A guy on another forum I visit did some work on Forza. He's calling it Forza 1.5.

The reason stuff is being left out is due to time contraints. They've greatly underestimated the amount of work that was needed and can't push the game back any further. So, they strip stuff out.

Sucks wang, but oh well, I'll still be buying it.

^^ So instead of delaying the full game they are stripping it to keep on schedule..

So I guess this explains the reason why they will still use physics engine from Forza 1 eh? That sucks on their part. They should have thought twice before burlting their mouths just like damn PD. Oh well I wont be buying as I dont have a 360 anymore and dont plan on getting.

Kinda messed up. All the Fanboys will be pissed I bet. I would be hella suprised if the graphics are superior to that of PGR3. Only time will tell....But I bet that there will be alot of those Microtransition downloads alavible.

Oh dear what a shame. Ill still get the game as it will still be pretty decent I would imagine. But since I've never been a fan, im not really feeling the anger for the stuff that is missing.

Then again everytime I turn my xbox on the 4 red lights come on. Does that mean its dead? I cant be arsed with all this console crap there not as simple as before.

Haha - I hate to say to the ForzaFanBoys "I told ya so..."

But....

I told ya so

I mean all the dev time, money and hardware - yet a $29 PC game supports 900 degrees, clutch and h-gate shifter...

Oh yeah - first you need the hardware for the console then the game to follow

I don't know, he just said that they couldn't push the game back any further because it needs to be released on the current fiscal calendar.

FWIW, it's possible that a lot of the content thats being pulled might be free on the Xbox Marketplace, I wouldn't count on it however.

We'll have to wait and see. Like I said, i'll still be buying it though.

OK Captian here is your battleship , i know the war is here upon us.. but in order to build it on time we had to leave the guns out and replace the motors with ducks !!

Cherio!

I will probably still buy it too. As much as I like real-life driving, I dont really care for sims. I liked the original Forza and even though its sounds like this wont be the jump forward many including myself were expecting, I think it may retain some merit and entertainment.

PS - Anyone here watch the Forza Motorsport Showdown on Speed Channel?

^ Ya I thought it was so-so. Its more drama than racing I think. Its great to watch if your doing three other things at the same time and only paying a 1/4 attention LOL

Yeah I would be hella suprised if Xbox put shit to download for free without having to use any acievements or any of that shit. Very unlikely. And even if they did dont ya need that added memory such as an HDD or can it be saved to the Memory card?

Also regarding that Phyics thing, I think on the turn 10 blog that CHE guy was talking about Forza 2 having the same physics engine as Forza 1 with a few minor tweaks here and there.

If this isnt pure fanboy-speak - what is?

Re: I just watched the 1UP Preview and listened to the 1UP Yours Podcast and I have some Q's
The show logo was made from scratch, but once you make a design, whether it be the entire car or somthing like a logo, you can save the entire design so you don't have to do it from scratch and you can apply it to any car in your collection if you wish.

If you haven't played any racing sims in the past you might have to spend quite a bit of time getting used to the controls, but the gameplay is going to be spot on. This is going to be, by far, the best simulated racing game on a console to date.

But what still gets me is that ever since Forza 1 was released why didnt the devs get insider info that the 360 was coming and they need to step up their game but instead they are gonna use the same damn physics engine as Forza 1 and most all cars are gonna be the same. Thats a damn shame.
