Forza Horizon 2 is racing our way in 2014!
Announced today with a planned fall of 2014 debut, Forza Horizon 2 will doubtlessly try to live up to that type of escapism when it debuts on both the Xbox One and Xbox 360, but while some might have worried that the 360 version could slow down the majesty of this open world racer, those fears are without merit. Forza Horizon 2will be developed together and apart, with Sumo Digital handling the 360 version and Playground Games handling the Xbox One version.
According to IGN, the two houses will share “a technology pipeline as well as select key personnel”, Forza Horizon 2will be set in southern Europe (just like all of my fanfic), it will be based at a music festival and it will feature “hundreds” of vehicles, though I am sure that none will be as fine as the 1995 white and maroon Ford Explorer that I used to roll with. AmIright? I am right.
There will also be a weather system in place as well, which should add to the game’s realism while challenging players as they try to navigate through rainstorms, snowstorms and the plague that is fall foliage/hay fever season.
All of this sounds pretty dynamic, but of course, we can’t fully surrender our hearts until we get our hands on it or at least start to see a bit of gameplay footage, so keep an eye out here for more coverage as it comes available.
In the series premiere of Mad Men, Don Draper gives a group of tobacco purveyors a bit of insight into what happiness is.
“Happiness is the smell of a new car. It’s freedom from fear. It’s a billboard on the side of the road that screams with reassurance that whatever you’re doing… it’s okay.”
If you want to feel happiness and if you want to feel reassured about the price that you laid out for a brand new Xbox One or PlayStation 4, you need what Draper wanted later in that same series: you need a car, or rather, a racing game.
Nothing screams “FANCY AND PRETTY” like the shine of a pixelated sports car while it comes over a hill, the sunlight capturing it ever so perfectly, the experience speaking to this guttural desire that we have to go fast, drive recklessly, and have it all. Nothing, save for me when I scream those words at passersby whenever I get all gussied up.
