if Motogp 09/10 can do it why can't Forza?



from another thread on here

I came on here to see if there was any chatter about MotoGP 09/10 and saw this thread.

The first few comments made my heart sink, I'm the lead programmer on the title and now TD on the next one.

The reaction on here is exactly the same as on the official forums and xbox addicts. Hated it at first and then started to warm to it and now love it in certain cases.

A lot of the team including myself have worked on the Climax/THQ games (that was a big part of why we got the contract I think smile)

The direction of the project was to make a MotoGP game appeal more the the mass market without losing the hard core fans. We think we have achieved that but we might be biased wink

20 player online at a solid 60Hz on both platforms might be worth playing it for?

Anyway I'm off for a beer but I'd be happy to hear all opinions on the game and demo from people on here.

That would be absolutely brilliant. Maybe because there are less polygons required to show a biker and bike compared to a car?

But 8 players is getting a little bit long in the tooth.

20/24 player F1 2010 would be awesome, we could run a proper PH Grand Prix season after each 'real-life' race!

Or during. It would probably yield more excitement.

Looks like Blur is a 20 player lobby too, I can see an update for FM3 pretty soon.

They'd probably charge you for it.

Very true,

I cant see why they decided on 8 cars though its not like it uses that much grunt to run. OK I know GT5 is a long way off but looking at the screen shots they appear to have a whole field of 50+ Nascars with full damage (that you got to admit is a lot more impressive than the scraped paint/bumper of Forza).

The lack of cars is one of things that lets Forza down in my eyes (and the odd damage system)
