Mother of God. Hoping for more than just rain, but that looks great. I love Horizon 2 and can't wait for more content.

As impressive as that looks, DC has set a new bar for weather effects for me and this doesn't even come to matching those.

Still, looks cool. I'll check it out and hope this reignites my love for Horizon 2.

I don't often buy DLC, but FH2 is one of my favourite games this year and I'd love more content to play on it. Quite excited for this.

So why wasn't this trailer at The Game Awards? Would have been a lot better alternative than the TV commercial.

Anyway... This was an awesome surprise. Will buy after I've returned from my Christmas vacation. :)

Looks really nice! Love off-roading.

And what's up with the DC weather comments? FH2 has had rain from the very start, but somehow they are copying DC now...

Are you serious? Forza Horizon 2 had weather from the very first day.

What's with all this fanboy nonsense polluting this thread.

Thank you, I realize there has been weather since day one. I'm talking about their extreme weather. I wasn't even the person that made the comment in the first place. Talk about fanboys.

When you insert yourself into a conversation with a comment seemingly backing up their idea, don't complain when people mistake you for being with the rest.

Extreme weather was invented by DriveClub now?

Let's nip this in a bud - DriveClub's weather effects are in a league of their own, there's no doubt at all, but Horizon 2 is still a very beautiful game, and this expansion is just what I needed to tear me away from SO.

I was hoping for snowy Alps, but a stormy island will do until FH3.

What is this?

Horizon 2, while not having as detailed weather effects, especially with regards to rain, had weather effects from day one. They even put out a demo to showcase the rain effects.

You're just embarrassing yourself by posting this tripe.

Looks great, will get this.

Honestly what a great year for racing games, despite what anyone says this, Driveclub and The Crew are each amazing in their own ways.

well this thread went to shit rather quickly....

One thing i was hoping for was a more "varied" offroad terrain, with the kind of airs and hitches in the original Horizon Rally DLC. blasting down trails is fun, but give me those hills and switchbacks.

In.

There's no need to nip anything in the bud, it's a natural comparison. That doesn't mean what Horizon 2 is doing suddenly becomes garbage.

Only a fool would think such a thing.

Ok. At least FH2 released with weather and replays and photo mode and it actually worked on-line and all. But yeah, they created this as a last ditch effort to "compete" with DC and have the same features that DC launched with.

I agree, DC weather is crazy good looking but Horizon for all that it does is an incredible game for sure !

This patch is cool in my book !

I am actually surprised there was no hints or anything about this coming and boom it is out tomorrow. Can't wait to give it a spin when I have time.

They probably knocked up in a week. They saw DC and realised their game would be made irrelevant so rushed this through development.

You'll notice that a lot of the assets are recycled from the main game to hurry development along.

Forza motorsport 6 better have these rain effects as well as snow. Night time races would be a super big yes

Edit:
Don't fall for the bait lmao^
