'Forza Horizon 2' vs. 'Driveclub': Microsoft’s Exclusive Racing Game Previewed, PS4 Bundle And Upgrades Detailed

With just a few days left before "Forza Horizon 2" becomes available for Xbox players, a live action trailer has been developed to ramp up the hype, so to speak. Created by twofifteenmccann and titled "Leave Your Limits," the trailer features the 2014 Lamborghini Huracan, which will also be making an appearance in "Forza Horizon 2."

The trailer shows off a few scenes all over southern Europe, from vineyards to coastlines, which are pretty much some of the scenes that can be expected in "Forza Horizon 2." It's the spirit of the "Forza Horizon 2" experience in live-action glory.

"Forza Horizon 2" has also already been sampled, particularly since the demo is currently ongoing over at Xbox Live. OXM gives a preview overview of how the game races with its new cars and system.

First off is the fact that "Forza Horizon 2" is not just your average racing car game. Breaking free is the word players would be looking for, as it furthers the feel of a road trip, with possibility of racing rolled into the title.

Multiplayer is seamlessly integrated, which allows players to not only check out their friends' rides but also to let them see the view of southern Europe. This is all highlighted by the dynamic weather and changing times, making the experience something that's more pronounced and real at the same time.

"Forza Horizon 2" is not just an exploratory driving game either, as it also features challenges, levels and missions for those who love to achieve. There's a string of challenges in the Online Road Trip, Online Freeroam with co-op challenges and a skills system.

Getting lost in the game with all of its offers is much easier now than it was with the previous instalment of the "Forza" franchise. Granted, the next-gen graphics also play a big role in the overhaul, but at the very least, "Forza Horizon 2" gives gamers a reason to think about joining the next-gen wagon.

Over at Sony's camp, its "Driveclub" also has some new updates, starting with new in-game screens obtained by Gamepur, as seen in the link. But more than the gorgeous and very realistic shots, game director Paul Rustchynsky has also revealed some new information regarding the PS4 exclusive.

After delays and mix ups of pricing, the "Driveclub" version from the PS Plus will now have its upgrade price to full retail at £42.99, €49.99 or $49.99. But a report from Behind Games has spotted that the upgrade version has been discounted for the U.K., as it now appears to cost only £34.99.

As of now, "Driveclub" only features 10 cars unveiled for the title for the PS+ version, though the title is set to have 50 cars in total [this information was corrected thanks to a source]. There is also a set 38 cars coming with the season pass. But Rustchynsky did mention that more cars are coming, though it's not stated if these will come as free updates for the base game or if the cars will debut as DLCs in the future.
