It's official, Forza Motorsport 2 will be released in Europe on May 2007, on the same date as its North American release. The 35 cars from Ferrari Lamborghini, Maserati, and Porsche are fully customizable in the game. This means that you can pretty much pimp your ride from its engine all the way to its paint job and yes, there are full body kits. Interestingly enough, after lovingly modifying your ride, the car crashes and pile-ups are wonderfully detailed.


So the long wait is coming to an end, put on your racing helmets and strap in, because Forza Motorsport 2 is coming very soon.

All this time and yet they under-delivered on what they promised the tracks would look like. The car models are nice and very detailed but the track itself doesn't justify having great cars. This game will be a big disappointment if its not improved.

Under delivered?

I see, so you've played the game have you? The tracks look VERY detailed to me, and don't really on photos overlayed onto simply polygons to 'fake' the environment. This may be good enough for you, but I expect more in a next-gen game, and Forza 2 appears to deliver this. "This game will be a big disappointment if its not improved." Yet again you show yourself to be an ***** gamer who put graphics ahead of gameplay. Forza PLAYED superbly on the XBox, and I expect the same will be true for Forza 2.

ok i agree with both of you. The gameplay well definitely be solid and will be fun. The gfx on the other hand look almost identical to pgr3 to me... so i jsut would like a slight improvement which is notiveable in this game visually but nevertheless it will be a great game. and no im not a fanboy but it hink gt5 will beat this game aslthough it should if it doesnt theres a problem considering its comign out a year or so later

Game addicts are the big problems.

I’m Japanese and live in Japan; however, game addicts are classified as 3rd raters in any countries; it’s just same in Japan or in the states. Ok, kids. What kind of stupid human beings spend (waste) time for reading game related thingies when you waste even more hours every single day to play games? Playing games is not enough for you? So you have to waste hours and hours every day to read game related articles, watch game related movies and see game related pictures? Game addicts are very pathetic sort of people I can imagine. They are pitiful guys in real lives. The gaming addicts occupy the lowest ranks in any society. Let’s take an example of Counter-strike. Game addicts played the game so much, now they become very good at it. When they play the game online, they can get a lot of kills when they only relatively die much less. Their kill–death ratio is very good; better than other people; therefore, the game addicts feel satisfied and get self-esteem because they are better and cooler than other people in that virtual world. On the other hand, game addicts are regarded as 3rd rated, lifeless, worthless, useless, stupid, and trash like kinds in real lives with garbage like educational achievement. Game addicts created their own virtual reality and try very hard every day to maintain their imaginative gaming world. For your easy understanding guys, I have a very simple and concise example. When you were high schoolers, you had seen a lot of nerds and non-fashionable classmates. I’m talking about those students who study very hard and spend a lot of time for studying, working and planning for their future. You, game addicted kids called them idiots or nerds. Now, years later from then, those hard working and diligent students attend universities when game addicts get worthless lives. A few more years later from this moment, they will work as lawyers, doctors, officers, et cetera when you will work as cleaners, store clerks, janitors and bus drivers. Game addicts will clean up those hard working people’s office later as janitors; and this is the real life; get out of your virtual gaming world. Your life is worth about $10 per hour; I actually have nothing more to say. Those respectable and hard working people who become lawyer and doctors earn about $200 - $600 per hour. Even the youngest and entry level lawyers earn $300 per hour. If you work as store clerks, for example, you will earn about $8 per hour if you just started working. You will get about $15 per hour about 8 years later when you have a lot of work experience. I bet you feel very happy about your life because now you can earn $15 per hour instead of $8. If you are so bone-headed, I can talk about just so many other aspects of reality. I don’t have to talk about the amount of money (dollars) you earn. I can talk about, let’s say, the quality of lives? I’m sure that lawyer’s life quality is incomparably much more superior, better, safer, securer, cleaner, more respectable, and so on than the life quality of game addicts.

HEY!!

HEY!! Arent those Gran Turismo screenshots??! (wink) ...PS3 SUX...

Wow you are such an idiot. Everything in a game is a photo/texture overlayed onto a polygon model. Those cars your looking at are a wireframe model with textures overlayed on top of them. ON PC games its very obvious and proven because you can run games in wireframe mode and turn off the textures overlaping them. You prove yourself to be very stupid by not knowing that every model in a game is overlayed in textures. Then those textures have various layers on top of them to change the way textures react like bump mapping. Forza was a mix in simulation and arcade racing. It was far from being realistic as GT and, yes both games physics can be compared. GTHD has incredible physics for being a game redesigned from GT4, I expect them to exceed the realism of GTHD in Forza 2, if not, then just like the first, it will be focused on the popular cars and not on the real driving experience.

ps3 does suck

Idiot

"Wow you are such an idiot. Everything in a game is a photo/texture overlayed onto a polygon model." LOL! Stop acting the fool, you know EXACTLY what I'm referring to in GT4 and GT-HD. Stop pretending the Grand-Canyon was a polygon environment in GT4. GT-HD uses similar 'tricks', and I would expect we'll see less of this in GT5. Again, stop acting the fool... oh wait, you can't help it. "Forza was a mix in simulation and arcade racing. It was far from being realistic as GT and, yes both games physics can be compared." Forza is a SIMULATION you viet idiot! The simulation in Forza is EVERY BIT AS GOOD as GT4. So it's obvious you've NEVER played this game because what you said applies to the PGR series, not Forza. And Forza was more accomplished than GT with GOOD AI (unlike GT), damage (unlike GT) and online racing (unlike GT). Go read the Forza reviews you FOOL; From Gamespot [The link will not work here, but scored 9.2 overall, and 10/10 for gameplay] From Gamespy.com; http://uk.xbox.gamespy.com/xbox/forza-motorsport/609599p1.html "Actually, even without a high level of graphics pleasure, Forza is still better than Gran Turismo 4. Why? How about incredible online play, solid AI and a realistic damage model? That's in addition to hundreds of cars, impeccable control and a career mode deep enough to rival your local bottomless well. In short, racing fans who bought a PS2 just for the GT series should think long and hard about trading it in for an Xbox and a copy of Forza Motorsport.... " Just like GT, those who raced cars on real tracks and then compared the same in the same, found both to be very similar. On www.gameshark.com [again the link will not work here] "If at the start of the current console generation someone had wagered me that before the end of it Microsoft%u2019s fledgling Xbox would have a better racing simulation than Sony%u2019s vaunted Gran Turismo franchise, I would have laughed at them, taken the bet, and waited for the sure-thing cash I had coming. Well right now I%u2019d be a bit poorer if I had made that bet. Forza Motorsport is here for the Xbox and it handily out Gran Turismos even Gran Turismo itself in almost every way." Last gen, the jury was SPLIT on which SIMULATION was better, GT4 or Forza, so don't give me your crap about Forza and arcade racing because EVERY REVIEW describes Forza as a sim, and I own it! It's a sim. I prefered it over GT4 because the AI makes Forza more of a driving/racing sim, whereas GT4 is more of a driving sim.

Broken_Window, don't waste your time on Vietone

EVERYONE knows he's a Sony fanboy, and a fool and (like most fanboys)... spineless. Recently, he was posting in all the Oblivion topics saying how much superior the PS3 version will be. Last week, he came to dumb conclusions about the PS3 version and Cell after reading an article on IGN, and made claims that they didn't even say!!! But later, when Peter Hines from Bethesda said the improvements was ALL due to extra time and that the PS3 is doing nothing that couldn't be done on the 360 and PC, Vietone is suddenly nowhere to be found. I see this all the time with Vietone and other fanboys. They have big mouths and talk sh@t all the time, but when there is absolute proof that they are incorrect, they run stay away because they lack the courage to admit they were wrong. :| Hence his comments here about Forza being a mixture between simulation and arcade racer is typical of this fanboy, and his presense here only shows his insecurity (again, like all fanboys).

"EVERYONE knows he's a Sony fanboy, and a fool and (like most fanboys)... spineless." Yeah, you're right, he a waste of time and a waste of space.

Forza>GT

any one thats actauly played both gt and forza can easily tell the difference between how the cars handle (which is what makes a good game for me) in gt the cars just understeer no matter what car your driving forza cars handle differently depending on how you drive them thats why forza beats gt
by - 2007-02-16 07:44:27
Psst

Don't let Vietone hear you say that. She thinks Forza is a mix between a sim and an arcade racer! :P

No one here respects vietone anyways

The guys a complete idiot. Armchair expert if you may. He try to talk big, but doesnt have a clue. He also likes to spin things like broken windows gthd photo comments. Everyone knows the backgrounds were photos, but vieone has to try and spin it, and insult people at the same time. He is the lowest of the low, and this may sound harsh. But i hope he does us all a favor and wins a darwin award. The world would be a better place. Someone needs to photoshop his photbucket pictures. Hes a fat little asian kid. Lets make him famous like that chubby faced asian kid, photshoped into movie posters etc.

Hahaha

Says the guy with the novel for a post. Im a huge gamer, but im also an Engineer. So what does that make me? You try and talk all high and mighting. But guess what, the majority of older gamers, are University grads. People like you write on forums to try and slam others to make them selves feel better. So next time you have these great (moronic) words of wisdom, take a look in the mirror, and realize how useless you are. kthxbye.
