Hay noticias super interesante en el pitpass; os pongo el parrafo y los puntos importantes traducidos
But before we get to the good stuff, let me just address a few things that have cropped up this week. First of all, there's the matter of a release date. Microsoft officially announced today that Forza Motorsport 2 is slated for retail here in North America on 5/29. There's a murmur of disappointment out there, to be sure, but keep in mind that we never did commit to a date in May, simply because we knew, as a dev studio, that we've got little control over stuff like this. We want everyone playing the game as soon as possible, but there's a rhyme and reason for every (non)delay so just keep that in mind. Plus, think of it as just an extra couple weeks you all get to spend familiarizing yourselves with the 24 car demo. Speaking of demo, we're shooting to get that online as soon as it's done going through the rigors of certification. The trial version should be out of our hands early next week, so...
Secondly, I just want to comment real quick on Forza 2 cars. As many of you know, we released the last of our vehicle lists (for race-class cars) yesterday, making the total count 310 in-game. But of these 310 cars, 7 of them will be acquired through different circumstances -- so let me explain what these are. If you preorder Forza Motorsport 2, EB or Gamestop should give you an Xbox Live Marketplace code when you pick up your copy of the game that you'll then use to redeem the special Nissan Fairlady Z that's on the cover of the North American version of the game. This is the only way you'll be able to get this car, so if you're a completist, I urge you to go and preorder the game.
If you purchase the Limited Collector's Edition of Forza Motorsport 2, your copy of the game will come with three extra cars not found in the regular version. No, we haven't announced what these cars will be just yet, but don't worry, they're not all super cars that will dominate and destroy the delicate multiplayer eco-system we've tried so hard to nurture in Forza 2. These are just rare cars in the context of the game, and you'll see folks racing 'em online with their own designs on them and you may even kick yourself for not having purchased the LCE version when you were at the store. Like with the Fairlady Z hero car above, you won't be able to get these three LCE cars anywhere else.
Lastly, we've got three unicorn cars in the game which the men behind the curtains here at Turn 10 will be placing onto the FM2 Online Auction House on a daily basis. These are cars that you'll only be able to purchase off the Auction House if you're obsessed enough to complete your Forza 2 car collection. Again, these cars aren't super cars, and they aren't going to magically make you the fastest kid on the block... but they are hard to get and they'll be a status symbol in the community, to be sure. Again, all 7 of these cars that we've mentioned so far will be restricted from gifting and selling. The fun is in the chase! Right?
- Fecha de salida en USA 29 de mayo (ya es oficial)
- La demo estara la semana que viene (al principio)
- Con la edicion especial vendran 3 coches (no hay otra manera de conseguirlos) pero no son coches potentes sino raros. Che insiste en que seran facilmente batibles en las carreras por lo que no supondran una ventaja
- Otos 3 coches (unicorn cars) solo podran conseguirse en el Auction house; es una especie de bazar de compra y venta de coches
- Otro dato reseñable es que con los preorders de ciertas tiendas americanas podras conseguir el coche de la portada americana
- Esto quiere decir, que finalmente no veremos el Nissan en la portada española
