According to a recent announcement from Microsoft, there's some big news afoot regarding Turn 10's premiere racing title Forza Motorsport 2. A new demo for the game is currently being worked on, and it's coming soon to the Xbox Live Marketplace. However, details are sketchy at the moment, as the press release only indicates that the timing for the demo will be announced in the coming weeks.
The full game itself will be available to Xbox 360 gamers in the middle of May, and Turn 10 director Dan Greenawalt is excited about its impending release, based mostly on the amount of meticulous attention his team has given it throughout its development period.
"Whether it's the hundreds of thousands of physics parameters captured from countless man hours taking track measurements and capturing car data to harnessing the power of the industry's most advanced neural-network search algorithms, non-linear and linear math models as well as AI simulation systems from our Microsoft Research Labs," he states as all of our heads spin, "we've turned mountains of real world raw data into a living, breathing racing simulator where the only difference between the game and reality is that you're not risking life and limb when you hit a wall at 200 mph."
The man obviously loves his work.
