I just got the game and I love it. The driving feels so nice. Is anyone having a problem with the My Photos on the site though? I uploaded two last night and they aren't showing up.

Nice:D


I've heard of quite a lot of people finishing the 24h endurance race that is included in the campaign of GT4 though.

Landin put the Pitpass up today. Lots of stuff in there worth checking out here are some I would definitely recomend.

RWD only hoppers going up in the playground sometime next week
Now that we’re back in full force after the holiday break we’re set to continue working on our Matchmaking playlists. We’ve heard the requests for some RWD only hoppers to add a bit of variety to the playing field, so expect to see a RWD only playlist added to the “Playground” sometime next week. Numbers are in from the holidays and we’re starting to see more traffic in the playground area, which means we’ll continue to use it as a catch-all for our community playlists. For the latest updates on Matchmaking visit our official info page here that will be updated when new playlists go live.

Holy shit, nice setup he's got there.

I wonder if 24" screens are about perfect there from that distance... my dream is 3 40" screens. :lol :lol

You would go blind lol, if you follow the link to gtplanet he posted his FOV measurements for optimal viewing. Its pretty interesting stuff. Really impressed with the cable arrangement. 4 xboxes, monitors is not an easy thing to hide.

I just tried via going to the main website and then clicking on myforza once logged in, it's working here and I not visited the website for a few weeks too, is there an old cookie or something you might need to delete from your browser.

The only thing working for me are the forums. Everything else is broken once I sign in. I'm also unable to find my gamertag when I use the search on the site.

It doesn't matter which browser or PC/Mac I use. Nothing works.

Yep its a known issue and being worked on. Maybe due to the new users over christmas I'm not sure but here is the word from T10 dev Voodoo posted last night.

Here is the situation as of now for those encountering an error when they view 'My Forza' page.

We've identified the bug and developed the fix. It's going into testing tomorrow (it's 1.35 am here right now). It should be deployed shortly thereafter to our production servers. Right now we're looking at Tuesday for the deployment date (those things are complicated) but we're trying our best to push it earlier (as early as this week/weekend).

Has there been word on which class is getting the RWD racing playlist? I'm thinking A class but they will cock it up with "any class" I bet.

Looks like my BMW M3-GTR will rise from the grave and win races again.

Not directly FM3-related, but this is why we need the SLS AMG in the game: LINK

Probably CG, though.

Can't see this working all too well in the squared-off tunnels at Sedona. :lol

I did that with Test Drive Le Mans for the Dreamcast. That game had a nice day and night cycle, so you eventually end up racing hours in the dark all by yourself,

I have a Ferrari F40 dressed up like the F40 from Sega Super GT/Scud Race, but the My Forza section of the website is borked, so I can't show it off.

Also, I took the 2010 Audi S4 for a spin in the game, and I think I'm in love. I want one IRL.

Also, while I'm at it, can we get some new tracks up in this bitch? Since the Ferrari F355 Challenge is in the game, along with some of the tracks from the Sega F355 Challenge game (Laguna Seca, Motegi Oval, both versions of Suzuka seen in said game), can we get the other tracks from there? That would entail...

Fiorano (would be nice for some test laps)
Monza
Sugo
Streets Of Long Beach
Atlanta Motor Speedway (would be nice for the stock cars)
Sepang
Nuburgring GP Circuit (I'm shocked that it isn't in the game already, tbh)

I'd also like to see...

Imola
Watkins Glen
Infinion Raceway
Fuji Raceway (classic layout, please)
Brands Hatch
Paul Ricard Circuit
Streets Of Surfer's Paradise, Australia

Please, Che? Pleeeease? The support the game's been getting is awesome, and I want it to continue for a while. Even if you guys are working on Project Gotham Racing 5, I want to see support for Forza 3 to continue on for a good while.

Just want to say this is my favorite game right now(behind Uncharted 2 of course:D )
The only thing I hate is my car isn't here. How about a 02 Subaru?
Spec C,Type RA,WRX,STi,Prodrive edition or anything would be great.

This is a car fan's RPG.

:D yea its awesome

I would love to get in some older cars like the old 1930-40 hot rods with the big grills on the front. Love those fords. Also I know a lot of people will hate me for saying this lol, but I really liked the plymouth prowler as a kid (had the model for it) and wouldnt mind seeing it. I dont think its popular enough for dlc but maybe in forza 4? I dunno hah.

But yea this car, man I would be in heaven.

Seconded! But has to be the same layout as in F355 Challenge. Racing that track again is what I've been dreaming about since the PGR2 Long Beach booster pack was announced.

They need to go the whole hog and limit a playlist to F355 Challenge stock, susuka/motegi ring/laguna only, no collisions 2 laps (just like the dreamcast online play where you raced an online hotlap race, the game then downloaded everyone's ghosts and you then watched the replay to see who won, best fucking racing game feature EVER INVENTED)

They are on vacation until tommorow and the pack I believe is part of the big car show that starts this week in Detroit. Im sure we will be hit with more stuff this week on it. I cant wait to see the Zonda Ingame :D

Yeah, the F355 Challenge layout was shorter than the real-life Long Beach Grand Prix layout. Maybe both can be in the game?

Dammit Che, where are you? :D

While I'm at it, Watkins Glen and Infineon Raceway, I want both the GP and NASCAR layouts, please. :D

A bit less then 24 hours to go from now on until release. Probably it was a '10 S4 you saw because the RS6 is a '09.

The Long Beach layout in F355 Challenge was the 1992-1998 one. If LB is ever going to land in a FM game then it will be the current layout.

Not sure if I will buy the new dlc pack just yet, still need to play more then a few single races with the first dlc pack cars. Mostly due to their overpriced cost in the main forza mode. The r35 is great in s class though but handles like a tank.

HSV was taken out and replaced by the Saleen S5S, I believe ;_;

Yea I updated the image yesterday refresh the image and it should show the official list which I will replace with ingame pics soon. Also while the leak teased it the HSV wasn't really replaced since it was never confirmed but since it was spotted in the wild thats not a bad sign :D. Gonna add the 2 packs to the OP
