Jepp, das ist eine gute Nachricht - schon wieder mal von MS

BEST RACING GAME
Forza faced some stiff competition from other racing games like DriveClub and The Crew this year, but still managed to come in at the front of the pack. Playground Games is taking the open-world series from Colorado to southern Europe, offering players three times the amount of land to race across. The new dynamic weather accentuates the beautiful locales, and with over 700 race events, 200 cars, and no more microtransactions, Forza Horizon 2 looks to give racing fans the complete package right out of the gate.

BEST RACER
Despite the huge name behind it, Forza Horizon was perhaps one of Xbox 360's lesser known first-party games, so it's great to see an expanded sequel on next-gen hardware, one that combines Forza Motorsport 5's jaw-dropping visuals and 'Drivatars' - allowing friends to asynchronously appear in other people's games without being online - with the fun, free-roam driving the original was celebrated for.

BEST XBIOX ONE GAME
Don’t let the larger world size, arcade-like handling and new “Bucket List” gameplay fool you. Forza Horizon 2, the latest in the Forza series, is very much a Forza game — both visually and mechanically. The dynamic weather, engaging challenge-based progression system and massive region only strengthen the superb foundation lovingly crafted by Turn 10 Studios. It’s the racing game to beat all racing games, attacking its once weakest links by improving on the finest of details, expanding on its most beloved concepts and boasting something that many racing games lose in the process to perfection: fun. With online “Car Meets” that blend bragging and friendship seamlessly, and a launch that promises no micro-transactions, Forza Horizon 2 is set to race into your favorites list.

“That’s about the sky. That’s about the particles in it. That’s about the clouds. That’s about changing dynamic weather conditions: fog, mist, rain, wind. Combining all of those so that not only is the gameplay experience changing as you drive around the world – changing up the handling, changing up the visibility – it’s also changing the beauty of the world you’re seeing.”

“The way we’ve modelled it is that the atmosphere has a number that will drive up, and that number dictates how much moisture is in the atmosphere,” says art director Ben Penrose. “And as that number starts to climb, you’ll start to see different cloud layers build up.”

“We’ve got quite a lot of different systems,” says Roberts. “We’ve got fog and haze. We’ve got rain, clouds, we’ve got wind. We’ve even got rainbows.”

“I think that when you’re trying to achieve something that’s as photo real as possible it’s all down to the small details,” he says. “And quite often that is the case; it’s the fine details that maybe people won’t even know they’re there, but if it wasn’t there it would break the illusion.”

“I think the cool thing that I just never understood about this is when that rainbow appears – and you saw it [in the demo] – we didn’t place it there.”
“And I kept saying, can we move that rainbow? And people said, ‘No, because it’s being simulated; it’s about where the sun is in the sky, and the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. It’s just creating a rainbow.”
