holy shit man it's just videogames :lol
The visuals are absolutely insane, my dad thought I was watching a documentary because I was just enjoying the scenery (stopped on the side of the track).
As long as the photomode shots are as good as what Che has been giving us, i'm happy. I'm usually in first place and bonnet/cockpit cam anyways, so any lod changes go unnoticed
Game is really fun Che, thanks turn 10.

Turn 10 did a nice job recreating Montserrat. Some videos (mute the music).

You read the quote. Then re-read it. And then read it again.
They said everything you see here is real-time taken from in-game gameplay.
A bullshot is a faked screenshot that does not represent what the game actually looks like.
If you can take photo mode shots of your Lambo in the game and it looks as good as the screenshots they release of the same Lambo from photo mode, then it is not a bullshot. That's how it looks in game when in photo mode. There is no lie there.
Now, if for example they had taken a replay, swapped all the car models for the highest resolution cars that are only available from the menus, rendered it out at 1920x1080 and performed some touch ups in Photoshop, and said it was a screenshot from a replay, that'd be a bullshot.
Yes, for the player's car, they have a very high level of detail model that they only show during the start of the race, and in photo mode, and Che mistakenly said they don't display this high level of detail model only during photo mode and that it was the same car model you see while you're racing. Big fucking deal. The game looks great regardless.
This is my last comment on the matter and I think I'll just start adding people to my ignore list who keep beating the thoroughly dead horse.

Finally, our interview is ready to be viewed.
Taxigamer's Forza Motorsport 3 page with many off-screen videos for those who haven't seen them
Link to the interview of Dan Greenawalt
As always, HD downloadable version is playable on both PS3 and Xbox 360, so that fanboys from every sides can enjoy it. :lol
Youtube version also incoming. Check our channel (click to go)
Sorry about the sound, it's not the best but we weren't in a separate room to do the interview...
Here are the topics we talk about in the interview :
-Relation with manufacturers since Forza 1
-How are chosen and modeled cars (he actually skipped the second part)
-Audi partnership
-Intellisponse and TofuR leaks
-VIP leaks
-DLC plans leaks
-Editing livery with Photoshop
-Microsoft reaction to 2 discs
-Project Natal
We had other questions but unfortunately we had only 10 minutes...
PS : I know there's an error in one of the title but it took so long to encode... Maybe we'll correct it later.

John Wendl interview from Games Convention Asia, some interesting tidbit about the Fanatec wheel:
More and more console games better start supporting the features of higher-end wheels.

Man this threads gone to shit.
The game looks and will most definitely be amazing.I just hope the auction house has a Arsenal emblem day 1 and that will complete the package for me.

I hope so, in fact if they are i will applaud the mods for some forward thinking. By simply having a troll... sorry comparison thread a lot of people have already wayyy overplayed their hand, we know the names no need to repeat them in here.
So if they are sighted in the official thread after making it clear they have absolutely no interest in the game so they will hopefully be dealt with.

Make one! I did a pitch-perfect-pun-intended World Cup Germany (MeisterWelt Deutshland?) logo early on last time around with F2's primitive tools, and it looked excellent. Arsenal should be easy.DOBERMAN INC said:
I was highly impressed by the game's E3 debut...then became less and less interested as more screens and vids came out, but man that demo has resold me on the game. I too thought the visuals were a little weak until playing it for myself. It's definitely a step up from FM2 and looks great overall; sure there are a few jaggies (much less than FM2) and the roll-overs aren't as exciting as they should be, but the game still looks nice and the racing is near perfection. In addition, Grid's rewind feature is greatly appreciated to cut down on any unnecessary frustrations.

One thing to note is that the Fanatec 911 Turbo S wheel itself doesn't contain rumble like the Microsoft Wireless Racing Wheel. Instead, you need to buy the Fanatec Clubsport Pedals, which cost $200 or are bundled with the wheel in the "Clubsport Edition" that costs $480.

Wow dude, just wow. :lol You really need to calm down and not let something so asinine get to you. Seriously. You've got to learn to let the little shit go. If I were you, I'd be more concerned about how your Presidents keep lying to you, over real, meaningful shit.JardeL said:

I'm shocked at how much better the MS wheel works then it does for Forza 2. I actually was able to improve my times by using it. Also, one thing I'm noticing in the demo that I really like is that my car doesn't go careening off the track with every small bump by an opposing car. Very nice demo and really it seams like the game will be much better then F2.
so i never played forza until the demo and i really liked it
i was just wondering how does the single player/campaign experience work in forza games? is it like gran turismo's career mode?
Also, in previous games, did turn10 have a crapload of DLC or are most of the cars available on disc?
And i got the impression that you're gonna need to install one of the discs on the hard drive? how big is this install... i have a 20 gig, and with one game already installed, that leaves me with little space to spare

Mine from a couple minutes ago, taken with my cellphone so sorry for the bad quality...
Forza 3's...
...not bad!
I got the angle wrong and my cell phone sucks for pics. The reason my light's and side blinker is so dark is b/c of VEIL. The windows are 5% tint and I did the entire front at 35%. I of course have the stock rims. Though I've added some mods (Cobb SRI, Forged BPV and a Test Pipe replacing the 2nd cat).

I'm the one that wrote that old post that Che "WRONG!"-ed so memorably. So, I find it humorous that, unlike yourself, I don't care that lower-poly models are used outside the showroom and photo modes. In fact, I think it's kinda neat that Turn 10 implemented a car-porn mode using settings that would be impossible to support during 60FPS gameplay. Kudos. They should portray it as such, accept their accolades, and move on. (Actually I'm pretty sure the better-informed members of Turn 10 have been doing just that. I'm almost positive I read about that those high-poly model "modes" in an interview way back when.) I mean, think about it. It bugs you (nib95) that the photo-mode is better than Che would have had you believe. How weird is that?nib95 said:
The sad irony is that I was just expressing my interest/curiosity about the eye-candy modes, when Che decided to set me straight. He certainly won that day. But it's kinda come around to bite him in the ass now. He's managed to turn a positive into a negative. Now, instead of photo-mode being awesome, gameplay-mode is somehow disappointing. (I don't agree with that.) Imagine how much smoother things would have gone if he had just accepted the photo-mode compliments, given those developers their due, and stuck to the facts.
IMO, Che is a bit of a fanboy. And not in the good, support-the-team sense either. Things can fall by the wayside when he's in a rush to defend or attack. He chose to interpret my post as an insult, and in his haste to "zing" me in front of his fans, claimed something that wasn't actually true. I really doubt it was even a lie, in his eyes. He's just not particularly well informed. Or observant. Or tactful.
The game still looks fun, though. And I'm sure the photo-mode will be gorgeous. (That's not a backhanded compliment, either.)

Oh and thanks. I love the car. I bought it off the lot new, or I should say, my sister bought it for me as a gift... but I picked it out!

Wait, what? The wheel itself has 3 motors for FFB. Yes, the stock pedals don't and the clubsports do, but the wheel itself has always had force feedback.Falagard said:
XiaNaphryz said:
Well, force feedback does not necessarily mean rumble. You can have one without the other.
However, I think I was wrong about it not having rumble.
I read some conflicting information, and interpreted it as the wheel only have FFB motors for force feedback and no rumble, but it turns out it seems to have 1 motor for force feedback and 2 motors for rumble.
Which is good because I was actually a bit turned off by a lack of rumble and didn't want to get the expensive clubsport pedals.

Well said. I'd like to think everyone who was personally "hurt" by whatever insults they felt they suffered can have their say and move on like this.
I haven't been this excited for a game for a long time, and unlike FM2 the demo has exceeded my expectations in the graphical department (actually in pretty much every department). Speaking of a demo, I think it's commendable that T10 have releases a demo a month before the game releases, much as they did with FM2. A demo is the ulitmate truth in my opinion - no lies, no bullshots, no hiding things under the carpet - I know what I'm getting in the gameplay department well ahead of time and that gives me plenty of time to cancel my preorder if I want.
So, have your say guys and move on. Look forward to a great game but, if the demo isn't your thing, don't buy the game and just leave the thread. If the official thread is full of dickheads ruining my buzz because they're discussing ad nauseum what a PR guy said months ago rather than the actual game I won't be a happy camper. Get a dartboard and put Che's face on it if that's cathartic for you, but don't turn the official thread into anything other than a discussion of the game.

well, surely those menu models couldn't be used during gameplay (not without some active lod like other games are doing i never noticed a lack of polys during a race anyway) but i was expecting something closer to them at least during replays.
Actually, if the game did keep the high lod model for replays only, and only for the car the camera is following at the moment (the game does load when you choose a different car to focus on during a replay so...) few would have noticed -things only get bad when you switch to closeup cameras anyway- and even fewer among them would have complained, and i believe the engine wouldn't have too much of a hard time handling that. Maybe they can still patch it
Anyway, speaking of more important things.
Seems like no one has received his Fanatec yet ? I can't wait to hear impressions; mine should be here with the second shipment (mid oct, hopefully)

Holy crap! I had my Racing wheel in the closet because I wanted to eventually get rid of it (didn't feel right when playing forza 2). Anyways, hooked it and when a few laps in the Forza 3 demo. Wow! The thing rocks. Guess I'm going to hang onto it afterall.
Only thing that sucks is that I got rid of a sick looking stainless steel frame that I welded up a few years ago. Had to toss it when I moved.

Yeah, the wheel surprised the shit out of me when I tried it. I too was thinking of getting rid of it in favour of the expensive Fanatec option for use with GT5 as well, but I think I'll hang on since the MS wheel plays so damn well with this game. Hopefully by the time GT5 drops there will be cheaper cross platform options for me.
Pity about you ditching your stainless setup though
