Video Gaming News - October 2004
Redmond, WA (October 12, 2004) - Microsoft Game Studios today
announced that Forza Motorsport will ship exclusively for Xbox in February 2005.
From Microsoft:
Forza Motorsport peels out of the Xbox garage with the ability to transform
more than 200 real-life production cars from over 40 of the world’s top car
manufacturers into speed-drenched racing machines with aftermarket parts from
more than 150 partners. A powerful physics engine and a long list of online
racing features playable only on Xbox Live, Microsoft’s premier online gaming
service, gives Forza Motorsport the checkered flag with racing gamers and car
enthusiasts as the deepest racing simulator ever offered.
“Forza Motorsport is a title we are getting amazing feedback on from people who
are really passionate about the world of cars and auto racing,” said Shane Kim,
General Manager, Microsoft Game Studios. “The ability to customize your cars,
the amazingly realistic physics and of course the ability to experience all of
this online is quickly making this the one ‘must have’ racing sim.”
Forza Motorsport allows gamers the ability to showcase their garage work with
the best the online world has to offer through simultaneous competition with up
to eight racers or by trading their “tuned-up” and “tricked-out” creations over
Xbox Live. Forza Motorsport also debuts both an innovative on and offline
“career mode” that includes traditional competition with AI as well as
fully-interactive online racing with human opponents to accumulate career
earnings for tuning up your ride. Forza’s online ranking system ensures evenly
matched racing for all skill levels.
Beyond head-to-head racing, Forza Motorsport encourages gamers to build car
clubs of up to 100 different Xbox Live gamers for worldwide car communities and
competitive team racing. Forza Motorsport will take online racing to a whole new
level with more than 1,700 leaderboards that seamlessly integrate into the
single player portion of the game, thus fueling gamers with the ability to
compete for ultimate online bragging rights. Exclusive downloadable content
including new cars and tracks will complete Forza Motorsport’s high-octane
online garage.
