Cool, looks almost as good as GT5P, which is impressive. Can't wait to see more of the cockpit view.

Is there a car list anywhere yet?
There's a couple cars I'd like check if they're in the game. I'm nearly positive there still won't be a 4th gen Trans Am, but I can hope, lol.
The game looks amazing btw, the graphics, water, cockpit view, reflections, the courses. Can't wait!

60fps + cockpit view + those graphics + Forza gameplay/physics =
From the equation, "best console racing game ever" is probably a foregone conclusion. Hard to say best "racing game" ever because of PC racing sims, but... damn.
I'm sure GT5 (whenever it's released) will look noticably prettier. But I don't think it matters in the slightest.

I want a track list!
Very nice, although for a game releasing in 5 months I expected to see more details like track lists and car/manufacturer lists. Demo of the livery editor would be nice. And the bloody damage system, so important for some armchair race drivers around here.
I like the visuals, but not spectacular. Glad to see some improvement on the physics side.
The community trailer, with those cars spinning, is pathetic though. :lol

What's pathetic about it? It's exactly the sort of crazy crap people would try to put together.Norante said:

I've noticed that all the games announced/demoed at E3 seem to look noticeably better than I expected. This does, Splinter Cell did, Alan Wake looked amazing, even CoD looked noticeably prettier than its predecessor. I don't really know what happened, but its pretty awesome.

Man, thats gotta be one of the biggest visual turn arounds this gen (from a sequel pov). And viva cockpit! Looks fantastic. Could do without the "definitive" nonsense but I suppose thats what E3 is for. Now about those Logitech drivers...

Seriously. I'm utterly flabbergasted at how great it looks. I really can't wait to see footage from the showfloor.
I though graphics were great in FM2. The improvements i wanted were in physics/gameplay and they seemed to have delivered.
I have only two requests to make this game perfect for me.
1) have the Autobahn as DLC and let us go crazy on it (i.e., Tokyo Xtreme racer but with real physics.
2) Let me be able to select my own competition in arcade/free race mode.
3) Give me a giant testing ground where i can set-up cones whichever way i want. I want to do my own Best Motoring segments. Panic Break for the win!

I wholeheartedly agree with all the gushing over the graphical strides FM3 has made; it looks significantly better than what I expected, and I can't blame the devs for talking it up a bit.
Some may not care for all the "definitive" comments, but the simple fact is that Turn 10 will have released two high-profile racers by the time their most obvious rival has even a single fully-featured competitive title out the door. That's something to be proud of.
As it stands, FM3 is easily my game of the show thus far. Some showfloor gameplay vids will likely only solidify its standing as such.

360 seems to be really hitting it's stride graphically. Developers getting to their 2nd and 3rd attempts on the hardware. No longer cutting teeth. It took awhile, but the results are oh so sweet.

This game seriously looks incredible.
Please, just let me use my Driving Force GT with it.

That guy's going to break his hands holding onto the wheel in a crash like that! Nice to see the wing mirror get snapped off though.

Che, G25 support or a PC port.
One or the other.

Just...fucking...what???? HOW? IIRC Forza 2 had poly counts around 40k. That puts these cars just shy half a million polygons per.duk said:
WAT
That's the sortof thing you say when you compare your new game to it's prequel from a previous generation. Not to a game you released just a couple years ago on the same system.
I feel like I should keep typing something but I don't even know what to say. Jesus. Me=Floored.

How could they increase the poly count 10x and still maintain a solid 60fps? It's an abomination...

IIRC, didn't Turn10 go through some major internal strife in the midst of Forza 2's development? That can only hold you back.Revelations said:
I think it's entirely possible that they just really know what the hell they're doing, but never quite got the chance to showcase their full potential. Until now?

Animator. Respect knuckles.
Che very kindly invited me to the Forza 3 party tomorrow night, so I should hopefully get some good
hands-on time with it. I'm very happy to see the twisty mountain track, and car flippery, and expanded community and livery features. And a nice visual upgrade to boot. The best gets better.

It's not that I'm surprised they could increase the polygon count by 10x. They could increase it by 100x if they want. It's that they can do it without sacrificing framerate, or apparently making any tradeoffs in other areas. The backgrounds look better, the lighting looks better, the physics are supposedly better, and the cars are 10x as detailed. That's a full order of magnitude detail increase on the cars.

Sounds promising.

For this game absolutely. It made huge strides in the visuals department.

They need some head movement in that and roof damage, unless it's there and the gif doesn't convey it, as I don't remember the conference showing too much other than the weird car circus video they had going on.

It looks like a generation gap between Forza 2 and Forza 3. No joke. It's a pretty stunning jump in quality.

PC port would be nice too. Anyway I can use my existing wheel without buying another.

I believe they got tired of it being in there court, took it back, and will deliver a second game before Polyphony's first. :lol
