Forza 3

[micallef1990]

that in car view looks immense.

 

[Scutch]

lol, it's not NFS although on some of the cars in FM2 there were some questionable looking bodykits available.

Indeed. You could change the alloys and shizzle, too.

Is there some sort of time travel device we can use to check this game out in full? I'm up for a group buy.

Forza 2 was immense, but had some flawed issued. Forza 3 looks epic.

Jesus wept.

Also says Tuesday evening will be a more in-depth preview. Oh to work for IGN.

 

[Scutch]

But then there's also the new rewind functionality, which enables you to jump back five seconds in time to erase your mistakes. This isn't a feature new to racing games. Codemasters' Grid showcased a similar feature. But in Forza 3, it's more welcome. In Grid it was an "oops, I screwed up" button. And sure, I used it as a mulligan for when I slid out and slammed into a median. But really, the rewind function is going to be a learning tool because Forza 3 is all about the subtleties of accelerating and braking. And each car reacts differently, even if it's just in subtle ways. As a practice tool, rewinding is going to help you learn the right speed for a turn.

Interesting.

It needs Spa, though!

Agreed, althought for the p**n ive just seen i can live without it.

Nice but, as is so often the case, there's no way it can look that good. That looks like it's rendered at something like 2560x1600, or more. It looks awesome, but it won't look that awesome

Granted, the image size is 720, but it's either resized or using 16x AA. Thinking about it, as a static menu shot, it could be representative so I'll shut up.

 

[Turkish]

lol, if it's like the current menu system in Forza2 then it's representative of the car models if nothing else.

Yeah it looks good. I'm just saying that you shouldn't expect anything quite like that image in game. It's too high resolution. Albeit 720, but IMO scaled down and resampled from a high res render. Anyway, I'm splitting hairs. As long as it plays good, looks good and runs at 60fps I'm in.

Will the in car view actually be available, as it wasnt in the second one?

 

[Munson]

Apparently, yeah.

YES! does nobody read threads!

Here's the in game clip again.

[Scutch]

Can you post that clip up again, Si. I missed it :dapprove:

 

[Turkish]

Not as if I've not posted enough links with all the info is it. Do people need to be spoon fed everything 15 times before it sinks in ?

 

[Revels]

Is this confirmed?

 

[Scutch]

Any links to in-car footage?

 

[Christopher]

Forza 3 won't* have an in-car view.









*Will. I can't find the link though.

 

[Gareth]

GT5 has incar view, shame its unfinished and a remake of bumper cars.

 

[Christopher]

I so wanted GT5 to be awesome

C*nts.

 

[Scutch]

The in-car view on Forza 3 does look impressive. I'm hoping you can use the analogue stick to look around the cabin etc. Will make for some pretty interesting "I was looking at the stereo" cartwheeling moments.

 

[Turkish]

Trust me having seen the accidents that have happened as a result of simply trying to negotiate the first couple of corners on the ring you don't really need any more distractions for certain people lol.

 

[oska]

I hated the in car view on GT5P. You sit on the wrong f**king side which is pretty off putting.

 

[Alex H]

I just hope they haven't cut back on the important things like physics and performance, in the search for making it look all pwetty.

It needs Oulton Park to be complete...

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

Trust me having seen the accidents that have happened as a result of simply trying to negotiate the first couple of corners on the ring you don't really need any more distractions for certain people lol.

Lol, not when 8 people try and pile into the corners at once

 

[Turkish]

Cold tyres at the start of a race = first corner pile up when you've got 3 or 4 people who are "optomistic" with their braking points.

Alex, all the info I've read Landin and the likes have catagorically reassured people that Forza is not going arcade and that the physics have not turned into NFS/PGR they are going to be as realistic as possible so a tweek/evolution of the current engine. All they've done is improved some of the driver aids for occasional players who cant cope with the Sim nature of Forza 2

Optimistic: See also: Clueless. :dapprove:

Six restarts, anyone?

 

[Turkish]

If I had a penny for everytime you've been dumped into the pole or second position at Mugello with a grid of 8 of us and uttered oh FFS.

Yup! :dapprove:

 

[Chris n nic]

I really can't believe how perfect this all looks...I was hoping for some improvments but this is just superb!

If they have Oulton Park I would literally explode with delight....Think I will have to buy a scuba suit to try and stop my bodily parts flying off!

Just seen this and now I really can't wait!
