It’s been confirmed by Playground Games’ Creative Director Ralph Fulton that Forza Horizon 2 will run at 1080p and 30fps on Xbox One.
Speaking with IGN Fulton said, “I think what we did on Horizon was demonstrate that, and this is really important, a locked frame rate that’s absolutely solid and never drops is the most important thing for our game.’
Fulton explains that although the 30fps vs 60fps is “always a hot-button topic” he believes that once players see a game running at a locked 30fps they’ll think “Oh, this actually really works.” Running on the same engine as Forza 5 — which was 1080p and 60fps — Fulton says the difference is that Horizon 2 is an open world game.
“We need to be able to drive in any direction at up to 270 miles an hour, if you’re gonna soup up a Veyron or something like that. So one of the big technical challenges that we had to face was making sure that we could stream in a world that is next-gen beautiful, but fast enough to keep up with the fastest car. That’s a huge tech challenge but it’s one that our guys just eat up.”
