Forza invented the livery editor and it's paying off. I barely messed with it in Forza 1 but I am going to give it a try this time around.
The Japanese are already playing the game. Take a look at these stunning pictures! Awesome.
I like this one a lot

Very cool one, look at the reflections.
Maybe the most impressive, 967 layers.
Quite familiar, isn't it?
PS: Some kind of automatic downscaling would do wonders here in the forum.

Well, I've played this demo for probably 10-15 hours, and I can count the amount of times they've hit me like that on one hand. Very, very rarely has that happened to me. Maybe it's your driving style, you must be cutting them off imo.
A very intelligent way of doing the figures and finding answers. Thanks for sharing.
The round figures are quite hard to assimilate, though. For me at least.
Even if the track is very accurate in games like GT4, it's not easy to recreate a perfect Nurburgring. afaik -I've never been there so to speak- the thing is too bumpy and very narrow that it could break to pieces an oversprung (overdampened) car in no time. It is not a well paved track. afaik (again).
PS: I am also more used to measure distances in metric units than english units.

The AI has a favourite line, ok, but I've been playing the demo minutes ago and I didn't see that kind of behaviour. After the first chicane I took a look behind my car and two computer-controlled cars were fighting for position, each one with a different driving line. Let's say one of them was on the *correct* driving line and the other didn't. Guess who won the position? Yeah, the bad guy.
Cheers
That's awesome! This is one of the coolest features about FM/FM2. I think the next version of FM should have a feature to be able to model your own car in 3D from predefined body sections. That would be the ultimate NEATO factor.
New video featuring some guys playing on Xbox Live. The track is Nurburgring and it looks much more accurate and narrower (as it should be) now.

I wonder if the Japanese 360 sales will overtake the PS3 next week...
Those customization options are really incredible, i didn't think it would be that big a deal but it clearly adds a huge dimension to this game.
Also, seems MS dropped the price on the wheel by $20 in preperation for the launch.

No.
You don't think Forza 2 is able to push 8.000 X360's in its first week in japan?
Nope, because it's made by Americans.
Actually I think Forza 2 could do well for the 360 in Japan. I'm fairly sure we'll see a boost from it.
The Nurburgring video looks good. Bear in mind that this video is 16:9 originally, as you can see by looking at the cars, so it's a little wider than in this youtube video. But I know the Nurburgring by heart from GT4 as well as from the real thing (both driving there and watching plenty of videos) and it looks pretty much spot on. Maybe one or two places where the corner isn't as blind as I'm used to, stuff like that - very minor differences that depend as much on the position of the camera in front of the car as anything else. So thanks, Turn 10, for fixing the Ring in Forza 2 ... It's an awesome track to drive, easily my favorite in GT4.

It's an awesome track to drive, easily my favorite in GT4.It will depend on the amount of noise MS makes I guess. It's not impossible I'd say.
Not that it matters of course.

I could easily see the 360 breaking 10k in Japan when FM2 comes out. Much like Gears or Blue Dragon, good games can actually give it respectable sales for a week or two. It's anyones guess whether they actually keep on going though.
