As a change from the images, and since we are still not allowed to do any videos, I'm putting online this one minute long audio file of a Porsche 962 on the Nürburgring. It's encoded in Dolby Surround, so make sure you listen to this on your 5.1 audio system if you have one.

Thank you sir. Very clever.

Now how 'bout a series of a few thousand screenshots that we can combine into one long animated .gif? ;)

Nice work. Which view is this taken from? Somehow the engine doesn't sound very "raw", like it would in say GTR2.

Holy crap. Sounds amazing on a 5.1 system. Thanks so much, Blim.

Edit: I've been a member for 360 days, on the day of the dash update. That's got to count for something.

If you really want to see Forza 2 in motion you can use the following link for a little preview:

http://www.tilt.tv/extras/tiltplayer/FLVPlayer7.sw...

Just select "Tilt.tv 13-07 Gamestyle-Forza 2" from the right. You can also see many other gamerelated videos from that site.

@BlimBlim

Why you are still not allowed to take vids? Other sides (worser one's) are allowed to do ... does this depends on the version or a special agreement? Thanks!

Ps.: Great sound. Thanks fot the effort.

On worldwide releases we get it first :D, i.e halo 2 we were playing online a day before everyone else got it (sadly no one else was online to play against lol).

I'm never sure what to think of this, as I don't know how the car sounds in real life, I think this sounds pretty bad. Ah, guess it's because I don't like cars with that high pitched zooming sound. The classics, those make a nice sound, the really monstrous bulky motor sound, that's what I like.

BlimBlim,

Could you tell me about the music, are you able to have your own MP3 when you race, how is the ingame Music anyway, any famous songs?

No music while racing, at least by default. The menu music has a few well known stuff, but nothing I care about.

Ok, thanks.

What about your own MP3 songs, is there an option for this in Forza2?

You can play your own mp3s during any game on the 360. Just go into music on the guide.

It's high pitched cause it's turboloaded. It's a pure racing car after all. A BMW sounds great in Forza 2, and I bet a Shelby Cobra or any of the US Musclecars will sound like it would eat you alive... ^^

Great idea BlimBlim, at least we can now avoind these discussions. :D

Do the '69 Dodge Charger next please Blim, the sound is very distinctive and people who saw Grindhouse will know what it should sound like.

Well, if you are doing more sounds Blim, you should lower the sound of the tires and perhaps even environment to zero so we can hear the engine. Or just offer the two downloads, I don't know.
