GDC 07: The Forza 2 Super Set Up with 4 Screens Posted by XanTium | March 6 23:54 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From kotaku.com: [QUOTE] We'd heard talk that Turn 10's Forza Motorsport 2 would support up to eight monitors, but Forza community manager and former game journo Che Chou told me that the Xbox 360 sequel would only work with five monitors and five tandem Xboxes. This clip shows the much-more reasonable four monitor scenario, with a tiny Lilliput LCD screen taking on rearview mirror duties. [/QUOTE] Full Story: kotaku.com

Sweet! Now if only I had four more 360s... and five flat panels... oh, and a whole lot of money too...



Still, sweet nonetheless

thats a little much...but i loooove much

Holy Crap. Talk about over kill. But that is sweeeet. Lets see PS3 do that! Thats a lot of money to accomplish, but still none the less that is bad ass. Can you say Gran Touriswho

I've always had thought of something like this...this is COCAINE. Hey guys, can I borrow a few bucks?

Did anyone here ever try it (at home) with Forza for the Xbox?

It would be awesome if they logged and showed how many people actually ever tries this feature. I'm guessing you could count them all on one hand.

hes not a very good driver and to the setup

That is really cool. When does Forza 2 come out, anyway?

Yes, I've done it a few times.

I did it on forza (the first one) on XBOX and even played on kai with it, I only have 3 xboxes (mine and the kids' lol)

I had a normal screen, a rear view screen, and the tv camera angle screen (which was awesome)
the tv angle screen looked so real it was like watchin me on TV racin in my customized Enzo with the pot leaf on the hood.

Run Forza On Multiple Screens
Run Forza On Multiple Screens
This describes how to run Forza on multiple screens as shown in big events setup by Microsoft.

Note: For this to work, you MUST have a seperate Xbox and copy of Forza for EVERY additional screen you wish to use, and all Xboxes must be on the same network together.

1. Start all your individual copies of Forza.
2. On each copy of the game, go to the Options menu, scroll to the very bottom ("Credits"), then press the left control stick in and down. This will cause another option, "Network Cockpit Settings" to appear. On your main screen, select host, on each other screen, select which view you would like the screen to show.
3. Now all the screens but the host screen should be waiting for you to start a race. Using the host screen, start a game, and the other boxes will automatically load the track and their individual views.
4. Enjoy Forza like never before.

incredible, I never even knew that

thats sick. cant wait for forza 2 to come out!

No kidding, I might have to dig out a few other xboxs I have laying around.

why would you need a whole lost of money after you had the 360's and flat panels?

Wow! thats awsome, i have a couple of friends with 360's mabie i can try that when forza2 comes out. i guess that guy just needed one more screen not to suck... too bad.

I want to do 3 projector screens.

That's too fuc@ing cool!! . Wish I had the money to try it.

that would work so much better, multiple screen setups are whack because of the big gaps between screens

Too bad he can´t drive

The electricity bill would be awfully large running all that in tandem. Hell you might need a seperate generator so you wont blow the fuse.

That's awesome!!! I also had no clue that could be done. I have 3 xboxs and Forza though, so I might try it tonight. Unfortunately I can't get everything in one room, but I have a projector, 26 inch HDTV, 27 inch SDTV, and a 17 inch LCD I could use, but don't have a VGA cable. Maybe I'll get a VGA cable soon and play it on the projector and have the LCD as a rearview mirror.

That's pretty damn slick, but a little too costly for me. I'll be pinching pennies to pick up the racing wheel and a copy of the game when it comes out.

cool but

holy molly thats gona cost you

do you need a HDD to play this game ??? for the updates ? i was so piid off when i got my core system and copy of PG3 i pluged it all in and went to live and bam you need to update but sorry you dont have any storage even the mem card wasnt enouth

SO lets base this on core systems

4 X xbox 360 = £800

4 X Lcd monitors ( lets go for crapy cheap 1s ) = ~£400

4 X copy of the game ( lets say £40 at realease ) = £160

4 X electric ( 170 watts per 360 ) = 600 watts + lcd monitors = ~ 1 Kw Hour :/


Grand total = £1360 + what ever you eleci bill is just to play Forza 4 screens

got all mine on order now thats untill the company realises im not going to be able to pay for it all

LoL now if it run of just one Xbox 360 that would be teh sex.

I have two Xbox 1's, maybe I should try this with Forza 1.

The guy talking sounded like Major Nelson in the reply "oh wow", I hope he wasn't driving

I always said they should of done multi video outputs for the xbox360

wth??

This'll be used by maybe .0001% of the people who buy the game, at most....

just use a small room and have like projectors and align them up to match perfect and then play with no black patch in the screen cus its annoying to have that lol. just try to imagine that one ey people projectors and itll be like your in the game rracing " hey bro that you in front of me!" "dunno lemme turn my REAL HEAD REAL quick... wait yea that you behind me" or set up a system in a car were the windows are the screens of the game lol with a rear view mirror that works to lol how bout that one OOOOO i wish i was b-gates i'd have the money to do that lol.

ehh, i would like to see anyone who has this kind of a set up in their own house

sweet! and this works for xbox one too? well i just happen to have a 3 moniter system on my desktop. the center is a hd lcd with all kinda of inputs, but the other two are 19 lcd monitors. i have like 6 xbox and several copies of that game floating around...looks like i'm going to be lookin into vga boxes for the outside monitors!!!!

wait i think my twin matching qomsmio media center laptops have a/v inputs...going to try it now

This feature is sweet, I mean If you have alot of dedicated 360 and forza fans this wouldn't be that hard of a task to accomplish.

3 friends + 4 xbox 360s + 4 screens + 4 copies of the game + racing wheel = Great racing party night.

even if you get bored of the multiscreen setup you could just play a lan to finish out the night.

We have done a 3 projector setup with forza1, I had 2 projectors and a mate brought his benq over.

It was bloody incredible, one of the guys got motion sickness.

NEC 6PG+ for the fron't screen running at 3.5m (about 11ft) wide, NEC 6PG for the left view at 2m (7ft or so) wide, BENQ dlp for the right view at 1.8m wide (6ft wide), it was truly freaky at high speed, now if they would just do it for burnout it would be really trippy!!!

this setup looks awesome but does any one now actually how many screens u can have running ive heard u can have up to 11 screens. can any one clarify if this is true

All you had to do was read the article, go figure.
