According to a Gamespot video interview from october and the official XBOX site
www.xbox.com, the release date is february 2005.
I have not seen any info about a release date later than february until now.

Very impressive car list Amar. Thanks for posting. I agree with you, I really hope the game is better than the demo. It sure looks like a great game and I am sure I will buy it but wow the demo blows. 👎

May i know what you didn't like about the demo ? I though it showed a game with a great potential. The car physic was spot on if you ask me and just need a few tweak. As far as graphics are concern, Laguna Seca is pretty bland track in real life so i think the demo was an accurate representation of the track.
You guys keep forgetting the demo is at least 6 month old.

I already posted why I think the demo sucks in the review of the forza demo disk. No need to discuss it again.Symtex

well said...i think that either make the damage realistic or not at all. and if u are a great driver, u never get to "enjoy" this feature anyway...

I'd love damage in gt4 and it's great forza has it but honestly, forza's damage isn't all that amazing. We should get to a point in racing were hitting a wall at 50mph should mean game over. I have been playing the latest gtr demo lately, trying to master the lister and what not. I believe the demo I have doesn't do damage or maybe I haven't found the option but anyway, I have seen gtr trailers, some with damage being shown and I was not impressed with the damage at all. Hopefully next gen racers will have real damage.

This is true, this is very, very true. Forza is looking like a bargin bin buy. The demo was poor and I won't be touching it a good 6-8 months after release, then if I want to try out the full game, and thats a big 'IF'... I can pick it up on the cheap for a £10.

But I hope you disagree with the part where he stated "GT4 will be the game that follows the rest of the pack." I totally disagree with him. GT4 will be the LEADER of the pack (more specifically the PS2, XBOX pack) because it's obviously the most advanced.
cobragtImagine crashing in a lmp car in gt5 on the nurbFire will have to be involve and what about the driver? Omg, gt5 has to be M rated!!!!
what made you think PD will do better with car damage ? If you have read the CVG Forza interview this week, Microsoft had more idea for Forza that they could implement. The scope of what they're trying to achieve is greater then what the first installement will have.
With all next-generation console, we will see tremendous improvement in all aspect. Not just Playstation 3 but with Xbox next and Nintendo Revolution.
I have the Forza demo. I haven't spent a lot of time with it, because I rented Burnout 3. (Awesome Game)
Anyway Pros:
-Damage model is neat. I like how the paint rubs off on barriers when you hit them.
-The customisation looks pretty cool.
-Graphics look more surrealistic than realistic. The graphics are good, but not as realistic as those in even GT3. This is not so much a technical limitation as a chosen art style. I really like the glare effect the sun has on the cars for some reason.
-Engine sounds are excellent as are the other sound effects.
-The menu music in the demo is catchy. Custom soundtracks will give Forza a leg up on the competition for sure.
Cons:
-I don't like the Controller S for driving games. I know it's not an actual con per se, but it does negatively affect my opinion.
-I'm not a big fan of any of the camera angles in the demo.
-Is it possible to drift in this game? It seems impossible to turn while braking. (I notice no difference with or without ABS.
All in all, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna buy Forza when I'm done with GT4. Looks like a solid addition to the XBOX racing scene.

Yes you can easily drift on the demo. I actually thought about making some videos of drifting just to get me interrested more in the demo but I doubt i will waste my time with it. You have to turn the traction and stability off to do it.capnlarge
Re: The Downloadable Content Debate
Long time listener, first time poster. As far as that interview goes, it sounded like he was referring less to Downloadable Cars and Tracks but more to a much more intriguing possibility: to upload your car and have more experienced players tune it for you. For someone like myself, who loves playing games like this but has very little real world car tuning experience, this option seems invaluable. Feel free to call it a total n00b feature, but it seems like great way for someone to get closer to abandoning their n00b tendencies and actually figuring out how this stuff works first hand under the guidance of someone who knows more than you. The online package for Forza seems a lot more interested in building a gaming community than offering up a new car for a few bucks every month.
That being said, I'm getting both games whenever they come out. I'm partial to XBL, so I'm not too worried about GT4 being offline only, as that will be the permanent status of my PS2 anyway.

forza will be the game for you then code. I love the 700 cars 👍 Can't wait to drive a 74 2002 bmw. I learned how to drive with that car so I want to recreate the experience in gt4code_kevThat's if PD can even be bothered
"oh no dear fellow, it's not a racing or a crashing sim! It's a driving sim"
While I like having 700 cars etc, I would prefer 300 decent cars, and amazing crash damage.
