Looks like I may have called the Forza 2 Bullshit Flag 100% correct...

...wouldn't i be really sad for them if I was helping uncover the truth.

FM2 is beginning to like a bucket of proverbial poop

I was surfing on the net and found this forum post. I checked xbox.com. And i can't believe my eye's.
Is the following true????

Based on the recent changes on the Xbox.com site as well as comments by Che, the FM2 community manager, it seems Forza Motorsport 2 has been hit by a pretty big "downgrade grenade" (he he must mock other sites). The major ones that are sticking out:

- 12 cars (racers) reduced to 8 cars (racers)
- 4xMSAA reduced to 2xMSAA
- "Over 60 tracks" reduced to "Over 45 tracks"
- "18 environments" reduced to "12 environments"
- "13 real-world licensed circuits" reduced to "several real-world licensed circuits"

Look from Page 3 as their world comes down..

what they are probobly going to do is make the other stuff available on XBOX Marketplace for an "addition sum of money". God damnit, if this game sucks, imma fucking kick someones ass and throw my 360 at Bill Gates himself!

I am willing to bet the DVD format cant hold enough hires textures etc... and since XBox360 is not going to natively support an internal HD-DVD drive.. they are SOL.

Notice all the fanboys posting "Well - I am sure it will still be awesoem with reduced cars, tracks, features and number of on track cars" -- they have been bumped frm 12 to 8 cars at once.

I thought the XBox360 was some heavy weight hardware - but rumour has it that 60fps was only possible with 8 cars at once.. after all the 12 cars at once hype...

/\/\/\/\ RC, Would be that another reason to buy the PS3 over the XBOX?

666fast · 01-24-2007, 07:51 PM

While it sucks, in truth, I don't really care. I'll still be buying it.

basically the way that I feel, however I wont download shit from the Marketplace, becuase then I know they will be ripping us off.

RC, it might not be that the DVD can't hold enough info, it might be the delays, and they want to get the game on the shelves. Just a thought.

If HD gaming is important to you hen maybe.. otherwise just buy a used Xbox360.

Just not new.. PGR3 in truth was not worth $60 at all.. as a $20 used game it is ok.. and by the sound sof it, FM2 will not be worth $60... not by a long shot, and they will not get my "new purchase" dollars - but again, as a used title - why not.

I think PGR3 was worth my $50 personally. I like the game, be it that its not as realistic as Forza 1, but its not as bad as NFS

Lack of track variety and no decent steering wheel was the let down.

And the fact all the down load content was just more variation of the same limited car physics models..

bmagni · 01-24-2007, 11:28 PM

don't know, even that its a big downgrade, still I'm hoping for better physics, looks and AI, maybe thats why they reduced the contain, so you'll be able to DL it later...

It's not that they're saying its not gonna have realism or less cars, so thats a plus... its just less features not less quality of a game...

Also GTR is coming to the 360, so...
