Please please please please tell me there's an American Collectors Edition this time around Che. I have the PAL CE for Forza 2 but this time around I'm buying the NTSC version. If not, make sure the European version is region free if at all possible.

Did I mention how awesome this game looks by the way? Turn 10 delivers yet again.

Photomode is just giving the user the ability to create their own bullshots. All these games with photomode adds tons of AA and depth of field which in no way represents what the game looks like motion. I wanna see some framebuffer grabs :D

Definitely sounds very good indeed.

"Best looking racing game ever" or whatever can be debated, but it certainly looks visually accomplished, as in great. Proper damage and cars rolling is quite a feat. Cockpits is a welcome addition. 60 FPS once again is delightful. The tracklist is surely padded by reverse versions and all that, but even if there are only 40 actual tracks, that would actually not be so "only". And the fictional track on display here is looking spiffy. Always thought the fictional tracks in previous games were lacking, but this one looks cool. Replay/video editor is nifty and looks too good to be true judging by that video. Surely they haven't got full on movie editing software in there or what's going on?

Maybe some stuff I forgot due to information overload, but I'm a big fan of what's going on with this game.

First of all, Che, thank you for taking gamer's suggestions and giving them to the devs. I am 99% sure that you directly influenced the implementation of most of the things we wanted.

Regarding your comment, I notice you say photomode. Forza 2 looked, IMO, horrible in game. In replay it looked awesome, even jaggy free. Is it safe to assume we will be seeing less detail, more jaggies in game?

Realistically, some details and jaggies will be present, but will it be as noticeable? Even GT5 in game dont look as good as it does in replay, but the difference between the 2 wasn't as big as Forza 2's.

This looks awesome. I loved FM2, but this seems to be a tremendous leap from that. I hope it delivers as well as this looks.

holy shit how will polyphony respond to this?

seriously, how long has gt5 been in development?

there will be TWO Forza games out inbetween GT 4 & 5, and fuck if Forza 3 doesn't look amazing plus the amount of features packed into the game = o_0

Holy shit, pretty much looks just as good as GT5, or at least very close.

was there a gameplay demo? From what i saw, it looked like they were all just videos playing n the big screen. As for the cars flipppin', i thought those were cgi's and not realtime... :/ Still hoping for cars flippin and shit though hehe

three games and the car models are still looking weired.

To be fair, it has to deal with damage and custom paintjobs. That's probably the reason why they can't quite nail that PD look. It's still a pretty significant upgrade from FM2's visuals though.

I'm not sure, but did the guys on stage think that this was the "definitive" racer this gen, I mean, I think they were implying that, or repeating it over and over like the "meow game" from Super Troopers.

Bullshots these days means "rendered at an uber high resolution with an insane amount of AA"

So yeah.

From the new website:



They really are going all-out in making the game accessible to newcomers...

I hope you're not trying to infer this is a bad thing. The more fun more people can have with it the better. If there's one thing Codemasters did well with GRID it was the ability to rewind the gameplay if you made a boo-boo. Yet another welcome addition to this game. It just seems clever all over, like they've thought of everything. I'm sure they haven't, but positively surprised I am.

realtime reflections confirmed?


anyway you guys need to know that, that video is the unrealistic designed trailer, the cars turn on the dime to make quick 180's for the video editor fun mode thing lol.


don't get fooled by the 'TRAILER' and the unrealistic driving, they did this last time with FM2

wait til you see the real gameplay vid.

this video is obviously rendered. At some point you even see cars reflecting each other.
First video appears to be realtime though and that's more than enough to compete with...uh...i mean, for me, yeah, i mean that's more than enough for me.

Wow, looks REALLY good. Looks even better than GT5:p.

I don't think so. Lighting and car models aren't nearly as good.

Looks great though. Big improvement from Forza 2.

I have a feeling Turn 10 is going to eat their words regarding 'definitive' this and that...they sound really insecure.

To be more real ,it's because the cheaper little hands that modeled the cars in china are a little less talented than in-house PD modelers .. :)

How is it that 2 Forzas are going to get released several months before even 1 GT hits the market? Crazy.

There isn't a single racing game out there with real-time DOF (exterior view) and tons of AA.

If you want framebuffer, you should watch the in-game footage video on FM.net. That is literally captured straight from replay cameras.

I don't know man, this is the very same reason with kaz yamauchi said he didn't want to do real time damage on the bodies of the vehicles, he didn't like how they looked or something.


keep that in mind the forza cars deform pretty well ;p I think the issues people might have with the look of forza has to do with the lighting and the colors

Yes, you can see other cars in your reflection cube maps now. Looks insane in hood view when you're chasing down a rival in a corner. :D

4 months until release.... that is simply crazy.

I really hope there is a pre-release demo, not because I need to be sold on the game, but because the earlier that Forza 3 (not matter how small a portion) is in my hands, the better! :D

Looking forward to the full reveal of tracks in the game.
