Forza 3... Who's Getting It?

Do you actually attempt to turn threads into flame wars... or is it purely accidental?

I thought that some people don't like mandatory install but I haven't heard any whining about the mandatory install of this game yet.

That's because there is no mandatory install. It's already been stated by Turn 10 the second disc is more cars and tracks and that you'll still be able to get the full Forza experience using just disc one if you don't have a HDD.
 
maybe this hasnt been mentioned, or maybe it has, but i have this sneaky suspicion the USB drive will have the ability to maybe transfer your custom tunes and liveries from one console to another? like, being able to take just your best few cars to a friends house and play with them on his console, but only while the drive is present?

or maybe the ability to copy game pics, and video and what not to the drive which can then be conveniently be uploaded to the forzamotorsport.net community forums????

just thinking....about what it could be other than "just a 2Gb USB drive"
 
Personally I think the USB stick is for the video editor... save your created videos, or export them from the game to the USB and edit them on the PC, something along those lines.
 
I'll only get it if the reviews say OMG best racer ever!
since gt2 there hasnt been a single racing game that I didnt get bored of after a couple of races
 
i cant wait for it myself....the pics and details of the LE edition make me even happier i have it waiting on me
 
I want to be excited for this game so much. Despite the fact that I've invested countless dozens of hours in #2, I can't help but see Turn 10 learning a little too much from the business side of EA. And I'll probably fall for it just as they'd love me to and pay some real money to unlock those five cars already on the disc! For some reason, this comes to mind:

"Half-Life 2: Episode 3, coming soon! Gordon Freeman playable character exclusive to collector's edition customers only*"

Turn 10, I hate you so much, yet I still throw my money at you and play your games. Lord help me.

You realise that there's a pretty good chance that you actually don't like this sort of game?
 
anyone know what the install size is?

as I only have 4.5GB free on my 60GB I'll have to delete a few game installs off.
 
New infos and some piccies...

“Forza Motorsport 3” Introduces Famed Circuit de Catalunya with New Euro-Sport Compact Cars

This October, racing fans around the world will be able to experience first-hand the adrenaline of taking on the revered Circuit de Catalunya raceway, as Turn 10 today announced the track for “Forza Motorsport 3.” The Catalunya raceway will make its franchise debut with a roster of exciting new Euro-Sport Compacts, as well as the return of the venerable Nürburgring raceway in Germany.

Home to the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, Spain, Catalunya is one of motorsport’s most vital testing grounds. Fans will create their own memorable moments as they encounter a variety of obstacles, whether it’s hugging the short and wide curves or speeding down the straights. Making its return alongside Catalunya is the Nürburgring raceway, which is widely considered to be one of the most challenging and legendary tracks in the world.

Don’t let their size fool you – equipped with compact exteriors and packing high-performance engines, these compacts will get you from 0-60 in a heartbeat.

If tuning is your specialty, you’ll love the multitude of customizable options available right at your finger tips. Compacts are known to be some of the most modified cars, and tuners can expect that same level of customization in “Forza Motorsport 3” to transform these cars into powerful driving machines.

New Euro-Sport Compacts available for fans to drive, tune and paint include:

* 2009 Alfa Romeo Brera Ti
* 2009 Alfa Romeo Mito
* 2010 Fiat 500 Abarth SS

why do they show pictures of car racing the wrong way of Barcelona :p

All the tracks will likely have mirrored versions available. Par for the course in racing games for some reason.

I bet the designers love seeing that done to their perfectly thought out track. :D

i wish they gave out some forza-branded racing gloves in the CE...

Man, that would have been cool, and obviously fit the game more then a USB drive. You should have been suggesting that to Turn 10 before this CE was put together. :)

It's funny how certain screenshots and posting styles are so similar when discussing this game. I wonder if Jared has an account here....hmmmm.....

Funnily enough I thought I recognised jared's posting style from somewhere when I first saw him post last night.

Edit - Ahah, he's banned already.
 
I think I recognised him because he posted under the name thejared over there before he got banned... and then came back.

Some people are just all kinds of nuts. They're games ffs.
 
This will almost certainly be the only game I buy in the 2009-2010 school year with the exception of fifa 10 which i am still debating in my head. Other then that I still have two years of games to catch up on.

edit: and Assassins Creed 2 lol

I'll be buying this game for sure but looking at these screenshots makes me a little sad its not coming out on PC as well.
 
rfactor is a good game, but it's not exactly king of the hill in the graphics department.

so? since when does graphics >gameplay? i would go as far as saying rfactor has better physics, gameplay and car damage than forza 2

He said "looking at the screenshots it makes me sad it's not coming out on the PC". That indicates to me that he's after it for graphics as much as anything else. Chill out with the defensiveness.
 
"if you plough headfirst into a barrier at 180mph, then don't expect the car to resemble a crushed can of Coke (believe us, we've tried). On the contrary in fact, the car will retain pretty much all of its structural integrity, coming away from the incident as if it'd had a minor prang with a Lada."

So are we sure the damage was "turned down" in this gif ?

I read that "article" on the weekend. It's quite interesting to see Forza commented on from a GT fanboy's perspective. :D

...and yes, that was done without sim damage on, and that kind of impact would end your race. That said, as explained before you're not going to see cabin deformation because manufacturers wont allow it.
 
why are all the video footages seen from someone driving with all aids on and no damage?
