Official Forza Motorsports 2 Thread

[G.Irish]

Well now that the release date is set for May 15th I'm starting to get really excited. Its been a long time since I was significantly motivated to buy a console because of one game but this is definitely it.

I'm particularly stoked about some of the new features like the ability to trademark your custom designed race livery and sell it on the market. Then there's some other wild stuff in there like the option to use three linked screens like the arcade F355 cabinet. Turns out one of the designers was heavily influenced by F355 (which is still my favorite console racer btw) and wanted to include that feature in Forza 2 (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forzamotorsport.net/news/pitpassreports/pitpass28.htm">http://forzamotorsport.net/news/pitpass ... pass28.htm</a><!-- m -->).



I was thinking the other day about how that some games are so popular that there are money-paying tournaments that pay enough that some people are actual professional gamers. I'm thinking maybe Forza will be the first racing game that will be popular enough that you could make some money at it if you're really good. I was just reading about the tournament system and I can't help but to think there are gonna be some really cool prizes in there.

Here's some info about the tourney system (towards the bottom): <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forzamotorsport.net/news/pitpassreports/pitpass39.htm">http://forzamotorsport.net/news/pitpass ... pass39.htm</a><!-- m -->

Apparently you can even tune into tournaments in progress and watch the races.
