I'm very curious about the differences, the X1 version had better blow away the 360 version in all aspects... That's all I got to say or MS is shooting themselves in the foot with the decision to make this a 360 game as well. Sure the 360 base is huge, I understand but the X1 will look even worse to those of us thinking about buying an X1 with FH2 in mind.

360 version is being developed by the developers of Dirt 2 on Wii and PSP.

Yeah.

@SecretPolice: I know it isn't as good as seeing them both in motion, but here's and article that outlines the differences for you:

http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/fh2_x360

TLDR on the 360 version you get no weather, different car list, lower resolution, less players online, no Drivatars, no always online feature.

EDIT: also I'm stuck at work today so if anyone is home and has a chance to play the demo I'd love to hear some impressions.

Yeah.

360 definitive version confirmed.

Ironically, it's also the same devs developing all of LBP3. Funny. Sumo Digital.

Regarding some differences, it's a smaller world, no weather effects, no Drivatars, less cars (but still 200), and ofcourse, 720p

@Chutebox: Yeah that's the excuse they are giving. I'm not convinced it is not possible on the 360, most likely it is a result of the 360 version using the Horizon 1 engine and the XB1 version using the FM5 engine. Probably just couldn't be implemented without a completely new engine.

@HadOne2Many:

Thanks for the info my friend, hey perhaps it's MS ploy to show just how inferior the 360 is to the X1 which tbh, would be a wise move IMHO.

@SecretPolice: You're welcome. I wish there was a 360 demo to so I could play them side by side and see the difference myself without having to rent/borrow the 360 version.

@draign: I just queued up the download through the smart glass app, so hopefully it will have already downloaded by the time I get home tonight.

They threw me a curveball. I was prepared to start of with a Supra but they made me choose between a Lancer, an audi, and a Bowler SUV. I went with the Lancer, and thinking I should have went with the Bowler for all of the off-roading you do early on. The Lancer is sweet though.

Sumo Digital have a lot of experience with porting and making racing games. They are the devs behind sonic all stars racing transformed, and have also worked on many Outrun ports on consoles. So I wouldn't expect a bad version of Horizon 2 from them.
