, two years earlier they released Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, which is a fantastic Kart Racer. There had to be a limited budget and way too little time to get this thing done.
