Requirements to make game epic: Bring back AutoX races, point to point races (Kaido and shipyard) + add more, and bring back the 1/4 track.

Have you read any of the info? They already said kaido is back, as well as, point to point, drag, oval, drift modes......

There are a bunch of new gameplay videos up on ign and gamespot.

This info was posted by an employee on their official forum, but shortly removed....

So...a broad overview:

Car content:

Most of the tuner cars are gone, with the exception of the Mugen Honda Civic and Integra and the Mine's R32 and R34 Skyline. Thankfully, that means the awful tuner car liveries are gone too.

For BrianJ:

1971 Skyline 2000GTR
R33 GTR
No R35 GTR, because they are a bunch of twatwaffles. Apparently the GTR team is independent from the rest of Nissan on many levels, one of them being licensing. The only way they would allow us to use the R35 was if it had no damage, no rollover, no custom wheels, no custom parts that improved performance, no painting, and no livery. So we said no thanks.

I think that's a net +1 to the Skyline count.

The usual suspects have also been added:

Corvette ZR1
'09 Cadillac CTS-V
370Z
Reventon
Ferrari California
Evo X
GR STI
Camaro
Veyron

etc....

If you like your wheels old school:

Fiat 131 Abarth
2nd gen Toyota Celica Supra
250 Testa Rossa
Aston Martin DB5
If you like doodoo:

Versa
Yaris
Aveo
Xd

If you like Smokey and the Bandit or Knight Rider:

'79 Camaro Z28
'87 Firebird
'88 Camaro IROC-Z
If you like trucks:

Rang Rover Supercharged
Saleen S331 Supercab
Ram SRT10
Audi Q7
VW Toureg
Porsche Cayenne
If you like Italians:

Alfa 8C
Alfa Brera
Alfa Mito
Fiat 500 Abarth
If you like race cars:

Aston Martin Prodrive DB9s
997 and E92 BMW GT cars
Porsche, Acura, and Mazda LMP cars

Other interesting stuff:

ST205 Celica GT4
RS200 Evolution
'69 Dodge Charger Daytona
AMG SL65 Black
Renaultsport Twingo
Meh....that's all I can think of off the top of my head. If you ask about a specific car it may jog my memory.

As far as tracks go, the only big licensed one we added was Le Mans. Fujimikaido is back though and pretty cool, and we have some imaginary tracks that are a huge improvement over the older stuff.

The big change to the Livery Editor is that all cars, including race cars, are paintable now. Black on black on black Ferrari Prodrive 550 GT1 racecar looks awesome. That is all.

As far as rollover goes, what you saw in the first video is pretty hard to accomplish. It won't be like Burnout where every car to car contact will result in exploding rollover mayhem. It's actually fairly hard to do. So don't worry. While physics compromises were made in order to make the game "more fun" to a wider audience, it's still more simulator than arcade.

The "one button" racing mode is basically massive assists and auto braking. You still have to steer and hit the gas, but it's designed for super casual quasi car guys that just want to race a pretty car around a track. All assists can be progressively turned off if you like.

Customising has a new "quick option" that allows you to set a PI limit, then bias it in favor of speed or handling, and the game will select a set of upgrades for you. Should make getting a car tuned for a PI limit race easier for the uninitiated.

The DLC plan is for 10 cars a month for the next year. Some of the cars will be things that didn't make it into the release version, like the Ford Escort RS1800 - some will be new cars we haven't seen yet, like the Corvette Gran Sport. I haven't the slightest clue what the track DLC plan is.

That's about it for now off the top of my head that might be interesting to you guys. Cheers.

No 24 hour races if that's what your thinking.

Other things that got cut:

Weather
Night/day
Active aero (again!)
Widebody kits with 12 inch wheels
Some really cool driver animations
Some digital gauge animations
Custom underbodies (with rollover comes undercarriage modeling - unfortunately, all the cars use a generic layouts, so sometimes they are wrong; like the Lamborghinis have the transmission rearward of the engine instead of infront, etc.)
Super high level of detail car models in replays (Currently the super high detailed models are used in the UI homespace/garage, thumbnails, livery editor, and photo mode).
No exposed suspension cars like Ariel Atoms, Lotus 340Rs or Caterhams, even though T10 owns PGR and they had the tech to model working suspensions.
Most of the cuts came about because there is immense pressure to hit the release date. There are careers on the line with this one, because FM1 and FM2 were so late. There WILL be a game called FM3 ready to go for October, the only question has been what kind of game it will be.

No WTCC cars,

There will Australian Supercars though, both Holdens and Fords. And NASCAR cars in all their asymetrical glory

Okay....so, the video.

One of the community coordinators is a member of Team Blackjack, who do really cool drift videos using the existing physics engine. T10 took one of their videos and said "Using our tools, turn this up to 11". Unfortunately, it was turned up to Ludicrous Speed. Every single car guy who saw the video hated it. Everyone was overruled by upper management on the basis that if the Team Blackjack videos were good, then this would be even more exciting, and they made it a centerpiece of the E3 presentation.

Most of what was in the video is possible with the game physics engine, if you have the tuning and driving skill to pull it off. The egregiously silly stuff was....shall we say, "tuned" for the video.

Fear not for the physics. Although there were compromises made in the interest of playability and accessibility, I think that the car dynamics will be pretty satisfying for you guys. The people that are largely responsible for the physics behavior are of a much higher caliber "car guy" then last time, and include a rally driver, a very experienced autocrosser, and a guy who used to design suspension bits for H&R, so I think as much as it is possible for a title like this, the physics will be on lockdown. I'm sure people will find things to nitpick with, but that's just the reality of designing a huge title meant to appeal to a very wide base of people in a compressed amount of time.

Sadly i only placed 79th. The top 9 hot laps were run by friggin machines.

• Xbox and Audi also announced they will host an exciting and exceptionally unique AXF-24 Audi-Forza Challenge, which will take place June 13-14 at the Audi Forum in New York City. Xbox has selected nine of its top North American Forza competitors as determined by rankings on Xbox Live to converge on New York to compete in a 24-hour endurance competition in “Forza Motorsport 3” running concurrent to the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. The gamers will be split into three teams of three drivers, just like Le Mans racing teams on a yet to be announced track debuting in game upon release in October. The winning team at the end of the 24 hours on Sunday morning will win an all-expenses paid trip for them and a guest to the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans race where they will be hosted by Audi.

The 24-hour challenge is unique in the world of video game development. Rarely will a game developer put a franchise title through such a rigorous trial so far in advance of its public release. The event will be kicked off by Speed Channel host Kelli Stavast. Media and special guests will be able to take turns at the wheel of “Forza Motorsport 3.” Audi will showcase the legendary R8 and R10 Le Mans race cars and offer a variety of activities throughout the weekend for fans.
Xbox and Audi will work together on several additional upcoming cross-promotional opportunities and events, including the Audi Centennial Celebration in August and the “Forza Motorsport 3” launch in late October.

hopefully they put 180sx's in there finally. and take in part in doing some more visual enhancements. wheel fitment tuning, different wheel faces depending on width. and cosmetic height adjustment without harm to performance. just stupid little stuff that would make it 10000000% better.

cosmetic height adjustment without harm to performance.

yes, this is exactly what we need in an ultrarealistic racing simulation. a lack of realism.

ronmcdon

06-03-2009, 11:44 AM

^^^

well, you have to figure it's ultimately a product designed to make $$$.
An ultra-realistic simulator would be so complex, most ppl would get frustrated with the game & give shitty reviews on it.
I think that's part of the reason why games like TOCA isn't as popular as the more accessible Forza/Grande Tourismo series.

Optimally, a simulation mode that allows the user to tinker to the last detail would be wonderful.
However, the audience for such a feature would prob be so minuscule, that it wouldn't be worth the game developers added r&d to develop that feature.
Then you'd get the ultra-technical zealots coming in to complain that it's not realistic enough.
It's hard to draw the line in terms of how much a game like that allows you to customize settings on a car.
difficult to make everyone happy.

06-03-2009, 08:36 PM

Hate that quotes from other forums don't translate here......

Hello Forza Fans! This is long, but if you're as excited as I am about FM3 you'll read on...

Last night, I completed Landin's "Top Secret Project" that he offered a couple of weeks ago for those that either live in Los Angeles or were willing to travel to the City of Angels. I am fortunate enough to live here and it turns out that the "Project" was a VIP party thrown by Turn 10 to celebrate the debut of their racing baby Forza Motorsport 3! In short, the night was fan-FREAKING-tastic! One regret I have is that I wasn’t able to shake Landin’s hand and thank him. He was still up north working. Che was there though, and he is veeery cool. Just...suave. Shaking Dan G's hand and telling him he's my hero was pretty awesome too.

Okay, where shall I start? The beginning is always good, so I'll start with the complimentary valet parking. I got out of my car and the first thing I notice is the loud music thumping out of the venue, supplied by the live DJ. The next thing I notice, aside from all the guests milling about, is the Forza racing line on the ground leading guests into the very large tent. Actually it was the braking line, a trail of red triangles signaling fans to slow down since they had arrived at their destination.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v377/Six64Four/IMG_0028-1.jpg

Upon entering the venue, the HOT red 2010 Audi R8V10 that accompanied Dan (The Man) Greenwalt onstage at the Press Conference was sitting front and center greeting each and every person as they entered. I was told later by Senior Game Lead Bill Giese that it was the only car of its kind in the United States and was flown in specifically for Turn 10 and would be heading back to Germany today. To sit in the car was heaven. I sat in the car right next to the president of Audi while he tried to turn on the LED lights that were installed in the engine bay to make that powerful V10 engine look even more ominous through the revealing rear window.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v377/Six64Four/IMG_0029.jpg

In addition to the Audi, there were about nine other beautiful sports cars in attendance; one of which was the very Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 that Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne used in "The Dark Knight." Not a car LIKE it...THEE car!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v377/Six64Four/IMG_0047.jpg

I know you want me to get to the game, so I'll just quickly say that a large buffet table was sitting outside on the deck, and there was a full bar inside. Much like Turn 10 not skimping on their latest masterpiece (more on this later), they did not skimp on this party either. Okay, onto the game...

The first person I met from the Turn 10 team was John Wendel, the Content Manager for FM3. He was super friendly and took a lot of time to tell us about the changes from FM2 to FM3 and why gamers are going to be happy peeps come October. When asked if it frustrates him when he and his team pour their blood, sweat and tears into a project only to have it picked apart in the forums, his response was "Not really. I mean look, at least they're talking about it which is a good thing. The one thing that does frustrate me is when some guys say that we're lazy because we didn't put this feature in, or that feature in." He went on to say that they work right up to the deadline and are just as disappointed when they can't get something in, or something has to be cut from a game.

John being interviewed:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v377/Six64Four/IMG_0044.jpg

This time, since they were more familiar with the Xbox 360, John talked about how they could really hit the ground running with FM3 and accomplish things that would have taken too long in FM2. Even though they did FM1 and had that experience under their belt, they had to pretty much start all over with the new 360 hardware which kind of stunted their freedom with what they could do. With FM3, it’s like shackles have been released or something. Many issues have been addressed and rectified.

John introduced me to Senior Game Lead Bill Giese and the first words out of his mouth were "Didn't I sit next to you in the Microsoft Press Briefing?" You see, the day prior to this shin-dig was the press conference. I was sitting between two guys I didn't know. During Dan G's Forza 3 presentation, I was cheering and yelling like a schoolgirl, not realizing that I was sitting right next to Forza's Senior Game Lead! I told him that I was actually holding some enthusiasm back so that I wouldn't appear like a madman. He said that it made him feel really good to see a true fan get that excited about their labor of love. Bill was telling me that he was largely responsible for the user interface which is a series of clean, white menus with orange and gray accents not unlike the revamped FM.net. He said that he looked to high-end automotive brochures and websites for inspiration which makes great sense to me since Turn 10 are all about "Car Lust."

Six64Four and Bill G:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v377/Six64Four/IMG_0030.jpg

I mentioned to Bill that one pet peeve I had in the first two games was the replay camera angles. He smiled and said "Those were all me." Oops! He explained that the reason the camera was so often in either first person view or zoomed in tight to the car is because when the camera was zoomed out too far, you would see too much pop-in and it frustrated him greatly! Finally time was up, and the game had to shift as is. He laughed and told me that when people were coming down on the replays in the forums, the rest of the team would jokingly tease him with "So yeah, Bill...what's up with those awful replays?" Bill was SO proud to show me the replays in Forza 3, and was I SO eager to let him! He informed me that they hired a guy from Blizzard (Unfortunately I don't remember his name) to help out with the replay cameras, and MAN is this a different game! All of the sweeping, helicopter views you could want. All the stationary cameras you could dream of...zooming in, zooming out, television style presentation is all represented here. With the new replay style you can better see cars dancing around on their springs as they head through chicanes.

While at the car selection screen I commented on how rapidly I was able to quickly shift through car choices. No more waiting for cars to load before they appear and start to rotate. Remember how Forza and Forza 2's car select screens were very similar? Well it's almost as if Turn 10 picked up that concept and chucked it out the window and started from scratch. I don't say that out of any disrespect for F1 and 2, but when you see what they have in store for you IN MOTION, you won't believe what they've done.

Selecting a Cadi:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v377/Six64Four/IMG_0049.jpg

"Launch? Where's Rarity?":

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v377/Six64Four/IMG_0050.jpg

Once you pick your car from this screen, you pick the color of your car from a screen that shows off your car in an all new dynamic view that sadly I didn't have the presence of mind to take a picture of.

I realize that I sound like a star-struck fanboy, but seriously, the passion that you always read about in interviews "We want to make gamers into car enthusiasts, and car enthusiasts into gamers." etc., is true, true, true! I said no less than five times last night that Turn 10 has built my dream game.

Bill escorted us from the large HD flat screen 16:9 monitor to the famous triple screen set up complete with the new Fanatec wheel in a racing rig sitting on multi-directional hydraulics. I quickly turned all assists and driving line off as I do at home with Forza 2, picked a track called Camino Viejo: Montserrat (Actually, I might have just blended the name of two of the three tracks. I should have written this stuff down. I apologize!) I then picked a sexy Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series and attempted to impress Bill and all the onlookers with my incredible talent! Well...not so much. The power of the car, combined with my ignorance of the track resulted in my being all over the place! It was pretty embarrassing actually.

The guy what was working the "ride" talked me into trying to flip the car. Think about that. Turn 10 is continually pushing the envelope. Flip the car? Crazy. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful. To be fair, I only tried once. Once I got back to a single screen monitor with a controller in my hands I did much better with the turns and brake points and I was able to more aptly appreciate the cockpit view and the way the roofline and the A-frame lunge forward under heavy braking, and recede under acceleration. The sounds of the engines are more monstrous and atmospheric. The beautiful vistas are breathtaking. Graphically, FM3 is a package that will stoke the forum flame wars for years to come.

What got me even more excited were the things that the different developers DIDN'T tell me. Brian was the worst with his "Stay tuned" and "You'll see" with winking smiles. He assured me that what I was witnessing and praising at the party was but a tiny morsel of what we'll all get in October. I could go on, but like I said to Brian; it's hard to adequately articulate the beauty, excitement, and emotional response I was having to the beautiful monster that is Forza Motorsport 3. Brian simply gestured toward the red Audi R8 sitting about three feet from us and said "It's much like trying to describe this."

I agree.

i sure hope that they still dont have certain cars with certain body kit options. the s13 had some of the better body kit options, yet they didnt apply it to other cars. Origin, Version Select,etc. why only give it to the s13, when they have applications for the ae86,s14, s15,etc. also i cant stress ride height and wheel fitment enough.lol. even after race coilovers and a maxed drop, tons of cars were monster trucking. there are just those little things that make the difference and i hope they tweeked some of it. i could go on forever, but i will just shut up and wait for details.

I read most of the info that was available at the time. That's just my opinion to make the game perfect. It's like someone being excited for a movie and they say "Super cool actor" is in it. Then you think "super cool actor" is in it with some other good actor, it'd make the movie great. Get it? Ok good. :tinhat:

Gran Turismo 5 - Closer Than We Think? » VirtualR - Sim Racing News (http://www.virtualr.net/gran-turismo-5-closer-than-we-think/)

I never had a xbox, but i do recognize Forza has its good points and neg points, just like Gran Turismo. Both should be good. *its usually people saying either one is better because they either grew up with one or have that system*.

Im trying to remain open minded about these console games, its just hard for me to go back to them and realizing how much different/unrealistic they are compared to the games i usually play on pc *sims*, its just totally different feel to them, esp when you got a steering wheel setup. you will spend hours doing laps around 1 track, setups, qualify and race online, feel joy and excitement when you pass or frustration when you get bumped off course.. When you play console games, you beat a race and its like "ok now to the next race lemme buy some more car parts, wow my thumbs are getting tired, ok ill just blow past everyone on the first lap and just maintain it."

whats your point? if you wanna drive a car that looks just like everyone else's go play Gran Turismo ( although i love GT) its nice to play a game where you can show creativity and seperate yourself from everyone else. along with the game still being realistic to a certain extent. lame post dude. do you even play Forza?

i like forza, but the gameplay of GT is just better. no way to explain it, but it just seems more intuitive. the only addition i would care for, as far as forza goes, is the ability to control offsets and ride height visually. i don't care about the racing, i just like to build cars. haha.

agreed.lol. if i want to play a game with really good physics i will hop on Gran Turismo. but in terms of fully building a car with every idea flowing through my head. i hop on Forza 2, just because of how detailed it can get.

yeah, you can put one of two body kits on and paint your car like a bajillion different colors, totally lets me express my inner tuner.

^ I don't agree with any of you GT3,4,5 supporters. I've played them all and spent a great deal of time on each of them. Hands down Forza is the best and I can simply prove it to you. How come in GT4, we'll say, why is it that you can't perform a simple donut? Secondly, why is it that the car can't step out well. Usually people respond to these questions by saying that GT isn't a drifting game. Well that's fine but the reality is that the car WOULD do that if you tried to. there is my issue. There are a few other problems with GT but they're not worth mentioning b/c its the driving physics that are messed up. I will say that GT3 had the best physics. Lastely Forza got the sound clips spot on, GT not so much...

I hope Forza incorporates a wheel offset setting.

Whew that took awhile.....

I HARDLY scratched the surface of the sheer amount of cars that are released by users every day since release. Different paints, painted on widebodies, painted on open hoods, photo realistic paints, different tunes and builds for just about every car in the game, on every track and every class in the game.

Gran Turismo cannot even shine a light on the amount of content that forza's community is able to produce. It is literally endless. Hell, a lot of people don't even race on the game, they just play it to paint!

Name a car, any car in any race series and i bet you can find it ready for purchase from the auction house, by looking through forzamotorsport.net

Le Sarthe confirmed!

Introducing - Circuit De La Sarthe
An inside look at this world famous circuit in Forza Motorsport 3!

Landin Williams, 6.12.2009

As you make your way around the magnificent grandstands surrounding the Dunlop bridge you can't help but anticipate what lies ahead. You calmly challenge the few remaining corners that separate you from one of the longest most grueling stretches of track in the world...the famous Mulsanne Straight. By the time you realize it's near you're foot is firmly planted, sandwiching the accelerator pedal between your shoe and the stripped interior of your LMP race car -- well on its way to top speed.

http://forzamotorsport.net/uploadedImages/_assets/Misc/Racing_Side_3.jpg?n=9173
Check out more LMP hotness over at our official Le Mans photo gallery here!

This moment of anticipation is a reality for many seasoned drivers competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and now you can share the excitement. I'm extremely proud to announce that the home of this incredible straight...Circuit De La Sarthe is now at your fingertips in Forza Motorsport 3!

Hello and welcome to the first post-E3 Forza Motorsport 3 content reveal! I'm Landin Williams, Community Lead here at Turn 10, and along with Community Manager Che Chou I'll be trickling out details of the game over the next few months as we march towards October. As you can see we're kicking things off big, with a track and car reveal that will have racing fans jumping for joy. For more on the Cars of Le Mans, visit the LMP showcase gallery here.

http://forzamotorsport.net/uploadedImages/_assets/Misc/Le_mans_track_info.jpg?n=1992
Track_Info
Circuit De La Sarthe

Location: Le Mans, France

Length: 8.489 Miles (Sarthe)

Track Configurations: 3

Number of Turns: 21(Sarthe)

Bugatti and Sarthe Configurations Included

Meticulously recreated down to every last detail by our talented track team, you can now look forward to speeding down the 3.7 mile straight in your favorite race car. "Le Sarthe" as it is known by many is as raw as they come, a punishing track for the car and driver who must sit comfortably on the edge of control at all times. You've probably seen footage of cars screaming down the Mulsanne straightaway, charging towards two chicanes that will take a serious toll on your car as you approach at full speed. We've included it all in Forza 3...the classic Sarthe configurations and the shorter Buggati circuit. All in all the Circuit De La Sarthe is truly a unique racing environment, which is why it's the only place to host the most legendary racing event of all time...the 24 Hour of Le Mans.

An incredible endurance race that tests drivers, cars and their crew, the 24 Hour of Le Mans is a historically distinguished event held annually at the Circuit De La Sarthe. The concept of a continuous 24 hour race introduces many challenges for racing teams who must take long-term reliability into the equation when building their machines. Automotive factory teams push their latest technology to the limit in order to be crowned the champion of this illustrious racing event, and the Circuit De La Sarthe is where it all goes down. Our announcement of this track coincides with the 24 Hour of Le Mans event that is currently underway in France, so make sure to check out footage from the race to get a feel for this amazing track. A track with so much racing history...and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate its uniqueness than to include it in Forza Motorsport 3.

http://forzamotorsport.net/uploadedImages/_assets/Misc/Double_Grid.jpg?n=9502

Opened in 1923, Circuit De La Sarthe utilizes local roads that remain open to the public in the off-season. You can tell by how worn out some of these sections have become over the years, making them that much more exciting to drive as you fight to keep your car under control while it skips along the warped tarmac of the Mulsanne straight. With Forza Motorsport 3's realistic driving physics you can bet you'll feel every bump in the road, because at Turn 10 we don't cut corners on authenticity.

You see...tracks get major love over here and rightfully so. Each one is meaningful and special in its own way, and without accurate track models and detailed artwork, that magic and uniqueness is lost. It's all in the details. That (and our unyielding love for motorsports) is why we've sent our track team to Le Mans France to gather real-time data of the actual Circuit De La Sarthe. Over the course of two weeks we collected insane amounts of reference material that was brought home, broken down, and used to accurately re-create every last detail of this incredible course.

http://forzamotorsport.net/uploadedImages/_assets/Misc/Track_reference_Full.jpg?n=2588
The Turn 10 track crew walks the course...gathering valuable data for reference along the way.

In fact when asked for a few images of his reference trip to the Circuit De La Sarthe in France, Turn 10 track lead Matt Collins sent over a shared folder containing over 15,000 images ...nearly 60GB of source material! Looking through these images/videos I found reference on just about everything (and I mean everything). Track barriers, road materials, rumble strips, vegetation and trackside buildings are just a few of the things that we're documented during their visit to France. Combined with endless amounts of physical data collected via GPS, aerial photography and a team of car experts to ensure accuracy, we had everything needed to create a scale replica of the world famous Circuit De La Sarthe in Forza Motorsport 3. It's honestly way too much content (and hard work) to cover in the scope of this article, but the passion and pride we take in track modeling will shine through as you take your very first lap around the Circuit De La Sarthe in Forza 3 this October.

Track_Reference_SmallTo celebrate the announcement of this world famous track we've released another batch of sexy screenshots, so check them out here! This weekend also marks the beginning of our very own 24 hour racing event, the Audi AXF-24 Hour Challenge. Nine of the fastest Forza racers will compete in a 24 hour Forza 3 endurance race for over 20 grand in prizing! It's going down this weekend at the Audi Forum in New York City, and I'll personally be there to report on all the action and excitement. Check out the Turn 10 studios blog and our official Twitter page for the most up to date info from NYC. Left: Matt Collins takes reference of the famous Mulsanne straight.

We'll also have coverage of the real 24 Hour of Le Mans race event, as Che Chou and Dan Greenawalt hopped on a plane earlier this week destined for Le Mans, France! Check back soon for their impressions! I hope you've enjoyed this inagural content release, and remember to check back often for the latest news on Forza Motorsport 3.

Peace

Landin

the demo came out earlier this morning. last i checked its not up at market place, but you can find it in the marketplace online and it'll be added to your active download queue the next time you power up your 360.

Xbox LIVE Marketplace | Forza Motorsport 3 (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/nl-GB/games/offers/0ddf0001-0000-4000-8000-00004d538861?cid=SLink)

I'm loving the demo so far. there's lots of small details included in the game that are not in forza 2 (aside from the obvious cockpit and graphics upgrade) that make the game feel more real.
Yep, downloading now! I had to drop $8 for a month of gold because until the 30th, it's for gold members only.

Okay, now that I've played the demo, I am completely amazed. This game is absolutely stunning. The physics feel amazing, definitely nothing like any other game out there.

I also saw the opening video for the first time and it really shows off stuff this game has to offer. They even drop hints during the loading screens about everything you can do in the game, including "team drifting" online.

GT5 is going to be sooooo much better when or if you play it in 6+ months.

It will either be:

A. Marginally better.
B. Mediocre or on par compared to all the fun you could have with Forza.
C. In the words of my wise friend Brian... still won't be able to do proper donuts.

The demo is alright, for what it is. Once you get use to the California when using manual w/ clutch its hella fun. my highest drift score in one lap so far was a 17,256 or some shit? im pretty consistent now, which is cool. the gravel doesnt trap you as much as forza 2. you can kind of power your way back on to the track. the new rewind feature is sweeet. one thing me and a friend noticed is there is no shifting animation when u use the in car view. but when you go to 3rd person, its there? uuuuuggghhh i cant wait.

no it's not gonna be in the game. They said they were having trouble getting him to not drag his hand through the wheel, and so they just cut it. there just wasn't enough time b/c they absolutely had to make the made dead line.

jobs were on the line with this game after all the fiasco w/ FM2.

this time they actually have separate drive-train swaps. So it should be possible, since they made the 22B rwd then i would at least think they would have a RWD swap for all popular RWD swapped drifto mobiles.

Rolly, i'm pretty sure we will never get back the awesomeness of forza one where the s14s sideskirt was almost touching at a stopped position..... god i can't believe how much fun that game still is.

oh yeah, to anyone who hasnt added me on 360. do so

I hope they have kits people actually run on there cars. BN, version select, origin, etc. forza two had alot of the same kits as forza 1. cool to see the s13is in the game again. wtf is with the s15 where is the inter cooler there is just generic black texture.

check out the team black jack drifting video on the new map.

look at 1:50 s14 interior crazy!!
On the other note I also recently tried GT5 prologue and wow that game is horrible. The physics on that feel like I'm playing an arcade game, and pretty much all the cars feel the same. I don't get what all the hype is about that game the graphics are also very weak on it.

Is there anyword that a 180 will be in the game for sure? i seen a couple of car list that had a 98 180sx listed. From the pics posted above it looks like the wheels fit better to.

wow you guys dont know your sims. "drift mode" does not change the physics on GT5. also the Forza 3 demo has a drift mode as well so stfu fanboys and dont base this game just from the demo and the video.

jc, the awesomeness i miss the most from forza 1 was the RB26 RWD swap. mmmmmm

I must have missed the part where he mentioned GT5 anywhere in his post...

He was referring to need for speed type games......

Stupid fanboys can't read anymore apparently.....................

OMG HOW COULD YOU BASE THE QUALITY OF A GAME OFF ITS GAMEPLAY!!!! STFU GAMEPLAY FANBOYS!!!!!!!

Seems like the sony fanboys have become extremely defensive since the announcement of forza 3....just look at the ign boards and the latest hands on with gt5's absolutely terrible year 2001 damage model.........

BTW, the drift 'mode' in forza 3 is nothing but a change from the lap timer, to a drift score..........no change whatsoever in the gameplay or physics engine. Please know what your talking about before making yourself look like an uneducated moron, while your telling other people to 'know your sims'

FYI, the Turn 10 developer named 'Landin' aka BLKJ Blasto does nothing but drift on forza....hence how they used team blackjack to create the drifting SCORING mode.....Also hence why Team blackjack has access to forza 3's final build to create the awe inspiring video a few posts above. Might add, that video was created entirely in game.

Are you upset that they delayed your beloved game yet ANOTHER YEAR?! By the time GT5 comes out, Forza 4 will be out on the xbox 720

reading comprehension much?

anyway, ive played Gran Turismo since it was out, and loved it. ive played forza since it was out, and also loved it. im pretty much open and know what each game lacks. so to say one game is better is wrong.

do you have the insane car and track selection that GT has on forza? no. do you have the insanely nice graphics that GT has? no

but does GT have the customizing that forza has? no
and does GT have the engine swaps that forza has? no

so believe me, i can enjoy both games. and can be a critic on both. i was very upset at forza 2, so im not expecting much from forza 3. ill be waiting until it comes out so it can change my opinion.

and that video did not impress me OTHER than the fact that:
1) kaido is back
2) rwd swaps?

the chrome on the wheels are too shiny, the car models are still too shiny, and the cars dont go low enough.

there are announcing a new car everyday until release.....

Here is todays. (yesterdays was the Koenigsegg CCGT)

2008 Aston Martin DBR9 #008
Car of the Day 9.29.09

Landin Williams and Evan Griffey, 9.29.2009

With its direct connect to the road it is easy to understand why Grand Touring racing has been a bright spot in motorsports. The cars are based on real road going models and their affluent buyers appreciate a lively racing pedigree. The DBR9, named after the 1959 Le Mans-winning and ’59 World Sportscar champion DBR1, is the race version of Aston Martin’s DB9.

In 2005 the DB9 shed its 007 libido and hit the racing scene like a ton of bricks, seeing the checkered flag in its debut race, the 12 Hours of Sebring. The DBR9 impressed further with back-to-back GT1 class wins at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2007 and 2008.

The Bell Motorsports #008 was one of the cars that helped put Aston Martin back on the map in sports car racing, campaigning in the American Le Mans series in 2008. The DBR9 is a serious racing machine with extensive use of carbon fiber parts everywhere on the body except the roof which is aluminum. A thunderous 6.0-liter, 620-horsepower V12 engine provides propulsion as the sleek coupe engages in wheel-to-wheel combat with its main rival in the American Le Mans Series; the Chevy Corvette. In FM3 the DBR9 is a no-nonsense drive that requires firm concentration and a soft touch. With its R2-826 rating big dividends and super quick lap times await intuitive drivers who can tame the beast.

2008 BMW Motorsport Z4 M
Car of the Day 9.30.09

Landin Williams and Evan Griffey, 9.30.2009

Successor to the Z3 line, BMW’s E85 Z4 roadster launched in 2002, its automotive-art-sculpture looks serving as a sign of things to come from then BMW lead designer Chris Bangle. The M-Power division got involved when the M Roadster and E86 M Coupe dropped in 2006. With development dating back to the 3.0-liter straight six found in the E36 series, the Z4’s S54 engine carries on a tradition of performance and reliability. The plant pumps out 330 horsepower, tachs out at 8,000 rpm and when properly speed-shifted lays down 0-60s in the 4.8-second range in the 3200-pound Z4 M Coupe.

Despite growing up in the shadow of the venerable M3, the Z4 M Coupe has carved out a small racing pedigree of its own. BMW unveiled a turn-key racing version of the Z4 M Coupe in 2006. The racer, replete with wide-fender body work, aggressive aerodynamics and a 400-horse version of the S54, was designed for privateers and at $300,000-a-pop was an expensive date. The car has seen action in the Langstrecken Meisterschaft Nurburgring, a German endurance series held exclusively at the ‘ring as well as in other endurance events throughout Europe. So FM3 drivers have a worthy target to aim at and the knowledge that a properly built Z4 can be a serious sleeper. There is a grip of performance upgrades waiting in the tuning garage to make the dream a reality and painters will love the coupe’s long nose that beckons like a blank canvas.

2008 Mazda #16 Dyson Racing Lola
Car of the Day 10.1.09

Landin Williams and Evan Griffey, 9.30.2009

lMazda has a long history in motorsport highlighted by the 1986 Bonneville speed record of 238.44 mph set in the Racing Beat RX-7 and a coveted overall win at the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans in the four-rotor 787B. Mazda supports a number of race series in its Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development program, competes in the Speed World-Challenge and American Le Mans series and has an exceptional grassroots following so strong that Mazda is the most-raced nameplate in America.

Mazda’s most technically advanced racer on the track today is the Lola B09/86 MZR that battles in American Le Mans’ Prototype 2 category. Teaming with Dyson Racing with sponsorship from the BP energy company to field a pair of cars, the Mazda’s have fared well in their first year of competition. A Dyson Racing Lola B09/86 MZR took the class win at the company’s home track, Lime Rock in Connecticut, and the cars are currently running second and third in the season points.

The Lola B09/86 LMP2 Coupe is a one-piece carbon composite monocoque and is certified to ACO and FIA structural standards through 2012. The body panels feature lightweight pre-preg carbon composite construction. BP Dyson Racing Mazda coupes are powered by turbocharged 2.0-liter Mazda MZR-R engines prepared by Advanced Engine Research (AER) Ltd. Designed from a clean sheet of paper; the Mazda MZR race engine produces in excess of 500 horsepower. The plant features all-aluminum construction and is mounted as a semi-stressed member of the chassis via A-frames. The MZR is the smallest, lightest and most compact in the LMP class and there are no external belt drives or ancillaries. The camshafts, water pump and oil pump are internally driven by gears. The feisty 2.0-liter is backed by a six-speed sequential gearbox with a lightweight cast magnesium case that is designed to allow complete changes of gear ratios in 10 minutes without losing any oil.

The #16 Dyson Racing Lola B09/86 MZR brings a R1-943 rating to bear in Forza 3 which means it provides an intoxicating combination of grip and brute power. Use it like the fine precision instrument it is and dazzle your friends on X-Box Live.

#41 Team Davidoff McLaren F1 GTR
Car of the Day 10.2.09

Landin Williams and Evan Griffey, 1.1.0001

McLaren is known more for its F1 racing efforts where it won the 2008 world championship with Lewis Hamilton than its manufacture of road cars. The F1 team founded in 1963 by New Zealander Bruce McLaren merged with Ron Dennis’ Project Four Racing in 1981 and soon thereafter Dennis negotiated taking control of the enterprise.

Recently, McLaren has restructured and retooled creating McLaren Automotive to produce more road-going McLaren sports cars, joining the McLaren F1 and Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. The epicenter of this effort is the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey, United Kingdom, a ying-yang-shaped facility with one half being the building and the other a vast reflecting pond. Savvy FM3 gamers may choose to reflect upon the car that started it all; the McLaren F1.

The car in the spotlight today is one of the rare race-prepped versions. From the 100-car production run, only 28 were F1 GTR ‘long tail’ race cars, specially built for private customers competing in the BPR Global GT Series (current FIA GT) and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. As good as the F1 is on the road, going racing required much more than applying some stickers and adding safety equipment. The F1 needed aerodynamic downforce in a big way. The GTR retains the F1’s carbon fiber monocoque but the bodywork was all purpose built with a dramatically longer nose and tail, as well as a wider, more aggressive rear wing. The wheelwells were also widened to accommodate the largest tires rules would allow.

From its signature center driving position the McLaren offers a unique motoring experience. Its BMW M-Power-built 6.0-liter V12 deals out 600 horsepower and is one of the few engines to be detuned for racing. Road going F1’s are rated at 627, sprint 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and stretch out to a top speed of 240 mph. The road-going car was the world’s fastest production car for 12 years from its 1993 debut until the Koenigsegg CCR dethroned it. Racing GTR’s dominated at Le Mans taking first, third, fourth, fifth and 13th in the ’95 race. Team Davidoff won the GT class at Le Mans finishing second overall in 1997 wearing the infamous Gulf livery.

But the writing was on the wall and the program wound down as the ‘98 season approached. The Mercedes CLK-GTR was coming into its own. BMW officially left the F1 GTR effort after the ’97 season to work on its own Le Mans prototype. And finally, McLaren withdrew its factory teams. It should be noted that the GTR was a converted street car racing against clean-sheet racers. Team Davidoff and Parabolica Motorsports continued on with their aged cars in 1998, but could finish no better than fifth in a single race. Team Davidoff were the only ones to score points that season, finishing 6th in the teams championship. After 1998 the GT1 class was abolished due to the dominance by Mercedes Benz, and McLaren F1s never raced in FIA GT again.

The pedigree of the 1998 #41 Gulf Team Davidoff McLaren F1 GTR, the Last of the Mohicans, includes famed Le Mans. It retired but a sister car managed a fourth overall. The GTR’s impressive R2-846 is a testament to its legacy and the abilities of McLaren. Be wary, there was an editorial item in “Autoweek” back in the day touting a McLaren F1 replacement muffler costing $17,000, so watch that damage counter!

Sounds like the cars on disc 2 are just cars from forza 2

Forza 3: Exploring Disc 2
A complete list of the 104 cars available for download on day one.
by Hilary Goldstein

October 2, 2009 - Forza Motorsport 3 has too much love to give. That's not a joke. Not all of the cars and tracks could fit on one DVD, so developer Turn 10 had to split them onto two discs. The first disc is your game disc. Insert it and you have access to most of the environments and about 300 cars. To get the rest (104 cars, 29 tracks), you'll need to install disc 2 on a hard drive.

When you first insert disc 1, it will ask if you want to install the second disc. The install eats up 1.9 GB of space. Yowa! But you can instead choose pieces of disc 2 to install if you have limited space or a memory card.

Disc 2 is broken up into four packs that act like downloadable content. If it's installed on your hard drive, then the game reads it and adds in the content seamlessly. If not, then you won't see these cars or tracks in your game and can't use them in online multiplayer.

Here's a breakdown of what comes on disc 2.

2006 Mitsubishi Evo IX & HKS Time Attack Evo
Car of the Day 10.5.09

Landin Williams and Evan Griffey, 10.2.2009

The Lancer Evolution IX is the last stop for the venerable 4G63 engine that powered the marque to four straight WRC driver’s titles from 1996 to ’99. The engine was a go-to player for street tuners since its days in the original DSMs, the 1989/90-and-up Eclipse/Talon/Laser. In the Evo IX the powerplant is at its zenith with the addition of MIVEC variable cam technology, hollow cams, revised cylinder head cooling passages and a larger compressor housing on the 16g turbo. Power is rated at 286 but this is merely where the party begins as the Evo is one of the best-ever tuning platforms. Big power, in the realm of 700 horsepower, awaits in the tuning garage. The Evo driving experience is as much about grip as it is about thrust. The IX’s all-wheel drive system features an active center differential that splits torque front to rear from any ratio between fully locked and fully open and front and rear limited-slip differentials that feed the torque to the individual wheels.

Many awe-inspiring modified versions prowl the highway and byway of America and abroad. But the baddest of the bad has to be the HKS CT230R Time Attack Evo. A true terror, its menacing Stinger Red based paint scheme a blur, this car has defied space and time on both sides of the Pacific.

In 2007 this Mitsubishi dominated the Super Lap Battle event in Unlimited AWD class. Skillfully piloted by none-other than drift star Nobutero Taniguchi the HKS Time Attack Evo set the record at famed American time attack venue Buttonwillow Raceway. Its time of 1:43.523 broke the old mark by a whopping 5.383 seconds and still stands as the track record. Many have taken swipes at the time but none has succeeded in toppling the HKS Time Attack Evo. As a result the former record holder’s time is no longer even in the top 10.

The HKS Time Attack Evo also has a place of honor at the birthplace of time attack, the Tsukuba Circuit in Shimotsuma, Japan, where it was the first car in the 53s, its 53.589 also a long standing track record. With 560 horsepower and a supremely well-honed suspension the car illustrates the potential of the Evo line and forces tuners to aim high if they plan to impress.

I am so friggin jealous! Sucks ass watching them tune and paint cars on the dashboard!

If you watch the video i posted a few above this one, you will see that the journalists already have content up on live. The best of forza 2 received the game today....so the first of their content should be ready by the 27th!

Ugh, October needs to go faster. The track that that guy raced on in that video looked absolutely SICK!

Here's the next car of the day.

Primetime Racing was founded in 2007 by owner/driver Joel Feinberg. The team runs the only GT2-class spec’d Dodge Viper Competition Coupe in the American Le Mans Series.
The 2008 campaign was the team's first full season of racing and the Viper’s best result was a fifth place finish in the GT2 class at the season opening 12 Hours of Sebring. Overall, Primetime finished in eighth place in the GT2 team standings.
The Viper Competition Coupe is a snake on a diet with items such as the interior body panels, carpet, instrumentation, air conditioning and stereo systems deleted. All tallied these efforts lighten the car by 380 pounds. The Competition Coupe comes equipped from Dodge Motorsports with a full roll cage, a racing fuel cell and other racing-related equipment. It is not sold through dealers and is purchased from Dodge directly as, essentially, a very expensive race car component. The car’s cost about $140,000 then teams need to prep the car for whatever series they race in be it AMLS, Speed World Challenge or the regulations of some other sanctioning body.
FM3 gamers can tame the serpent’s 8.3 liters of V10 fury on ALMS tracks like Sebring, Road America, Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca. With 520 horses under the hood and a ton of mechanical grip under the tires this American Le Mans GT2 racer with its R3-714 rating is a no-compromise drive that will challenge your throttle control skills and overall driving ability.

Forza Motorsport 3 Eyes the Finish Line with Full Car and Track Lists and Free Launch Day Add-ons

Forza Motorsport 3 Launch Trailer

Racing fans and car lovers the world over are counting down the days until the much anticipated release of “Forza Motorsport 3” on Oct. 27, exclusively for Xbox 360. With the finish line in sight, Turn 10 and Microsoft are looking toward the winner’s circle as they officially release the game’s full list of cars and tracks on Forzamotorsport.net. On launch day, that list will grow even larger with the release of a free Game Add-on car and track pack, available exclusively by way of a one-time-use token card included in every new copy of “Forza Motorsport 3.” To celebrate these announcements, the team has also released the game’s official online trailer, featuring never-before-seen gameplay footage.

Putting the speculation amongst the buzzing Forza community to rest, Turn 10 has lifted the curtain on the more than 400 cars and 100 tracks to be featured in “Forza Motorsport 3.” The garage roster includes 30 Ferraris, 28 iconic Porsches, as well as cars not previously available in any racing game, such as the new Aston Martin DBS, Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR, and the 2009 Acura ARX ALMS race car. “Forza Motorsport 3” players will be the first to fully paint, customize, and tune these incredible cars and more.

Additionally, the Motorsports Legends Car Pack gives players another great reason to be excited about picking up “Forza Motorsport 3” on launch day, delivering 10 classic race cars and roadsters, on top of two extra tracks: the brand new Benchmark High Speed Ring and the returning circuit Sidewinder Proving Grounds. On Oct. 27, this pack will be exclusively available via a one-time-use token card included in every new copy of “Forza Motorsport 3.”

The Benchmark High Speed Ring is best described as an old airfield and hangar converted into a race track and automotive playground, perfect for all manner of creative “Forza Motorsport” hoonage and multiplayer mayhem. The track is characterized by 3.96 miles of rough surfaces and huge open areas, featuring a massive oval, an 8-lane drag strip, and an airplane hangar that players can drive (or drift) through.

The free Motorsports Legends Car Pack includes these 10 cars hand picked by Turn 10:

’65 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA
’64 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage
’81 BMW M1
’60 Chevrolet Corvette
’69 Dodge Charger
’57 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa
’80 Fiat 131 Abarth

Landin Williams and Evan Griffey, 10.7.2009

Pick your favorite Big Three manufacturer and go big time circle track racing. Forza 3’s intense physics model will allow you to also play the role of crew chief as you manipulate tire pressures, swap springs, adjust shock performance and add sway bars to these Monte Carlo SS; Dodge Charger and Ford Fusion stock cars then evaluate the changes at speed on the track. Test the changes at oval or oval-based circuits like Sedona, Sunset Peninsula and Twin Ring Motegi or go the road racing route at exotic venues such as Le Mans, the Nurburgring and Silverstone. With a common starting point truly talented tuners will rise to the top. Further these naked racers are screaming for lively liveries, making them prime targets for painters.

That means i have to pay $90 instead of the planned $60 just to have access to those damned cars. That is gay. i don't need a stupid forza themed flash drive or a damned keychain. Give me the game, and those cars for $65 damnit!

Guess its just like the Forza 2 LCE that was only sold in europe......

Id buy a 240sx hatch + coupe with all the different 'standard' front end conversions and same for the s14 for $10 bucks and the added option of all the different motor swaps. or a s12 200sx. or the original silvia

IGN review just went up

Forza Motorsport 3 Review
One of the best racing games ever made.

Forza Motorsport 3 is an exemplary racing game. It's beautiful, the controls are spot-on, the career mode is satisfying, and the multiplayer component is awesome. But there's still room to grow. The visuals could be even better, the career mode sags at times, and there needs to be at least one more option for AI difficulty. Even with those concerns, Forza 3 is a big step forward for sim racing games. Turn 10 has thrown down the gauntlet and it will be a real challenge for Polyphony Digital to deliver a superior racer with Gran Turismo 5. After all, this is the best racing game of this generation. Good luck topping it.

Downhill drift video, and the rolling, drifting land rover on nurburgring FTMFW!!!!

The R33 sounds so damned mean

October 9th at 12:06am (he is streaming right now) has a badass example of high speed rollover with an old M3 on the ring. Was way better than anything on the demo.

Maybe that's the car he wants to dick around with, and will go with the game that will deliver it.

I've been playing Forza 2 to get warmed up for 3. I've been dicking around with C class cars on Mugello short. Best was a high 1:04:xx, averages are 1:05:xx.

Cars I have tried so far are S13, S14, Rx7, S2k.

Anyone wanna do some time trials? Make a C class car and hit up Mugello short, post your times.

So where are my SWW boys? I should be getting a 360 when FM3 drops, if not a little earlier. Probably just buy it all at once though. We still down for sexy tandem action? I'm tired of waiting... I want it now. :p

actually, yeah, because i'm a ferrari guy, and i think reventon's look like shit. also, am i the only person in the world that likes to drive their real life car in a video game?

No not at all. I wish the 180 was in the game. It has been neither confirmed, nor denied for DLC though. Remember, there are 422 cars launching with the game, and another 120 coming in DLC.

remember, they are a small private sim racing group, so there could be ass kissing in the review from them, companies wont like it if they shit on a product and would stop supplying them with stuff.

tuned class C? or a stock class C car?

I've been doing tuned C class, tried taking D class all the way to C550 and also tried smaller upgrades like an R32 with tires and suspension.

No matter what I try I can't seem to make one do Mugello in 1:03:xx or less.

I was trying Tsukuba too, I think my times were around 0:55:xx, not sure though.

If MS paid off the journalists.....then they spent a hell of a lot of money on bribes.

Remember. These people have been playing the game for a month solid. Guaranteed this is the only game that has been in their system since Turn 10 gave out the review, neogaf, and fm.net copies. This game is going to absorb my free time.
