Report: Xbox One, 360 versions of Forza Horizon 2 are 'different games

4.6

Forza Horizon 2 will offer players a different experience on the Xbox One and Xbox 360, Playground Games creative director Ralph Fulton confirmed with Digital Spy today.

"It's based in the same world, it's based on the same themes," Fulton said. "Rather than thinking of them as the same game on different platforms, they are different games inspired by the same ideas."

Microsoft previously announced that the Xbox 360 edition of Forza Horizon 2 is developed by Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing developer Sumo Digital, while the Xbox One version is backed by Playground Games, and is based on the Forza Motorsport 5 engine.

Fulton additionally revealed that the Xbox One version of Forza Horizon 2 will employ Forza 5's Drivatar system, and will boast platform-exclusive features like 1080p resolution and a new weather system.

It has to be a completely different game Xbox one struggles to run this game at 1080p...

The xbox one edition runs at 1080p at 30fps an this is a new console how the hell is forza future tiles or future games run on this console.

Kixa I rather get it for the xbox one then the 360 since it's "Different games" and mite not be good on the 360.

I feel it will be. They more than likely won't make HUGE changes and what not.

I'm hoping they put more effort into the Xbox One version. Also, I'm pretty sure they're kinda doing this with CoD: Advanced Warfare too. I believe only next gen is developed by Sledgehammer Games.

I don't know if I like this. Obviously if they are being developed by two different companies, they are going to have different graphics and just be different period. I don't think they should have the same name.

This was expected. Hopefully they focus more on the Xbox One version.
