And that's why you need cockpit views in a racing sim.

Because surely looking down at your gearstick whilst in the heat of a tarmac duel is something you're likely to do?

Even if I do enjoy GT more than Forza, at least I won't stick out like a sore thumb in a blind attempt at pathetic trolling.

I can't really describe what I mean well, the gearknob is just the focus of the problem. None of it is realistically lit. It doesn't fool me at all, it's a lighting issue I think.

It not only looks fake, it looks 'small', like tilt shift photography.

maybe the racing will actually fool you, unlike some other racing games pretty unconvincing "racing"

zing?

You know what? I know it cost Turn 10 a lot of time and money creating all the interiors for these cars but I'll most likely not use the in-car view. Bumper cam view ftw!

I don't even own a PS3, and check out my Forza 2 credentials on my gamercard 'frod', but thanks for the insult.

I don't know, the volume up and down scroll looks really cheap to me. Not real life enough!

ps: TIRE DEFORMATION!!!

Think I give a shit about your "credentials"?

If the product doesn't appeal to you then don't buy it; you're supposed to be a consumer, not a paid critic.

Just watched the trailer, game looks great but all the cars spinning is some of the goofiest stuff that I've seen. :lol

Good Lord, Forza 3 looks amazing.

AND it's 60fps on top of all that too. The feature list, including how the livery & replay system look, are second to none in sim racers...

Turn 10, Che, props - dude said "definitive sim this gem" a whole lot, but hell, you guys are backing it up with your game for sure...

It doesn't have realtime shadows, that's why. But it's nothing like tilt shift photography.

I'm buying this just for the cockpit mode. After seeing it done well in Test Drive Unlimited, it totally made the game for me.

Nice stuff on the typography of the logo and the box art. Looks like the team is really going after GT on all areas, also style. The previous Forzas had horrible photoshop jobs and action-woo-boom-logos, this one is subtle.

Does anyone know what's up with MS artwork lately? In addition to Forza I also noticed that Bungie's logo is now much more stylish, and Halo Reach art and logo are super slick too.

Looks like I was 100% right that as soon as cockpit view was implemented then certain posters would start saying that it's not a good enough cockpit view. :lol

Che, if you're reading this, I'd like for Fanatec to do an X360 version of their 911 GT3 wheel. By the time I get enough money for the 911 GT2 wheel, I fear that they'll be sold out.

Please? :D

I missed this when I read the OP the first time.

Play Your Way with All-New Game Modes
"Forza Motorsport 3" is an epic racing game featuring more content and more ways to play than any racing title today. An innovative single-player season mode puts you through a completely personalized racing calendar that includes more than 200 different events, including Circuit, Oval, Drag, Drift and Timed Events. No two calendars are the same; they react to the cars you love and the races you enjoy most.

I liked this basic concept in PGR4, and I think it will work even better within the context of Forza. The fact that it's dynamic sounds terrific as well. It will be a much needed update to sterile career mode of FM2.

Hey Che, I was wondering if you could tell us anything about the photomode. Forza 2's photomode was severely lacking in several aspects compared to GT 4's. Have you guys reworked photomode to give better options on things such as distance, height, DOF, more realistic shutter speed results, perhaps actual settings such as 1/200 with a 2.8 aperature or is it still setup with just sliders........stuff like that :)? This game has easily gone to my most wanted list ahead of modern warfare 2.

God I can't wait for this, I've put well over 800 hours (no joke) into Forza 2 since it came out.

I love all the R8 love in these shots.

Of all the games shown today (which I'm just getting caught up on now after work), this is the game I'm most looking forward to. I played the shit out of the first one.

I know exactly what you mean and I totally agree. Really slicked up.

That track in the in-game Audi flipping vid looks like a lot of fun. The design and look of the track takes me back to seeing GT1's original road courses. Great mix of turns, some with steep pitches, to an interesting sunny backdrop. I liked some of the original courses in FM1 and 2 but this one has grabbed me more than any of previous ones.
