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.

I AM RESERVING THIS ASAP when I go into work next. Also, the collectors edition comes with

Exclusive Forza 3 Premium NXE Theme

The thing is, for an extra 20 I get all that? EM DO WANT NOAH!

Keychain + Flash Drive. Since I carry a flash drive on my keys anyway, and i am a keychain fanatic, I dont mind paying $20 more.

Plus the theme will be awesome becuase a racing theme, exspecially forza will fit right at home with me. ATM im still using Fast and Furious Theme.

I WANT!

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.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
