Forza 2 Demo - Feedback

JBeck · 10 May 2007 at 10:29

So here it is, do you love it, hate it, was it worth the wait?

Serious discussion please.

Edit... Would like some feedback from wheel users as to how it all feels.

What this thread not good enough for ya eh eh?

Awful in my opinion.

Visuals are pretty terrible and I don't like the gameplay at all.

JBeck · 10 May 2007 at 10:49

No it's 50 pages long and too much bickering

Ooer, that's not a good start

What settings are available for the wheel.
Is it correct that demo have no AA?

SHEF · 10 May 2007 at 10:55

There is no AA in the demo, shame too as watching the replay after the race shows you how good it would have looked...

Saint · 10 May 2007 at 10:55

its very hard to corner with the assists off lol

movingtables · 10 May 2007 at 10:56

can people with the demo try it on 1080i please.
just see if it helps with the reports of jaggies?

ta.

Margaret · 10 May 2007 at 11:03

I'm running 1080i and there's still lots of jaggies.

Meh, graphics aint so nice, PGR3 looks better, cars look jaggy. Handling is rubbish, braking is once again pathetic, locking up the wheels with the slightest touch of the brake at 100MPH, rubbish.

Very disappointed, so glad I aint bought a wheel and seat for this, will try it with ABS on, but really if you hated the braking in FM1 then this is just the same, in fact it all feels the same.

Do you normally like this type of game though - did you like Forza 1 or GT for example. It would help give your opinion some context.

Not particularly worried about jaggies in a demo, esp when it's been confirmed the final thing will have AA turned on.

So ignoring the jaggies what's it like?

Probably because you got to get used to it with assists off people seem to drive fine in videos we seen.

It's nice. I have to get used to the breaking again. It's been ages since I've played a racing sim. My problem is I break when it suggests - but I must break too hard and then the car slows down so much that it loses responsiveness.

If the final game has AA on I'll eat my hat. And damn I hope I have to.

havnt played it so dont quote here. but assuming forza 2 is meant to be a simulation game, and you where driving a race car with a pad, and the brake button is basically an on/off switch for the brakes then it wouldnt be hard to lock the brakes up.

Has anyone had similar problems with a steering wheel and pedals ?

It isn't an on/off switch - the brakes like the throttle are analogue triggers, not digital.

They ain't got much travel though to be fair.

With assists on, I am coming from PC sim racing, I dont need to learn how to drive a sim with assists off, no offence, but the braking in FM2 is not natural, not even close.
