Forza 3

[Scutch]

Indeed Chris. How is family life with 2 little 'uns now? Will you have enough time to play this?

I always thought having two wee buggers running around would be the last thing on my mind, but now I'm warming to it. Just wonder how much of my playing time it will eat up

The video above is great. Hopefully another installment of info today.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Cant see the video on these shitty computers in work
Will have to wait till I get home :dapprove:

Hi m8

Its great tbh...the gap between them (4 years) is just right imo. Abi is always trying to help with Sadie and Sadie is a giant! She is just 4 months old and 3-6 month stuff is pretty much too small especially in the length of her legs...everything that fits her length is too long in the sleeves lol

Leggy daughter, I spy trouble ahead in about 15 years time. Prepare the Bad Boys 2 reenactment to put the lads off when they rock up at the door.

 

[Scutch]

LOL!

 

[Gally]

Awesome scene and I shall be using it when my little un is old enough to date.... 30!

 

[Chris n nic]

Not much dating going on in the convent lol

Chris

 

[Gally]

[Turkish]

[Scutch]

LMAO!

How fast does the Japanese guy talk in the first minute - jeeeez. Plus I'm not too aroused by the odd braking techniques of the AI. There's no need to brake 15 times before the corner.

Will watch the vid properly after work

 

[ado]

Kinda normal for cantonese.

Hopefully my 360 won't break before I get the game.

I noticed that as well but I hope it was because it wasn't the final version

[Turkish]

I approve, it will be like racing with some people on here, brake testing bunch of f***s

 

[Gally]

Lols not all of us are amazing c**t face!

 

[Gaz.]

No it does my head in on Forza 2 when the AI brake randomly mid corner, especially in close race series' like the JGTC, you just end up with a smashed up car and they drive off casually.

 

[Turkish]

I'm talking about the deliberate ones, not those who do it by accident

As for career doesn't really bother me, once I've nailed all the events I'll only be playing online anyway. I'd imagine any brake jabbing in that video is on the lower difficulty level anyway tbh.

 

[powey]

I usually brake a few seconds after the person in front, makes for some amusing gaming

 

[BioHzrd]

Anyone know if your gonna be able to do designs in the like of PS then import them to game ??

 

[Turkish]

I'd guess at a no. It will take the skill element away from painting and completely alienate the community (some people soley paint don't race on Forza) if they do. Will also effect the in game economy if everyone was able to copy and paste items on their cars.

 

[mikey_172]

how many players does it allow on live more than forza 2 ?

 

[Chris n nic]

You brake?!

Defo no chance of the importing thing...in one interview the designers were saying how inpressed they were that people made such good paintjobs with just shapes so they will just give them more control over the designs

 

[Turkish]

how many players does it allow on live more than forza 2 ?

Still 8, which tbh on most tracks is enough. It's only on things like the 'ring you wish for more as people get spread out and some end up racing alone.

It would be nice to have more but when you consider peoples flakey connections and mixed skill levels of drivers any more would probably result in alot of frustration anyway.

 

[Gareth]

agreed

 

[Brazo]

I really rate the ingame car designing but they could open it up to all with imported pics rather than this shape building that only a few can do

 

[Turkish]

More Ferrari's are up.

Again over 40 pics so you can check the gallery rather than me copying and pasting the links.

my god they look amazin

 

[bigpoppa81]

ive been folllowing this thread since day one, and ive always been a big gt nerd, only cos im a big car fan, but ive got a xb360 now cos i couldnt wait any longer for the next gt so i got rid of my ps3. Now i really cant wait for this game now (forza) , i just can see how the next gt can be better?

This game really does have it all! the cars that are in it are the ones that i always wanted when i used to play the gran turismo games. The graphics are as good as it gets, the car line up, the overal polish is second to non and the only card the grand turismo has in its line up is the top gear content, but the way its been delayed and delayed it would have to move the world to live up to the bench mark forza 3 is making.

Forza has won this round.
I wouldnt be suprised if sony realised this and just kept this upcoming gt for the next ps

 

[dk]

ok, now i might fall into the same trap as last time but i think this is hot off the press, as well as releasing a MW2 360 bundle, MS have announced an F3 bundle too, £250 with a 250gb hdd, 2 wireless controllers, a headset and a copy of the game.

As i have the NVG version of MW2 pre-ordered i think i might get this bundle instead, sounds cool.

apparently it won't get the custom designed case like the MW2 one, and the 250gb hdd will not be made available separately supposedly.

 

[Scutch]

I would.

 

[BioHzrd]

i kinda want the MW 360 !!!

any pics of said Forza one ?

 

[dk]

can't find any but like i said its not got a custom design, they are calling it a super elite, so i guess its just an elite with a 250gb hdd?

 

[BioHzrd]

id asume so black 250gb hdd blah blah n Forza thrown in

 

[Brazo]

Its true DK its on Gamespot!

 

[kevin_172]

limited edition ordered oh how i cant wait for this!!!!

 

[Turkish]

Gamersyde probably the only place you can get a pretty decent res/frame rate clip on now have this up. Old track but still.

Ferrari pit pass Part 2

Forza Pitpass Report: The Ferrari Collection Pt. 2

From Maranello with love.

<img id="ctl00_ctl00_Full_Main_ctl00_EktronContent1_ctl00_uxLogo" class="logo"> Che Chou and Evan Griffey, 9.17.2009







Welcome to Day 2 of the Forza Motorsport 3 Ferrari collection showcase. In case you missed the Italian stallions we revealed yesterday, as well as some info about our newest track The Amalfi Coast, check them out in all their glory here. Be sure to check back at Forzamotorsport.net tomorrow for more Ferrari fetish!

See the official day 2 Screenshot gallery here.

1969 Ferrari 246 Dino GT

The Dino, named after Enzo’s son Alfredino who passed away in 1965, is Ferrari’s first mid-engine road car. At 198 horsepower, the 246, which means 2.4-liter V6, is one of the lowest-output Ferrari’s ever. Still, the car is a favorite among Ferrari aficionados. It has no Ferrari badging and from ’69 to ’73, only 2,478 units were produced, making this a very rare breed indeed.






1984 Ferrari 288 GTO

This ain’t Thomas Magnum’s Prancing Horse, though it did hit the scene at peak of “Magnum PI’s” popularity. Also known as the 288 GTO for its 2.8-liter V8 engine, the GTO is true to its name as a homologation car, it was to serve as Ferrari Scuderia’s stepping stone to Group B racing. Unfortunately some serious wrecks brought Group B racing to an end before the GTO could rev its engine in anger. A technological wonder, the GTO flexes a twin turbo V8 rated at conservative 400 horsepower at 11.8 psi.









1998 Ferrari F333 SP

Giampiero Moretti, founder of Momo performance products and then-president of Ferrari North America, had a vision of Ferrari reentering prototype racing and “Il Sogno Americano” (the American Dream) became the internal name of what would become the F333. Looking at the alphabet soup, the 333 represents the single cylinder displacement of its V12 engine and SP denotes Sport Prototype. The F333’s swooping body was developed with Dallara and the engine was a 650 horsepower 4.0-liter V12 that fit into the IMSA rulebook like a glove. The engine revved to 12,000 rpm and rocketed the car to 230-mph top speeds, making this car one of the most visceral drives in Forza Motorsport 3. In 1998 the F333 SP won the Daytona 24 Hours race, the Watkins Glen event and the Sebring 12 Hour race in America as well as a victory at the Nurburgring in Germany.



2002 575M Maranello

In this grand touring beauty the 575 alludes to its displacement 5.75 liters, the ‘M’ designation means Modificata, a term used on Ferrari cars that are more updates than all-new models. Maranello is the city in which Ferrari SpA is based. The 575M is an evolution of the 550 with a bigger V12 rated at 515 hp, aero improvements, an adaptive suspension and Ferrari’s first use of a sequential semi automatic transmission on a V12 application. The F1 style gearbox was an option. The 575M, easily spotted via its hood scoop, is capable of 4.2-second 0-60s and .95gs on the skidpad.


2003 Ferrari 550 Maranello GTS

(Team Alphand Adventures & Labre Competition)
The 550 Maranello GTS came about because privateers wanted to run in the FIA GT Championship. Frederic In 2001, Prodrive had prepped a pair of 550s for competition. Prodrive strengthened the V12 and lowered its placement within the chassis, dropped the 550’s weight via carbon fiber to the rule-limit of 1,100kgs (2,420 pounds) and added downforce via body contour modifications and a large rear spoiler. In its third race out of the box the Care Racing/Prodrive 550 Maranello GTS saw its first of many checkered flags at the A1 Ring in Austria. After a complete season of development with numerous wins in 2002 the stage was set for complete domination. The Prodrive 550 Maranellos entered by the BMS Scuderia Italia team won the 2003 FIA GT Championship and the Veloqx Prodrive beat the top Corvette by 43 kilometers (about 26 miles) winning the GT class at Le Mans and finishing a respectable 10th overall. In 2004 BMS Scuderia Italia repeated as FIA GT champions.



2003 Ferrari Challenge Stradale

The Challenge Stradale is a $46,000 upgrade to the Ferrari 360 Modena. As Ferrari had done in the past, it often makes upgrades to a model as it is ending its production run. The Challenge Stradale, differentiated by a white racing stripe with red and green accents, was put on a diet of carbon fiber and titanium and is about 242 pounds lighter than a 360. Suspension tricks and other lessons learned on the racing circuit were brought to bear on the Challenge Stradale which has 25 more horsepower (425) than a regular 360.




2006 Ferrari F430GT

(Risi Competitizione, Tafel Racing, Farbacher Racing)

This racing version of the potent F430 was first campaigned in 2006 and it came out of the blocks with a vengeance, winning the American Le Mans team championship by Forza-sponsored privateers Risi Competizione. Ferrari employed carbon fiber, Kevlar, Nomex, and titanium to drop the F430 to its fighting weight of 2420 pounds. A 4.0-liter V8 detuned via 28mm air restrictors to 445 horsepower provides the thrust. Ferrari drivers Jamie Melo and Mika Salo won the last race in 2006 at Laguna Seca in the #62 Risi Competizione F430GT. In 2007, Turn 10 continued its sponsorship of the team and Risi picked up where they left off in ‘06, tallying four straight victories to start off the season. The #62 would ultimately win eight of the 12 races in 2007 en route to the American Le Mans Series GT2 class championship. The Tafel Racing F430GT was runner-up in the series in 2008. Since they are so evenly matched and the game has three different liveries (as well as any you can create or imagine), the F430GT is a great competitive car to make all your own in Forza.
