Forza MotorSports info

i just wanted to give out some of the latest and up-to-date news about Forza that have been found by a few members on a few Forza websites.

Forza Demo on the way to you (http://www.forzacentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=217)


This is just for the Fans of Forza, I’m trying to get the world out about the game and from what i have seen on the web not many people know what the game is about, most people just think it will be another racer like Gran-Turismo so I would like to further inform you about Forza.

Forza Motorsports will be a real racing simulator that will debut sometime in February, it will have over 200 cars that all take damage and are all fully customizable. The cars will take visual damage as well as performance damage; the forzacentral ForzaPlanet and the norm302.forzaplanet.com team have all found a lot of information on the game. There will be car clubs on the game via Xbox live; you will be able to paint your own car with 100 available layers (Moto GP 2 only had 7 layers and people where able to reproduce many beer labels and some outstanding logos with just 7 layers). You will be able to take a stock car and add body kits, turbos, switch engines from another car, add various types of rear & front spoilers (taken from rear world companies) and new rims. Since Forza is trying to be the most realistic racer ever created all of these parts where taken from real world aftermarket parts manufactories, everything you add to you car will effect how you she handles. So, if your nice spinier rims are two heavy, look for you car to feel more sluggish in the curves and your 0-60 time to drop off some.

The team at www.Forzacentral.com have found out that single player is only half of what this game has to offer. When you go online via Xbox live you will be able to trade, cars trade paint jobs and make user clubs with up to 100 members. As of right now the game will; have 200+ cars and over 40 tracks both real world and fictional tracks.

Are there any real part? besides turbos and wings? Like suspension parts?
Can you set up almost every aspect of your car (like GT3(4))?

Looks sweet, i think its for Xbox

They restrict these games to Xbox in the hope that it'll encourage people to buy one so that they can play the games.

It doesn't work with me, I don't want an Xbox.

Yes you can change out your motor, tranny, suspension, tires and anything else you can think of (on most cars).

And yes this is only for xbox

Being an old GT fan i can tell you it will not only let you tune everthing GT but it will let you take it one step more. body kits will effect how your car handles adding parts will add weight to your car, o yes did i forget to add that you can damage your car to the point of getting a DNF?

I doubt seriusly doubt that, GT4 as GT, GT2 and GT3 behind it, the phisics of GT4 will be even more realistic, when ForzaMotorsport 4 comes out, then, and maybe then i'll believe you, but then we'll perhaps have GT8? lol :D

lol, i think 2 many ppl have this notion that, woaw GT4 = immediately the only good racing simulater therefore f**k, everything else must suck then. Not true, Forza will rok coz theyve had the guts to take on every sort of criticism from PS2 fanboys who look for every single minor mistake they see in the graphics and any released info such as the number of cars. I heard theres no damage in the new GT, and that immediately makes it unworthy of the slogan "the real racing simulator". PGR2 beats the crap out of GT3 and will , along with RSC2, probably have beta graphics than the new GT4 coz we all know that the xbox has more raw power than the ps2. You may nitpick over little details, but in the end, the new GT will, in my opinion be 2 realistic. 600 cars is waayyy too much and the abscence of real damage will dent the impact of the game.

My thoughts are still towards Forza as the betta game, a vast majority of people in the gaming and automotive community may find it hard to compare the two, but in the end they must realise that GT is not the only game for racing simulation for consoles anymore.

Oh btw, i forgot to mention Sega GT, not that good, so not worth mentioning.

I don´t have the notion that GT3 is the best simulation, I know, and i've played all of hem. IMHO the hole GT series have been the best car simulation games ever, the other games you can compare it to are Sports Car GT, Toca Race Driver 2 and Gotham Racing like you said, but stil for me GT3 as been a more envolving game.

That said, it's a good thing game makers are tearning their heads to car simulation games, i just wish they'd make then for PC to... having to borow PS2 and the X-Box all the time makes me feel bad! hehe :rolleyes:

how does PGR2 beat the crap out of gt3, there too different Genres.
One arcade and ones a simulation type game.I have them both and prefer GT3 alot more.

When players comare the GT series and talk about it being the best simulation how wide have you played ?

I find the rear-end movement of GT series to be so false it borders on arcade.

Also what do you use ?
I've had the conversation with mates son who wanted to show me how "realistic" LiveFOrSpeed was and THEN began to play it with a joypad !! WTF :)

SO my starting point for realism is decent wheels and pedal - including analog clutch to really get the tail steering when needed :)

Do you put on the rally gear when you play, ultimate realism. ;) Sat/rode in my father's friends rally car after the rally, when the car was pushed pretty hard it's quite a thrill. :cool:

I NEARLY built a seat and monitor support looking like an F1 cockpit when the kids were wee. But now I think it would be kinda sad. BUT in the rally sims I just CNANOT get used to a button on the wheel for the handbrake and the external seperate handbrake I've go just isn't big enough to sit on it's own. SO maybe :) If I ever get time from wokring on real ones I'll build a sim one :)

For those awaiting Forza Motorsports, pick up april 2005 issue of Popular Science, they go over the game comparing real life to the game with the same cars, they use a le mans racer and a video game/ car junkie to test it. From the article, it seems very realistic and the cars have the same characteristics. Can't wait for the game to hit the stores!

They game can be played the way you want to, if you like working on the looks of your car so be it. if you want to make a track monster then you can also do that too. just don't expect to see many neon beating any vipers anywhere on this game no matter how many vetch stickers you put on it.

I haven't played much of Forza because I'm currently addicted to GT4. The only things that I like aobut Forza more than GT4 are that Forza actually shows damage and Forza has Ferrari and Koenigsegg.

reviews are out, and theyve been astounding, alot of sites giving it 10/10 or close to it, nothing in the 8's all in the 9's, ill soon posts links to reviews from forza central.

2 or 3 sites have said it is better than GT4, even though forza over uses reflections ( too perfect ) and has less FPS ( 30 vs 60 ) it has more detail and the lack of amount of cars is solidified by its greater use oh pyshucs and so forth.
