Forza 2 demo releasing in a few hours

by Dustin Burg { May 10th 2007 at 2:15AM }

The wait has been longer than expected, much longer than expected, but the Forza 2 demo will be available in a few hours. Over on the official Forza 2 forums, community VIP chespace has confirmed that the Forza 2 demo will be available for download off the XBLM today at 2:00AM pacific (5:00AM eastern). And yes your math is correct, that's less than three hours from this posting. So racing fans, it's time to pull an all nighter. Grab your force feedback steering wheel, get real comfortable, and pop open a few cans of your favorite caffeinated soda. It's a countdown to Forza 2 guys ... get excited!

[Thanks, Stynk Monkey]

Tom @ May 10th 2007 2:37AM

This'll be my second night in a row staying up 'till 5am for XBL updates...each tick of the clock resonates in my head like the syncopated footsteps of a crazy peg-legged pirate hobbling down a vacant alley... eyes... twitching... metaphors... not living up to... usual standards... cars... vrooommm *snore*

Dustin Burg @ May 10th 2007 2:42AM

Oh no, we're losing Tom to fatigue. Quick, someone grab the Dew reserve and a pixy stick, mix them, and pour it down his throat. Tom, you'll make it man ... only a few hours to go.

CL34N3R @ May 10th 2007 4:27AM

Yo Dave, nobody said it was available yet, still about 35 more minutes. RTFA.

DaveTehWave @ May 10th 2007 4:28AM

...ok my fault. I didn't see 2AM PDT/5AM EDT.
I read it as 2AM EDT - damn M$ and everything based on PT.

SxBrrlShtgn05 @ May 10th 2007 4:57AM

I never got a chance to play the first Forza, but I do say these screens are looking mighty shiny. I've been getting into racing games a lot lately... can't wit.

Zheng Xiang @ May 10th 2007 5:01AM

Is anyone else having trouble signing into Xbox Live? I've been offline for the past hour. Post a comment if you're on Xbox Live right now please so I can go check my connection. I obviously have an internet connection right now, but can't get onto Xbox Live. Thanks.

Stridery @ May 10th 2007 5:07AM

The Forza 2 Demo still isn't up. No worries.. yet. Im on XBox Live right now. Have been most of the night without any hiccups.

hellvector @ May 10th 2007 5:10AM

jason @ May 10th 2007 5:27AM

got it downloading very quick 24% in 3 minutes

hellvector @ May 10th 2007 5:27AM

Ok downloading it right now, and I'm in the US. Instead of going to the Game Demos section, simply click Games, then Genres, Racing, and Forza Motorsport 2, then you'll see the demo.

Have fun! :D

jason @ May 10th 2007 5:28AM

by the way i live in chicago and have it

p.s. go bulls cubs and bears!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom @ May 10th 2007 5:29AM

691 MB! downloading now!

MistrWebmastr @ May 10th 2007 5:30AM

Real Forza fans download the demo the second it comes on the marketplace, weather they have to just go at 2 or try and look for it for a half hour.. all's well that ends well.. it's downloading, and I'm off to sleep.

mike @ May 10th 2007 5:32AM

oh thank god. i was getting scared. downloading now :)

Sylvestor @ May 10th 2007 5:34AM

Finally!!! I've been checking it non stop since 2am to try and be the first to download and play it

james @ May 10th 2007 5:35AM

Downloading in the UK

tony @ May 10th 2007 6:16AM

launching it right now. haha. guess i was on of the first to be able to see it in action? theres a lot of cars for it to be just a demo. this game is truly wortht the wait.

mike @ May 10th 2007 6:25AM

Yeah, ive been playing it for about 15 minutes, the damage is great. I would kill myself if I actually did something like this to a ferrari in real life :|

Zheng @ May 10th 2007 6:34AM

Got it downloaded. The game is sick. I'm glad I've already got it pre-ordered!

tony @ May 10th 2007 6:56AM

wow!i was driving the corvette ZO6 and i was in the lead when the ford gt rammed me in the ass and shattered my rear window. this is how a racing game should be done. racing isnt about blowing by everyone then leaving them way behind, its about competition and wow is the ai competetive in this game! the damage is right on.just wish they had let you try out online and some of the customization.

THA1icarus @ May 10th 2007 7:01AM

To bad there is only one track and the difficulty isn't changeable of course you can switch off the ABS TCS and stuff.... But you can't kill your car.
Well it playes sweet, it looks ok compared to other racers.
Can't wait for the full game...

David W. @ May 10th 2007 8:15AM

I'm not that impressed...they actual driving dynamics of the game are awesome...but the graphics and crash damage to me aren't all that great...*shrugs*

MelodiousYeti @ May 10th 2007 9:28AM

Can't wait for the full game to release!

olithebumm @ May 10th 2007 9:35AM

remember those pc racing games where you find your self sliding of the track despite perfectly timed breaking, and then lose the race?
well forza 2 is just that
basically i'm utterly disappointed with this demo
everything seems so over sensitive
hopefully it'll clean up by the time the reatail version comes

for the time being pgr is still gonna be on top

stynkmonkey @ May 10th 2007 11:12AM

I have to agree with "olithebumm". The physics don't seem to be all that they said they would be. I hope it's just a demo problem and not in the full game.

jimhuf @ May 10th 2007 12:52PM

what a let down. the graphics arnt even as good as i got on the last toca on my pc with a 6600GT.

its just not good enough for next gen

tony @ May 10th 2007 1:55PM

come on guys its a DEMO. its not the full game. demos arent suppose to be as good as the full game. i bet you a million dollars that the Halo 3 beta isnt near as good as what the final game will be. yet everyone is making such a big fuss ove rit bc its Halo. if anyone has ever driven as fast as these cars go you would know that when you come into a corner that tight and brake that quickly, you car is going to slide and get loose. the physics of this game are quit good actually. maybe some of you just dont understand how to race. see the thing is when you come into a corner you dont break as much as you let off of the gas and then throttle back up. this makes you loose less speed than braking into the corner does. in most cases you can pass your opponent this way too. like i said braking into corners that sharp does csuse your car to get loose and slide around. thats not what you want to do, unless you know how to drift the corners. im trying to come in first with all 24 cars myself. maybe it unlocks something, who knows. ive already beaten it with like 5 or 6 so far. anyone who thinks the graphics arent that good then you must have a shitty tv and not an hdtv. i think its a great demo and going to be an even better game. ive had mine reserved since back in october. cant wait til the 29th. then ill show some of you how to race.
