I never got the chance to play horizon 1, I wonder how it's like
It's amazing. If you get FH2 on the XB360 you'll easily be able to see the differences between the XB360 version and the XBOne version. Not to mention FH1 beating FH2 on XB360.
FH2 on XB360 feels like a highly scaled down port of the game, whereas FH1 actually feel like a game made for that console. FH1 just looks better to me, the sunsets are far more dramatic.
However the roads are way more bumpy than in FH2 (on either version). Which makes driving high horsepower cars quite a challenge (like my 996 horsepower centrifugal supercharged Gen V Viper). AWD cars that don't understeer to bad do really well around the map. The map is fairly small but because there are so many trees and small back roads it makes the map feel bigger than it is.
Anyway, I still don't understand why they haven't added the new ACR into the game yet. I mean geeze they were able to get the Centenario in the game for crying out loud.......
