Forza 3

I realised last night that I still hate Sebring

Awful dull track

 

[Scutch]

The only thing that's niggled me so far is the steering wheel in the c*ckpit view. In reality, you'd be putting opposite lock on heading into and out of some corners, but I don't think I've seen it turn more than a few degrees. Still, tiny thing and not really an issue.

I also noticed that when I was chasing a Focus ST in the Fiat via c*ckpit view, the Focus didn't see to have a driver - or at least one wasn't visible. Is this normal?

LOL. I hate the noise they've added on the concrete blocked section, but it's authentic now lol. I hate Sedona the most, it's an awful track.

I need to adjust my cockpit I think.. when driving the 33 GTR, you can't see either the wing mirrors or the internal mirror within the default FOV

Very cool

^Shame they still only race standard cars. So you can effectively blitz the races by upgrading your car to the championship threshold. R Class races can be challenging, but I haven't had too much trouble as of yet. Nearly finished the R2 championship.

Si you've put the same wheels on your AE86 as me. Work Equip FTW.

My ban has also been changed from 20 years to 1 week. So I'll be back online and trading next Wednesday!

They aren't my pics fella. Hence why I posted them in this thread not the CS pics thread.

I've only got a Fit, Brera, 500, Hakosuka and Scirocco so far. Only picked the Fit and the Hakosuka the rest are gift cars.

i did the multiscreen FOV last night. really works and gives the cockpit a far better feel.

Goto profile, turn on multiscreen, set bottom setting to 90 degrees for the most zoomed out view - i set it to 65 degrees. Then it will reset the game.

You can't pan around the cockpit, but can still view out of left and right windows.

I set mine to the same.

Was a bit miffed about not being able to look around, but I got over it. :clown:

got the dispatched email at 9am yesterday (and yes from play so it will using the royal fail)

I think it'll be tuesday at the very earliest that it turns up...

 

[Scutch]

really? thats interesting....i do live in a rather small village so I'm wondering if they are continuing to work round my way too?!?

Ooh I forgot, I tried a drag race out in free play with a Veyron.. had it on auto so it was over in just over 10 seconds

 

[Wilkeh]

Love the game. Bought a CTR, the interior is perfect. The car even hit's Vtec and sounds EXACTLY like mine does. Spend about 2 hours making some numbers plates last night. I'll get some pics, they look great!

 

[Cookie]

I got some plates from a guy on the marketplace called Numero I think (He posts on Pistonheads)

 

[Scutch]

The number plates do make the car stand out in a unique way. On the track, the M3 looks great with the plates on. My little daughter was even saying, "Daddy's car?" when it came on.

Say what? How does that work?

is this worth buying?

Ok guys, so I have a PS3, and i'm thinking long and hard about picking up the elite pack today or tomorrow (360 elite 250GB with Forza 3), i'm just concerned spending so much, on what is one game really, is a bit OTT...

Bascially i'm asking, will I like Forza 3, is it worth it ?

I do love the graphics of GT5, but I find the whole GT experience since 3 on the PS2 to get boring fast, and quite sterile and cold, basically in the hunt for realism they have lost any form of fun to be had from the game...

Have any of you lot experienced say GT4 on PS2 and GT5 on PS3, and also played Forza 3.. How do they compare ?

The Storefront doodaa.. go have a look at it

People have made vinyl groups for UK plates

There are a few of us on here (myself and Christopher included) who are self professed life long GT fanboys from GT1 through to GT4. Forza is a breath of fresh air IMO. It's not as crisp visually and the car models are slightly off in places but aside from that it's a far better game than GT currently is.

Livery editor, Bodykits, wheels etc can all be used to make cars feel more your own than standard bodied factory colour only efforts in GT. The AI feels more real than the procession of dumb cars following an invisible line in GT online is awesome with some of the guys on here when you have some close fought races.

The Physics engine is far and away (IMO) better than the one in GT5p.

Bunghole, just popped home to see if they'd tried to deliver it. Missed the postie by 5 minutes. Got to wait until tomorrow now to pick it up. Missus was out tonight as well

 

[Nickl182]

Just rang my local Asda and it goes on sale at 12.01 tonight. Got to be done though!

I think so and I did buy a 360 just for this game

It has just arrived at work

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Mortster you don't need an Elite if you're just buying an xbox for Forza3. You could get a used premium on eBay for 100 and then forza for 40.

 

[Scutch]

Very cool, mate

 

[richy22]

Vids of you unwrapping it??

Pretty box

Add me to the list of professed life ling GT fans. I still am. But as turkish said FM3 is a breah pf fresh air. Even FM2 felt very different to GT. YOu can drift the cars takes practise. But even in GT5P the drifting sint quite there, the same as turning the abs off in GT you dont get much fee.

FM2 online with your mates or CS guys is awesome fun. And I get the feeling that GT is going to struggle to match FM3 for online play.

I picking up my FM3 xbox bundle tomorrow.

Of course there will be, who could live without that?!!!

Awesome Paintjob!

This new grid painting thing is really gonna improve the amount of time it takes to make awesome patterns

I wish I had the patience to use it TBH. Have so many ideas, but no patience to paint them!

I really want a wheel, but I've got nowhere to mount it.

I'm ordering a wheel stand from here as soon as I'm paid next wednesday. I've had the 360 wheel for 2 years now and only used it for 10 minutes as I've not got anywhere to mount it.

On one of my early races in the Fiat 500, I noticed a couple of AI cars spinning off the track ahead of me and taking bad lines. Nice touch

That 500 is a bit lary... lift of oversteers all the time, I even got some drift achievement accidentally when driving it

The only thing that's niggled me so far is the steering wheel in the c*ckpit view. In reality, you'd be putting opposite lock on heading into and out of some corners, but I don't think I've seen it turn more than a few degrees. Still, tiny thing and not really an issue.

+1, the steering wheel doesn't move anywhere near as much as it should. I understand the reasons why they can't do the gear change animations but I don't know why they've made the steering ones so poor.

My main niggle has been the popup I've seen with the detail on the back of some cars. It was most noticable one a Mazda 3 I was racing against, the badges on the back kept flashing on and off.
