Kinda sucks, Using Automatic and 270* instead of 720/900*?

A video can always give wrong impressions...

But look at how he is turning the steering wheel. Maybe it's just me, but somehow it looks a lot like what i've seen from Forza 2 videos with the old MS wheel. It looks like the wheel just acts as a joypad.

When people started demanding G25 support in Forza 2, the final answer was something along the lines of... It wouldn't be possible to have real force feedback on the xbox, and that the MS wheel is basically a joypad that looks like a steering wheel, etc. So when i've heard about the Fanatec wheel support, i wasn't getting very excited. How should a wheel fix the xbox from not being capable of real force feedback?

Forza will always remain a joypad type of game for me. I'd love to play it with the G25 (or any similar wheel) and proper force feedback, but it won't happen anytime soon.

PS: And why should it look much different than Forza 2?

Monza?

[jibber]

Hard to tell, but it doesn't look like Monza to me (where are all the trees?). Then again, i only drove Monza in FC and SBK09.

The guy filming could have focused on the player anyway, instead of filming the crowd watching him.

[danowat]

Didn't look like Monza to me either.

[Rappa Z]

That was the suzuka esses in reverse I think.

The devil is in the details

(don't think these uncompressed, unwatermarked, shots have been posted before)

cruise control hmmmmm i wonder

[danowat]

Not a big fan of "tuners", but, looks tasty....

[Greboth]

Those car models are looking immense. There seems to be sooo much detail in them.

[danowat]

Yeah, certainly does look very detailed, theres info coming out daily now, a couple of ropey dash shots, but you get the idea of the details.

Supra, Lancia Stratos and Reventon.

Comparing them to the same car in Forza 2... Wow, looks amazing.

Forza 3 is looking to be something special. Roll on October.

[danowat]

You certainly can see the difference when you compare 2 with 3

[Dajmin]

Those cockpit shots show off some nice detail on the tracks as well.

[danowat]

I dread to think at the amount of time, effort, and money, that went into texturing and modelling high quality interior and exterior models like that, the mind boggles.

Could you imagine a PC sim, LFS's physics and online, and Forza 3's visuals, upgrades and customization?, that would be pure heaven.

Oh my .....Cannot wait until this game comes out!! Finally a game which features the current V8 supercars!! (Assuming they do put a few cars from this years series) Lets hope they make a Bathurst track.

Brilliant.

Nice comparision.

Such an amazing difference. Even though it may sound a little nerdy, i love the ammount of detail in the tyres and wheels now. Even though you couldn't see them when racing (atleast, not much), it kinda ruined close-ups.

Looking forward to this game....ALOT.

[Greboth]

I said it before but it is amazing how they manage to get so much more detail in forza 3. Everything just seems to be better and higher quality than 3.

@Danowat: Don't tease us with the thought of something looking like forza 3 and handling like lfs. It would be a dream come true (and alot of extra expense in buying a new pc lol)

3 new videos, showing how the game begins, your starting car selections and how the career calender works.

Part 1:

Whats your starting car going to be?, I was thinking either the Fit, Fiesta or the C4....hmmmm

[beefyman666]

It's looking pretty good. Nice to see they've catered for the 'noobs' of racing games with the simple jump in a race kinda things. The one button driving thing looks like a joke, but that will only be on the casual mode.

If I see it rightly, it looks like theres a 'jump to garage' icon at the bottom right which will be pretty handy. That was one of the things I liked in some of the Gran Turismo's.

As for which car i'd start with, probably the Fezza.

All in all, it's looking to be awesome. Really can't wait for this to be released.

[danowat]

I might have to go for the Fit, although I wonder what the engine transplants for the Fiesta will be....

Also, did you notice the "Cosworth" upgrade parts?, I wonder if this means we are going to get a Cosworth model of some description, or its just parts for the Fiesta / Focus etc.

[beefyman666]

One can only hope we get some proper Cossie's.

Good lord, dont say that. You'll get me all excited...

Cosworths....My favourite cars EVAR. :P

[lukelfs]

Uhh, for some reason it wont let me stream the videos, So il have to download them, and I think il start with a MX5 if possible? If not some kind of Honda

Edit- Just watched part 2, Il go for the Honda Jazz/Fit

[danowat]

MX5 isnt an option.

You can choose...

Toyota Yaris
Nissan Versa
Honda Fit
Ford Fiesta
Scion xD
Chevrolet Aevo
Citroen C4

[lukelfs]

Ahh, Well as i said in my edited post il go for the honda,
Just watching part 2, Damn i want that cheat menu Lol.. the game looks really nice and clean, Cant wait!!

[Dajmin]

I can't watch those videos here at work (stupid outdated Flash version).

IGN has some really good articles about the career aspect and I have to say I'm getting pretty excited about it. The AI pressure system is sounding sweet, as is them learning how I like to drive.

Looks awesome, really can't wait

[obsolum]

I don't like the voice, I hope you can turn it off

[Nathan_French_14]

There seem to be some pics being realesed on Che's Twitter page. There pretty small and some are low-res, but atleast there ingame and we get to see some sneaky shots.

Did anyone say chrome?!


















Its been confirmed that there is now 20x zoom in Photomode, and the camera can be moved very very far away from the car now, which means you can do some great panning shots. Nascar is also rumoured to be in the Final game from a Beta tester, but ofcourse, he shown no proof, so its just a rumour atm.
