Forza 2 latest Update and Demo Discussion Thread

Why would rarity affect PI rating though.
Its not a performance factor....

Also why the PI so different with the specs very similar. The difference in specs doesnt seem to relate to the difference in PI, just wondering.

Could be the power/torque curve, and other characteristics that aren't summed up in the standard graphs, as they'll certainly be different, as the F40 is a 2.9l Turbocharged engine, whereas the Lambo has a 6.0l NA engine, though that's a guess and I don't know how they fully calculate it.

Yeah i understand what your saying, two entirely different cars and to a point even the performance chart wont show how each car handles, turns in etc differently.

I suppose once you get on track with a few cars certain people will find particular favourites or at least cars that they like and dont like the handling of.

Fancy your chances with the time trials Davey lad?
 
Nice preview at ign but the jaggies part is a bit frustrating, how come over 1 year on they still can't get this promised 4xaa with no performance hit working, its beyond me.
 
I seen a post from a French article that said new content would be ready very soon after release, including the Le Mans 24hr Track :)

I'll be revising solid away from my 360 for the next 6+weeks, so unfortunately I'll have to wait until the full game is out properly I'd have thought, but it's certainly the only game I'll be playing when I do end up getting back to my 360.
 
The AA is in the final build for at least on car models (dont know 2x 4x etc) The problem is HDR or the lighting/reflections cant have AA applied to it. I think its some graphical limitation for the system.

Regarding the visuals and why so many people get hung up on the AA issue i find kinda weird i have expressed in the past even GTHD, Motorstorm, F1 all have AA issues which are some of the latest games available, whys it such an issue for FM2?

We know this much, the game will look better than PGR3. The tracks also seem very accurate, Suzuka isnt just a flat surface. Pay particular attention to the left hand hairpin after the overpass that part of the track is rather bumpy ~ . Wheel owners can only hope that with such detail/bumps etc put into the track design the wheel will help get the full potential from it all.

I terms of graphics i have to say the game looks amazing, i little to bright (looks to me like a problem on ajusting the TV more than the game itself). The game runs very very smoth, i dont saw any slowdowns at any moment on those tracks, no pop up. The game looks a lot better than those Teamxbox game play screens, basically you dont see jaggies, but it looks a little weird on roof or others parts where the reflections is too much (hdr is the effect right?), there you see some small jaggies, the rest is amazing, overall i love it and i have side by side another screen with GT HD to compare, both game very pretty.

Tell me about it, I'm getting no work done from checking the forzamotorsport.net forums constantly.
 
Well ive told you guys my opinion and i dont think its going to appear out of the blue. Expect an announcement come tomorrow of an apology because the game was delayed along with some PR spin.

Im also peeved off because the company that i ordered the wheel and racing seat sent the damn thing to someone else, doh.

Frustration reaches new levels...

Anyways....

Do you reacon it'll be: sorry that the release is delayed, but here's the demo...
 
Turn 10 were late at submitting the game, so whatever Microsoft as a publisher had planned originally thinking they were getting the game before the close of April and demo earlier may just now all be offset by the two week delay.

The demo could now come mid May in my opinion.
We all want it sooner than later.
 
Mid may would be a very bad time to release it, don't forget the Halo 3 Beta starts on May 16th which MS will be upping big style for the PR.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Halo 3 beta date made MS say to turn 10 'Take a couple of extra weeks guys to polish' and i am talking about the full game not the demo, just so the 2 don't clash.

One of the reasons i replaced my xbox so quickly was because i thought the Forza demo might come, obviously not though. Guess we will just need to wait.
 
Just checked on my USA account, nothing, no new trailer or anything guys.
Decided to try out my USA 1600 points card so im downloading "Blood Diamond" movie in 720p all 6.5Gb of it, ouch.

*Stays on the system for 14 days but not bad for approx £3

I'll laugh my ass off if the demo appears on USA live first.... ;)
