Gun Xbox vs. Xbox 360 is a hoot yo

LOVEUMOARHEN! Just to clarify, OG Horizon is track based and looks lovely. FH2 is open world and suffers by comparison. Still a great game, but not the one I revere with all my being.

I've not seen fh2 on 360 - is it a crime?

I'm probably missing out but I don't play games as a whole enough to do online anymore.

Another reason why the bite size races in Forza are great and the long winded missions in RDR2 are a problem for me.

That said - can anyone explain who the bone deals with stand by in games? Wednesday I played Arkham City and turned off the Bone (it's always plugged in for speedy start up) I turned on the Bone last night, watched a bit of Parks and Rec and then went to play Arkham city and it was exactly where I had left it (which is great) but this hasn't been the case before. Is it game dependant or a setting? Because its very handy and something I'm not used to in modern consoles.

It should work all the time, but if you launch a different app in between pausing your game and launching it again then it will have closed properly.

I only played one. It’s open world the ‘circuits’ are formed from parts of the open world

I think your think of regular forza

Bob

Literally the opening words on wiki are forza horizon is an open world racing game

bad_hair_day

So it’s an open world inasmuch you have to stick to the track. Forza Horizon 2 you can go pretty much anywhere you like, hence a much harder game to render. Have a fucking day off Bob.

Bob

I’m
Not sure what rendering has to do with open world but hey just admit when your wrong and I won’t have to have a day off

Hair has already mentioned 2 is [proper] open world and harder to render hence looks shit on 360 compared to on Bone.

bad_hair_day

Elf gets it but then again he’s played Forza Horizon 2.

Apologies for lashing out Bob, currently in a foul mood and easily riled.

The 360 is Davy's most bleeding edge console afaik, I'm sure it'll look nice enough. Racing games have progressed the least in terms of visuals in recent years imo - obviously Forza Motorsport 6 looks far better than Project Gotham 4, but the prettier last gen racers still look pretty neat to me.

There’s generally more love for Playground’s OG Forza Horizon than Sumo’s port of Horizon 2 even tho it’s a later game because it looks and plays better.

Two Margaritas down an feeling fiiiine. Off to play some games. X

It’s as open as a window you can’t climb through because the gap is too small.

Ah, ok. Probably not much use then as my daughter is bound to use Netflix or youtube between gaming. Still, handy feature.

That's it - 360 is my latest. To be honest I'll think it's gorgeous as I am really easily pleased with respect to graphics. Sega Rally on 360 looks good enough for me.

I suppose it can be hard to look back once you jump but quite often I still like the older look - as long as a game doesn't use graphics as its main feature one can always go back.

Anyhow - my game of the decade? Probably Trials HD - that was 2009.

That’s one thing the PS4 handles pretty well; it can support one game being suspended while you use video apps etc. It’ll only close the game down if you want to play another.

That's much better. God damn it MS, got on it.
