Troll much?

I can also say that there will be exclusive screenshots next Tuesday you won't see in any print mags (meaning we're grabbing them from the latest build and not trying to make a magazine's long lead deadlines from a month ago).

I'm beginning to think the Forza team just needs to work on their game and get it ready for 2007.

We need to start photoshopping HDR, sparks, and blur into Wii games.

If these screens are real and indicative of a near-final product, I agree.

RumFore · Sep 4, 2006

Whats crazy is that I think that photchop minus that dude on the mini looks better that what they released.

Confidence Man · Sep 4, 2006

Can they botch the unveiling of this game any worse?

It they really manage to get the game to look like that once their lighting and HDR are on, then we have a winner. The right car even reminds me the trailer of Ridge Racer 7.

Yeah MS ask us to remove the pics, I've removed the screens from photobucket and xboxygen. (Photobucket because xboxygen has not a lot of bandwidth for the moment ^^).
It should be back in about one hour.

This was the guy who faked that Forza 2 menu screen back in May, definitely not an insider. Me thinks he just wants attention, hence the huge list as to why these screens are 'fake'.

I don't see any difference with the ones that were posted a couple of days ago. Ah well, I never play or like racing sims, so this doesn't interest me even if it looked like the best thing in the world.

Gek54 · Sep 4, 2006

Found this on the forza forum, semi interesting.

Effulgence · Sep 4, 2006

Entirely too much blur, noticeable aliasing and dreadful environments. Hopefully fake.

This begs the question... what are you doing in a Forza thread?!?! What would even compel you to post anything?

And you realize that the horrible scaling + dreadful image compression makes any sort of comparison absolutely moot, right? Seriously, how is that interesting beyond "Let's take some next gen screenshots and degrade the shit out of them to make them look like 480p captures !!11!"

Not to mention that those "comparison" shots aren't anywhere near similar with those environments/cars...

Hahah ok, then I guess you would find this more interesting?

Because we all know that FM was rendered at 1024x768 with 8xAA. That said, image content wise, it's probably a valid comparison, though flawed since it's just hard to compare.

Proelite · Sep 4, 2006

Hmmm, I have to wait to see this in realtime. This is still better than Forza 1's unveiling though. Lol.

once again I find myself liking the new shots at first glance but I'm sure GAF's constant bashing will change my opinion again

doesn't look like there is any motion blur in that hoodcam shot

Those are the official ones. They were released early and then pulled apparently until tomorrow.

Those are official ones, but we don't really know for sure if they're the ones Che will be releasing tomorrow.

My bet is tomorrow's screenshots are going straight from someone's workstation to the internet with Che's laptop the only other computer seeing it first. I think the ones that were recently released were just another part of the same batch.

We'll find out tomorrow, though, together.

"Go to FM2s Website and check for new Content!

Spider_Jerusalem · Sep 4, 2006

It's a lame Jscript timer... it points at 5 september 00:00, using your local PC time. So, if you see it in different time zones, you'll see it expiring at different times. Like I said, lame.

Tieno · Sep 4, 2006

It's because it uses the time zone set on your computer as reference to count down.

It's just some random guy using a countdown timer on his personal website. Nothing official. I have him with eight hours left to go on the timer. I suspect he's trying to count down to midnight, when new pics are supposed to come out, but Che said they would post in the morning.
