www.xbox.com now has a trailer up for Forza Motorsport, Microsoft's attempt to add a GranTurismo style racer to their lineup. Looks suh-weet.

The previews look pretty good too. When is this supposed to come out?

 

[Jay Mitchosky]

Seems I read holidays 2004, just in time for Christmas.

 

[RudyN]

Very cool, i'll keep my eye out on more news. It's looking very good already though.

In the computers at Gamestop it's showing a Jan. release right now.

 

[Daryl Furkalo]

May 3 is quickly approaching. Can't wait to try this one out.

I hate this stupid 'ship date' game. Tell the consumer the day it will be in stores, not when it ships. Let gamers have the same luxury as music buyers and know that new releases will

 

[BrianB]

Willing to wait a week for your games?

 

[Sam Posten]

If it means never leaving EB pissed off cause they didnt have it when they are supposed to, yes.

 

[Jay Mitchosky]

So has anyone picked this up yet? Review from Gamespot is very strong.

 

[Daryl Furkalo]

Still don't have it. Hopefully today it shows up.

 

[Sam Posten]

In a terrific bit of Allanis Morrissete style false irony, I was pissed tuesday cause I couldnt get it, then on wednesday when I DID get it I never played it as I was so tied up with EQ and Mercury on PSP.

Phenomenal game! I love it. I played it for about 4 hrs last night. Will give more thoughts on it later. But it is definitely worth the purchase if you like racing games. It is 10x better than anything else on the XBOX.

I'm still waiting for my copy to be shipped. :frowning: Here's a site with pictures of people's customized cars.

There's the Fanatec Speedster 3 force feedback wheel for the Xbox.

 

[BrianB]

It's not force feedback. It rumbles. It tries to fake force feedback. But it's not force feedback.

 

[Jay Mitchosky]

Force feedback reactions are actually programmed into the game, vs. generic vibration rumbles. I recall at one point MS was going to be releasing a first party wheel alongside Forza. Guess they dropped it.

 

[Romar Armas]

My bad. It doesn't have Force Feedback and has "Force Shock".

Well here's some reviews on the wheel including an email from a Fanatec employee.

Looks solid. I had the MadCatz version for a short time but returned it. Just didn't feel right, and took up too much space.
