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.

      Nvidia 610.62 driver lands with big bug fixes and Empulse support by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a new driver available for Nvidia GeForce hardware owners, and it's carrying a whole lot of bug fixes.

      After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
