Is this yellow car meant to look like that? The seams look rather dominant.

That yellow car looks poor.

Quote from Che Chou from Volume 45 Weekly Pitpass Report

Well, in regards to the Forza 2 demo. I still don't have an answer. As of today's emails, the demo was still in the hands of our certification dept. They're expediting it through the process but it's not out of the woods yet. We should have a firm idea when you can expect the demo by early next week. Basically, once it passes cert, throwing it up on Marketplace shouldn't take more than a couple days.

beta software but did someone draw around the panels with a black marker.
Agree that looks bad. We may find the graphics arnt fantastic in all areas.

"Graphically though as expected this is a mixed bag. When everything goes right Forza 2 looks really good, but when the lighting goes bad it looks like toy cars racing. It just feels exactly like Forza 1 did, it's not far from "there", but still not good enough"

All we know is the last few videos coming out from im sure an almost final build look pretty good.

For it to look that bad this close to being released doesn't seem very promising. I could understand if they were adding the odd last minute touch of polish but going by that pic they need to go back to the drawing board.

Check out the new video and screenshots, also the full intro including the audio corrected. Also confirmation that videos shown outside of Turn 10 are not from a final release.

New Import Tuner Video looks good enough to me guys...

The Perils of Working at Turn 10

For the entirety of the Forza Motorsport 2 development cycle, members of Turn 10 racked up 41speeding tickets on the way to and from work, including two revoked licenses.

It seems the Seattle police have equipped themselves to battle the hooners of Puget Sound.

I think nit pickers will find plenty to pick about with the game in graphical terms, still i think it looks excellent and better than PGR3, im more excited about the handling and prospects of how fun the game might be.

Most people who are gonna go out and buy the game are too

The gfx arent prefect but who honestly cares? Even with its flaws, its still the best looking driving sim to date imo.

Just brought myself a steering wheel :cool:

, hope it's good, haven't tried it out yet but have been reading up on how amazing it's supposed to be with Forza 2 this morning and could'nt help myself.

Mr Latte · 5 May 2007 at 15:56

Nice to see more wheel users appearing, now if only my wheel would appear id be happy. DHL are now messing me about, damn, damn,damn im not meant to get this wheel/seat, with all the hassel ive been having i can see it arriving faulty or something.

Missed in the PitPass report that indeed those who have ordered the Special Edition, it does indeed come with a CD soundtrack.

"Forza Motorsport 2 Limited Collector's Edition, which includes a soundtrack CD, a special making-of book (which yours truly contributed to), as well as nicer packaging and different cover art. On top of all that, the LCE comes with a code that allows you to download three exclusive cars available only to those who own the LCE."

Yeah but the LE cars will be available to all after a month or something

Bummer that but still...
Extra book, CD and fancier package (well not really) but only a fiver more, theirs always the standard version that feel its not worth the extra i suppose.

anyone know what the LE cars are, because with those and the soundtrack i think it may be worth the extra fiver, unlike most limited editions i see around

pitty i cant afford the wheel for now though, maybe later on in the year
