[Chapppers11]

cant wait for it to come out!

 

[Alex H]

I'm probably not going to buy it.

I would if they'd included the Audi R8 V10. But it's not in any of the videos, or screenshots, so I'm not going to take the risk.

I know, such a shame really. Best buy a PS3 and get GT5.

 

[iain187]

it'll be locked at 60 to keep tearing to a minimum. the human eye doesnt really notive any change over 30fps anyway tbh, these people that claim they can tell when theyer fps dropped from 100 down to 60 or something are talking crap.

i dont know if it's different on tele's or with consoles etc

but when i used to play CoD on PC i could tell once it went below 100.

anything in 3 figures all looks the same but you notice a bit of laggyness below that imo.

FPS argument is null and void for most people who use LCD's which are typically locked at 60hz. Which means they can display a max of 60 FPS. True 120hz LCD's are still very rare. Think only a handful are currently available. All these 200+HZ HD TV's you see aren't true 200hz just marketing crap.

However you won't see the difference between 100fps and 60fps you will feel it in certain games however. Online shooters especially due to mouse movement etc. Just seems more accurate / smoother with higher frame rate. 30 - 60 is easily seen though. I struggle playing some games which are capped at 30 as they give me a headache.

 

[Turkish]

Piss, looks like the Mk1 GTi (aka rabbit in the US) has the American front end

 

[Christopher]

FFS!

 

[Turkish]

With Acura's etc you can understand models being the US market version but FFS IIRC only the US got the MK1 with that front end. Looks pony.

 

[Cookie]

It's a shed anyway, so who cares

 

[Scutch]

Won't you be able to mod it and change the front end to single round anyway?

 

[Turkish]

lol, the mods don't go as far as front end swaps Scutch, might have some bumper/sideskirt options but I can't see them offering the option to swap from US to Euro front end.

 

[Chris n nic]

I'm PREYING that there are different bumpers/lights sets like on the first game that will make it look like it should

Chris

 

[Turkish]

On the forums all the Americans are pretty much saying tough s**t T10 are american so what do you expect etc. I would say to them how would they react if a game included a european market version of their cars but then nobody buys their horse and cart suspensioned, 57 cup holder specced, pig iron land yacht pieces of s**t in europe.

 

[Turkish]

Interesting, for those who've been following this, the tracks in question are the mountain track shown in alot of the in car footage from early on and the tests track with the orange paint, again revealed early on at E3 etc.

FEUERDOG, myself, and Masscot recently brought to light the possibility of the spanish tracks being connected.
I recently posted the speculation on forza central, and got this from BADNED (who, as most of you know, is all-knowing in regards to forza):
"There is nothing to think my friend, there is a big course and the map you guys did is pretty much spot on.

"
Here is a rough sketch of the track that has now been confirmed. We aptly named it "Circuit de Montserrat"

South Africa has the same front end iirc

 

[minismithy90]

Not long to go now

 

[James172Cup]

Piss, looks like the Mk1 GTi (aka rabbit in the US) has the American front end

Looks like an old Talbot Samba

 

[James172Cup]

Same car? First pic is small but i'm not totally convinved....

 

[Turkish]

Yup same car.

 

[James172Cup]

*lets go of straws*

 

[Christopher.]

just got am xbox 360 off flea bay so i can play this and forza 2 (again after nearly a year) untill it comes out

 

[Gaz.]

Lol at the Rabbit. Poor b******s. Circuit de Monserrat looks a bit brutal.

 

[dk]

I'm probably not going to buy it.

well get excited then, you can race with it next week!

not sure if this has been posted, but the demo is out next week

Forza 3 demo will be released on Xbox Live on September 24, it has been confirmed.
Microsoft made the announcement after revealing that the game was completed and had entered the production stage.
The Forza 3 demo will allow players to drive five different cars, including the 2009 Ferrari California and the 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro.
Races will take place on the Spanish mountain course of Camino Viejo. The demo featuring online leaderboards, and lap times.
Forza 3 is due to be released for the Xbox 360 on October 23.

 

[Turkish]

Yup it has Dave

Alex was being sarcastic anyway, both of us are sick of seeing that boring as f**k 4WD Audi in the footage constantly.

 

[dk]

doh, didn't want to read millions of pages to check.

i'll go back to my celebrity threads then

 

[Turkish]

Only a couple of pages back TBH it's fairly recent info.

 

[Christopher]

well get excited then, you can race with it next week!

not sure if this has been posted, but the demo is out next week

LOL

 

[Chris V6 255]

Taken off Forza Central

Sorry folks, PR just informed me the reveal will happen starting Wednesday.

The good news is that I have so many screenshots and cars to reveal that there will be tons of stuff to look at and read Wed., Thurs, and Fri.

And then next week is TGS and demo.

 

[Turkish]

Read that on Neogaf last night before I switched the mac off. I'm hoping it's the classic car reveal rather than the Ferrari one they've talked about. Be interesting to see if something big is being held back for TGS too

 

[Scutch]

Exciting. My LCE is ready to ship... obviously when it becomes available...

 

[Chris V6 255]

Be interesting to see if something big is being held back for TGS too

Nissan GT-R's?????
Surely it must be in!!!!

 

[Turkish]

They've not confirmed or denied the road car as yet. Could be a big deal if them open TGS with a short film showing the R35 road car, followed by a host of JDM favourites all blasting/drifting up or down Fujimi Kaido.

[clio_mad]

Nice bit of opposite lock from the X5

Can't wait to get my hands on the Reventon!!!
