Totally love roaming. IT's pretty much all i do in open world games.

Me too, love open world racing games. I thought FH1 was a fairly large map, but it's got nothing on FH2!

 

Eh... I meant 94.

Haha damn!

Anyone using a racing wheel to play this game?  What would be a good choice at a reasonable price?

 

Nor using one since I don't have one for the one. However wheels greatly make you instantly better at forza games, but you need to race with hood view(or inside view, but I find them generally idiotic since some cars only give you 10% of the screen as a view then, which is not how it would be if you where actually in the car, unless you happen to be in front of a 150 inch 1:1 scale screen).

Turn10 gifted me a Veneno... I already have one :(

 

Also anyone missing a club invite drop a message to HawkMan79 I could also give co-lead to a few more active players who wants.

Got the Veneno gift also. I have been using the C63 Black tuned to the max, and it is a damn quick car. Driving other cars just feel slow

The Veneno isn't the quickest car, but damn does it stick to the road, probably because it's factory body comes with front and rear spilers superior that those of the forza ones. In fact the other lambo is technically quicker. but...

I'm normally more of a track racing kinda guy but bought this a week or so ago, having a lot of fun so far! It seems a bit odd that you have to drive all the way back to the festival site garage to change cars, am I missing something?

 

You can do that or teleport for faster way.

 

Or you can follow whatever is on the screen to tell you..  such as go to the next race or go to the club, etc.

Thanks for adding me to the club (I'm squirt185). I've got a question about the club rankings - it says something like you have to challenge other club members to become ranked, does that mean in live online 1v1 races or does it relate to something like XP earned online for the club per week? If it's the former, do you actually have to add everyone as a xbox live friend or can you challenge via the club page?

Is it just me, or are those races against trains and plane un-loseable? I was racing the cargo plane (if you can call it racing :p) and it seemed at times as though the plane was just floating and waiting for me to catch up. Still won the race...

I think that is true. I think it will slow down to keep the time relatively close.

I really messed up the balloon race and still managed to win by a few tenths.

 

You get some good photo ops when it is that close at the end.

Perhaps your difficulty is just set way too low :)

This Forza Horizon 2 Storm Island Trailer Is Like Cocaine In Your Coffee
 

 

The detail on this incredible lineup of trucks and rally cars, the dramatic terrain and strikingly rendered weather... Holy cr*p, this jaw-dropping Forza Horizon 2 Storm Island trailer makes me want to rip my shirt off and take a race-prepped Ford Ranger off a jump. Which I could do if I got this game.

 

Forza proved they were committed to the off-road element of racing with some great vehicles and dirt courses in the initial Horizon 2 release, but this Storm Island expansion looks like it's taking the off-tarmac action to a whole 'nother level.

Here's a gameplay clip of what they call "Rampage Mode," with commentary from the developers who made it happen:

 

 

And here's what the game's Creative Director Ralph Fulton calls "one of the most extreme races that we've ever had in the Forza franchise before:"

 



The Storm Island expansion pack will be available on XBox One has downloadable content starting December 16th, 2014.

Some of my favourite events were the off road events so I'm looking forward to this. 

 

Can't wait to power slide these beasts around some corners ;)

 

I "enjoy" them, but honestly I could do without them and kinda wish the game didn't have so much of them and didn't mix offroad into everything you do. I buy and play it as a exotic car driving game, not to be forced to go offroad in road cars all the time. if I wanted off road I'd buy dirt or something.

I agree. The other thing that irks me is if you have damage on and then do a cross country, the car ends up knackered really quick, so when I first got the game I turned damage off and kept it off there's too many off road events to keep switching it on and off. I enjoy having damage on as it's (mildly) realistic and you get a XP bonus. I say mildly realistic as a tiny shunt into a car going the same direction, with a perhaps 5-7MPH difference causes annoyingly unrealistically massive damage to your body, drivetrain, steering and suspension!

 

Have they patched the damage thing on cross country where they damage too fast, or was it intentional?

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
