"Forza 2"

There's a new video of a 3-lap race on Mugello Circuit up on http://forzamotorsport.net, the official home of Forza Motorsport 2.

I downloaded it, viewed it a couple of times, and I'm at the stage where you really need to work hard to convice me that this is a videogame and not a TV replay. Not a jaggy in sight, no cardboard cut-out trees, no 2D crowds. It looks more real than real, if you get my drift.

The video can be found at the bottom of this webpage.

In other excrutiatingly exciting developments, the 24-car demo is due to leave the developers for certification early next week, so we might see the Forza 2 demo up on XBox Live pretty soon. I've no idea how long these things take, but end of this month is my guess, and that's only 9 days away!

The full car list is also now available, and I think I haven't anticipated a game this much since... I can't remember when I last anticipated a game this much.

Release date is still unknown, but I'd be surprised if I weren't tweaking tyre pressures on my Golf GTi 16v Mk2 at the end of May/early June.

I'll need to copy over some power ballads for some 'Stig" driving when I get this. :0)

Been looking on the forza forums - some really awsome custom paint jobs on show.
Wonder if Freeola would sponsor us with a GAD for having a Freeola custom paint job advert on the cars? :0P

I want a 360 now. :(

Woo hoo it came today, there's my weekend sorted. Now which region to start in

I've got it on order but I won't see it this week. It'll be next week I think.

I haven't got Live yet so I don't know why I'm telling you this. :)

I have to wait til tomorrow :-(

Picked Forza 2 up this morning from my local indie (Woolies didn't have it, neither did Tesco or Morrisons oddly) and have been playing for the last 4 hours solid, 30 mins of which was customising my number plates. 'FM1'.

Biggest change is this time around you can view races as they happen rather than joining them (which you can still do of course), and watching some of the crashes in the first turns is almost as exciting as being there and causing them.

Excellent.

Hasn't melted my 360 yet either.

Forza 2 design

Check out the design in the middle of the page there, that's utterly insane, must have taken ages to get it that good.

If all goes well with the family scamily then I may get a 360 and this game.

I think i'll just be starting off with some basic colour and shape designs getting used to all the different options and then eventually get round to start trying to draw things, i'm going to try to do a Cartman one
