Eight Free Downloadable Cars Coming to Forza Horizon 2 at Launch

Forza Horizon 2 is just weeks away and soon Forza fans the world over will be exploring the high-speed highways and breakneck back roads of southern Europe. Forza Horizon 2 will ship with more than 200 cars all built from the ground up on Xbox One, and as is the case with all Forza games, we will be constantly updating Forza Horizon 2 with new content.

Beginning on 3rd October to coincide with the release of Forza Horizon 2, we’ll be launching a brand new pack for the game: the Forza Horizon 2 Launch Bonus Car Pack. This car pack will feature eight cars representing the variety that can be found in the Forza Horizon 2 car roster – from rough-and-tumble trucks like the 1956 Ford F-100 to the raw power represented by the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The Launch Bonus Car Pack will include three never-before-seen vehicles in the Forza franchise: the 2003 Ford Focus RS, the 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, and the 1993 Clio Williams. Best of all, all eight of the cars featured in the Launch Bonus Car Pack will be available to all Forza Horizon 2 players at launch for no additional cost.

Here’s the full list of cars in the Launch Bonus Car Pack:

• 2003 Ford Focus RS
• 1997 Land Rover Defender 90
• 1993 Clio Williams
• 2015 Ford Mustang GT
• 1987 Buick Regal GNX
• 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV
• 1968 Abarth 595 esseesse
• 1956 Ford F-100

In addition to the Launch Bonus Car Pack, today we’re also announcing the details for Forza Horizon 2 VIP membership (discounted for current Forza Motorpsort 5 VIPs) and the Forza Horizon 2 Car Pass. As in Forza Motorsport 5, each purchased add-on car can be added to your in-game garage one time for free – without additional in-game credits.

VIP Membership

Forza Horizon 2 VIP Membership (regular ￡15.99; 50% off or ￡7.99 for Forza Motorsport 5 VIP members) is like a backstage pass at the Horizon Festival, giving you access to cool content you can only get here. VIP members will receive exclusive benefits in Forza Horizon 2, including the VIP Car Pack, featuring five cars (four of which are brand new to the Forza franchise). VIP membership also awards with 2x player in-game reward acceleration, access to exclusive multiplayer events, in-game gifts from the Forza community team, and special in-game recognition.

Car Pass

The Forza Horizon 2 Car Pass (￡19.99) gets you access to six monthly pack add-ons beginning in October, with each pack featuring five amazing cars. Plus, Car Pass owners will receive an exclusive bonus car for free: the 2010 Noble M600. That’s 31 additional cars to collect, race, and customise in Forza Horizon 2. More details on the first monthly car pack for Forza Horizon 2 coming soon.

Demo/Pre-Download Available Now

We’ve saved the best for last: starting today you can download the Forza Horizon 2 game demo on Xbox Live and get a tantalising taste for the game. In addition the game is now available for pre-order at your local retailer and for pre-order/pre-download in the Xbox Store.

ScreamRide Gameplay Video

   

Create, Ride, Destroy, Scream - Here's What to Expect from ScreamRide

During this Summer's gamescom 2014 Xbox Briefing, ScreamRide's reveal stood out, even though it wasn't exactly clear what kind of game we were looking at. Is it a simulation? An action title? Recently, I met up with Executive Producer Jorg Neumann, who shared much more on ScreamRide, including a look at the tools used to construct roller coasters that defy reality and what happens when your friends start riding them.

"Unprecedented levels of destruction?" OK, ScreamRide, now you have my attention. The screaming begins this Spring on Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection ~ Warlock 1080p/60fps B-Roll footage







  

  





Warlock Revealed as the Final Halo 2 Map Being Re-Imagined for Halo: The Master Chief Collection

First it was Wizard in Halo: Combat Evolved. Then it was remade in Halo 2 as Warlock, and again as Magus in Halo: Reach. Now, the fan favorite arena will find a home in Halo: The Master Chief Collection as Warlord - the last of the six classic Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer maps being re-imagined for the game, joining Ascension, Coagulation, Zanzibar, Sanctuary and Lockout.

Set amid the ruins of an ancient Forerunner dungeon on Delta Halo, Warlock was renowned for hosting close-quarters firefights across its stony ramps and platforms, as well as teleporters that allowed players to instantly warp back and forth across the map to escape gunfights or launch deadly ambushes.

"Warlock was my pet project due to fond memories of internal Bungie playtests where we had intense, epic shotgun CTF matches,” said Max Hoberman, president of Certain Affinity and the multiplayer lead designer on the original Halo 2. “There’s really nothing else quite like this map in the Halo sandbox – a small arena 4-way symmetric base map – and we felt that it would be a great complement to the other re-imagined maps.”

Of course, Halo 2: Anniversary’s Warlord also includes a few new updates.

Warlord will be familiar to fans, but there are also some fun tweaks that I think players will appreciate, including additional cover, new skill jumps, and a new weapon in the center,” said Hoberman.

Warlord and the other five re-imagined Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer maps will be available in Halo: The Master Chief Collection, launching November 11, 2014.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection lets players experience the Master Chief’s complete story for the first time on one console (including an entirely re-mastered version of Halo 2’s campaign) and wage war across more than 100 multiplayer and Spartan Ops maps. Halo: The Master Chief Collection also includes access to Halo: Nightfall, the live-action digital series executive produced by legendary Hollywood director Ridley Scott, and the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta.
