So apparently there's an expansion coming out tomorrow called Storm Island?

IGN has the trailer Here and it promises "Extreme Weather," 5 offroad Legends, and 80 new events.

Could be cool? Doesn't look to be worth more then $10 or $15 though.

Edit: I just saw they tweeted out the pricing as well.

Out tomorrow for #ForzaHorizon2 on #XboxOne, the 'Storm Island' expansion DLC will cost $19.99, or $9.99 if you're a Horizon 2 VIP.

VIP 4 Lyfe.

um, this is rather unexpected

Anyone ordering it online from the store? I'm logged in (from work), I have VIP and the Season Pass, but at checkout it's still showing $19.99. Is it $9.99 for VIPs, and when/how is the discount applied?

I went in game and went to the marketplace, says $9.99 there, that brought me to the store where it is also 9.99. just bought it and I'm about to go hog wild

There seems to be an additional update today, I think it was around 1 gb. I'm now downloading storm island, which I missed the size again, but look like maybe 1-2 gb as well.

There are some known issues with VIP discounts atm, see http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_postst28092_Current-Issues-with-Storm-Island-50--VIP-discount.aspx

Is VIP still $10? It'd be worth it for me to get the Tesla, and then get the DLC for $10.

VIP is $20, I just went ahead and bought it tonight for this beast: http://www.donkervoort.com/en/cars/donkervoort-d8-gto/

discount was applied to storm island immediately

VIP is $10 if you already own Forza 5 VIP though.

You've got to drive to the shore, there is a festival mark on the map, the Australian dude was very clear about this in the unskippable cutscene

Weird, I didn't see a cutscene. It says it's installed, but I don't see anything by the shore either.

wait, just restarted my xbone and it is updating FH2, again.

I think the cutscene occurs the first time you click the new storm island tab in the menu or something. Idk I'm on drugs

First two "VIP Wheelspins" after buying VIP - one of the more expensive Audis, and the Jaguar E type + 150,000 CR. Also was gifted a Veneno and a third Huracon.

Uhhhhh....the DLC was 3+ gb on top of that if I'm reading things correctly

The expansion itself is pretty cool.........

I think it was more like 3 gigs total, that's what my download log seems to indicate.

The expansion is cool. Rally tires and stuff are back, you can turn your STi into a 4x4 dream again like FH1.

visibility can change... drastically

The island is very cool, it's like an offroad paradise, reminds me quite a lot of taking the jeep out around the backroads of arizona a number of years ago

Storm Island is officially well worth the $10 if you have VIP.

I've only done a few of the championships, but so far the courses seem to have much more of a "flow" to them than the regular FH2 offroad events, and the cross country courses seem to be a lot better, since there are far fewer "shoot the gap between immovable objects" sections, and there fewer annoying sections that roll you over over if you hit them slightly wrong.

The only thing that's slightly disappointing is that the rally body kits seem to be limited to a very few cars. So far, I've seem them on the 2005 Subaru WRX, the 1992 Mitsubishi Galant, and the 1983 Audi Sport Quattro, but none of the other cars in the modern rally, 90's rally, or Group B monsters categories seem to have any extra body parts available, which is kind of odd, since quite a few of those cars competed in the WRC, and there's at least one (the Celica GT-Four) that had rally stuff available in Forza 5.

Are you sure? I've been using the 2013 wrx, the 1970something escort, the bmw x5... all with rally kits

I noticed last night the rally trans can raise the gear ratio for no real gain on some cars. Go into your tuning and lower the final drive ratio to below 4.0 to get your top speed back

I have the season (car) pass but the FH2 F&F car pack shows up as $4.99 for me. Is anyone with the season pass getting it for free or do I need to shell out the five bux. I don't mind spending $5, I just don't want to if I don't have to.

P.S. - Just added all the free cars that I didn't have yet to the garage and added a few cars I had wanted but passed over, and got the 175 cars in your garage "Worthy of a Sultan" cheevo.

Rock da casbah.

I'm looking at it now and it shows $5 :argh:

i ended up playing this all night gathering the porsche achievements. Been playing a lot of pcars, but the driving in this game is just fantastic.

all the new porsches are extremely good. my personal favorite has to be the '82 911 turbo which not only has a classic porsche interior, but seems like a fantastic candidate for rally upgrades . the 918 is just insanely fast and agile, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be the time setting hypercar in F6. Looks amazing too.

it's also rather amusing to see 7/10 cars in online lobbies be porsches

The carerra gt of course comes in red, so you can live your paul walker dreams. This car's engine sounds quite good as well, recommend you turn your speakers up and use exterior view for a bit.

There are 19 games with the Porsche license. The 928 has been in exactly one of those, that one being a game featuring only Porsches, despite it being a top-of-the-line model for the company when it was current.



Sounds like good reasons for it to pop up in forza
