Horizon 2 has much higher reflection resolutions but I would also say that Forza 6 looks less exaggerated. And it looks smoother. Forza 6 also does more with puddles. Overall the game looks the same.

The water looks more realistic in f6. Especially the way it beads off the windshield, windows and wipers. The diffusion in the reflections particularly to light sources are also better. As are the atmospherics and tire spray coming off of the cars. Horizons love is good but f6 looks and behaves way more realistically. It's also more dense

u4one3520d ago

of course i say this from actually owning and playing both games vs this video which honestly could have been done better with in cockpit views.

annoyedgamer3520d ago

If I remember correctly FH2 runs at 30 FPS and FM6 runs at 60 FPS that may be why it looks smoother.

Gazondaily3520d ago

Both games look amazing. Played Horizon 2 and still in awe at the visuals of the environment you roll across. And the wet weather is amazing.

KingKionic 3520d ago

Forza 6 by far. Complete different look and intensity while racing. Not even the same ball game. Even the windshield effects and fog effects and back spray in frrza 6 are superior

ChunkyHD3520d ago (Edited 3520d ago )

Considering Forza Horizon 2 is open world, Forza 6 graphics should be better even if it came out the same time or before FH2.

Revolt133520d ago

But its also 60fps where as FH2 is only 30fps.

Both are great tho :)

ChunkyHD3520d ago

True, forgot about that.

FlexLuger3520d ago

@Revolt13

Indeed. Glad I own both as ultimate digital editions. I play em side by side all the time :)

u4one3520d ago (Edited 3520d ago )

And f6 is also running way more physics calculations.

Top 10 Rarest Cars in Forza History

KeenGamer: "See the top 10 rarest cars to ever appear in Forza history! Thousands of cars have been featured in Forza since launch and only a handful of them have been really difficult to obtain or, in current state, impossible to drive around with. Although they were once obtainable, it's only for a limited time and, most times, for a certain price."

I thought this was going to be about the rarest and most valuable cars in the game, based on real life manufacture numbers and value.

Would love to see a PC port of this game Forza 3 and 4 are just gorgeous on XBOX but Jaw dropping on PC.

ilikestuff2041d ago (Edited 2041d ago )

I remember when gran turismo was the driving sim king, I miss those days, I played the crap out of gt1, took me forever to get enough credits to get that viper, gt2 brought those muscle cars! Gt3 was a banger, gt4 was the downfall in my opinion, it was like they half assed the game, I think at one point they scanned a model car and used the bottom of it for the bottom of a car on their game. They gave up the crown and dont seem to care. Man though, gt1,2, and 3 were great.

sizeofyou2041d ago

Seriously even comparing FH to GT? 🤔

sampsonon2041d ago

not like DC does. they were 10 yrs ahead of their time.
https://youtu.be/pBEip6goHb...

but FH2 was pretty good as well.

ilikestuff2041d ago

Awesome video, those weather effects are nuts. I know that game didn’t start off to good but they should’ve gave them one more chance before they got shit down. Loved motorstorm

sampsonon2041d ago

i made sure i bought it before they de listed it from the ps store. those graphics are still one of the best this gen. and the best when it comes to realism. it looks soo real sometimes.

ramiuk12041d ago

i was blown away by driveclub ,infact still am tbh...
the rain !!!!!!!!!

porkChop2041d ago

DriveClub had some really impressive weather effects. It's a shame they didn't get another shot.

spicelicka2041d ago

Graphically that's true DC is the best looking racing game ever, but the article isn't talking about graphics only. Game design and gameplay in FH2 was miles ahead and has consistently improved with each iteration.

sampsonon2041d ago

they are saying it still holds up. to me that's a graphical thing. but if they think the open world car games are is the thing that makes a racing game hold up then The Crew is the winner.

in 10 yrs you can show DC and people will still think it's one of the best looking games.

but i get your point.

xRacer74x2041d ago

Just think if DC did not have prerendered backgrounds and the narrowest roads of any game i had played in a long time and it felt like it was on rails. DC was subpar and it cost the studio their jobs.

sampsonon2041d ago (Edited 2041d ago )

first of all the studio was shut down because of the launch of the game and all the free dlc they had to give away because of it. not the game itself.
pre-rendered backgrounds? lol thanks i needed that laugh.

"Just think if DC did not have prerendered backgrounds and the narrowest roads of any game i had played in a long time and it felt like it was on rails."

that's called a racetrack dumb dumb :)

FH2 had some of the worst graphics in a racer so of course you could have an open world. too bad the crew did a better job than FH2 and still does when it comes to open world racing.

xRacer74x2041d ago (Edited 2041d ago )

@sampsonon Except Genius(Intended Irony) not all the tracks were race tracks. And No feeling like the game is on rails does not mean its a race track either. DC was a subpar racing game. I really enjoyed the invisible barriers when you drove on the burm too. Forza was such a better game but that does not need to be said its why the studio is still making games and the other was FIRED. I get it though its not like on the PS4 their is a great arcade first party racing game. So you do not know any better.

sampsonon2041d ago (Edited 2041d ago )

@xRacer74x they were race tracks, just not off road tracks.
sub par my ass. Like i said sony only disbanded the company because of the bad launch. they also have GT so they could afford to close the company.

FH2 looked like shit and still does compared to the superior graphocs of DC. even 3 looks shit compared to DC.
One game was using tracks and the other was an open world. one looked way better and the other one allowed you to "REWIND" HAHA! when you race = garbage.

Forza Horizon is a fun game, don't get me wrong. but it was lacking in so many places compared to DC.

spicelicka2041d ago

I don't think simply being open world makes a game hold up, there were plenty of things FH2 did so well. IMO it did many things better than the Crew, which is why it's rated so much higher as well. Better graphics than the crew, the multiplayer was amazing with FM drivatar tech, and the handling of car just feels better than any arcade racer given the variety. The soundtrack is still my favourite.

Imortus_san2041d ago

LMAO, all the people that add no internet sucked balls since the phisical edition did not had those effects.

Forza Horizon 2 metacritic = 86 user 83

Drive Club metacritic = 71 user = 63

There is no real comparation, Drive CLub floped and the company went down while Forza Horizon 2 triumphed.

* I've still yet to beat the game and haven't bought FH3 or FH4 because I still have stuff to do in FH2....I just haven't played in a while. It's an awesome game and yes it still is just as good now as when it originally released.
