Are you passionate about cars and racing? Then, Forza Motorsport is your game. Own, customize, and race your favorite cars in the most technologically advanced and realistic driving sim yet.

Use race earnings to buy upgrades and aftermarket parts, so you can transform real production cars into high-performance racers. On the track, experience an impressively accurate simulation, while putting your performance-tuned creations to the test against the online gaming world on Xbox Live™.

Make every car yours: Collect models from more than 60 top car manufacturers, including Mazda, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chevrolet, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, and Dodge. Trick out sport compacts with real-world body kits, rims, spoilers, decals, side skirts, fender flares, and hood scoops. Add motorsport decals and team paint-schemes to supercars, GT racers, and exotics. Transform production cars into racetrack monsters.

Tune it up: Take your car to the garage and install alternative engines, suspension kits, bolt-on superchargers, brakes, rims, racing slicks, and more. Fine-tune gear ratios, fuel-mapping, forced-induction pressure, tire temperature and pressure, and ignition timing for the ultimate setup.

Experience the most technically advanced driving simulation on Xbox: Top automotive engineers teamed with experienced programmers to create an advanced physics engine for Forza Motorsport, designed to simulates authentic car performance. Cars incur damage and wear, which affects car performance. Advanced tire and suspension models respond to heat and pressure changes as well as weight transfer and aerodynamic load.

Drive in gorgeous track environments: From the famously challenging Nurburgring Nordschleife to the spectator-lined streets of Rio de Janeiro, race on meticulously designed tracks with an incredible sense of speed and realism.

Check out the revolutionary A.I. Drivatar™ technology: Train your own A.I. “Drivatars” to use the same racing techniques you do, so they can race for you in competitions or train new drivers on your team. Drivatar technology is the foundation of the human-like A.I. in Forza Motorsport.

Take online racing to the next level:From intense multiplayer wheel-to-wheel racing to challenging individual bests and beyond, Forza Motorsport’s Xbox Live gameplay will deliver innovations that reinvent the
online racing experience.

Enjoy a graphical showcase on the most powerful console: Well-balanced reflections, lighting, and shadows tie together highly detailed cars and smooth-edged environments. Camera effects like blooming, lens flare, heat shimmer, light rays, depth of field, and haze create TV-quality presentation. Unique road textures, surface irregularities, persistent oil and skid marks, and scraped walls deliver an incredible sense of speed.

mindgam3 · 08-12-2004, 01:07 PM

jesus christ that looks good! is it gonna be released on the ps2 or just the x box?

tigerx · 08-12-2004, 01:12 PM

lol being made by microsoft i don't think releasing it on a PS2 will be a good marketing move

. i read the full info post a bout this game, and i don't like the trading feature, i don't have and probably will never have Xbox live and all my friend have PS2, so i basically got screw out of having tons of parts.

I think it is a big white elephant.

Should appeal to the NFSUG crew though..

gis · 08-12-2004, 02:32 PM

^^^ well hopefully this game u wont have to put more stickers on to get further in the game

FordGTGuy · 08-12-2004, 02:51 PM

Well now in Xbox's life its mostly set its eyes on Xbox Live since most Xbox Users have Xbox Live. over 600,000+. Plus you don't need Xbox Live you can use Memory Cards. Essentially you have USA region and you have another account that has Europe on it you put it on a Memory Card and reload the game and essentail you can trade cars and paintjobs money whatever though the one on the memory card and the one on the Xbox so theirs is a way to get every car in the game w/o xbox live.

What do you mean by a Big White Elephant?

PS2 doesn't have enough power for a game like this.

Daggernite · 08-12-2004, 03:41 PM

Well maybe Fortza would'nt run on a ps2 without some cut back on polygons or lighting or whatever els, but i think its no longer about what each system can do, I think its more about how well the developers utilize the systems to there protentail and capacity. Thats the only reason I think GT4 will come through, there so good at making games and using the hardware, plus there passion about cars at polyphony so they know what there doing. Im still alil curious about fortza, but will definatly give it ago

yeah agreed, polyphony have got the "heritage" of all their other GT titles, all of which were ground breaking. This has not much substance, but we shall soon see which comes out on top
