Yeah at least in forza 2 they came with arcade and time trial extras, here it's just another map to play online, really.Dash Kappei said:
The career needs a good overhull and maybe having random events in the calender would help, plus it could include DLC.

I can't understand for the life of me why Turn10 went with this kind of decision.
I mean, shouldn't they want to make DLC content MORE appealing?
Especially now that the game is being sold for half the original price but it's still selling regularly and showing great legs in EU/UK, you'd expect them to want to make the most out of those packs they're releasing.

Good question. All the logic for auto-upgrades are there.
May have more to do with the timeframe these guys pumped out the game. I'm glad a game like this didn't take 5 years to make but I'm thinking another 6 months would have addressed all the little things to perfection.
The ultimate would have been to have an online career mode where you have all these races with their tracks and restrictions and you raced against other people online. It would be nice to race against tuned cars that feature unique liveries.
I've had this before as well. The last time I remember it happening was with Forza 2, though. I had a gear dropped on the final lap of an endurance race and lost a whole bunch of credits because of it. Had it happened in F3 it would've been a simple rewind but even then it would've sucked. I don't know how to fix it or why it does it.lord pie said:
I'm pretty sure you can. It's been a while since I played the game but I'm certain I race with those buttons mapped to left/right look. I'm certain of this because when I try and drift I rue my decision to lose handbrake in favour of left/right look. Check your control settings and see if there is an alternate wheel setup. If you have no luck I will go check out my settings and let you know how to do it.

Nope you can't with the wheel.
I was bitching about that myself, months ago :/
If there is a way to do that, then please do share it! It'd be much appreciated
Damn, If there's one thing that NFS Shift totally nailed opposite to Forza, is to have the cockpit's view shift a bit left/right when cornering: it gave a realistic g-force effect and more windscreen's visibility as well.

I just hope more cars from my wishlist are included in future DLC, along with more tracks.

Car #2... we can probably rule out the Ariel Atom, because I think the suspension bits are external, and the Mercedes Benz SLR Sterling Moss was included in a prior DLC pack... hm, and I can rule out the Radical SR3, since the wording indicates "concept"...

Also annoyed that DLC tracks are restricted to online. Is it really that hard to add a few championships races to the calendar? I was hoping the calendar structure had been used this time around, precisely so that new tracks and events could easily be included. The game is done and dusted for me. Loads of new cars added, but no new tracks to race them on unless you go online. Poor show
For the briefest of seconds I thought we were getting the Ariel Atom. Ohh the joy in my heart, only to be crushed under the weight of a rather stunning looking Mazda.
Hey GAF/Che, our weekly get together spec races went to Sunset Peninsula a few weeks back.
And it was intense. So I got out an old capture card and cut together something awesome. Enjoy!

Seems like running the saves from a USB key speed up the game. My garage loads instantly and I only have to wait 1 minute to save a photo instead of 5, I guess that's an improvement...
Now, waiting for the scene to allow us to get our photos on the computer as these two would look much better uncompressed (if the photos are indeed saved uncompressed) :
(livery found on the storefront)
As for the DLC, as of spy shot #3, the line-up look like this :
2010 Mazdaspeed 3
2010 Mazda MX-5 Superlight
2010 Bentley Continental GT Supersport
I hope the remaining seven cars are better. Which remind me that I still haven't bought the previous DLC, I still have the Furai and the EB110SS waiting to be purchased. With Diablo 2 1.13, God Of War 3 and now Pure and LEGO Batman (got the bundle package for 0,01, price errors FTW !:lol ), Forza 3 doesn't get much play these days. Honestly, the game doesn't help either. Whenever I boot it up, it reminds me of how boring the career is after a while and that it takes way too long to setup a fake private race with AI. Why ? Oh why Turn 10 didn't put a true arcade racing mode where you simply choose a car and a track and the hard AI will race with cars from the same class.

So, was I right on the 2010 Mazdaspeed 3? Wow, can I get a prize for this?
Hopefully, the McLaren MP4-12C is included, along with the new Koeingsegg, Mercedes SLS AMG, and some of the others on my wish list.

G Rom that scooby looks lush, must find that paint job. Also nice tip about running the save from a usb pen, that along with an installed game should easily half most of the loading in this game.
On that note, che any word about now allowing images and video's to be saved to that LE usb pen? seems a lot of people want the ability, maybe microsoft will allow it now or something.

Jube, what are the Forza avatar items coming out on the 15th?

<Go Race>
<Multiplayer>
<Private Race>
Make it invite only, set it for 8 players, make 7 of them AI, and then choose your OWN car restrictions and race rules. Personally, I enjoy doing this *more* than most career races. You still get money as well, in case thats a concern(good money if you get a bit creative with the rules).
Also, I find the AI on the Nurburgring GP track improved over most of the other tracks. They really put some time and effort into that DLC.

Being fairly new to NeoGaf I would love to add some FORZA Gaffers to my friend's list. Shoot me a friend request or message to UR BUS IS SHORT if you'd like and have the room. I'd really appreciate it.
The second thing I wanted to mention is that I am desperately trying to get my hands on the 2010 Ferrari 599XX. I don't what it is exactly but this car just hits me in all the right spots. Unfortunately its hefty 2,500,000 CR pricetag puts it out of reach for my nonartistic ass, especially now that I am trying to save up for the next batch of DLC. I haven't had any luck in the Auction House or in the Forza forums so I thought I'd check with the fine people in here that make up FORZA Gaf.
If there is anyone that might be willing to make a deal with me just reply on here or send me a message via LIVE to UR BUS IS SHORT.
I have a fairly large collection of cars in my garage so there is a good chance I might have something you'd be interested in. Thanks and remember even if you are not interested in a trade or sell I'd really like to add some FORZA Gaffers to my friend list. UR BUS IS SHORT is my gamertag.

Saw the spy shot, people believe that it could be the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG which would negate all the "meh" provoked by the previous cars.
As for the USB key thing, no luck so far. I've only been able to get the (poorly compressed) thumbnails. But one thing worries me, I've managed to get the Forza 2 photos and they were all saved in their glorious shittyness... :/
Here's hopping that it isn't the same for Forza 3.
I also hope that Turn 10 will make it easier for us to access our photos in the future but with the storefront being so important, I'm not sure they will...
Seriously, how hard can it be to make a special über option to save a huge 1080p (minimum) PNG photo directly on HDD or USB key...
I looked at my "old" PGR3 photos too, it's pretty amazing to see the huge step we made in more than 4 years !:lol

Honestly I think they are saved compressed from the outset, which is a shame considering there's no reason to do this at all.

I just copy-past the answer that was leading the comment replies when I wrote my post, now it's clear that, it's not a Mazdaspeed 3. The only current Seat which look like that is the Leon but we already have two of those... :/
If it's indeed another Leon, this pack is looking even less appealing.
Spyshot #6 could be the Holden HSV W427.
Edit :
Yep, I don't understand either as Forza 3 pretty much requires a HDD to play. It isn't 200 or 300 KB more per photo which would file a HDD...
Remember this ?
Well, it's been near 6 months since launch, well past the launch window and we still haven't seen any improvement. I'd just like to know if we'll ever see this better compression.

Is this car pack 3 or 4 now? and since all of these cars are being made with high poly versions for the menu's I fear for how big forza 4 is going to be if it's a next gen title, fuck like too many detailed cars to pick from :lol
Pepto said:
Source ?
I've bolded the cars that I find interesting. Half of the pack doesn't sound bad.
It's funny though, I keep seeing the "new sol R missile*" billboard ads in my town for the Scirocco R and I could be driving it virtually next week.
* "Sol air missile" is the french for "surface to air missile"
G Rom said:
Road & Track magazine is sponsoring a "spy shot" competition to reveal each of the pack's cars.
http://www.roadandtrack.com/special_feature/spy-shot-contest
And as usual, they left all the spy shots in a generic image upload directory on the webserver and someone found them on the first day of the "contest."
The FM.net community has CSI'd the spy shots and determined the lineup. The lame clues have served to confirm our expectations. This list is golden.
To get all the achievements without running some races twice, you need to do the Season events (calendar) first. Then go to the event list and race what you didn't do in the seasons.Ranger X said:
This will net you the season achievements, and then you can work on the final one.

So what is different about the Scirocco in the DLC, and the one already in the game?
cjelly said:
If this were the Scirocco, the difference would be a body kit and engine upgrade. However, there's now some churn on this item. Looks like it may not be the Scirocco R after all.
The R&T clues and images seem to suggest a Golf R instead. They look similar, but only the Golf R has AWD which would send power "fore and aft" versus the Scirocco which is FWD only.
Both would match the "132hp/L" clue since both have the 265hp/2.0L TSI engine.
So that would make the question 2-door or 4-door Golf R. I'm hoping for the 4-door since the GTI of the same generation in FM3 is a 2-door.
