Bugger - I knew their was a reason why I turned right out the subdivision instead of left this morning - by the time I got to the traffic light I was on autopilot again and headed off to the clients site :P

doh... ;)

I guess I have to try remember to make a detour by GameStop on the way home to pickup my pre-order copy ;)

[gis]

still got 10 days to go here in the UK stupid different release dates :x

I assume that you will still have alittle time to provide us a first hand memeber review right? :D

[vexor]

I've looked around here in vancouver at Best Buy and Futureshop and they also say the 31st.... dam 2 more days

[Zot09]

I was told that the game comes out today, but when I called the Gamestop I pre-ordered the game at, they said it comes in tomorrow...weird...

[MUS911]

Even in Dubai, it will be available on the 31st !!!

[666fast]

I was told that the game comes out today, but when I called the Gamestop I pre-ordered the game at, they said it comes in tomorrow...weird...

Yup, i found out the hard way. Went to 3 different stores before I was finally told it won't be out untill tomorrow.

What gives? CD's, DVD's, Games etc have always come out on Tuesdays. Douchebags. I was looking forward to it all day long.

[FoxFour]

Just got my phone message from GameStop, telling me that my pre-order copy will be available on the 30th (tomorrow)

[RC45]

I have read over the Prima Guide now, and it really is just Forza 1.5, so the actual game play better be unbelievably good.. (compared to the only 3 lap track of the demo) because the assets really seem like worked over Forza 1 assets, the track list seems a little thin, and there are way too many Japanese tuner cars.

I am trying to temper my excitement, but the M$ Wireless wheel is the big let down.

At least with other games/platforms using the G25 if the game kinda sucks, just turn up the Force Feedback and enjoy the semi-realistic steering/wheel/pedal setup ;)

Yeah I am cynical, but forfucksakes man, Turn 10 had almost 2 years to get this game right, and I don't think they did :P

p.s. It also looks like GM was one of the only manufacturers not willing to allow the Prima Game Guide to include "likenesses" of their cars.. not a single GM product pictured in the guide book :(

Not that it matters anymore, since it's 9 pm PAC time, but my GS told me that the game is being released tomorrow because of the holiday. They said they already had their copies but they weren't allowed to sell any until 8 AM tomorrow.

[Pokiou]

its out here tomorrow :d

but i dont get paid till next week :/ stupid pay ...

[twboy1999]

i just got it

so far, i havnt driven any fast car yet.. mostly C class and lower, so the little review i have so far is base on that

i just started career moded, and i have played around 15 events (not race).. each event consist of 3-4 races

the AI is very good, is very hard to get first place on the hard setting, and for nomal, it is still very competitive, but you can get 1st place if you know a little bout sim racing games.,.

graphic are prettty nice... but some of teh car's wheel looks retarded

camera angle; the bumper camera angle is simply 2 low to use, other wise i would love to use that angle just like GT series.

each car does drive very different


now here are couple of flaws IMO, the gravel/grass on the track is simply fuck up..
is nice we get punish for going off road like real life, or GT series, slow you down, but for FORZA2 , oh nooo, it doestn slow you down, it literally almost stoped you.. often when i am on the last lap of the race, i get off the track a little, and boom, u wasted you time and gotta restart again

also, this games simply 4 wheel drift 2 easily.. if u let off your brake or gas pedal and just turn,, the car 4 wheel drift.. at least the cars i used so far


and so far all the events i been playing,, keep on repeating the same damn tracks...


i will give more impression once i play more

[RC45]

So-so game made terrible by the worst replay camera angles ever seen in any game - since Forza 1.

WTF?

Are Turn10 this clueless?

The game is nice, the modding is nice.. the AI is nice the races are nice, the painting is nice...

..but youcannot watch a decent replay of the aciton.

What cul dhave been a 7/10 is a 4/10.

It really is a pity, as I hade really high hopes for the title.

Oh well.

[novass]

I preordered the game and its sittin at the store but I don't have time to go pick it up and won't until tomorrow :(

I don't really care about the replay aspect of the game as I hardly every watch them, though I do agree that the angles used (at least on the demo) are shitty. As long as the game is fun to play, looks nice, has a nice assortment of cars and the modding is good...I will be happy. I'll find out tomorrow.

[gis]

..but youcannot watch a decent replay of the aciton.

What cul dhave been a 7/10 is a 4/10.


lol you are giving it 4/10,dropping it 3 points when you basically say everything is nice about the game,simply because you dont like the replay camera? :P

i dunno about everyone else but i aint buying forza 2 hoping it has a good replay camera,lol :lol: :wink:

[acmarttin]

RC must have been raped by Forza 1 in a dark alley 2 years ago because I really don't know why he's so critical of this game.

Is it a 10? Of fucking course not.

But a 4? Go rent "Tokyo X-Treme Racers" and re-evaluate your opinion (It got a 3.5)


I've been playing it a little and I feel like after all the waiting I'm pretty well satisfied. There's a pretty heavy list of cars I'd like to see in the game that aren't.

I'm going to say it's the best racer out for 360 right now. I've played the major racing titles (major in my opinion - hey I'm a gamer since 86) and I feel like even though it's not as polished as PGR3 it really adds a lot of "actual racing" feel to the genre.

It's not a perfect simulation. But nobody has made a truly perfect video game yet.

Totally worth buying if you're a gamer and a car fan like me.

Can't say the wheel is worth buying. I've never played racing games with a wheel because I've never really had a good place to put one besides my lap. And that sucks.

[RC45]

I never said I never bought it.

But the facts are the things they could have fixed they didn't.

And the stuff they did fix is not that great for a supposed "next generation" game.

The game is not really an improvement over Forza 1.

I spent 2 hours this evening relaxing with it - and the they again took on more than they should have - the result is lots of neat features that are not really polished - even the features from Forza 1 that should have been featured.

And to me, watching an exciting replay in single player is at least 30% of the fun of any game.

This is the reason we all enjoy WATCHINGmotor racing - and not just from in-car or "floating CG" cameras ;)

The model assets are not fantastic and the graphics is NOT "next gen".

It is a great game, and by 2002 or 2003 standard is an aweseom 9/10 - but in the terms of 2007 it is not a 9 by any stretch of the imagination ;)

[5vz-fe]

RC, is there any improvement in the accuracy for the NS? The model in Forza 1 is pure crap compared to the one in GT4.

[vexor]

yay, it came out 1 day before i thought it would come out here in Vancouver

first impressions.. looks like Forza 1.6

the graphics look a bit more polished over the first game but not really "out there"

sound is amazing

physics is almost 100% real

menu and game features are pretty cool and the new car upgrading system is very nice

as for the replays... 100% agree with RC... they're pure crap

[RC45]

RC, is there any improvement in the accuracy for the NS? The model in Forza 1 is pure crap compared to the one in GT4.

I didn't want to say anything about the C5 Z06 around the Northloop for fear people may think I have a negative view of FM2 ;)

I guess the C5 they used as a chassis model must have had noodles for anti-roll bars, cuz I don't experience as much off throttle oversteer in a straight line as the modelled into it :P

Amd the NS sort of looks like a reworked FM1 asset... not up to GT4 or even Enthusia spec.. and for the love of everything that is precious, why they insist n the flying start on the main straight is beyond belief.

The track seems too wide in some places, and they probably did this to cater for online racing which is a pity.

I must say they addition of different layouts on Tsukuba was interesting and fun though.

[5vz-fe]

It's indeed a pity. The things that sway me into buying a console for a game is usually:

- Steering
- Track Accuracy
- AI
- Replay
- Online Game Play

Seems like Forza failed 3 out of 5.....I guess that's no XBox 360 for me. :|

[RC45]

Try it out at a GameStop or something to be sure - I am not as dissapointed with FM2 as I was with PGR3 ;)

[twboy1999]

i went online to play 2 games..

bunch of jackass online,, they are trying wreck you by purpose, and runing the game

anyone wanna play online? jabbas world forza2 tournament?????

[666fast]

Spent the last 4 hours playing the game.

The game isn't perfect, but it's a lot of fun. The gaphics are darn good, but there are some flaws. Some of the cars have jaggies but it could be my screen. I might have to fiddle with the settings.

Some car models are not right, some of the wheels look deformed, some of the real tracks aren't correct either. Leguna Seca should be a heck of a lot wider.

Yes, the replays do suck. I watched half of one and probably won't watch another unless something crazy happens.

The physics seem decent enough. Not so realistic that it's a bear to drive, but no so dumbed down a 3 year old has a chance at kicking your ass.

I reallly like the grass/dirt effects on the car. You put a tire off the track, you'll feel it pull you in, but no so much you don't have a chance at getting out. It's not a magnet like it was in PGR3. Grass will slow you a bit and dirt will really slow you down.

I don't think the sounds are actual exhaust notes. Some of them really don't seem right. Although, they still sound decent enough.

I'd give it a 8/10. It's a lot of fun, but it's not perfect. I'm not dissapointed, but it didn't quite fully live up to it's hype. Overall, a must have if you like racing games and have a 360. If you don't have a 360, play it first, then decide to buy or not.


Also, Solstice + LS7 = :D

Yeah it's a combo of jackasses and lag.

That's the thorn in online racing's mighty shoe. Only like 1% of the people that are playing online are actually sensitive to how real races are conducted, track courtesy, etc.

Lots of bored 13 year old kids.


AAAAANYWAY. I'd love to start a JW racing league with people I just have to find a way to link my XBOX to my modem without buying the $100 wireless router.

[RC45]

Talk about lag... did all y'all notice the long load times - and the hesitation and stuttering in many menus.

I thought it was pretty funny and telling about how close to deadline they worked - as I popped in the disc, a patch for Forza 2 was downloaded :P hehe

[acmarttin]

Notice to Forza 2 Gamers!


I've caught wind of many, many reports on gamefaqs.com that Forza 2 is crashing a lot of XBox 360 units.

This is affecting mostly older boxes except one person with a brand new elite said that Forza 2 gave his box the red lights o' death.

Precautions that are suggested to prevent your box from crashing are to keep your Xbox in a cool and dry environment. Humidity, I'm reading, is bad for the unit. Also keep the power brick (the thing attached to the power cord) cool, and off of carpet or anything that could block cooling vents on the brick and insulate it. If the power brick overheats, the unit overheats as well.


I just wanted to give everyone a heads up because to me, buying a new XBox would be a big hit to the 'ol budget.

Bingo...

The first time EVER our XBox360 has locked up. (well not the XBox itslef, but just the game - I could still get to the Dashboard and restart the box)

Ever.

I don't think this piece of software was reday fo r release.. it seems to be unstable ;)

[twboy1999]

yeah, the load time is a bitch

[novass]

So I have just played this game for a few hours and I think I will give it a 7/10. Its not perfect, but its fun. It is definitely not "Forza 2" but more like "Forza 1.5" like everyone else has been saying.

Whats up with the 250 GTO? They did this in Forza 1 and I was sure they were going to correct it. Seriously, who thinks of that body style when they think of 250 GTO? Ferrari made a GTO that looked like that, but thats certainly not "THE" GTO IMO

Also, I haven't unlocked the 911 Turbo yet, but from the ghost image, it looks like the damn thing is sittin on 12" wheels. Anyone unlock it yet? Is it really like that?

[acmarttin]

I have a 997 turbo and the wheels seemed okay to me. I put aftermarket wheels on all my cars though because most of them can save you 30 - 40 lbs. And I'm into that nitty gritty details stuff.

[RC45]

Pit stops are really child-like

Many stutters and glitches especially in menus - and 3 lockups while driving.

All game software lockups, as the XBox360 remains controllable via Dashboard OS.

Some handling physics routines appear to be locking up at times and the result is spin outs or tyres going off as youtravel in a straight line off throttle.

This is a "fun" game, but not a polished product - shame on the team management for letting this title go in this state.

It's a pity - because ,this title if polished, would be the console racing game - but it's not, so it's not ;)

Just look out for that - I've been reading that if you've got a system that's freezing then you're not far away from the 3 red lights.

Yeah it's Forza 2's fault but there have been other games doing this to XBox units as well - MLB 2k7, C&C Tiberium Wars

According to what I've read the freezing comes from a perfect storm of hardware overheating and software running the machine too hard.

[RC45]

^^^ Any further info on this?

EDIT:

http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/15/178846/ShowThread.aspx

15 pages of complaints about this shit .. ;)

Vindication I guess... these cocksuckers have been so holier-than-thou about the the title pre-launch and banned anyone not hero-worshippign Turn10 and Forza 2 :P

Now we see this.

Karma perhaps? :P

[acmarttin]

Yeah I guess if you build a game like Forza 2 up to be the GTHD for XBOX 360 you've got big boots to fill.

The info about the infamous 3 red lights of death I've picked up across various boards on gamefaqs.com

The games I play I check out the boards of and I've seen this sort of thing before - so I guess with Forza it's 100% Microsoft's fault.

The advice on how to cool your system is pretty standard. Obviously you can take greater lengths (I have a 19'' house fan blowing into my entertainment center) to make sure nothing overheats. I've been pretty picky about how well ventilated my box and power brick are and, knock on wood, I haven't had any freeze ups, red lights, or breakdowns.

The longest I've played Forza 2 in one sitting was probably 3-4 hours. But I've probably played 8 or so hours total by now. Like I've got nothing better to do.

-edit- I just checked out that link you posted and it sounds like a lot of these people are claiming their boxes are well ventilated...so I dunno....

[MidEngine4Life]

Only things i can complain about are the lack of an interior view, lack of a Fiero, and there is an error when i try to upload my photos. Other than that Ive been having lots of fun with it. No lag, glitches or crashes on my first gen 360.

Edit: Well even though it said error apparently it still uploaded my picture. I played it for a few hours the day I got it then went to bed. This is currently the fastest car I own. My suped up 944

[MUS911]

finally i got it, i cant believe that i spent more than 4 hours playing!

i really loved it !

[T-Bird]

what I don'tlike is the fact that all your bonus cars are only worth 100cr to sell.

[vexor]

^^ auction house, u might get lucky and some ppl will start a bidding war

[TNT]

yeah i hate that auction house. its like a retarded ebay. but i am really enjoying playing the game online. i haven't found to many idiots that just want to play bumper cars.

[twboy1999]

this game keep on freezing

is really pissing me off

[MUS911]

im playing the game with the old Xbox 360 steering wheel.
the one with the gear shift knob.... Just WoW.

[acmarttin]

I think it's cute that on their troubleshooting forum they anticipated people would need the most help setting up a 3-screen display.

Fuck me, were they wrong!

They've even got a locked thread from Turn 10 promising people that Forza 2 won't break your x-box. I'm not so sure about that...

I still haven't frozen up yet but I'm still annoyed that Turn 10 rushed the balls off of this game. I wouldn't count on any downloadable content until they figure out how to make the game work.

i havnt bought it yet.. I have decided to wait for about 1-2 month before i purchase a buggy arse game like this..

Till then its Test Drive for me !

With a key "bought" from Jabba - but not yet paid for... or has that been taken care of?

i dont know i transfered money to the mentioned account he gave me with recipet number but he hasnt got it.. i asked the bank to look into it AGAIN .. which is silly.. all i did was a bank transfer.. OH and i cant get paypal to work.. worlds crapest system ... no such thing as simple... if i could pay with my credit card to jabba.. i think that would be better (just got my acredit card :P )

[novass]

I havent had any problems with the game...yet at least, fingers crossed.

What level is everyone at? I just got to level 26 8)

[MidEngine4Life]

No problems here. Sorry to hear you guys are having problems. Im level 16. Only played it the day I got it, played it a long time though. I just usually dont play games till my days off, which would be tomorrow =)

[twboy1999]

i am level 26 as well


people online are 2 fast

A scan or a photo of the transfer documents would be great, so that I can see where your money went. BTW, sure you can pay by credit card (I have a credit card terminal here) so if you PM me your card details then you can pay for the key that way.

Playing on hard with no line, abs on, traction on, stability off, manual, simulation damage

Try traction off and stability on for the really tricky cars.. thats a good compromise of "help"

[T-Bird]

Try traction off and stability on for the really tricky cars.. thats a good compromise of "help"

and at the point that you are driving cars that insane the pay-off is still large enough that the loss from using the Stability isn't that bad. right now I have everything off ai medium and manual. Lvl21

I used the Tommy Kaira Skyline that I got from some other race. It started off as a B class which allowed me to do all the suspension, brakes, etc and also some performance and weight changes. It wasn't the Z06 I had to worry about in my race but rather the Ford GT that kept giving me problems, but I think all the other cars took more than one pit stop and I only took one. On the class restricted races I usually use a lower class then modify it as far as I can, its worked so far for me.

Im now at level 31 :D

[acmarttin]

Thanks for the advice, guys.

I ended up trying RC's tip along with a different car and I managed to win it about 15 secs. ahead of that pesky P. Miller

I used my 911 Turbo (997) because I seem to drive really well with 4wd vehicles in this game. So, novass, your advice of using the skyline would have probably worked for me too!

I just had to make a few tweaks to bring it up to a PI similar to the Z06 and it was smooth sailing from there.

My GamerTag is the same as my JW screen name but I haven't renewed my gold subscription yet.

[novass]

^ Ya I have noticed that it works well to drive the AWD cars in the endurance races cause you don't notice tire wear as much.

I am having a bitch of a time now with the R4 endurance race. The damn AI cars keep running into me and breakin my shit. :x I was doing well on one try, out in front, lap 15, go into a turn and another car bumps me in the back and spins me out in front of another car which ran right into me. Is it just me, or do the AI cars feels like tanks when you bump against them? It seems like every time there is contact, I end up losing regardless of where the contact was.

I let my Gold membership expire cause I didn't use it. I only have Silver right now but my gamertag is Quilo63.

[acmarttin]

Yeah I've noticed that too. I wonder if it's a safety precaution they had to implement to keep the other cars from taking each other out :D

I remember watching a video that the Forza team put out maybe a half year ago that was talking about all of the "Great Stuff" they were putting in the game and they were talking about debugging the AI - one of the things the guy in the video mentioned was watching the AI race and thinking "now why in the hell did he do that?"

I've had a few of those moments myself. One time on the New York City track, at that first real turn after the loooong straight one of my competitors took the turn too tight and hit the wall. Then on my next lap, he was still there, just backing up, and then going forward into the wall again. I think he finally got out of that jam around lap 5 or so. It was pretty funny.

[novass]

^ LOL I have definitely seen the AI cars do some stupid stuff, it just usually has me involved in it. On another endurance race, I was about to pit with another car next to me and a couple of car lengths ahead so I didn't think he was going to pit and I was flying in there, then he slammed on his brakes swerving in front of me and ran me into the wall. Jerk!

Oh well, its still a fun game.

[bmagni]

theres no oval test track ?? WTF ?!?!?!

[RC45]

BTW, who is progressing without buying any extra cars?

I am trying to progress without buying any cars - just using prize cars where possible.

I think other than the IS300 I started out with and the C5 Z we bought for fun, all the rest are prize cars.

Level 27 so far.

[bmagni]

I only have bought an E46 M3 and a lotus exige... but you'll have to end up buying cars anyway...

btw isn't there anyone intrested in sending me a 360 CS ?? I bought the regular version of the game and I didn't know there was gonna be a special edition with some extra cars...

[RC45]

There's a special edition?

Oh yeah - that's right... only some places in the world get that version of the game.

[bmagni]

so Mexico got it and the US didn't ? thats pretty wierd.

[vexor]

^^^ Canada didn't get it, at least not in my area

I'm also buying every car I can with the money I have, trying to get those non rewarding yet mentally rewarding achievements

and if anyone has any other bonus cars from the special edition of the game, i'd like to buy them too.

lvl 39 :wink: :P

[vexor]

lvl 41 :P :D

hey, has anyone noticed how drafting doesn't work at all?

I just did a few of the factory spec races with the F430 and at the start when we all launch, i matched my revs and shift points with the comps and yet I couldn't catch up to him even with an almost full draft... not even by one meter.... wtf???

[acmarttin]

I've definitely been buying cars. I use prize cars in series that I don't really care about, like recently in the integra cup. But I'm a Forza big spender for sure. Right now I've got about 800k in the bank because I'm waiting to get to level 34 so I can buy a Carerra GT. 31 right now...I haven't had the time since the 8 hours I played after launch :P

[RC45]

Anyone tried changing regions?

It costs $100,000 - and it seems you get the local "region" discount. So by making the trip to another rgion with a bunch of cash, you can buy cars at discount.

Anyone tried changing regions?

I didn't know you could do that. I was too impatient when I first fired up the game and when it asked me for a region I though it was asking me where I was LOL I thought the stupid Xbox should know that by now, but I chose USA regardless. I will try to switch to the European region now so I can unlock some more Porsches :D

Beware!!!

It's $100G to go there.. but $500G to come back :(

I am still stuck over there eating sauerkraut and drinking cheap French wine ;)

Oh - and I had the first dreaed "Disk Is Dirty: Cannot be Read" or some such crap errors.

Looks like Forza2 is slowly killing the XBox360.

From what I read online, next will be the 3 red lights then I will have to send it in for repairs and it will never be the same again.

:(

Man it's really insulting how Turn 10 is just totally ignoring this issue. RC, that thread you posted on launch day is now 53 pages and growing. But not a word from Turn 10.

Some joker named Skate Zilla keeps insisting that it's the XBOX's fault and not Forza 2, but everyone on there is saying that other games still work - just not FM2.

I've been banging the hell out of my desk (made of wood) harder, and harder every single day because I still haven't had a freeze, anomaly, anything....

This is f'n weird.

AND I pay too much for Asian cars :lol:

Reading somehting like this after they kept banning me over there is sorta poetic justice ;)


Re: Freezing, Missing Textures, Objects, and Crashing - POST ONLY INFO Here.
New breaking info!!! Microsoft tech support said and I quote "Turn 10 sucks at following directions" He also said they are aware of the problem and a working on a fix. I think T10 didn't read there memo about the new Dashboard specs and it mucked up many a system, the dude on tech support told me that to fix the issue they woud, most likely: replace my DVD Drive(I think part of the problem is the firmware on the older DVD rom drives) Flash the entire system(bios update I guess) and send it back to me with some newer fans and stuff(not part of the fix just standard). He couldn't tell me any details about the actual problem and I don't think he was supposed to let the T10 comment slip, but it lets you know that Mircosoft is not happy with T10 about this.

While I still think that FM2 is the best racer available to 360 customers. What can I say? You called it!

I so wanted FM2 to be GTHD/GTR2/GT Legends/PGR4 all rolled into one... But we knew they had promised too much.. instead of making 4 versions of that fantasy track, why not Road America of something ;)

[twboy1999]

i am level 34 now :D

[acmarttin]

Road America is my favorite track and I'm really mad that it isn't in FM2, especially since it WAS in Forza 1. I spent age 5-18 in Sheboygan, WI which is like 20 minutes away from RA.

Saw lots of cool C.A.R.T. , AMA Superbike, Classic GT, and American LeMans races there.

If you are bored, watch the credits, they say thanks to Road America. So, I guess at some point we might get it as downloadable content.

I played it at somebody's house and he had to get me out with a stick!

Might even get myself a Xbox 360, I like the game that much! :D

[Pokiou]

i haven't bought the game yet. dont know if i want to.. :(...forza 1 was soooooo good im scared they might have ruined it with this.

[acmarttin]

If you've already got a 360 I'd say you might as well get it considering you're already a car fan. With the exception of the Nurburgring on PGR3, this is the first racer to come out for 360 with real world circuits and such.

I own both TDU and PGR3 and I think Forza 2 is much better than those two.

[Pokiou]

can you take some screen shots of the Nurburgring ?? i wanna see how it looks.

yeah, it's mayor BS. Why not being able to gift it if you don't even have the chance to buy the LE... I still can buy one and send it to you... :roll:

[vexor]

yay, I finished the game..... now I just need 2.4 million credits to get those useless and expensive race cars that all look the same except for the stickers... what a waste
