Gameondaily's Gaz Lehri offers his thoughts on why he is disappointed by the recently announced Forza Horizon 2 being a cross-gen title.

Would love to see a PC port of this game Forza 3 and 4 are just gorgeous on XBOX but Jaw dropping on PC.
not like DC does. they were 10 yrs ahead of their time.

but FH2 was pretty good as well.
* I've still yet to beat the game and haven't bought FH3 or FH4 because I still have stuff to do in FH2....I just haven't played in a while. It's an awesome game and yes it still is just as good now as when it originally released.
Jacob writes: "Following on from my list of insanely difficult achievements, it’s time to shine the spotlight on another type of hellish achievement. The dreaded grind. These are the awards that will take you hundreds of hours at the absolute minimum, and often involve repeating menial tasks over and over. It’s safe to say that these were definitely not made with the casual gamer in mind. Only the most committed will ever see these pop."
As different as they are, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Forza Horizon, FIFA 19, and the new Tomb Raider have something in common. You could play all of them earlier than others. But there was a catch – you had to pay extra. And this practice doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.
Meanwhile selling Switch at MSRP price is considered an amazing offer. PATHETIC.
Is this how they trick people into paying $80 Us Dollars for games next gen? Then I will get every game used.
If they remove MT and actually make games fun again like they used to I'll gladly pay $ 80 for game hell I already do that for Sony's games.
As long as the early access is just an additional feature of the edition that comes with the season pass and all that then I'm fine with it. But I'm not going to pay extra JUST for early access.
When you're, what, 3-4mill units on your next gen hardware, you don't cater for the last gen, you give them insensitive to upgrade. FULLY agree with this guy, with this an HD ports of HD games.

The irony here is that, over the years many have bashed MS for abandoning old hardware, and now that they're supporting that old hardware with a new game, everyone is bashing them for supporting that old hardware because it will seemingly hold the new game back on the new hardware.
I think what's been established here is that MS simply cannot do right in some peoples' eyes - they drop the old, they get bashed. They support the old, they get bashed.
Me, I never cared about support for old hardware. I'm a launch day buyer of new hardware. Once I got my XBO/PS4/Wii U, I have no need for 360/PS3/Wii games.
Personally I wish Horizon 2 was XBO only. I, too, expect that Horizon 2 will suffer due to having to support now ancient hardware. Just thought I'd point out the irony in the reaction.
Flame bait BS. Horizon 2 is developed by Playground for Xbox One SOLELY using the FM5 engine. A different developer is doing the 360 version.
There is a different developer doing the xbox 360 version than the xbox one version.

It's not just Forza. It's Watch Dogs, Destiny, Titanfall, everything. Even MKX is apparently on last gen, and it's a 2015 release.
