Forza images (is that 3D grass?)

Forget about all this TGS business. Let's talk about this shot from Forza 2. Damn, that is one pretty car. Seriously, just look at it. Damn. Over the past few weeks, however, we've come to realize that pretty cars don't matter, apparently. No, what real racing enthusiasts crave is 3D grass. Why? We have no earthly idea, but it seems to be the holy grail of racing games. So, is that 3D grass? We're voting no. Check out more shots over at Xboxygen and decide for yourselves.

1. According to Gamespot's impressions from the TGS build, there is indeed modelled grass in Forza 2. And I quote:

This version of Tsukuba is a significant step up from the previous game, however, with much more detail around the track including more signage and safety barriers, and even modeled grass for those areas that feature something other than run-off gravel.

So it would seem fair to suggest that the grass is indeed 3D. It'll be interesting to see that in motion, especially as you careen off the track.

2. Damn this looks good. I can't wait to sink my teeth into Forza for some driving action.

Anyone heard the rumours that Gran Tourismo HD will ship without any of the 750 cars and that the player will have to buy them at 50 cents a pop? Insane. Completely insane.

Not only insane, but completely bogus. Why on earth would they ship a game with 0 cars? Just look at the backlash against the Horse Armor in Oblivion.

Now imagine that for EVERY CAR IN THE GAME.

Come on.

7. I don't give a fuck about 3-D grass, most likely i'll be flying past it at 120+ anyway!
