Forza Motorsport 2 trailer and unofficial screenshots
Microsoft released a new trailer for Forza Motersport 2. It’s the trailer that debuted on the GC at a private presentation and is now released to the general public. Game Director Dan Greenawalt also provided commentary during the video. It shows some great features from the game like the ideal racing line, tire simulation, suspension simulation, crash simulation and drafting.
Forza Motorsport 2 is the premier racing simulator for the Xbox 360 console. We created this video as a way to illustrate the physics at work in our simulation engine. Specifically, at key points in the video, we change to a multi-pane view with the racing action in one pane and a physics highlight in the other. In this walkthrough, I’ll go into more detail about what you’re seeing.
0:04 = start - Welcome to Sebring
At the start of the video, you see 12 customized cars racing down the front straightaway at Sebring International Raceway in Florida, one of the new tracks we have in Forza Motorsport 2. It’s a pretty tight field and the cars are really dicing it out heading into the first turn.[….]
Forza Motorsport 2 features unparalleled physics simulation including bone-jarring damage, over 300 of the greatest cars in the world including Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini, powerful customization and personalization tools including body kits for hundreds of production cars, and unprecedented online features. If you’re looking for the most complete racing simulator available, you are looking for Forza Motorsport 2.
Also some new screenshots surfaced on the web today. It looks like these are the first 3 screens of Forza 2. Although the screenshots are not officially released by Microsoft, they appear to be legit.
The strangest thing about the whole Forza Motorsport 2 game, is that it’s slated for a rumored release on 2 October and that is only 1 month away. The only thing we saw from the game are 3 CGI trailers, and nothing more. Hopefully the whole game will be shown on the upcoming X06, or has Microsoft something to hide?
Gorgeous (for a PS2).
stfu Rival :’)
I think, no wait… I know it’s gonna rock
What?
Car model looks good, background needs serious work. I am really curious as to whether or not it will release on october 2….
they said winter (i.e. it could come as late as february 28th - winter being december, january and february)
I think the backgrounds are blur because they want it look like the cars are movin fast like the blur effect on Moto GP but who knows.
Screenshots don’t do it justice, if you watch the trailer it’s much more promising. It’s clearly in-game, looking very realistic, and the AI looks pretty hot too
The trailer doesn’t say shit
(imo)
ps2 has tht crappy ass gran turismo game where they took out online for pictures LOL they better start making a tomb for ps3. i cant wait for forza 2
Bring It!!
Well the top screenshot looks pretty good, but the grass on the right looks odd, possibly unlit.
As for the blurring, I reckon it might be ingame, but pre-rendered for a trailer, so they can blur it as much as they want.
Still, it looks great, not really bothered about how sweet it looks so ill be buying it anyway. (unless they keep that damn F40 championship in, talk about no brakes)

PGR4 anyone?
Ahem. I did post this on the forum when it surfaced wheres my credit(damn I knew I should submitted it as news¬_¬). I honestly think tho that this footage is ingame, why?? well I honestly think the 360 is capable of doing amazing shit like that in the right hands that why I bought one.
Messiah doesn’t read the forum much, we can’t guarantee you get proper credits if you post it on the forum so be sure to submit it via our news submit as well.
lol j/k no worries my bad.
Sorry about that. If you submit it the next also trough the newssubmit i will give you credit for it
Theres debate that these are either fake or from a very early build. One being the muddy decals, and another being Che mentioned the game has 3d animated grass, so this is either a placeholder texture, or just a very elaborate fake.
It could just be cut really really short?
my vote’s for the early build ss. they’re vamping this thing up until press & release, so it makes sense that it would be rendered wires + min texture…
i was such a fan of the original as well. 360 it and we’ve got a franchise that ps3 can’t touch with silly gt(n)
