Many people were dissapointed at Forza 2 for getting delayed from it’s original release date of the rather vague “holiday season”, but it seems it has been worthwhile, as the team behind the game have now managed to at least get the game up to 60fps.

Che Chou is the community manager for the game, and he had this to say:

“Because Forza 2 is pushing so many polygons and next-gen effects, the team has had a heck of a time pushing the engine to run the game at a locked, butter-smooth, 60 fps. Although games at a consistent v-sync’ed 30 fps look and play great (see also: PGR3), doubling the framerate makes all the difference in the world,” says Chou. “It’s still too early to tell what may or may not have to be changed/tweaked in order to maintain 60 fps — hopefully nothing — as far as we’re concerned.”

So at least the delay has paid off. You will have to wait until Spring to get your hands on the game though. That’s assuming that there are no further delays of course. Chou did not say when more details of the game would be announced, but things are moving along. Let’s hope they meet the Spring deadline to keep the Xbox community happy!
