"For instance, yesterday saw the implementation of our new driver models, which look considerably better than the placeholder ones we've been using this whole time."

No wonder why they looked like 64 drivers.



Here's a quote abou the A.I:

Q: What are some specific improvements you guys have made to the AI in Forza 2?

DG: There are many, but here are some highlights...

"    * The AI takes a simulated test drive in every car before it races it to better learn the car’s capabilities. This allows it to understand how to get the most out of each individual car. It does NOT drive a Civic the same way it drives a Ferrari. This is at the heart of our ability to allow the player to hire AI drivers to drive the player’s custom tuned car. Even with upgrades, the AI will quickly learn the car’s quirks and drive its wheels off.
      
    * The AI has a more accurate understanding of the physics engine than in the original Forza Motorsport. It is much better at estimating how much grip it will have available for turning, braking, accelerating at all times, and is better at using this to make a fast run through each turn. This may be one of its strongest aptitudes right now -- it has a very accurate prediction of its own performance.
      
    * In the original Forza Motorsport, the AI had a very rigid understanding of the shape of each track, that was technically accurate, but not necessarily the way a race car driver would see it. A chicane, for example, was often seen as a rapid series of alternating corners.  But a real driver can recognize that there’s a much smoother line through there. For Forza Motorsport 2, the AI has a better understanding of the driving line within the literal track edge.
      
    * It’s much more cognizant of the cars around it and openings for it to pass.  There are cases where the AI in the original just didn’t recognize it when another driver made a mistake. It has evolved to take better advantage of these kinds of opportunities. Moreover, it’s become really fun to wheel-to-wheel race against. This is one of the changes in the AI I’m most happy about. "

I honestly think this game has become better looking than GTHD. And technically it shouldn't...

Just as long as they are better than the driver models in PGR3.  I still have yet to see ones better than those in GT4.

GT4 didn't even have driver models in anything other than the handful of convertibles in the game

oh quit with the unfair comparison BS, they are both on current gen system so they can be compared to each other once they are out, not to mention they are the respective flagship racing sims, forza was created to be a direct competetor to GT so shut it!

P.S

I prefer forza because its physics were as good if not better than GT's and you had alot of extra otions with the game, i:e, car customisation with body work, graphics/paintwork, custom sound track, trainable AI driver that could race in your place in your stylye and the racing line helper tool. Graphics were better on xbox one compared to ps2 as well. I hope forza 2 carries on the good work, whether it will be better than GT5 or not is anybodies guess but i think it will be better than GT:HD because that game lacks features alot.

fair enough, it just seems these days that all ps3 fans ever say is this, i dont mind discussing a point, even argumentatively, but to just keep hearing about things being unfair because of release dates is naff, its makes people sound childish and uneducated. No offence intended BTW.
