Forza 3

The Fanatec is supposed to be at least as good as the G25 in most areas and better in some!

hmmmm... i may consider splashing out on yet another wheel then, exept at the time the g25 was god and th only game on sexbox worth playing was forsa 2 and i needed driver seat view and more realism, the kind that sinbin can do so sweetly, but i may have to consider the fanatec as forsa looks to good to be true and my bro is weilding me up a gaming race frame!

Loving the crisp new menus.

for those who use a G25 and are pissed off that it wont work on the sexbox, fear not there is a answer.

sexy kit, and it works with g25 pedals instead of the plastic s**t they sell, and the adapter to link the g25 shifter isnt very expensive. shame its 200 euros and a 3 month wait. b*****ds

The Fanatec wheels are immense

 

[clio_mad]

Can't wait! Not long to go.

Loving the crisp new menus.

I do like the new menu set-up, the one of Forza2 is lacking in areas. I hope the on-line menu will be easier to get along with when searching for races etc.

i really hope this is released ontime!

would you say better than the G25

 

[Gaz.]

Looks damn good.

 

[Cliotoby]

Funnily enough I bought the koenigsegg last night, its a pretty good car

Tis a beast once its been 'charged isnt it.

 

[Christopher]

It's supercharged anyway.

 

[Gally]

you using a controller to play Chris?

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, nowhere to store a wheel/wheelrig in my apartment.

 

[Gally]

Ah! Are people much quicker round a lap with a controller?

I always wished I had the space for a seat, wheel and pedals!

[Turkish]

I posted these already short lad

 

[Brazo]

Have they increased the maximum online players from 8?

 

[Turkish]

Nope at tbh given the hosting works on a P2P Basis & the fact that even in a room of "known" drivers even 8 can result in mass pile ups I don't have an issue with it.

 

[Turkish]

I'm hearing rumours that there will be two reveals today (read as tonight)

These pics are all offscreen taken with an iphone so poor quality.

 

[Turkish]

This will cheer up lovers of the prancing horse.

yep, love the Ferraris, probably what I drive most in Forza 2.

 

[Cupster]

^ F40, FXX. Love em

Oooh a new track? Sounds like it's going to be Fiorano, unless Mugello hasn't been announced yet.

 

[Christopher]

Fiorano would be quite cool, if a little dull.

Give us Spa, you c*nts!

 

[Brazo]

Hmm 8 is a bit poor tbh, xbox managed 12 for Grid and the amount you pay for live it would be nice for some (any!) server support.

 

[Turkish]

It managed 12 at 30FPS with an arcade physics engine not a 360 FPS physics engine which models tyre deformation, chassis flex etc though

The 360 hardware is going to be creaking under the pressure of Forza 3 as it is with 8 cars.

 

[Brazo]

Hmm I do wonder about this tyre flex stuff just because they say it does will we really know????

 

[powey]

I test the 4x4 ability and brakes...

 

[Turkish]

You'll be testing the roll cages this time round

Hmm I do wonder about this tyre flex stuff just because they say it does will we really know????

Everyone who's played it so far (some veteran Forza drifters and racers who've been at events) seem convinced.

No reveal today apparently tomorrow as it's tied in with an Australian release. No idea whether this means it will be more info on Aussie V8's and potentially Bathurst or not.

 

[Turkish]

Che Team Forza:
Yup, PR is having me hold my announce until tomorrow morning.

Both announcements will go out tomorrow. One of them is a video, the other one is a Pitpass Report.

Then we'll have another Pitpass Report by the end of the week on what we've announced in the video.

The video is exclusive to another website for a few days.

There you have it. Sorry you guys were scrambling and looking for info today.

There's a pretty decent preview in the new Gamesmaster Magazine, too. Only gets a 4/5 rating (preview score), and the downside being that most of the cars are on a second disc which needs to be installed to get the best out of it. Like that's a f*cking negative. Who cares? Get it installed!

There's also a decent interview with Dan Greenwalt (director)

 

[Turkish]

Knows, both discs will be getting installed on my machine. Will keep DVD drive abuse to a minimum and speed up the loading times.

 

[Gareth]

agreed, I've invested in an Elite for extra storage space.

 

[Turkish]

Road America confirmed.

[Brazo]

It does impact upon those without a hd and those with the 13gb hd

 

[Turkish]

Let's be fair though it's not something you can hold against Turn 10 or Forza 3. It's an MS/hardware issue. No doubt they could have limited the content to what would fit on a DVD but then you'd have moaning about a lack of cars and/or tracks. They can't win really. Hopefully a blueray based Xbox replacement will see Forza 4 with even more tracks and cars.

It will be interesting in the latter part of the 360's lifespan to see if many/any other titles have to do the same to get out all the content they need.

I don't doubt it does it for one second. If they've got an accurate tyre model, which they will have, then it should happen naturally.

It happens in F1. If I lower the tyre pressure you can see the tyre moving around on the rim, just as a real tyre would. With really odd figures in I can get tyres that move like a jelly. lol
