[Official] Forza 3

You can still see the heavy compression in those images, just look at the Forza 3 logo in the bottom corner. I mean, the image is 72kb?

It's a shame, if only they were allowed to export to the hard drive.

Looks fantastic, glad I pre-ordered the game.

I was just playing the demo and a while back, someone mentioned you could do hot-laps ( without AI drivers on the road ) but I've looked everywhere and could find no such thing? It's impossible to set some decent times when you have the AI blocking you at every turn despite of difficulty. I still manage to beat almost everyone on my friends list with like 4-5 seconds despite my poor times :laugh:

what, you don't know how to do hot laps and drifting laps yet ?

just hit Y on the screen with the map when you are ready to start the race.

No, kinda why I asked and I only played the demo twice. Thank you for the reply.

[Pheee]

I didnt know you could do that, will have to try it out also.

[Lingwo]

Mine was despatched :)

I think i have my day planned tomorrow.

[what]

My copy was despatched by ShopTo.net on next day delivery today. I won't get much time to play it for a few weeks now though :( Ah well.

[Pheee]

Got some people on my friends list playing already today? Anyone got theirs today from Neowin?

[what]

I think a few people who pre-ordered from GAME got their copies today because they were despatched on Sunday evening...

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

A friend of mine got his copy today (think he ordered from Amazon).. sadly he's waaaay up in Scotland so not like I can pop over and check it out! Doh!

had I not ordered the ltd edition I would probably have had it today, but it doesn't fit in an envelope :p

I tried that but it didn't work... :blink:

[Spookie]

So yeah. Forza 3 is ace. :)

You have to be connected to live or the leaderboards won't show up. :)

[Xerxes]

My copy shipped today :) should show up next week sometime if I'm lucky (Australia Post is a joke)...but probably won't be able to play it till mid November, as my 120Gb HDD is not due to ship till next month :s :( ...well that is if I can't squeeze it onto my already rather full 20Gb HDD! :laugh:

[Lingwo]

Mine will be here soon, just waiting for postie to walk a bit quicker down my road :)

I got the limited edition version with the 2GB pendrive. Hopefully it's half decent so it can replace my old skool 1GB from the 1950's

[.KICK]

My limited edition arrived today and on my birthday too. :D

[Razorwing]

freaking 6 more days.. grrrr.. Do you guys think I can just walk into a store and pick it up? I didn't pre-order since I"m not getting the limited edition because of green reasons. lol.

[HawkMan]

Didn't arrive yet today.. :(

should definately be here tomorrow then.

[Spookie]

The R3+ cars are kicking my arse, I can't use the throttle for ****. :D

[Lingwo]

Got it today but only had time for about an hour. Already got annoyed with the AI. Unless you switch damage off and plough your way through them, i can't see how you would get first.

Not tried it online, i hope some people online play with a bit of respect.

[Razorwing]

it is almost time to put this

into Forza 3 :D.. just can't wait. And yes I"m in the Shelby behind the 1st one :)

Supposedly according to the reviewer, in the option the AI has a check box for psyke outs, so if you have a big car and come up behind them real fast, or act threatening at corners and such, there's a chance they'll run off the road.

Except for that, I suppose you'll need to get first just like every other driver out in the world, drive better and more aggressive :p don't be a chicken at the corners, and if you use the raceline, don't start braking when it turns orange, most cars can go significantly into the red before needing to brake.

And if the game is not here when I get home from work... I'll be really annoyed.

Played it for a bit yesterday, love it so far, the livery editor seems really impressive. Also made some amazing screens in photomode, their servers aren't up yet so I can't upload them unfortunately.
