Forza 3 Discussion...

VG247

"VG247 has learned that Microsoft intends to release Forza 3 as one of its major 360 titles this holiday.

The game has never been confirmed by the company, although it was heavily involved in the Intellisponse leak fiasco last June.

Intellisponse marketing concepts hinted that the game may feature a Collector’s Edition, DLC, over 100 tracks and 400 cars."

Turn 10 Weekly Pit Pass Report

"All this blood and sweat translate into what anyone here at Turn 10 can download to our Xbox 360s on a daily basis -- ever-improving builds of our new game, which, isn't just shaping up to be greedy handfuls of eyecandy, but is also proving to be really fun and addictive as well. In fact, the test team has already thrown down the gauntlet here at Turn 10 with weekly challenges to find out who's the fastest in the studio. Trust me, it's not a challenge to be taken lightly around here and folks have been taking turns stepping up to the task in the team space and setting lap times in the public team space with force feedback wheel in hand. Me? I'm hungry for more eyecandy. Every new build brings delicious new ways to consume the gorgeous assets in the game. Too much of a good thing? Pfft... yeah right.

But we here at Turn 10 also live in dual-realities. On the one hand, we're working hard on our new game. Lots of cool stuff happening behind the scenes and awesome features are getting implemented here and watching the project evolve in real-time before my eyes makes me feel really privileged."

Re: Source: Forza 3 will release this Christmas

Can't wait for this. I just started playing the career again going for achievements and trying to get some good pictures.

The one thing that I want to pick up Grid for over Forza are the drifting races.


Kind of off-topic, but how do you get photo-realistic pictures of the cars without using photoshop? I'm talking about these types of pictures:http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/fo...d/1659544.aspx

Awesome news! I really liked Forza 2 but there could be alot of improvement from Forza 3.

More fuel to the fire.

Microsoft's worst kept secret, Forza Motorsport 3, has been semi-officially revealed during a briefing at its Brazilian headquarters in Sao Paulo.

As you can see from the video below, a partially covered logo that's unmistakably Forza appears in the platform holder's line-up for 2009. You can see it about 6:58 in the video.

The third instalment in the Turn 10 racing series is far from a secret though, as details on the game were leaked last summer, followed by yet another leak earlier this year with artwork from the game.

According to the smuggled details Forza 3 will include over 100 tracks and 400 cars on a two-disc set. We'll almost definitely see more at E3 in June. If we don't, we'll eat the office. All of it.

The speaker mentions Forza and the crowd cheers too.

2 discs? Nice. I can't wait for it.

Re: Source: Forza 3 Will Release This Christmas

**** yeah. That's all I have to say.

Re: Source: Forza 3 Will Release This Christmas

two disks won't matter as long as the 2nd disk is just stuff that can be installed to the HDD while you play with the 1st disk.

But regardless, **** YES! I'm still amazed at how turn 10 will have put two current gen racing titles out, while GT5 may or may not release this Christmas as well.

Re: Source: Forza 3 Will Release This Christmas

Can't wait for this. I remember a long time ago some info was leaked and it did confirm the 2 discs plus drifting and check point races, along with the possibility of trucks

I wish they had a tough truck competition and the ability to mod them as well as SUV's.

Re: Source: Forza 3 Will Release This Christmas

Did you say drifting? I love the drifts.

Re: Source: Forza 3 Will Release This Christmas

Yes. I read somewhere (long ago actually) that some information was supposedly leaked and that it would be a 2-disc set (which seems true so far) and that there would be checkpoint races along with drift and drag races. Also the possibility of trucks. So far the 2-disc prediction seems to be correct, so let's hope the rest of the info is legit!

Re: Source: Forza 3 Will Release This Christmas

Awesome. I liked playing GriD, but the only thing that I would make me play GriD over Forza were the drifting races. I love em - ever since NFS: U2 I've been hooked.

Re: Source: Forza 3 Will Release This Christmas

Sounds good......I don't mind the 2 disc part, no problem with that. I would like to see a couple of things implemented in Forza3:

1. The replay view - Not always great angles. I'd like a "TV" mode - as if you were watching the race on tv.

2. More in - depth tuning aids & options: I'd like to see a chart/graph of my practice (and hell, include it in the race during playback) to show where I have exceeded max loads for my setup; I'd also like to be able to replay my practice runs (instead of going over to the arcade-free run and run a couple of proctice laps to see my tire temps, shocks, etc.)

3. At least one or more real world series: I'd like to run in the Rolex Sports Cars Series (Cut the races down to 1-2 hours) or the American LeMan Series - multiple car classes on the track at the same time. How about an off-road segment (this is next gen, after all)

4. Create a race / Create a series: One of the things I loved about GT2/GT3 was the ability, after reacing a certain level, you could create your own race or series of races. Since Forza2 has different drivers, I would like to customize my cars, assign them to drivers, and race against them.

Sorry about turning the post into a "What I'd Like to see for Forza 3"

4. Create your own race:

Re: Source: Forza 3 Will Release This Christmas

I'd love to know how many cars will be on the grid per race. 8 cars on grid does not a racing simulator make.

Agreed -it would be nice to have at least 16 or more.
