breaking news...Forza demo delayed.

This is bullshit. The game has been put back three times and the demo twice.

Sorry, there's no demo this Friday.

The demo is still going through the certification process so things are still up in the air.

Apologies all around for leaving you guys hanging. I know anticipation around this game and its demo is at an all-time high, but our (Turn 10's) hands are tied here.

Seriously, as soon as I know something, I'll make an announcement here.

Thanks.

Forza 2 Preview.

I don't think I have the required level of car nerdiness needed for this game....

I just pre-ordered the limited edition in Game. June the 8th can't come quick enough.

Greenawalt proceeded to demonstrate these upgrades by taking the aforementioned Honda Civic Type-R and adding a new intake to push it from class D to C, before adding cams and valves to push it into class B, the natural habitat of the likes of the Audi RS 4. "If you had a Honda Civic Type R and you were to weight-reduce it down to say 900kilos and put it up to 600 horsepower with racing slicks for the downforce, it should be able to compete against Enzos and things like that," he says.

That may as well be in arabic to me. Do you understand all that shit Dave?

noone understands that shit!! still if its anything like gran turismo you just keep adding stuff until your horsepower is at its max, that = fast to me!

I hated Gran Tourismo too.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I think my 2nd 360 is on the way out. I get a short but nasty grinding noise everytime i return to the dashboard from playing a game when the disc is slowing down. It doesn't scratch the discs at all but it seems to be getting worse and Test Drive has crashed twice when i've resumed it after its been paused for while.

I hated Gran Tourismo too.

One of the greatest games of all time Neil.

Have you lot been doing many beaner hunts on the new maps while I was away?

I've never being good or had the patience with car games, I do try though

 

[Johnnyc]

I wasn't into Gran Turismo at all, as I'm simply not into cars, but I do enjoy racing games like the early Burnout and Wipeout games.

This whole 60fps lark sounds great, but am I just gonna be mindfucked by all the alterations I need to make, to get my car in a good enough condition to compete with other cunts on-line?

So I'm asking you, Dave - should I buy this game if I don't dream of cars?

We've dabbled. Not enough mind. Tonight perhaps?

If I can I will. Though I just started dabbling with the ultimate team mode in FIFA CL07, looks like it could be very very addictive...

More Forza2 related stuff.

Two things:

A Scanner Darkly looked fucking amazing played on the HD-DVD last night. It was only a regular DVD but the picture was incredible.

Secondly, the card trading system in FIFA CL07 could be the greatest thing in the world. Ever.

 

[Stan Bowles]

Meant to say before but I've only just remembered, the 360 was sold out in every shop I went to in Japan. Might not mean anything but it as very funny.

Also the sales figures for the top 50 games sold in golden week in Japan do not contain one PS3 title!

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Are you watching that through VGA neil? I enjoyed a scanner darkly.

 

[Stan Bowles]

Yep VGA all the way, I think it's made a big difference. I was reading about loads of people complainining of VGA giving you a 'washed out' look, but it's definetly made an improvement on mine.

Yeah we really enjoyed A Scanner Darkly too.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Ah shit.
