I can't say I'm very impressed with the car list. Quite a few new race cars and a few nice additions like the McLaren F1 etc, but still the 1999 Pagani which should have been the C12S for its performance (it's called the C12 - not the C12S or 7.3 and is basically the early 400BHP model). Where's the Zonda F or Zonda R Clubsport? Lambo's make an appearance but no BMW's again (apart from the race cars), no Aston Martin V8 Vantage, no Bugatti Veyron, same Koenigsegg CC8S (and not the CCR or CCX), no Ferrari 599. I could go on. A few nice additions like the Lotus Carlton, but really as far as road cars go it's not quite good enough. No surprises, just a rehash of Forza 1. Admittedly there are plenty of race cars but really I'm disappointed. I don't think they gave themselves the time or the man hours to add that many cars. But I guess there'll be DLC to come. Still, roll on GT5.

You know Bugatti will not allow any of there cars to be in any games.
 
Where did you hear that? Just because they haven't appeared in any games for a long time doesn't mean they won't allow it.
 
Remember in March when I said this game would come out in the Summer at the earliest :P

And after having seen some new footage, I have only one thing to say.




Their new paint system is off the walls awesome.
 
it already is the 14th june over here(the release date):( ohwell my 360 is away at the moment getting the blue aurora kit, blue ring of light, blue whisper fan and a chip. So i might import it play it till 4 days before release day over here then sell it on trademe and buy a new collecters edition:)

My favourite pic so far for this game and the most exciting ive seen(it also looks like you can actually see your settins in the garage(ride hide, camber etc...)
looks like were also getting some descent wheels this time round with a bit of lip(or alot).

Oh yeah, speaking of release dates, it's been pushed back from the 15th to the 29th.

Sounds good to me. Gives me more time to work on G.H.II, and save up some spare cash to buy the wireless steering wheel before it comes out.:)
 
woohoo ive got a 32" hdtv(supports 1080p)on it's way, my 360 is away being modded atm with the blue aurora kit, blue ring of light, blue whisper fans and chipped, ive got the lm forza 2 pre-ordered with free delivery to my doorstep(either the day before or same day as release) and i'm buying the wirless wheel in acouple of weeks:) and all this for NZ$250 less then the cost of a 60gig ps3:D

i'm going to be well set for release day 14th june, and i'll get a 5day weekend(my bday's the 7th so i'll take a couple of days of school, as a gift to myself:D). And at this time i'll have money fom my bday and left over from now to buy the hd-dvd player for my 360. Man lifes looking good at the mo....


a little OT, but does the original PGR3 have an update to support FF? ive found the wheel used for under half the price of a new one but it doesn't come with the ff edition of PGR3?

back on topic: that video in the new pitpass is pretty nice, i like the track(has the same sort of "atmosphere" as suzuka), i really like the sounds...
 
OMG i just bought the forza 2 background and it was well woth it!!! The first blade is a very nice pic of the 350z from the customization trailer(unseen pic front left on an angle, i think the pics are al hd aswell, somehow), the second blade is the pic of the cover of most of the artworks on the site of the CE edition(same 350z on a 45 degree angle road facing to the left), the 3rd blade is a close up pic of the pic of the 350z doing the drift that is on most boxes on most sites, but it is zoomed in some. The last blade is a pic of a bumber point of view mid way around a corner sortof. All the pics have a very nice red/orange/yellow flag in the background(same as the boxarts)and the picks with the car on a sort of track-like place are the same(ie no trees,railings etc, just the road, car and flag design). The 1st pic is just...:drool:

i wish there was a pic of the 1st blade somewhere as i would love it on my deskyot as the background.

PS. sorry if that's a bit hard to read it's 4:04am and i have only had about 12hrs sleep since wednesday morning...

What's the attraction with buying the wheel? I know it's officially supported in FM2 and all, but I just don't see the attraction of spending $150 for a wheel that doesn't even have 900º steering.

The new vid is pretty impressive . I've seen the c6r at an american le mans race and it sounds pretty accurate. The glowing rotors effect is just a bit too dramatic. I've watched for that by the braking zones at the end of limerocks straight and I could see a faint glow at the fronts and only really at the end of the day when the sun was lower. But anyway it still looks pretty cool ..


Duck I don't think race cars even use 900 degrees of wheel rotation.
 
And the ms wheel has what , like 540 or something? I wonder if they animated hand over hand shuffle at full lock, video does show some steering input from driver but I can;t tell.
 
it has no incar view? i have the G25, wich is one of the reasons i feel like i "need: the microsoft wheel. Once you youve used a wheel it's is no fun at all without one...

If it is a LCD and it is running at 60 Hz, while having 1080p selected from the Xbox 360, then just to let you know the image will get distorted when it is in fully motion.
 
well, the game as a "canopy" view... i love driving in that view. Toca Racer was the best for that, hopefully FM2 will rock too.

After using the DFP for so long for GT 3&4, I just prefer a wheel and pedals. I don't enjoy steering with the analog sticks very much, and I can't stand using the triggers for brake/accel. The X button has no sensitivity, so when I play driving games on 360, it's full throttle or nothing when TCS is off (Always). I figure the wheel will be good for GTR and that DIRT game coming out too, along with PGR3 & TDU, and can be used on the PC if I feel like it so it should get lots of use. 540 degress of rotation is plenty for me. 900 is overrated IMO, as it rarely gets used aside from street cars in uber tight turns such as autocross hairpins anyway. The only turns in all of GT4 that used more than 540 are one some rally courses, a couple of turns on Citti di Aria, and one on that other urban rally track (I forget the name). It does add to the authenticity of the game but personally I'll never miss it.
 
The 3 screen set up is awesome, seeing the wings out of the side views nd watching the cars move up along side you adds a whole new dimension to the game, if the game finally ships with any G25 support and actually delvers on the game engine (i do already have the microsoft wheel, but thus far am unimpressed with its performance and support, but maybe Forza2 will make good use of it), id be seriously tempted to rig up my own set up.
Im in the market for some new visual hardware, was considering a 52 inch Sony, to put the xbox360 and PS3 on, but might leave the PS3 and 360 in the lounge, and go with a combo of smaller multi monitors and some new 360s to fit around my cockpit wheel setup, im sure i could do it for less than the cash for the 52inch!:) (any one now how you link the 360s together for this?)
This would tide me over till GT5 arrives, then i might go back and get the 52inch for GT5, it will be much cheaper then
 
GTXLR: i think you just yuse the link cable to hook them up, but i'm not to sure.

CFM: i can see were your coming from about the 900 degrees thing(monaco hairpin;)) and i completely agree with you, UNTIL it comes to drifting. For normal racing i like the 540- degrees but for when it comes to cruising(TDU, sometimes in GT) i like the 900, and for drifting the 900 is a must have. After buying my DFP, and since my G25 i can't drift with anything but. Everything else is just to twitchy and it makes it so much harder to get nice lines, and maintain a smooth drift as it is very hard to do little minute steering adjustments mid corner(i don't use handbrake for midcorner adjustments, and the throttle can change my speed a bit to mutch in tight corners).
That's just my personal opinion, but ye...

anyway i really hope we get G25/DFP support some where down the line on 360(if not fir forza 2 it is a must have for GTR, sepecially the clutch).

Oh, so it's 540º? That's good.
 
Where's everyone getting 540 degrees from? Sadly, it's actually only 240.

I won't even think of getting this wheel until it's less than $100.
