***The Official Forza Motorsport 3 Thread***

Ah success! I worked out why I was being such a tool, I look forward to joining the fanatec club with this game

Hurray!!

 

[Wagon_Power]

Really looking foward to this now Will there be a way of transferring any cars or credits from Forza 2 like Gran Turismo lets you?

Nope.. Car setups have changed and FM2's economy was awash with glitched cr's.

Fresh start is for the best..

 

[FrankJH]

May well buy an X360 just for this (as GT5 is taking sooooooooooo long)

Had one on first release but sold it after Forza 2 I think

Im not sure they need quite so many seemingly identical cars /near identical apart from racing logos etc but still realy looking forward to it (due to cost of new elites - as I believe this is best option - wont be going for a wheel as well)

IGN Review is up - 9.4

"One of the best racing games ever made."

So glad I got the LE.

This is what i didnt like about Forza 2 :

As much as I enjoy Forza 3, I found the final season to be a real struggle to complete. What was joyous and new in the earlier seasons felt tedious by the end. Granted, many will never play long enough to reach this point and some will be thrilled at the endurance races that await, but for me, it wasn't as rewarding as the earlier seasons.

Is there a track list yet?

 

[Spunj99]

Woo, Integra DC2 confirmed, time to represent!

 

[merlin]

Just bought an MS wheel last night in advance of this.

Happy with it, mile better than the pad, better lock to lock control for catching the rear end when it lets go suddenly, easier to not lock the brakes too.

 

[oli collett]

The car list is a bit odd - there's some cars in there that I'm really not bothered about, some missing, and others that don't even make sense.

FM3's got a big partnership with Audi, and they've included the old RS6, but not the new one? They don't have the TT-S or TT-RS either, yet they have the 2007 TT 3.2 Quattro - they wouldn't need to do a lot to re-model that? Strange.

It'll still be an amazing game though! IGN Review looked good. I was surprised that there's no penalty for the rewind function - I thought there would at least be lost %age credits

 

[GravyMonster]

I thought it odd too about lack of penalty for using the rewind. At least the rewound laps are marked when viewing the leaderboards though.

Fair amount of tracks

Wouldn't mind getting this for the drift community but that usually takes a while to build up

 

[Demon]

The two launch download tracks that even the Journo's haven't played look interesting.. here's a shot of one from FM.NET

Looks very Ken Block inspired if you ask me.. assuming we can drive in that hangar, then expect some cool Ken Block wannabe video's landing soon..

Looks 'open plan' from this one as well..

Stacks of tyres and a hangar, is this is the love child of Ken Block's Airfield meets Top Gear test track?

 

[Nimzicki]

Ooohh, I was wondering if they would include a open playground like that so you could practice drifting (as a result of my complete failure at it in the demo, naturally) and that does look very Ken Block inspired, here's hoping

 

[Spunj99]

That does look fun for when you just wanna chill with a couple of mates in awesome cars.

You WILL be able to drive in the hanger. I'm so glad they've added an open playground to mess around in
