.DoNotDisplay { display: none; }Studio Tour: Journalists get a good look at Forza Motorsport 3.
Things were looking good around here on Tuesday night as we put the final touches on preparations for our first major studio tour since E3. With 8 gaming stations accompanied by our mighty hydraulic pod linked directly to our physics engine, we were set to showcase Forza Motorsport 3 on Wednesday afternoon. The audience? A group of 17 journalists from Europe, Japan and the United States all eager to hear about it…and of course get their swerve on with the full game.
Besides being the first group of people to actually play the full game, they also got the inside line on a host of new community features that we’ve cooked up for V3. I’ll save the details for another blog on another day, but at the end of it all we had 17 folks ready for more Forza action. A very good showing for Forza 3 and Turn 10, and we are all eagerly anticipating the steady stream of content that is sure to surface in the near future.
Of course for those of you who just can’t wait for another taste of awesome, we’ve lined up a new batch of sexy screens to release on the 27th of July. Remember every other Tuesday is Forza day, so when the time rolls around you better stop what you’re doing…find some internetz…and check out the new Forza 3 hotness.
For now check out a few shots I grabbed of our new hydraulic motion pod! Whoooo.
Peace

Not sure how many of you lot listened to the full podcast I linked there but the online lobby options are huge. So much potential for game types. Addition of the clutch button for manual shifting could be cool too.

I don't know tbh.... Been playing Forza 2 off an on since it came out & still haven't completed all the races. I think I am level 40 now, but is it just me that thinks "so what!"?. I mean yeah Forza 3 is gonna be a step up on 2, but in all honesty who can be bothered playing all way through the leveling system AGAIN and racing on the same god dam tracks + an extra few backwards.
I just can't be arsed playing racing games where its "been done" bar a few little touches each year or so. The Forza series & Gran Turismo series hasn't really changed much other than adding graphics, extra cars & tracks. I want evolution, not revolution!. Maybe I am just bored of playing Racing Games over the last 10+ years, but surely it can't just be me feeling like this? - or maybe there is?!.
