Forza Motorsport 2 release date unveiled

After informing you of Forza Motorsport 2’s scheduled arrival in May 2007, we at Xboxic are now going that one step further to give you an actual date. A press release on Xbox Japan states that Forza 2 will be hitting the shelves on May 24th. Now there’s a date to pencil into your diaries.

Having recently confirmed that Forza 2 would also be launched in Europe during May, Turn 10 insisted that “we felt it was only right for Forza Motorsport 2’s online community if we were to release the game on a global level simultaneously”. With that in mind we can only assume that the May 24th release date in Japan would apply to all of us around the globe.

The press release over at Xbox Japan goes on to inform us of the arrival of the Wireless Force Feedback Racing Wheel on the same day. Whilst the wheel has been available in Europe since December 06, bundled with Project Gotham Racing 3, we can only hope that the wheel will be re-launched as a bundle with Forza 2 on May 24th.

Continuing with our recent barrage of Forza 2 news, we’re bringing you additional details of the Auction facilities. Speaking in a recent Pitpass Report, Bill Giese, Senior Game Designer at Turn 10 had this to say:

The Auction House was one of the first features that we built out for Forza Motorsport 2. We wanted to create a one stop shop for buying and selling cars over Xbox Live. In this Pitpass Report, I will go over some of the Auction House’s coolest feature — although, in practice, it really does take a community like ours to make a feature like this see its full potential.

The idea for an auction functionality came out of Forza Motorsport (on Xbox), where we saw how much people liked creating trade lobbies and wanted to develop an easier way for players to buy/sell cars online. We wanted to provide players with a simple system to search, bid, and sell cars. We also wanted to allow an easier way for players to get cars that are not in their career home region (in Forza Motorsport 2, you’ll begin your career by picking a native region — North America, Europe, or Asia). We wanted to make it so that even if a car is locked to you in the single-player career, you could still go to the Auction House and pick one up for your collection (provided you’ve got the money and can outbid other players, that is).

Heres my Playseat; I'll never use a gamepad for a racing game again. Playing PGR 3 & looking forward for next months Forza 2.
