New Forza 2 CG Trailer

[Powderkeg]

Do you talking about them new Forza 2's screens, right?

No, at the mere suggestion that this looks better:

Great joke. I like it.

I'm with scooby_dooby on this one, for the sake of forza fans (because I can't really say I'm one myself), I hope this is just an early build or fake shots. The motion blur is nice I suppose, but the lighting is far from impressive imo. I think the forza 2 trailer even had better lighting than this. Lighting and color has always been my big bullet point in racing games ever since GT3. And personally I would be dissapointed if this is what GT5 ended up looking like.

edit:
this is what forza 2 should look like

Ya I just noticed that, the Forza forums are still up though you can get to them through googlecache, and ya, the TXB mods are deleting all threads with these pics....wierd.

More than anything that should prove that the shots are real.

I've seen fake shots of Forza 2 posted before. No one ever bothered to have them removed.

Your original post with the link is still working, unless there are others?

Well, well ... surely Forza 2 looks better than GT:HD, but you don't have to go out of your way to pick a lousy shot that doesn't show the car properly either.

Here are some pictures from my photo mode collection for GT4 PS2:

Does seem like they are real, they are taking the time to make sure nobody sees them which should tell you something. :/ The shots don't really impress me much, but they should look better in motion (like most next gen games) so I suppose it's best to wait for some video.

I think they may be from some point in development, but I don't see why they would make everyone take the pics down if they are the same, or look like the ones they are going to release in a couple days

that and the guy from their forums said screens would be in mags soon and he expects scans to be online in a few days. I think if they are going through this much trouble for these not to be seen the game must not look much like this anymore

another thing is that a lot of features that they said would be in the game seem to be missing

Here's a pic of Forza 1 from photo mode:

And here is one from the first batch of screens they released for the game, just for sake of comparison.

Hey, would you look at that. Low detail blurry logos, poor lighting, cars don't even look like they belong on the screen.

Must be fake then, eh?

I'm pretty thrilled with the alledged Forza 2 screens, particulary the one showing the infiniti. I think it looks great. I cant understand the negative reaction towards them. Guess this is just a case where I dont agree with the majority.

Yesterday I said I hoped they reached the target video and today, I'm pretty pleased. Of course, gameplay video will be the real test.

Too me it's the best looking racer ever to date..

Also the screenshot wars over this game are ridiculous, and should just stop. Seems everybody has an angle, and either posts Forza 1 bullshots to show that Forza1 looked just as good according to their agenda, or posts a horrible screen of Motorstorm PS3 to reflect Forza 2 in a positive light, either way it's nothing more than lying with screenshots.

The thing is you can find the right bullshots that make say, Forza 1 or GT4 look better than PGR3, which clearly isn't anywhere near the case on anyone's tv. It's disingenuous.

Unfortunately, the only official answer I have at this time is this: Since these screenshots were not officially released by Turn 10 and Microsoft, I cannot confirm nor deny whether these are indeed real. Yeah I know, whiskey tango foxtrot.

What I can tell you is the following: In light of the events of the day, we'll be posting real and official in-game screenshots next Tuesday (09.05.06) morning (rather than wait until Thursday, obviously). I can also say that there will be exclusive screenshots next Tuesday you won't see in any print mags (meaning we're grabbing them from the latest build and not trying to make a magazine's long lead deadlines from a month ago).

I'd say PGR3 looks better. Perhaps the game looks great in motion or something, I dunno.

Yeah, PGR3 looks better. The road is horrible imo and the lighting / color doesn't seem gritty/real enough. The game looks clean, but not what I would expect from a first party dev. Alas this is what happens when you try to churn out a major franchise in 18 months. And as I stated long ago, a racing game with bland, uninteresting scenery is very difficult to pretty up. A pig is a pig, so quality falls on technical excellence and oustanding quality on what is there. The road, cars, and grass should all be killer looking. If these are real then graphically this is only so-so. Obviously it all comes down to how it plays, but definately won't be scoring extra points based on graphics alone. Good and clea, but not great. But I will wait to see more confirmed pics and the game in motion at 720p. But I won't hold my breath -- there is a reason they have been baiting us with CGI for the last 4 months.

It's been four pages... Has anyone mentioned 30-vs-60 FPS yet?

PGR is 30 Forza is 60.... there we go

I would like to also submit this: 5 courses versus 30+. Art is a significan bottleneck this gen. That doesn't explain the asphalt or grass or lighting and color, but it does explain why we have been seeing so much CGI and what expectations there should be on a sub 2 year dev cycle. They couldn't even fit in the much loved cockpit view.

There is always PGR4...
