Edit: New info : update in red 22/9/06

– they are still targeting a Japan release at the end of 2006
– they are working on FM2 since 2 years now
– the preview version shown to the press is based on a 60% finished version( devs are currently working on optimization, lightning, etc..)
– the preview version features 10 cars to select
– Tsukuba Curcuit in the preview version runs at 30fps but they confirm the final game will have 60fps
– 15 % more tuning/customization options for the cars compared to FM1
– the Corvette Z06 shown in the pics is build up of 40.000 polygons
– BMW is one of the new carmakers in the lineup
– Xbox Live modes are already fully integrated
– new cars and tracks are planned to be available for download every 6 months
– there is a not yet announced mode that will be revealed near the games release in 1 or 2 months

  • – number of layers per side increases from 100 to several hundreds
  • – some cars will have the option of up to 4 different engine swaps
  • – the car class system will be updated due to the new tuning options; behind the class letter there will be a three digit number perfectly representing the current tuning/performance level of your car
  • – every car in the game will sound different
  • – the new damage system now works much better, every part of the car will be dynamicly deformed depending on how hard it get hit; with parts like bumbers and spoilers falling of the car and staying on the track
  • – the car can’t be totalled but it can be damaged so far that you will be limited to drive only at a minimum of speed
  • – fully 3D grass that is moving in the wind (well you won’t see much of its beauty when you pass by at 180mph)
  • – driving assists(Raceline, ABS,TCS,ATS) return and they are better then ever; simulation fans who turn it off will be rewarded with more money
  • – most of the tracks from FM1 will return like Tokyo Circuit
  • – due to the fact that this is a circuit race game the point-to-point tracks are gone
  • – demo version over Xbox Live is planned
  • – you’ll be able to send the photos taken in photomode to friends via eMail
  • – they are planning to host a “World Championship” via Xbox Live after release
  • – a demo version will be playable at the X06 showfloor next week

First Forza 2 Screens

Check emm out over at forzamotorsport.net

If im being honest im a bit underwhelmed by these first shots, since friday all hell has broken lose over at FM.net as to whether they were fake or real but they are the real deal it seems, with rumours of a delay into 2007 at the moment i think this is the best coarse of action for the dev team to polish the game and i have no doubt Turn10 will deliver
