Forza 3

[Cookie]

Looks like we have to download some of the classics as Free DLC. Could have done without that seeing as my connection will probably take a week to do so!

The duo of maps accompanying them are the Benchmark High Speed Ring - a converted airfield and hangar (an "automotive playground") - and the Sidewinder Proving Grounds.

More interested in that

Awaits the Ken Block remakes in the hangar area/airfield lol

 

[Scutch]

Cool stuff

Will you ever sort your broadband out, Si? Like, ever? LOL.

i played the demo i didnt like it it was too slow

Really m8? What view are you using? On the incar/bumper view I thought it seemed pretty good even tho the speed is never too high due to the track...flying down the downhill section after the pit straight twitching about seems pretty quick to me

I've still not called them (a second time) I'll have to get round to giving someone some serious abuse. I know it's not an issue inside my place as I connected the router to the master socket, then the test socket and still 0 improvement in speed so it's either oversubscribed line (Most likely) or an issue somewhere between my place and the exchange.

I agree with this, okay the mini and evo don't feel that quick, but the R8 and Porsche on the downhill bit is definately gives a sense of speed same things.

I'd gone back and started a new game on Forza2 and spent part of the weekend on it. Loaded Forza3 last night and did about 40 laps on time trial and it feels a million times better. On Forza2 I found I could get away with some things I'm pretty sure you wouldn't in reality. Forza3 punishes you for these.

Force feedback is a lot stronger on Forza3 as well.

no the cars seemed decent enough i just fell asleep waiting for it to load from selecting car to starting to actually drive

 

[Turkish]

Loading times arent great on the demo I agree. Hopefully the full game will be quicker who knows. That said it's probably comparable or slightly quicker than GT5p.

 

[Nigel]

Sorry, didn't realise you meant loading times. That was an issue on Forza2 when waiting to race. There seems to be quite a delay from selecting your car, to selecting the colour to then adjusting the difficulty on Forza3.

Do ya think we'll get the coupon in the Forza game box?....

 

[Rhino172]

It's probably been mentioned and I've missed it but how big is the second disc as if if I were to install it to my hard drive? I only have a 20gig and it's currently only got 2 gig free.

I can loose a couple of demos that will save up probably another 2 gig but I don't want to be left with it completely full so I can't download any more demos later etc...

 

[Turkish]

IIRC about 1.9 luckily for you! lol

 

[Rhino172]

lol Ball-locks

where can I get one of those transfer cables so I can copy stuff over when I get round to getting a larger drive?

 

[Turkish]

Not sure, when I sold my 20gb for a 60gb I used my mates memory card and just transferred the files over in blocks.

From MS IIRC?

Edit: Ta daaaa http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/E6...grationorderformincludingEuropewithfax_EN.pdf

If you need a code for an Elite to get the cable, I'll pm you mine

 

[Rhino172]

cheers matey! might not need it yet, I'll see what other crap I have on my current drive that can be removed...

 

[Turkish]

New trailer, albeit mostly made up from older footage. f**king R8 rammed down our throats yet again!!

The Benchmark High Speed Ring is best described as an old airfield and hangar converted into a race track and automotive playground, perfect for all manner of creative “Forza Motorsport” hoonage and multiplayer mayhem. The track is characterized by 3.96 miles of rough surfaces and huge open areas, featuring a massive oval, an 8-lane drag strip, and an airplane hangar that players can drive (or drift) through.


lol, should be interesting

[mikey_172]

[Rhino172]

the 8 lane drag race sounds good

[Rhino172]

[mikey_172]

i know but to be honest id rather be looking at titties on the beach lol

i wonder how tunable the bugatti is surely thats a drag race winner when fully tuned up 2000 bhp maybe?

 

[Turkish]

lol, power doesn't mean alot. My F40 competizione from Forza two was knocking out a pitiful sub 700bhp but monstered the other guys 1000/1200 bhp U999 cars.

 

[Cookie]

The Garlic Eating Surrender Monkey seemed pretty smooth with his driving.. no surprise I guess

Pick your favorite Big Three manufacturer and go big time circle track racing. Forza 3’s intense physics model will allow you to also play the role of crew chief as you manipulate tire pressures, swap springs, adjust shock performance and add sway bars to these Monte Carlo SS; Dodge Charger and Ford Fusion stock cars then evaluate the changes at speed on the track. Test the changes at oval or oval-based circuits like Sedona, Sunset Peninsula and Twin Ring Motegi or go the road racing route at exotic venues such as Le Mans, the Nurburgring and Silverstone. With a common starting point truly talented tuners will rise to the top. Further these naked racers are screaming for lively liveries, making them prime targets for painters.
