Forza Motorsport 3 |OT|
- Thread starter Jube3
- Start date
About the wmv exports, contrary to what I said last night they are not bitrate starved as I thought they were. In fact they are quite big considering their length. In terms of bitrate they actually are bigger than my own videos. That doesn't make them any more great looking, but at least it's not because they didn't put a good enough bitrate.
I'm trying to understand why a 15 MB file for 10s of video, using the VC1 codec of all things, is such a macroblocks fest though. A 12.5 mbps bitrate should be closer to bluray quality than to youtube's, that's for sure.

May God help their magazine racks if they don't have my paid in full LE at gamestop tomorrow.
I just got the game today. It's my first time ever playing a Forza game. I think I'm in love!
Here is my very first vinyl I created. Took me about 2 hours!
I'm not sure how to take a better screen shot, so here it is.
Please buy it from my storefront so I can get the achievement
I did my best to recreate the neogaf awesome.gif
Never having created any art in any video game before, this was definitely an eye opening (and FRUSTRATING) experience. I went in expecting layer management and editing similar to photoshop, where I can easily overwrite a part of a layer or make a portion of a layer transparent, but I couldn't figure out how. After going back and watching Jube's video tutorial I realize now how important it is to plan out your method and techniques. A lack of planning definitely caused me great frustration and I ended up having to use a ton of stamping to get the details to my satisfaction.
I appreciate the quality of work/time of M0dus and Jube3 10000000x more now. Trying to create this smiley as my first vinyl was quite the challenge for me.
P.S. I 5000 Cr too expensive for this sort of thing? I saw a really crappy version of awesome.gif being sold for 4000 so I figured it was ok. Let me know and I can adjust the pricing.

ooookay I downloaded both sets of DLC that came packed into the LE, and none of my cars, etc are showing up...
EDIT: nevermind, they dont show up in my car list but they are selectable in multiplayer.
I assume this means they'll be in my garage once I've progressed to that car class in Career mode?
Or does this DLC just give me the ability to buy the car?

Forza 3 market is capped at 10,000cr , which is peanuts compared to F2 economy.
you will understand the term "expensive" after a couple of months when T10 will remove the cap and millions will be asked.
p.s.
I approve of this temp cap, I think it really helps the storefront thing, especially for newcomers.

Just the ability to buy them if I remember correctly.
Also..
Thanks goes to Jube for all the homer vinyls/designs on the storefront. Some of them just laughable aswell :lol

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone finds a money cheat for Forza 3 and we get taken into the Forza 2 economy all over again.p3tran said:
Official forum forzamotorsport.net is showing some intersting behaviour-patterns:
1. ALL threads, and there was many of them, discussing matchmaking problems in past few days are DELETED and GONE,
2. ALL threads, and there was many of them, discussing clusterfuck regarding FM3's Public Racing are DELETED and GONE,
3. ALL signatures for members that were pointing out above have been DISABLED and nobody can use them anymore.
Interesting.
Does it mean that matchmaking will finally be fixed?
Are new Public Race options on their way?
Or is it just Democracy in its Finest?
Che, shed some light, I really want to properlly race online, last 7 days were plain horrid in any way imaginable.

So someone went to all that trouble of removing those posts, yet at the same time they couldn't make one sticky post saying whether it would be fixed or not?
Seems typical of so many games companies forums where they censor stuff they don't like and never actually bother answering questions. There must be a dozen of so threads there all asking about the LCE theme, but it took days for them to actually respond to it.

Disgruntled people make duplicate threads complaining about an issue - what did you think was going to happen? Usually whenever there's a problem around the launch of a game, the official forums get locked down into a 'one thread for issues ONLY' set of rules so the unruly mob doesn't take over the whole forum.
Those threads weren't deleted. We created a feedback subforum.
Matchmaking is the future of console MP games. As someone who disliked the server list and user-controlled lobbies (please, don't kick me, I didn't mean to tap you in the corner there, I swear), I'm having a lot of fun with MP matchmaking and server arbitrated games.
But yeah, we'll update the hopper list. Give it a week or so.

I had more than 200.000.0000 in forza 2, and none of it was through cheating. just selling my tuned cars on the auction house.

I actually agree that matchmaking (when done right) is preferrable (I also disliked the user-controlled lobbies in Forza 2). However, currently, the matchmaking in Forza 3 doesn't seem to be working at all: I always end up in a room on my own, with at best a 1-on-1 race every 30 minutes. What people are mainly asking for is some kind of statement on when these issues will be solved...

Yes, but without people cheating in the first place there's no way cars would have sold for the sort of money they did. You'd have more than likely had a 10th of that at most.p3tran said:
as a matter of fact, I accumulated them ~250.000 at a time.Psychotext said:
that is not so much money for a car that will improve all your laptimes and help you become a faster, more precise driver.
especially if you are not at the start of the game, it is easy to reach a couple of millions just by playing & winning.
the pain was that each of those cars, I had to build, tune, paint individually.
this has been addressed on Forza3 in the best way possible.
huge props for that!!

I'm going to take a wild guess and said: car tuning configs in mp.
Edit: ok I'm wrong, it's this: http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/1/3125653/ShowThread.aspx
Edit 2: hey, I'm not wrong !
Last night I had some split screen action with my housemate on the full length Nurburgring - it was quite literally the most awesome experience I have ever had in multiplayer gaming - we are both VERY similar skill levels with the controller, A class Ferrari and Lambo... we finished with him winning by only 0.6 seconds thanks to him slipstreaming past me on the final straight after I got a dodgy exit from the final corner.
This game is simply AMAZING.

Yeah, you can now load your tuning setups in lobbies.

Do stay in the same room game after game. When playing in matchmaking is it stock cars plus the ones you have unlocked. What exactly determines the car you use and and the types of mods it has.
The livery thread really makes me want this game.
Though reading the cars list I noticed there's no Jaguar XF. That's a sweet car.
My parents have one and I really like the look of it, also it drives well.
Also required gold for storefront sucks. Does the LE or regular come with more trial time than 48 hours? (PAL-one)

Suppose to be fixed now, it was due to powering off your 360 while on the store front and the game save cocking up somehow, I think the latest update prevents it but can't fix what is already broken.Lucius86 said:
Having had some hands-on time with the game now I have completely changed my opinion on the rewind feature. I really don't like it. It removes all the risk from racing. Although I personally don't use it, I was watching my friend playing and the feature really isn't helping him in the way I thought it would. It isn't improving his cornering, it's just stopping him worrying about fucking up because he has an 'Undo fuck-up' button.
Although I'm sure the feature is fine in theory, and would make a good aid to perfecting lap times, the implementation as I have seen it used is not something I'd want in other racing games. Going back to playing NFS: Shift after playing Forza, it felt like the stakes had gone through the roof and every race was a knuckle-biting hair-raising nerve-fraying experience.
Still, Forza 3 has the most rewarding driving model I've ever experienced and the level of customisation is insane. It really is a spectacular game and a fully featured package for car lovers. I just wish I could disable the rewind feature.

Remember you can't use it online, so if your friend messes up there it's all over for that race.SmokyDave said:

I know, I'm talking human vs AI races.
I also noticed in his rear view mirror that the AI would occasionally 'give up' after he used rewind, they seemed to just stop driving when he resumed his race.
It doesn't really matter but the fact you cannot turn rewind off means he will never learn the discipline to race without it. I worry that other racing games will now seem unfairly difficult to people and the rewind feature will become a trend.
