Wait, I'm not keeping up with the thread but... wasn't the compression thing a problem that would be solved when the real servers or something like that went up?

FM3 bundle: http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B002PHSS0U/
Halo 3 + Fable 2 + Controller: http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B002CZP9XO/
If you want Halo for the MP, buy ODST instead (or buy both).
For GeOW 1 & 2, no bundles AFAIK.

So if I manage to get my hands on an officicial retail copy before release I'd be fucked too? That doesn't sound right.
EDIT: Nevermind.

You'll be fine.
Yeah I've just had to give back a retail copy my bud pulled when his store got devilery and been fine.
Game is amazing gona be a long wait till my le shows up.
Normally I buy these games for online but this is the first time I've really been hooked strongly to the single player it's so big too I'm amazed with what the guys have pulled off to really infuse fun (or limit frustration) into the game.
I can't wait to get some more time with the game and get some really had games going, I'm sure we can organise some events.

First (bad quality) video of the Benchmark Ring. Okay all that space is DEFINITELY going to come in handy.

I hope the replay angles in the benchmark field are up to par!chespace said:There are already a ton of Ken Block replica STi's on the storefront.
Another with a dude testing out his 1.9s 0-60, 1257HP Veyron. Takes it up to 259 mph on the Ring.
Minor spoiler in the video, he reveals that
. Kinda weird but I suppose they really wanted to hammer down how rewards really are rewards in the game.

the Veyron is the gift car you recieve once you reach level 30

A shame you can access it so easily but cool, I think there has only been one game I have ever tried it in and that is NFS shift :lolenzo_gt said:

They banned someone from OXM with a review copy :lol (he even posted pics of it when he got it)
Turns out they are just guessing who has the game and who doesn't based on geography, game history and dates of play. If they don't recognize a gamertag they are probably banning at that point.

Play without all the assists and also make sure you adjust the deadzone settings to give more responsiveness (get rid of the dead zones entirely)HoTHiTTeR said:

game history and dates of play don't sound like something they can use to ban people though; x360 internal clock will reset when the console is unplugged. If you buy and play Forza 3 on oct 23rd and your console has been unplugged and not connected to xbxlive again your game saves will make it look like you were playing the game in 2004

2, but it seems you can also have 2 AI cars race with you so 4 cars on the track.Xamdou said:

You want to decrease the deadzone so everything is more responsive. By default the 1 or 2 degrees in the centre of the wheel register as no input, and the outer 10 degrees or so all register as max turning radius so you've got a little less precision. Also the accelerator and brakes seem to have a big deadzone so tapping the accelerator or the brake lightly does nothing. It makes it harder to feather the pedals.blanky said:
I imagine that one way of spotting pirates would be if they had played multiple games before release.eso76 said:game history and dates of play don't sound like something they can use to ban people though; x360 internal clock will reset when the console is unplugged.

Yep, I agree, at least GS step in and willing to carry LE this time around. LE usually doesn't sell well anyway, let alone this is US where racing genre aren't selling like FPS.
I just don't understand all the anger. I think it's great that T10 decided not to keep those awesome looking cars as LE / VIP only and spread the love to all the customers that willing to pre-order their games. I thought it was a good thing they did, I just don't understand all the rage.
If you dislike Gamestop that much, you can always go to Best Buy put down $5.00 and do preorder there or you can always go on-line like Amazon and pre-order.

Been playing the demo alot. I've now got my settings at: manual transmission, ABS-TC-Stability on, autobrake off, full damage (simulation) with no racing or braking line. Having great fun listening to the engines and shifting based on the engine's song as opposed to watching revs. Car I most enjoy right now is the Lancer.
lol. Can't wait to turn these old econo boxes into fire-breathing race cars. That's where the most fun is to be had.

I want to see my in-box fill up with cars when I load up Forza 3 on release day!!
The VIP cars that comes with the LE and pre-order car (the blue lightning Audi) are those just code to un-lock cars for purchase in game or are they going to be available like "gifted" cars?
Well, with U2 done, it's back to Forza 3 for the long haul! Seriously though, such a long game, surprised (given how busy the game schedule has been lately) journo's were able to play the game enough to merit a thorough review. In any case, from what I've played so far, thoroughly impressed. The entire presentation is considerably slicker and more polished. I do still feel that most cars are too easy to drive with ABS/TCS off. You almost have to fight to try and get your vehicles (everything but the Race cars) to lose traction instead of maintain it. That's my only real gripe with the driving mechanics thus far, that is in comparison to the predecessor as well.
chespace said:
Don't know if you are allowed to mention this or not, but exactly what details are Microsoft looking at? I'm guessing the total number of games played, Gamerscore, whether they play online or not etc right? Tbh, I was informed that hacked or chipped 360's couldn't play online, which is why the store front reset surprised me.

Its a shame that the jpg compression is so high on the photomode pics.chespace said:Got photomode hooked up to FM.net now so I've been checking out lots of photos on storefront. Here's another look at the ODST M3.
and the ZOE photo that m0dus sent me.

Really? Which cars do you think are easy to drive and hard to drive? Lower end cars are easy to drive as they should be. It really is when you get to high end sports cars and supercars that they should be hard to drive without assists.
Also are you racing with manual or automatic? With Manual you also have to make sure you don't shift up when you are risk of losing traction otherwise you could spin out or even rollover your car (I've flipped the GT3 before).
Game looks great. I think I'll enjoy this as much as any other racing game to come out in a long time. I'm hoping maybe for the next game Turn 10 gets a bit more ambitious and does something similar to Eden Games and do an open world racer. Test Drive Unlimited was great for not only racing but just cruising around and having a "lifestyle" around collecting and racing cars. It also had pretty much an unlimited amount of track configurations. TDU did have some deficiencies in the licensed car area (Porsche was most notable) but I loved how they had a ton of lesser known cars as well.
