my first impressions of the demo - ****IN AWESOME!!!!!
only thing i will say is that i am disappointed that there's only 1 track. i would have liked to throw the C6.R round Sebring or Road Altlanta.
But apart from that, great selection of cars. i've driven the mustang gt, c6.r, porsche gt1 and f430. all sound great and drive great!

As this forum is so great at organising those threads where people have to post there best times on GT4 e.g
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=94320
would it be possible to do this for the Forza 2 demo?đź‘Ť
if so that would be great as people at Gtplanet know how to do these really well

Just had a go during my lunch and this game is awesome. Certainly alot of fun to be had although the AI leaves somethign to be desired! Coming down the straight an AI car decided to try and push me off the track, HELLO THERES A CAR HERE!
Anyway i decided to see what the damage was like and it seems you cannot rip off parts of your car but you can destroy the AI's. After a couple of mins crashing the ferrari it looked like this. Sorry for the quality but i dont have a HD TV and i was taken on a digital camera. Also looks like a fair amount of youtube compression had been included for free.

I don't drive, so I can't compare for realism, but it's pretty good...
Each car is quite unique, you feel the weight of the steering (which isn't instant, which makes it more real), and some of the cars do slide around quite a bit - the SLR in particular. Some cars are quite unforgiving too, so you have to be on your toes. If you clip the grass and end up spinning, it's very hard to come out of it - if at all possible, even with TSC on.
The sound is great coming from the cars - quite realistic. The opponent's cars were very loud at first, but there is now an option to turn that down in the menus, as I was stuck with it in Forza 1.
The graphics are great. A bit zig-zaggy here and there, but a good improvement over PGR3. The damage is a little disappointing, as from Spec's video above. Parts of the car would stay intact even though it has been bashed to death! No mechanical parts damage either. I suppose all of this will be available in the actual game.

I feel for ya man.man im still at 2% after 1hr and 30mins
Agreed.
Yes.
The track is Mugello. Don't know if you can race in reverse.
Looking at 43% after 5 minutes.

Mugello track - short version. Famous Italian track. Short version has been made for the Forza from the existing service-road since it's not used for real-life racing as I know.

I've had a couple of goes before I get back on with work and it's definitely better than FM1. The handling still isn't upto Gran Turismo standards yet imo, but it's definitely better than FM1. The graphics, they're good, the damage is nothing spectacular. You can rip bumpers off your cars and the opponents cars, I knocked the front bumbper of a Sagars in a head on crash to see how far you ould go. But the damage isn't mechanical in the demo, it's fixed on a low setting. It didn't take long to download either, about 12-13 mins for me. The problem I have wih the handling, is the sliding. In FM1 it was worse, but it still doesn't feel right in thast area imo.

OK, 15-minute quickie impressions from me:
The graphics make my eyes hurt. The lighting is flat, the cars don't look very accurate, and the backgrounds just look like something from a PS2 game. The only savior is the 60fps and the detail to things (like glowing brakes). Everything else in general looks poor. A one and a half year old launch game (PGR3) puts this to shame. I know I'm spoiled by GTHD and its photorealistic car models, but still. Forza 2 should look better than what we're seeing after all the delays.
The car selection is definitely very generous for a demo. And with about 300 cars in the final release, there's no room for griping.
AI? I don't think it's perfect, but it's good. They're competitive, and when I try to pass on the inside line, they don't clobber you into the sand. I played a game of chicken with it just for fun, and whenever I looked like I was going to wreck into them, they moved away. Of course, the AI has its quirks, but it's good for what it is.
With the damage, at this point, it's disappointing. But we're probably using a lower level of "realisticness", so I'm not commenting on this any further.
The physics seem pretty good. Like Dave said, I didn't care for the sliding... but turning off the driving aids makes anyone be careful. You go gung-ho into a corner, and you'll end up in the wall. Try and slam on the gas at the beginning of a race, and you'll lose control. Ram into an opponent, and you'll find yourself in the kitty litter.
Now, we haven't seen the stuff that are the big selling points (online community and customization), so I'm not writing this off. Will I buy it on the day it comes out? Definitely. Will it be in the top 5 games for me this year? No. Overall, the game seems like a good game to hold us off for GT5, but it's definitely not going to take the crown.

15 mins into the demo. I'm surprisingly pleased with it. I was expecting a lot worst so this is cool. The controller Mapping is aweful but its only locked for the demo, so i can't complain behond that. who Shifts up/down with X/B? seriously.
The graphics are good, to Xbox360 Standards. Unfortunately, they went the 'PGR3' way instead of GT way (more natural lighting and stuff) so its a bit of a turnoff for me. Everything's too "HD Bright" everywhere. But again, doesn't matter that much.
AI's a bit messy at times. I hate that they basically ram you off the track if you're in their line. But if their' in yours, they'll most likely be respectful so that's cool.
The Sounds are VERY GOOD. I just tried the demo on headphones for now, and with a few tweaks on the Audio dep. the cars are sublime. I cannot wait to play this on my 3k system at home! WoohoO!
Car handling is surprising as well. I've had a lot of fun oversteering and keeping control of the car in the curves. I think they mastered the suspension and tire grip well. I really feel like the tires make a difference in the game (as advertised). It'll be fun to see what happens when warm/cold tires and stuff.
Overall, i've enjoyed my 15 mins of this demo. I'll play some more tonight!

Well TestDriveUnlimited at least puts it on Y/B which makes more sens to me. But my main configuration is "Right/Left Triggers" for shifters, Accel/Brake with Right Analogue Stick. This gives you way more control. Although this is reminescent of GT4; perhaps with the 360 controller using the shoulders would be better. I'll have to try when the game comes out.

I think people are forgetting that this demo isn't the exact version we'll be seeing in three weeks, but whatever. Impressions:
- Physics seems all together better
- Car list is great
- Sounds are good
- Graphics look decent (at 720p), but not perfect
- Progressive throttle control is spot-on!
I spent some time in the Sagaris without any aids (okay, I used the braking line and ABS), and I damn-near killed myself. I'm looking forward to being a TVR-driving madman on the interwebs very soon!

- And they look better
- Cheaper too
the demo disappointing.
The graphics leave alot to be desired and the gameplay is lacking a bit also. Its as if the games not correctly calibrated with the controller. Push 3 quarters down on the brake and the brakes automatically lock or the ABS kicks in.
I preffered forza 1 to this demo, so lets hope the final version of Forza two will be much better.

The demo is great! Only thing I don't like is the graphics! It has too much brightness and shining around the car. The physics are superb! You can actually drift a stock car or grip. The engine sounds are also good. The damage sound, tire sound looks real. Man, the frame rate is fluid like water, damn. Overall, I wil buy the final version for sure!

This demo was supposedly going to be released in February, but Microsoft pushed it back (this is what I heard from a buddy of mine, so I don't know it's factuality). It's only a very basic rundown of the game, and shouldn't be held as a true representation of what you'll get out of the full version. My favorite part about the game is the choice of no ABS. It REALLY makes the driving physics quite an enjoyable task to drive with.
