	"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

Quote:


	"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."

I wish they did not give you a new car so often. They make it so you can go the whole way through career mode without ever spending a single credit.

I don't mind them giving us so many free cars, but it left me with a garage full of stuff that I never drive. I got the collector achievement last night and then sold over half of the vehicles I had. I'm trying to limit my collection to the cars that I drive a lot. I enjoy the tuning aspect of the game. Once I finish tweaking what's left in my garage I'll look at buying some more.

Are you guys using the MS wheel or just the controller? I'm interested in picking up the wheel, I just don't know if it's worth it.

The wheel is great. This game really works seamlessly with it. Also, my times are much better with the wheel. There's just so much more you can do when you have the wheel that is difficult with the controller. This game really does an unprecedented job (on consoles at least) of really differentiating each car and you'll really get to appreciate the nuances of each car with the wheel IMHO.

I'm not a huge fan of paddle shifters, but I've grown to really appreciate them. You can get the wheel for a very reasonable price nowadays online.

On another topic, I can't wait till I can afford my real car. It's gonna be nice beasting out my ride. This game is like crack.

# 445 Pappy Knuckles @ 12/21/09 12:40 PM

Just using the controller because I don't really want to invest in building a setup for it. I hear good things about the wheel though.

My friends clown me because I'm always pulling out the Buick Regal in our races. This game makes me want to buy one and soup it up lol.

# 446 DirtyJerz32 @ 12/21/09 01:29 PM

Nice impressions. I may just continue to use the controller. My fiance is already clownin me because I play video games. Imagine if she came home to find me playing a racing game with wheel. Haha, I may be single after that...

for the cockpit view

Whenever i up the fov it seems like the road gets harder to see.

I set the hidden degrees to 15 and the fov to 90

It looks like it is easier to see further while still having the in car zoomed out. It could just be me.

M$ doesn't have this posted on the XBL dashboard, but here is a link to a free Forza 3 theme.

What do you guys use? Manual or manual w/clutch?

# 451 McLean 25 @ 01/02/10 11:40 PM

Hey I need some Help

For some reason for the first time on my 360 this stupid parental control thing keeps popping up when I keep trying to enter the storefront. I went through the parental settings and it says that everything is off. Any suggestions?

# 452 videobastard @ 01/03/10 06:54 PM

I hate how the game freezes in public multiplayer lobbies. Its like you cant just keep racing races in the same lobby without restarting 360. I wonder what keeps causing this.

# 453 jdmsi7 @ 01/04/10 12:43 PM

I need help. Where is the 06 impreza s204 in the game. I can't find it at all

My guess is either look in the Subaru section which is really obvious, or maybe look on the second disk, or maybe in the auction house.

# 455 jdmsi7 @ 01/05/10 08:56 PM

Not in subir section. I uploaded disc two and still nothing. Ill look in auction house

# 456 Cusefan @ 01/06/10 12:51 AM

im not big on drag racing in this game, but the fastest drag cars are the Bugatti Veyron and the Nissan Datsun 510. The Toyota Top Secret Supra is good also.

	�Forza Motorsport 3� Surpasses 2 Million Copies Worldwide, Waves the Checkered Flag on the New �N�rburgring Grand Prix Circuit Track Pack� After speeding past the finish line last October, �Forza Motorsport 3� is now in the hands of more than 2 million passionate car lovers around the world. To give fans even more reasons to keep behind the wheel with the game, Turn 10 today releases two brand new tracks in the downloadable �N�rburgring Grand Prix Circuit Track Pack.� Having delivered month after month of new car packs since launch, composed of the world�s most unique and sought-after cars, this new track pack will give fans a fresh new locale to earn their racing stripes. Available starting today on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 400 Microsoft Points, the �N�rburgring Grand Prix Circuit Track Pack� has been meticulously re-created by the team at Turn 10 to reflect the legacy and excitement of the top German grand prix circuit. The track pack includes two layouts of the circuit; the full 3.22-mile circuit with the famous �Schumacher S� corners, and the short 2.24-mile sprint circuit, both of which push car and driver to the limit. Demanding technical precision while offering tremendous opportunities for overtaking rival cars, the �N�rburgring Grand Prix Circuit Track Pack� will show who has the determination and skills to grab the checkered flag. Built in 1984 and updated in 2002, the circuit has been a vital proving ground for some of today�s most elite racing events, including open-wheel, touring car, vintage, and even motorcycle racing throughout its 26-year history. For six seasons the Grand Prix Circuit has also played host to the 1000km N�rburgring endurance race. The circuit is also co-host to the German Grand Prix, an event that has proven pivotal to the success of many racing careers.

Congrats to T10, thats a big milestone
