Its really starting to look polished now but apparently they have delayed it a few weeks till the 8th June. I assume so it doesn't clash with the H3 beta.

Last i read, on xbox.com, is that it was delayed to May 29th.

However, having just checked back there now, its release has been given the dreaded TBD!:mad:

The america version is still showing May 29th though.

Where did you play it? What tracks/cars were you using? Did you get full access to the game or just a quick run around a track?


We need details!

Very nice,

I dunno why but something seems strange about the glowing brake discs. I've never noticed so many super-heated discs in so short a time.

Looks good though, I hope the AI is intelligent (I'm looking at you GT4!).

Thats the first thing I thought when watching that video. Fair enough brake discs heat up but not that much, it just looks plain stupid in what otherwise looks a very classy racer.

Is it just me or is this video starting and stopping all the time. Sound is fine but the picture looks as if I'm trying to watch a streaming video on a 56k connection.

Downloaded it twice via torrent link.Same both times. Right click/save as, was sooooooo slow.

Play fine for me.

Were you still sharing the file data with other bittorrent users? Maybe the file you were trying to watch was being accessed by your bittorrent client program.

I'll be happy if this is our greatest criticism of the game.

They glow like that because they are using carbon fibre brake disks. This happens at most corners on a F1 car as well.

I though it looked very realistic IMHO.

Darn that vid looks sweat! hope a demo is out soon.

Forza 2 demo officially confirmed.

Still no date.:mad: :mad:

Cheers for the preview link Scruff. I wonder if arcade mode will have the same physics as career mode... or will they make it more 'drifty'.

Regional Rarity will determine the availability and cost of your given stable of fine automobiles.....

To make it easy, Japanese car fanatics choose Asia, Odd-ball European exotic fans choose Europe, and muscle-heads and those looking for the widest array of international offerings should choose North America.

Now I don't know what region to choose!

Firstly, keep track of the game's development with weekly updates from the official Forza site. I will most likely post each update here but if not here is the link.

Really looking forward to this .... teh demo was supposed to be April according to most of the website I read ...ah well , hopefully not too long more.

kaimera

Now I don't know what region to choose!

It was the same in the original game..?

The official site has stopped accepting new members. [Linky]

I didn't have the original or own an Xbox. Just played a friend's copy a bit... and liked it more than Gran Turismo... for the competition had "AI" and the game was more exciting to play.

kaimera

Ah ok, ya you chose which region to start with and if affects the type of cars avilable and the prices of them.

Excellent game.

Trev M

The wait for this demo is driving me insane.

Pah! Picked mine up in Argos for 120e last weekend - unbelievably they seem to be the cheapest anywhere including the online stores.
