    I don't know about anyone else but I'm excited. I have class at 3:30 tomorrow so I got a late night in me. The cars included in the demo are as follows:
     

    2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR
    2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro
    2009 Ferrari California
    2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR
    2009 Mini John Cooper Works
     
    Thanks to the Kotaku article for that list.
     
    Is anyone else gonna stay up for some sweet Audi action?

    Probably more like 2AM PST, that's the usual uptime.  Sometimes stuff goes up early, sometimes it goes up very very late.

    Generally around 2AM Pacific. sometimes a tad earlier or later. At least that's how it is with Rock Band tracks.

    Aw man I was driving through Arizona for a little while on my way back from Vegas and I was trying to listen to a Cardinals game, but the mountains kept blocking the radio signal. Yeah that had no connection to this topic but for some reason I was reminded of that when I saw Arizona.

    I'm watching Harold and Kumar 2 so I'm not bored yet. It's almost over though.    : (
     
    I better turn my 360 on and start looking out for the demo sometime soon though. It feels like I've been waiting forever to play this game. I wonder how GT5 fans feel.   :P

    Maybe. I don't know how often that's the case, it doesn't seem like very often. However I never really pay attention due to my automatic renewing membership.

    Most big name game demos are. Whatever, I guess I'll just wait a little longer.

    Awesome, big day for demos. I just hope everything comes up smoothly on the marketplace. It seems like there's always issues on the days something I want is being released. (I'm lookin at you Shadow Complex)

    Thanks for the link. I had to do the same thing to trick my Xbox into downloading Shadow Complex. Hoping it downloads fast!

    No problem guys, The driving feels much better than Forza 2. Cars feel heavier and the crashing feels more satisfying too! Of course I've only played cockpit view so far. It might not feel the same with a different perspective.

    I haven't played Forza 2 and I'm not usually a big sim fan, so I can't really do any kind of comparasion.. 
    But the game felt great to me, especially the environments.  It's a very beautiful looking game.
     
    Starting off on medium, I really didn't like the amount of assists that are active, it almost feels as if the car is glued to the racing line.  You can still mess up, it's definitely not too easy, but it feels a little too much like auto-pilot for me.  Bumping it up to hard felt a lot more natural, and that's still with most of the assists on.  I think that's one thing the game does really well, it suits a whole range of players.  More advanced players can go all out and play it 100% realistically, and if you somehow suck more than me, you can scale things back and let the game give you a hand.
     
    Speaking of which, I liked the rewind feature a lot.  Again, I'm sure the more advanced players will scoff at that a little, but it's nice to be able to go back and repeat a line without having to restart the whole race.  It helps you evaluate what you did wrong, so you can get better at the game without being punished too heavily.  I liked the A.I. a lot too, even from the demo you can see a lot of different styles.. some cars will ram right into you at the start and just try to shunt you out of the way, while others will chicken out and move out your way to give you room to take over.

    Link is still broken on xbox.com, which is kind of annoying. I'll just download this when I get home from school today.

    Yeah, I just started downloading it. It isn't listed under most recent demos though. I had to browse all games and go into the Forza 3 to find it.
     
    Unfortunately, the Brutal Legend demo is still nowhere to be found.

    "I haven't played Forza 2 and I'm not usually a big sim fan, so I can't really do any kind of comparasion..  But the game felt great to me, especially the environments.  It's a very beautiful looking game.  Starting off on medium, I really didn't like the amount of assists that are active, it almost feels as if the car is glued to the racing line.  You can still mess up, it's definitely not too easy, but it feels a little too much like auto-pilot for me.  Bumping it up to hard felt a lot more natural, and that's still with most of the assists on.  I think that's one thing the game does really well, it suits a whole range of players.  More advanced players can go all out and play it 100% realistically, and if you somehow suck more than me, you can scale things back and let the game give you a hand.  Speaking of which, I liked the rewind feature a lot.  Again, I'm sure the more advanced players will scoff at that a little, but it's nice to be able to go back and repeat a line without having to restart the whole race.  It helps you evaluate what you did wrong, so you can get better at the game without being punished too heavily.  I liked the A.I. a lot too, even from the demo you can see a lot of different styles.. some cars will ram right into you at the start and just try to shunt you out of the way, while others will chicken out and move out your way to give you room to take over.

    Your analsys is right on!

    Yeah the A.I has beef with me, they've tail spun me quite a few times now for bumping into them haha. As for Hard, that's what I'm playing on just with realistic damage.

    " also, brutal legend is up now. gonna play that and then sleep. "
    Link is still broken on xbox.com, which is kind of annoying. I'll just download this when I get home from school today. "
    brutal legend was harder to find than forza. i had to go to 'all demos' and find it.
