Yeah, it looks amazing :woot: I'll definetly be picking this up when it releases :happy: but I still plan to get GT5, while Forza 3 is going to seriously over shadow GT (just a hunch) GT5 still looks great and I'm still getting it.

Now if only I had been an awesome Forza 2 player with mad skills and a member of team blackjack, then I would already have gotten to play Forza 3 :p

but yeah, awesome graphics combined with the driving feel that only forza delivers, topped of with all the old and new Forza XBL features... this game is going to kick some serious butt.

And finally I get to see cars roll without it being caused by network lag. I guess the competition in the car racing games industry have sort of given the game makers more power over the car manufacturers, no longer are the manuifacturers able to go "do you want to be the game without our car ? if you don't, then no damage and definately no rolls", instead the developers go "Do you really want to be the one car not in our game" wich is gooood.

even though rolling means I'll finish fewer races now :p though I guess the rewind feature may help. but I suspect that'll suck more price money out of you than hired drivers.

Forza 3 will also be forgiving in ways that its predecessors weren't, though. Make a mistake, and you have the option to rewind time for what seemed to be about 10 to 15 seconds, and try again.

Sounds good, I loved this feature in GRID

That sounds like a great feature to be honest. One of the things I really hated about racing games in general is to have a nearly perfect race and be in the lead until the last lap, then you lose it and wreck. That's 20-30mins down the drain and you gotta do the "entire" race all over again. More times than not, that ****ed me off to the point where I didn't even want to play the game anymore after that. Sometimes it can be a simple mistake like you had to scratch something real quick and you couldn't get your hands back fast enough. It happens :(

Expect to lose most of your prize money for the race if you use or have that feature on though.

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
