Xbox

I've spent my afternoon playing Forza Motorsports. Even if my full preview will have to wait a bit (don't worry, it's good) here are all of the images from the game press kit. Some are (I think) never seen before, others are old or even from last E3, but since the shots are in very good quality I decided to let them here. Also included are some photos from how the Forza team went to the real tracks.

Hi BlimBlim - what version of Forza have you played the whole afternoon? The OXM demo or did you get your hands on a extended preview version?

Greets...

I played the latest beta of the game, almost content complete but far from debugged and optimized.

The "original" tracks I played where much better looking than Laguna Seca. That's just the way the track looks in real life.
I'm still waiting for MS' reply for releasing a small video I did of a never seen before track (quite nice looking) so maybe you'll be able to see by yourself.

No official number of tracks, but the track list on Forza Central seemed pretty spot on (the one on gamefront is missing A LOT). Same for the car list.
The damage in the demo seems the same as in the beta. They did not get the license to have the cars lose some parts so we'll have to live with it.

Hi BlimBlim,

Thanks so much for the screenshots and sharing this with us all! This game is looking just stunning and we're all looking forward to reading your hands-on preview. I will be sure to feature your preview on my website at http://www.webquad.com/forza and I will be keeping a close eye on your coverage of Forza Motorsport. Keep up the great work BlimBlim!

Does it mean that the cars won't be completely destructible? If we have a big front crash on a wall, will we be able to continue the race?
If the damage are just esthetic, like it seems to be in the OXM Demo, it's a shame... :(

ComposerRyan> it's been a while that I visit your site and I love it :)

No the cars won't be completely destructible. They do not have the rights to do it. But yes there are damages. If you crash hard, the car will start behaving wrong, like not accelarating correctly, leaning on left or the right, things like that.
You know how cars manufacturers are...

QUOTING AKIRA: "ComposerRyan> it's been a while that I visit your site and I love it :)"

Thanks Akira, I'm really glad you like the site and find the information there to be useful! :)

I'm also looking forward to seeing the full damage system in the full version. At least Forza has damage in it because GT4 doesn't even have it. So, I can't complain. :)

So, BlimBlim, are we going to see the preview anytime soon? I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for your preview. ;)

For the moment I'm still waiting for MS' greenlight. And seeing other european sites having the preview online is really annoying :/

Just don't hope for too much I guess ;)
