Some details on the Forza 2 demo coming this week possibly

Remember we told you that a Forza 2 demo was in the works? Well, it seems said demo could well be with us this week – possibly even tomorrow.

The French portion of the interweb has been buzzing with reports that the demo will be going live as soon as the game has gone gold (ie has passed certification and is cleared for production), which could be as early as tomorrow, although whether the recent delay to Forza 2 will change that remains to be seen.

A friend just sent me this picture, what's that about :o

Image looks like your friend made it to me.

I really think your friend is just trying to play a joke.

Hopefully I am wrong.

"Well, in regards to the Forza 2 demo. I still don't have an answer. As of today's emails, the demo was still in the hands of our certification dept. They're expediting it through the process but it's not out of the woods yet. We should have a firm idea when you can expect the demo by early next week. Basically, once it passes cert, throwing it up on Marketplace shouldn't take more than a couple days. Of course, being a Microsoft n00b, none of you should take my conjecture as gospel, but I'm doing my best here to give you an honest answer. I want y'all to play the demo just as much as you do -- if nothing else, it'll give the forums something else to talk about. Also, once the demo releases, I'll see if we can do some fun little hotlap contests for some no-prizes. Please be patient. The demo is coming 'round the bend. So close I can almost smell the burnt rubber."

i found a source i do believe... check this out

unfortunatly it look as if this has been out since last week... :( the wait continues

Good detective work. (Y)

Don't think he made it, he doesen't know a word of English.

He said he got it from an Xbox Community site, but he always sends me something and won't tell his sources =P

Was hoping a Neowin member knew.

Indeed, your friend did not make it. Just a really poor designer did. ;)

if that wasnt the most contradictory thing ive ever heard....

"its green lighted, here it comes"

"when?"

"when its green lighted"

If you mean Spartan, don't listen to him =P The last time he actually had some useful information we didn't already know was about never :laugh: ;)

if that wasnt the most contradictory thing ive ever heard....

"its green lighted, here it comes"

"when?"

"when its done" (given the green light)

we all might as well quit speculating, the bastards are gunna release when we all leeeassst expect it

green lighted cert process, not what comes after that! :rolleyes:

Don't you go all game developer on me! :happy:

why not? :devil:

If you mean Spartan, don't listen to him =P The last time he actually had some useful information we didn't already know was about never :laugh: ;)

and when was the last time you posted "useful information we didn't already know"? :p

What seems more important from Spartan's point of view, leaking some information to the Neowin community or keeping his job that allows him to eat, pay rent, pay his bills and pay for his car(or bike).

Oh god, can't even say anything as a joke before everyone crawls out from beneath the rock to throw a bit of "Mature wisdom" at you.

It was a joke, relax.

were supposed to get some grand new demo information here in the next 12 hours about Forza 2

http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/thread/114766.aspx

im quite excitied, maybe well even be able to play it today now that the update is out

Don't get your hopes up man, I have pretty much given up hope for the demo. Got it pre-ordered and it's out in 2 weeks, I will be able to drool over it once we get it in at GameStop and then be tormented even more :p

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
