I really like the customisation features Forza 2 has. Hopefully they incorporate it so we can add images to our cars and edit them on a website, then upload the data and download the cars to use online.

Motorstorm 2 will be amazing. It'll have everything you'd want in an Arcade racer, the first one was so close yet so far from being a classic. It just needed the Offline Multiplayer. Now that this version will include that, I cant wait for more information.

I dont know how I'm going to justify the money I'll be spending this year to my girlfriend or parents. Anyone who wants to donate money, PM please lol

yea i really like the customization in forza as well. If GT could some how allow custom paint jobs...faints

Anyway. MS2 looks to be a definite improvement over the original. I wish we had better scans though. I can't wait to play the game won't be a system seller or anything but a worthy sequel to a great game.

I wouldn't want GT to have custom paint jobs, it would kind of ruin the beautiful look of the game. So would damage, for that matter... hmm...

Sounds awesome. Forza 2 does have more than just custom paint jobs though. You can also swap parts like head- and rearlights, spoilers, side skirts. On some cars you can even swap entire drivetrains(from FR to 4WD etc) and engines.

The ability to customize your character also sounds great. Kinda like in PGR4, perhaps?

Thor i am really confused about your comments. Haven’t played forza 2 or seen the simply amazing custom paint jobs people come up with obviously. I personally would prefer being given the option to choose if i get car damage or not. If you don’t like it turn it off. See both sides can have their cake and eat it too. I have never heard anyone complain about adding extra features to a game.

scroll down and look at some of the paint jobs people have made.

Imagine what some of the paint jobs would look like with the GFX of GT5. How could you not want that feature in gt?!?!?

No in-car view. Are you kidding me. That is the only way I could race in MotorStorm 1, which I had so much fun with btw, because it was where you really got a good sense of speed. If this is true, then they better up the speed or I will be pissed.

(haha, it wouldn't let me post my original message because I had c*ck in c*ckpit)

u are wrong :) there is no in-car view in MS read: "IN-CAR" (u see wheel), u mean hood camera not in-car :)

Are you sure that's not what they're talking about?

Why else would it even be mentioned? No point in telling someone that something won't be there when it wasn't there to begin with.

I'm loving the music options though. Racing games need that option more than any other.

EZChez - people were expecting it because of the original CG trailer. It was missing from MS1 - and I was hoping it wouldn't be missing from ms2. We'll see.

" Are you sure that's not what they're talking about? "

nope, but hood camera and in-car camera are diffrent, and many people (me tooo :D) want in-car, not only hood camera :) I'll buy tomorow NEO+ (i'm from Poland) and I will see what they said about "no in-car camera" :) I'll let you know :) Wait till tommorow :)

i'm sleepy ^^ ... ZZZzzzZZZzzz.. bye

BTW these screens are just OMG ! I'll see tommorow how graphic looks like. And I already said "i'll let you know :)" in that case too :)

In-car view in motorstorm you would probably only see mud on your windscreen anyway lol

@5.5 I agree with you Thor!

That is why they should put working windshield wipers on the vehicles for the in-car view!

The game looks like its going to be a winner through and through. I am a bit burnt on arcade style racing but the inclusion of cars mods puts this on my must have list.

fenderputty - 637 days 17 hours ago
14.1 - Yup
Those were my two biggest complaints as well. Adding split-screen and ingame music tracks is awesome.

BTW ... since some companies are implementing ingame custom music with their titles, does that mean that ingame music won't come from the XMB? Are they putting this stuff on the shoulders of the devs and the software rather then the hardware?

The first game was spectacular, but lacked replay value. Hopefully that'll be different with this one.

fenderputty - 637 days 1 hour ago
17.1 - I didn't think it lacked replay value
It was insanely fun. I still pick it up and toss it in. Online made the replay value even better. The lack of split screen made it not so fun to play with people though. That's were it really lacked. The customization of characters and cars and music just adds icing to an already awesome game.

To each his own though ehh ...

I got bored of the tracks. I kinda wished in each Ticket they would've varied the tracks like going the opposite way or opening different passages through the tracks.

But yea as you said, to each his own.

Too many good games for the PS3 this year. Combined with the new DS 3 and all these games coming out I'm gonna have to spend more money on games than the cost of the PS3 itself. WTF?

Looking forward to Motorstorm 2!

I hope they have a full replay option where I can save my replays, fast forward, rewind, pause, and control the camera.

Offline multiplayer? Check
Customizable vehicles? Check
Customizable Characters? Check
Double the tracks? Check
In-game soundtrack? Check
Confirmed as the best Arcade game in a very very long time? Pry so.
First day purchase for me? Check

Hopefully it doesn't end up being Cartoony in its art direction; we'll see once the game is officially shown at E3.
