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

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..

You can :D

Going to have to pre-order this now -.-

Forza's Website said:
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.
 
I bought one last night, for the money it's fabulous.

Popped to B&Q lunchtime for some timber to make a little stand/table for it.
 
Is there somewhere where I can compare ltd edition to standard so I can see the differences

Ive just been looking at preorder bundles of a 250GB elite with FM3 for £250, I would hope this would be the ltd ed version (Im sure Ive seen 250GB elite's for £200) - can anyone confirm?

I dont think there was anything else in the bundle to account for price difference of std edition for that price

(is there dlc content to make std to sp ed - I know there is a usb key and stuff, but there is game stuff as well extra isnt there?)

Apologies if its already been answered

edit - from IGN

Sure, you'll need to earn some credits to make your purchases, but if you can drum up a million creds, you can take the Bugatti Veyron for a spin. If you've played racing games your entire life, this fact alone may just blow your stack. It goes against everything we've ever thought about racing games. You're supposed to start with crappy cars, suffer through a few hours of slow-paced driving, then graduate to a sleeker class of vehicle. Well, Forza 3 is throwing racing conventions out the window. Hallelujah.

I cant see why this makes a difference - you still need to earn the money to buy each car, which surely means you complete the harder races to get money faster to buy the car you want more quickly....no different from having the cars slowly unlocked race by race (ok you get more choice rather than a few in each class or whatever but its not a "throwing racing conventions out the window" really either imo

(a little exaggeration isnt bad at all, but its not a great hoopla either lol

Car list has got me excited but, I'm sure this has been asked but I can't find the answer, does anyone know how the disc situation will work.

Hoping to pick this up early but if the supermarkets keep doing these cheap deals then I may attend a midnight launch to save some cash!

Disc 2 is installed to xbox just like you would with any other dlc content, there are four seperate blobs to install on your xbox totalling 1.9ish gb. But you don't have to install all or any of them to play the game with disc1. There is also some free DLC on release day too.

Although no one has mentioned anything about how installing disc1 to HD will affect loading times or whatnot though.
 
Seems my Xbox heard me bad mouthing the wheel, had some free time so fired up Forza 2 to drive my Hachiroku around Mugello, it crashed and now RROD goodness, yay.

Spot on thanks. Can't wait for this game :D
 
Another review here:

http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1778/Forza-Motorsport-3/p1/

Have to admit don't entirely agree with that review as far as graphics go, admittedly just comparing the demo but Forza 3 does look great, photo-realistic? no.

The lack of big damage modelling doesn't bother me though, i'll be playing the game to race not too do massive crashes (Although I am sure that will come at some point :D).

Ah, but in Forza 2, you needed to be at a certain level too, not in Forza 3 though.
 
Just a strange thing i thought while looking down the Car list, theres no normal Nissan GT-Rs? Only Race spec car. Is it just me who thinks the only reason this could be is that PD designed the dash on the production car and T10 didnt want to or couldnt use it? Pretty sure the whole dash thing is in NFS Shift so it cant be a PD only thing hmmm :confused:
