Forza Motorsport 3 |OT|
- Thread starter Jube3
- Start date
Helluva lot better than that awful "these cars have no booster rockets" ad for F2.
Although I'm not a fan of the shot of that R8 driving away. It was weak, they should have used another angle.
The whole open door theme going on, eventually transitioning to the game is fantastic hough. Kudos to whoever came up with that.

i know as its in a supercar book i've had for like 10 years but i cant find on the web as its so rare.. you can try and find it if you want, another example is the xj220..217mph IRL (once the fastest production car ever made) and in Forza 2...200mph..this is why t10 are annoyingduderon said:

Maybe the gear ratio's required changing?Fender_Uk said:
Ok I'm just going to come out and have my little whinge now and get it off my chest so I don't have to do it later.
I'm really fucking annoyed this game will have been gold for 5+ weeks before we can buy it, I bet a tonne of gamestops / EB / amazon stores already have this bloody game in a carton out the back of the stores.
I want the damned thing now, being forced to wait, during a really heavy upcoming gaming season completely sucks, there's some huge shit coming out this season and having to wait just makes things even more condensed and frustrating.
Microsoft / Turn 10 are going to lose (some) sales due to the game being leaked on all the pirate sites already and could have reduced some of those losses by damn well releasing the game a week early (or even more) (For the record I am not one of these people)
Yes I know there's so much more important shit to whine about in life but it is bugging me a bit, I mean hell, I have to snag Uncharted 2 this Thursday and rush through it for the following Friday for Forza 3.
The only thing less impressive than this shitty drawn out release date is the constant delays with the Fanatec wheel and the fact that not only do internet people tell me 'be warned of their quality control' but they are confirming it themselves

I'm probably digging up a 3 week old topic now but I've been slack with keeping up with the GAF thread, sorry.
What were peoples thoughts on the physics for the demo? Was it just my imagination or were they significantly easier than Forza 2?
We had several discussions on shacknews regarding this and multiple people found the game to be much easier than Forza 2? Is it our imagination or what.
I turned every single one of the assists off except the clutch and found it relatively simple to control the cars, it was obviously more difficult than some kind of idiot arcade racer but compared to Forza 2 it was childs play.
Was there any discussion about this over the past 2 or 3 weeks and if so, what was the quick easy concensus?

What you're seeing there is a good thing with regard to quality control... not a bad thing.abrasion said:The only thing less impressive than this shitty drawn out release date is the constant delays with the Fanatec wheel and the fact that not only do internet people tell me 'be warned of their quality control' but they are confirming it themselves
Judge when you play the full game. I'm playing it and I've started getting the harder to control cars now. There's debate, but I suspect that the cars were tuned for the demo.abrasion said:

Well, there's a lot of reason for release date not the least of which is getting the server ready and DLC up etc.
As for people that pirated the game, well they are going to do it regardless when the game get put out.
As for Fanatec, that I do agree and yes I am too worry about their quality control since they seems to be rushing to get the thing out as they are way behind their promise ship date. I was going to get rid of MS wheel after I get the Fanatec wheel but now I am having a second thought....
Psychotext said:
Sorry to harp against Fanatec but I don't think it is a good thing.
The 911 Fanatec wheel has been reviewed, previewed and discussed since 2008...
Think about that, 2008 - there's reviews of the wheel at the Simracingrtonight youtube channel what 4 or 5 months ago? The wheel has been worked on for a long long time yet they are still ironing out bugs?
I really really want this thing to be awesome but it worries the shit out of me that a small german company without much clout are manufacturing the thing, have previously had QC issues before and want to charge 349$ for the thing - fuck knows what HES (Aussie importer) willcharge for it and if it'll get good ongoing support.
I hope for the best but I really fear for the worst, I still can't even order the flipping thing here!

No, they're ironing out large scale production issues. Take it from someone that worked on retooling lines at one point... what you're seeing there is nothing unusual, you just don't usually hear about it.
There's a difference between that and bugs in the design.

god I hope so man, if I know this country (or greedy fuckers importing shit here) I'm personally estimating I'll be paying 450 to 500$ US for that wheel.............
That's nearly the price of 2 Elite consoles (considering the recent price drop) - it's downright insane, needs a 5 year warranty damnit.

How would it be better for you if Forza 3 was released the same week as Uncharted 2? Then you'd only get one day to "rush through it". And if Forza 3 was released last week, you'd only have 6 days to rush through that. I say, be patient, stop rushing, and enjoy both games.
Also, changing release dates in the last minute will seriously fuck up any marketing campaigns. And especially for bigger releases like this.

Will piss me off too, fingers crossed!Lucius86 said:
I am also reading the forza 2 gaf thread again from the beginning, I just hit the part where they first released that bad blue mazda photo picture :lol oh memories.
I was watching this stream this morning and was amazed by the intricate detail Jube was able to go to using what literally could be described as black fuxx.Jube3 said:
That Brutal Legend design looked awesome when I left for work, I can't wait to see it in the flesh.
I hope the next few days may cool the situation, but I am not hopeful.Lucius86 said:

The quicker anything and everything is out the better at this time of year.
You're right about Uncharted - I originally thought F3 was out before Uncharted - I keep confusing that (still blows me away it's after Uncharted)
As for changing release date - who cares if it comes out a week early? Those who think it's out at the other date can always walk in and buy it.

goddamn I wish she'd take those puppies out, good lord.
EDIT: also love how geeky those 2 guys are - they genuinely love this shit, I don't mind the amateur feel to the show, considering how much they love driving and cars - it makes it better.
EDIT2: Just watched the full review - those guys loved the game, damn! I need that stupid goddamn expensive, potentially exploding wheel

I just tested the S7 in the game. It does ~217 mph at Le Sarthe. Can get it up to 219 just about down a slight hill.Fender_Uk said:
Sadly I can't test the XJ220 right now... but I'm not going to lose any sleep over a couple of mph.

I can't, it's on the second disk which I don't have a working version of.Fender_Uk said:

Yeah I like that, they know what they are talking about and comparing too.abrasion said:
XiaNaphryz
LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
The reason for the lengthy development time was mainly due to Microsoft wanting extra features added to the wheel which weren't on previous iterations of the design. As for the manufacturing issues due to defective parts being found on the line, it's not really that uncommon. You just usually don't hear about the specifics of it.abrasion said:
And you act as if Fanatec's never done this sort of thing before, didn't they do the official wheel for MS in Europe for Forza on the original Xbox?

Quick test had it hitting 220mph. Possibly more in it but I ran out of road.Fender_Uk said:

I have only one question before I even think of buying this game. Can I steer with the d pad and accelerate with the A button.

EXCITE!
Just got my confirmation that the Wheelstandpro I ordered for my MS Wheel is shipping this week! I'll be ready for the definitive driving experience!
