Forza 2 - tripple screen?
Is he driving a car or hovercraft?

Anybody else think it looks like Forza might have taken a bit of an arcade route physics-wise? Maybe it was just the quality but it didn't really look as real as Forza 1, more like GT type of view.

it looked like there was 50% steer help or something. it looked like the driver was not in control in some way. not good at all

There was no real braking as well... If you look carefully, the driver just blips the brake (NfS-style) and it doesn't seem to have an impact... It looked more like a train sim than a car sim from a steering point of view...
They've got a triple screen setup from having 3 Xbox 360's all on system link. Then each side screen uses a spectate mode on the car with a different angle.
You can't flip the cars? What kind of sim is it?

according to gamespot there are different difficulty settings, im guessing that its on like lowest or something. apparently the top is pretty simish

Dumbed down console toy sim. It's a subgenre!

The marketing guys at MS definately knows their job... their attacking the weak point of Gran Turismo that has no damage, even that this "amazingly revolutionary" damage is just "crash a wall and bumper drops off" type of damage

Not only that, but IT STAYS THERE..... FOREVER....
Good arcade game for console, PC and LFS rules
Quote from Quint999 :if you buy it thinking theyll deliver a full on sim like LFS then you'll no doubt be disapointed & deserve to lose your £40 , if you expect an arcade game with leanings towards sims then its looking pretty good so far.

Yeah but guess does anyone care about that... It must be the greatest sim ever because says so on the back cover!
Manufacturers wont allow their cars to be seen flipping wildly through the air. Thats why these games with all their fancy car licenses dont let you flip.

according to gamespot... they dont know nothing about sim racing, please
according to them Gundam battle assault was bad becaus the (really big) gundams moved too slow... y would take a look to players review, except the fanboys reviews , who call the game as the better sim there is.

Can you cite an actual news article that states that?

Do you really think contract agreements between the devs and the manufacturer's would be made official? Or any contract agreements for that matter?
Quote from BrandonAGr :Can you cite an actual news article that states that?

its the cold hard truth, same has been said for Gran Turismo for years now
Quote from BrandonAGr :Can you cite an actual news article that states that?

Almost every commercial game doesn't have damage, or realistic damage because of it. I don't have the links but there have been articles where developers have said that they don't have permission to portray realistic damage.
Quote from DodgeRacer :its the cold hard truth, same has been said for Gran Turismo for years now

It's more like a cold hard lie.
That car manufacturers wouldn't allow their cars to get flipped. There is probably some truth in that but it's also half bullshit and an easy excuse for developers.
Read here and go to the criticism section, it states

Quote :Although Gran Turismo is widely considered the best driving simulation available for the PlayStation or PlayStation 2, it is not without its drawbacks. For example, the game contains no damage-modeling due to licensing agreements prohibiting car damage

I know Wiki isn't exactly the most reliable source but it has been talked about all over the net in GT related articles, forums.

but they do say it may appear in GT5 but I have read they changed their mind on that.
