Forza 2 Demo - Feedback

Downloaded the demo last night.

Loved it.

Only gripe I have is that it seems to suffer from the PGR3 widescreen issue, i.e., your car looks taller than it should be.

Other than that, great game, handled it pretty damn good and placed my order today.

Biggest I could get. Definately was more taller, but ONLY my car, the others looked fine. Will take a snapshot tonight when I get in.

Could be me not knowing how tall a car is mind you, but just didn't look right.

I find the braking when using a control pad sucks. You can only pull the trigger very slightly or it brakes too hard/locks up :(

Not very analogue (is that the right word?)

Progressive

Is the sensitvity adjustable?
 
I like it. I find it far more involving than pgr3 which bores me to the point of turning off the console.

It's also nice to know that a mistake will cost you, really makes you concentrate.

Shall be purchasing it.

Thats unlikely, it shouldnt bug too much while in a game. Its out in Japan in 5 days apparently, next thursday

Looks like a Czech Gaming store has already put them on the shelves.

It's the LCE version, the same as the one i've pre-ordered. The carbon case looks quite cool

I was on the forza forum a few minutes ago and came across this

Hi all,



I had the opportunity to play the full version today and can confirm that an update is available to completely fix the jaggy issues Big Smile [:D]



It looks like they have changed the HDR lighting as the entire game now looks brighter and it is razor. The annoying white dots and general jagginess are completely gone.



I even ran the demo again and boy what a difference, demo looked very poor and jaggy. This will truly shut the non believers up big time, and should indicate to other game devs that updates may well be required to fix certain games...................come on bizarre it is not a hardware issue.......PGR3 looks horrible right now as do others.



Bur remember, this was not Turn 10's fault at all, Microsoft changed certain video areas in the spring update and thats why the demo looked so bad.



Turn 10, THANK YOU SO MUCH...................................my dismay when I originally played the demo is no longer. it really does look the Dogs B*ll*x. I cannot wait to get the game on the 8th June.



I can assure everybody here it will go down a storm. Nurburgring is out of this world and is easily the most accurate,scaled and detailed rendition of the track ever period. They have even reproduced the undulations on the track - it will catch you out initially unless you have driven Nuremberg for real.



I will be more than happy to answer questions but bear in mind I dont have the game yet and cannot check anything specific. I promise everyone the jaggies have been removed - the only trouble i have now is that I played it on my mates xtreme machine and it was really special, it just makes waiting for the 8th June all the worse lol.

I do hope this is correct because for me that was the only letdown but it wouldnt have stopped me buying the game , just have to wait until 8th of june :( .

Very good to hear cant w8 till 8th June.
 
It's true. The jaggies aren't gone completely, but they are much less pronounced. You can tell it's running 2xAA now, whereas before it didn't look like it was running any AA atall.

The biggest improvement is in the lighting though, the colours look less saturated, there isn't such a huge contrast between the light and dark parts any more, it all looks more natural.

The HDR bloom looks a hell of a lot better too.

It still doesn't look 'real' enough for me, but it's a huge improvement.

Shame I can't play it for longer than a few minutes before my 360 crashes :(

EDIT: Before anyone starts, I will be BUYING it on release :)

How are ppl already playing the full game? I have a sneaky suspicion but i may be wrong...


A combination of Piracy and region freeness of the US version of the game, I guess. It comes out in USA Tuesday.
