New in-game but not final build footage of Forza Motorsport 2 from the 1UP Show Video Podcast. so its the most recent gameplay footage realised but probably a few months old now and therefore not as recent as the new pics. still a very good watch and i have also found out some good news about this game:

we are getting a demo

the developers have been making very good progress recently and the game could well come out a few weeks early, ive heard it could be on sale in 5 weeks time

quote:

There's also a lot of much more subtle stuff that can be seen too. Brake dust blackens the body panels behind the front wheels, and dirt smears up the hood and into intakes as it's sucked in by the airflow. Those shiny looking objects in the screenshots don't look so shiny for long.

impressive

The AI takes a simulated test drive in every car before it races it to better learn the car’s capabilities. This allows it to understand how to get the most out of each individual car. It does NOT drive a Civic the same way it drives a Ferrari. This is at the heart of our ability to allow the player to hire AI drivers to drive the player’s custom tuned car. Even with upgrades, the AI will quickly learn the car’s quirks and drive its wheels off.

The AI has a more accurate understanding of the physics engine than in the original Forza Motorsport. It is much better at estimating how much grip it will have available for turning, braking, accelerating at all times, and is better at using this to make a fast run through each turn. This may be one of its strongest aptitudes right now -- it has a very accurate prediction of its own performance.

In the original Forza Motorsport, the AI had a very rigid understanding of the shape of each track, that was technically accurate, but not necessarily the way a race car driver would see it. A chicane, for example, was often seen as a rapid series of alternating corners. But a real driver can recognize that there’s a much smoother line through there. For Forza Motorsport 2, the AI has a better understanding of the driving line within the literal track edge.

It’s much more cognizant of the cars around it and openings for it to pass. There are cases where the AI in the original just didn’t recognize it when another driver made a mistake. It has evolved to take better advantage of these kinds of opportunities. Moreover, it’s become really fun to wheel-to-wheel race against. This is one of the changes in the AI I’m most happy about.

If it had 100% realitic handling, it wouldn't be any fun, as you'd have to spend hours training yourself for each car, then crashing when you hit a bump you didn't see because the graphics aren't good enough to simulate it.

I'd rather have a game which you can pick up and play and enjoy, than have the most realistic driving simuator (if that's possible with thumb control)

that's the problem I suppose, these games are designed to be played with a pad.

You all need a FFB Wheel.

apparently according to that vid, this game is designed round the wheel, might invest in one for it

obviously it wont be 100% realistic and dont forget that intro scene was with a race car so in perfect weather conditions like that in forza 2 it will handle like its on rails..

in handling/realistic terms it will definately be compairable to gt:hd, but will probably be seen as having the edge due to how deep they have gone in forza 2 with car physics.

i also keep hearing how realistic gtr is, well thats coming out this year for the 360 which is worth noting

still after owning forza 1 and keeping a close eye on how forza 2 is coming along i really do think it will be the best racing game out there to date

GT games are more realistic if you use the 'control' tyres and switch the driver aids off, then when you turbo a civic, it drives differently to standard...

The problem with it is that the cars don't slide, but with Forza, they did, which made the game more fun

i turned all aids off and it was unrealistic as fook, i dont have a problem with it being life like realistic, if its not going to be realistic might as well put any old randon made up cars in and not real ones
