Yeah I liked that part too. Brings a good perspective to the whole rewind debate... I mean you dont get on leaderboards and its not available online, so for hardcore people it keeps their times sacrosanct... and for people like me who are a little more casual, it just makes the game less frustrating.
Gerstmann did a good job throughout the review of explaining things from a semi-serious sim racer's perspective. I could definitely relate.

This is going to be one of my first livery attempts, should be pretty simple, right? Especially as I suck and hardly touched the editor in Forza 2.

That shouldn't be a problem Jebus..
I'll be making some serious attempts as well for the first time.

yeah looks easy enough. hard parts is probably going to be recreating some of the sponsor logos.
probably start with a white car and add the Forza brand spoiler. add the stripes and use the square shape that fades to create the rear-middle section.
I think you'll also have to settle with a 2 door focus
edit: my first attempt will probably logos of various tobacco companies and their alternate logos for countries that ban tobacco advertising. Mild Seven(F1 car with Team Spirit, Benson and Hedges(Be On Edge), Marlboro(Bar Codes), West. sell them for around 2500 credits

You MUST do as many BTCC liveries as you can, and a note to turn 10: PLEASE include the VXR Vectra, the Chevrolet Lacetti and the BMW 320si E90 in a DLC update, that way all of the full participants of the BTCC 2009 season can be created in Forza 3.
Edit: On that note, as weight is a factor in Forza, how about a Ballast system for online racing? That way online leagues can use a Touring Car style ballast system to help even out the racing a bit.

Honestly this may be the most accessible racing game of all time. A game that hardcore and casual fans can have great experiences in. Once I read about the fact you don't NEED to learn to drive the uber cars, the rewind feature, the optional assists, this game went from a 'no buy' to a 'I must pre-order the LE!!!!' in about 10 seconds.
One thing t10 need to be patted on the back about is favorites.
It's a whole extra friends list in the game, adds a new filter for leaderboards, view thier storefronts & you can see favourites of friends or favourited people & you just add them without the need to be ok'd.
It really adds an extra element to the conmuinty, its really a great selective filter for leaderboards.

In that they're bashed just as much...well, maybe not as much as Rare.

WOW! They've actually let you adjust view in Auction House!!

It's recorded on the leaderboards but placed below all the legitimate times. So if you have the #1 uncertified time and there are 30K certified times on the leaderboard you sit at 30,001th place.
Drafting and track cutting are also things that will uncertify your time...so it's not only rewind that will do it.

Awesome, now if only bungie reported early ODST players, there is one modder I know who I would love to see banned but he diesn't play racing games (or forza)chespace said:
Forza 2 had a patch to allow full rotation to see the car's too, but before the patch it was limited to left and right pan only with no zoom.BenjaminBirdie said:

Complete ability to log into live on their 360 is what happens I believe, their xbox is completely live banned.Shaneus said:

So how is Expert mode going to work when using the MS wheel? I tried it on the demo and it just let me shift with the paddle shifters, and I never pressed any sort of clutch button.

Did you not hear a lovely grind noise and find that after 1 lap it was taking more then a second to change gear?LaserBuddha said:

Clutch makes no sense with paddle shifters anyway.

And I'm a little miffed because the overall color scheme of Jube3's Iron Man car is VERY similar to the Proto Man car I have planned :lol .

That was my other question...do real-life paddle shifters use a clutch? I would have assumed they would.
After showing my friends the new and improved kaido track they've decided to get the game. Were gonna have some crazy drift sessions online. The turns and length of the track make it almost perfect. Next time T10 needs to make the track width smaller. I think it would make it a lot more challenging for drifting and racing in general. Anyways looking forward to the game immensely.

I don't have it but whatabout those who actually purchased their copies from retailers? Supposedly Walmarts were selling copies the last few days. Would someone have to show proof via receipt (not that that is true proof)? Seems a little extreme for those who aren't pirating copies.pr0cs said:

I'm pretty sure it has more to do with the actual copy being played than the date it was played.LovingSteam said:
Likely a prerelease copy was leaked (and signed) so it's very easy to tell who is pirating since that code was never released to gold.
Great idea really, developers should do that more often (ie: release early versions of the game to impose the banhammer on anyone actually running the early version)
LaserBuddha said:
Something that might be useful to learn when to shift is to drive with the telemetry. When you see the torque peak you should shift up. And shifting down is a matter of learning the track, finding out which gear works best for which corner, but that depends on the car you're driving.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
This brings up an interesting question - is having a digital clutch more advantageous than a progressive clutch? Because it's already been shown you can damage your car through incorrect shifting - or does the damage only occur if the clutch isn't used at all?blanky said:

Wow that really is awesome lol. I agree, more developers should do that. Freaking hilarious!

Since I never played Forza 2 online, how does the difficulty setting thing work. Are assists, etc., customizable per player to any degree? Or is it something chosen by the host? If so what is the most commonly chosen difficulty level?

Wait the game isnt out yet? I was planning on going to my friends place and play it there this weekend. :-(
When is release date, will keep that weekend free.

In the few cars I have had a chance to drive over the years the gear stick will not budge unless you open the clutch enough, so I dunno if that is taken into account in forza 3. Using clutch to let the car roll or get a biting point is important though.XiaNaphryz said:
XiaNaphryz said:
An automatic is technically much more efficient and quicker. Manual just provides more fun/control to a certain group of people. And with paddle shift transmissions you sort of get best of both worlds, the speed of an automatic and the fun of being in control. But the discussion of manual/automatic is mostly subjective and only partially technical.
