Would be good if in Single Player you could pause it and watch the replay up to that point in time before the race finishes.

Yes i menationed this a while back just like in the way GT series always has allowed.

The GT games let you do that? I wish I'd known that when I played them. I never read the manuals.

having some sort of weather effects (something that PGR4 is doing this time i think) would be great and make Forza2 complete

No no the game looks fantastic, i am saying i hate seeing racing games from the behind view which is what i meant by crap, they just don't look realistic when viewed behind, i would have loved to see the cockpit view in that vid.

Ooops.. sorry... I see what you mean.. yeah, it would have been nice to see other views in thoese vids...

Very important screenshot this...

Before Race Menus

So we now know from within a race you dont need to goto the main menu for ANY of the above options.

Thats good game design, great that you can try even different setups within the car youve picked or even tune your car rather than have to revert to main menu and then select what option you wanted.

After Race Menus

Nice to see you can restart a race if you finished poorly you dont have to go back to the main menu and then select it again. The Less load times the better imo.

Dont think we will have the option it seems to view partial races as i can only presume from these menus that the Save replay option happens only after a race.

* EDIT
Damn i hope thats the game on easy mode because quite frankly i find those laptimes appalling compared to the NO.1 human opponent time and considering some of the PI ratings are similar.

This is something that the Moto GP games have always had, come to think of it. Even back in 2002 on the first Xbox.

Was round at a friends last night playing games and building flat pack furniture (badly) nice to see there's been a few updates to this thread, those video's look great. Just lacking the demo now!

This is good to see, one thing that put me off PGR3 was the bloody loading times. I don't mind loading, but when you have to do it just to change some simple settings or to restart a race it is such a pain.

OT - DD do you work or are you unemployed? I've always wondered. Some posts seem to suggest you work yet I can't make my mind up

Mr Men · 2 May 2007 at 11:15

So Demo today then?

Has there been any further announcement from Turn 10 or MS regarding the demo? I thought there might have been some sort of explanation as to why it didn't come out in April, and about when it will actually come out.

Not that I know off, dont think they ever did say when it was coming, it was posted on the Xbox site but mentioned no date, just it was coming. With the Halo Beta soon I would expect it to be this week.
