Turn 10 Community Manager Che Chou told us on the forza forums that the demo had passed cerification and should appear on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace tonight.

2AM Central Time, no demo out yet

[grim_d]

It's up, and it;s probably gonna take forever to download.

but go get it guys

[Cyberlunacy]

yup downloading it now.

also turned on the feature to let downloads finish when you turn of your console so i can head off to work and not worry about the console running all day.
the console partially shuts down, the lights go off but the system still runs. and the power light blinks about every 5 seconds.

hmmm...What do people think of it?

I think the visuals are a little under done. But as always the mechanics are brilliant.

To be honest, I checked that my cable wasn't set to SD.  

Someone please tell me I'm wrong.

on a few things like the track and the snidey grass.

aside from that i think everything looks beautiful. a few too many jaggies here and there but that isnt gonna stop this ebing the best racing sim EVER.

Yeah just too many jaggies. It definitely hasn't got 4x full screen anti-aliasing.

It's probably because it's 60fps that the anti-aliasing is suffering.?. Would people prefer 4x AA at 30fps?

Other than that, I'm happy with it.

I wish the demo had online play, or at least some leader boards. I guess full release is only a few weeks away.

Demo is fucking awesome. I'll just shut up play now.

haha yeah it is, have you got the FF wheel?

with a decent stand and surround sound the experience is unbeleivable.

the table mount for the wheel sucks though, moves about, so being the modder i am i drilled a few holes and bolted the damn thing to my "cockpit"

Not yet! I'll be picking one up in a few hours when the shops are open.

On the start grid when I first started her up I must confess I was disappointed graphically - but that impression soon changed.

I'm lucky enough to own a Porsche 911 and drive it on tracks in the UK, and I can positively say that the physics on this game are very realistic - infact they are excellent.  The car slids beautifully if you prompt oversteer, understeers perfectly if you push too much speed into a corner, brakes are exactly what they should feel like when on track - none of this brake hard and you magically stop from 150 mph in 10 metres ...  Can't wait to try the GT3 ...

Any 911 driver will obviously know that all the weight is on the rear meaning excellent traction out of the bends - and this is true to the game when compared to the E36 M3 for example (that struggles for grip).. phenominal ..

Thumbs up from me - who needs perfect graphics when the GAMEPLAY of this game is that good ..

Not that the graphics are bad - infact I'd say they are substantially better than PGR3 - but they look basic compared to the screenshots of PGR4 ...

I'm off to play it again ...

[edwinmcdunlap]

Awesome.. I'm downloading it now

[Druggedpolak]

Its flippin sweetttt.
The replays are just like        
The roof is the only thing jaggy for me though on my pc monitor at 1280x1024.
I want to customize the cars so badly lol.
I'm buying the wheel asap!!

Very true. I think it's incredibly good fun; with all driving aids off the concentration required to keep the car on the road is unbelievable. On PGR3 you can drive pretty well and be talking to someone at the same time. Not the case here at all. I love it!

Anyone else getting massive satsfaction from outbreaking someone and making a clean pass around them?   Esecially on the outside, I get a HUGE grin on my face whenever I pull it off  

I still keep stabbing the brakes sometimes though. I love how if you apply the brakes fully and do it fast the wheels lock up. But apply them fully slowly and you can get the full power of the brakes. So real. I also noticed that the race cars are really easy to drive compared to the A class cars and the A class cars are easier than the C class. I suppose that's how it would work on a track in the real world.

Ooo ooo! One more thing... the sky looks fantastic. But I do agree there are quite a few jaggies. Most obvious are unfortunately the ones on the cars

it's due to there only being 2xAA @ 60fps in the main game, to keep things smooth, it's a compromise im willing to have, i'm not so bothered, especially since i use the road camera.

watch a replay though with full 4xAA @ 30fps, looks sexy.

Regardless this game is about physics, and even my mates who hate forza (Gran Turismo noobs) say the physics are spot on, but they still "hate the driving"...idiots
