[Official] Forza 3


Recommended Posts

What icons? lol Also has anyone got the theme that was meant to be included with the LE?

I was wondering the same about the Theme, I was thinking maybe we can download it on marketplace when they release it.

Same, I don't see anything VIP :/

on www.forzamotorsport.net if you login, you have a VIP logo next to your gametag.

It's nice to see the old tracks all updated.

and Maple Valley still scares me, beautifull track, but oh so unforgiving, especially if you happen to be in a RWD Muscle car.

it's a fun track to do suicides on ;). Did I mention I only drift? lol.

One thing annoys me about FM3 - how come all the cars have the exact same brake squeal sound when pulling up to the grid before the race starts :p

Nah that engine rev thing where the screen shakes for a second is the most annoying thing :p

Ok I need some Forza 3 peeps to friend me up, I fancy getting together a party and racing a bit. I'm by no means a noob racer (although I haven't leveled up much in career yet).

Would be cool if we got some Neowin races together...

Send me a request, Gamertag: Mr Edwardo (yes, with a space :p )

See y'all on the track!

I added you

GT = Pheis

Unbelievable. Once again, Forza is shat upon, because all of a sudden on launch day the anti-aliasing disappears and textures and colours take on a more cartoon, saturated look. 60fps is fantastic and on Forza is really necessary... but don't make the demo and the screens pretty until race day. Totally dishonest and bullsh*t, and this is the second time.

What ?

The textures and colours are the same, and the AA+filtering of the photomode shots where pretty obvious. Especially since before launch they showed us pictures and videos form both photomode as well as a few from live races. and the game looks exactly the same as the demo.

As for colors changing, I suspect that has more to do with you seeing the screenshots and video's on a good monitor, and then playing the game on either a cheap tv or a badly set up tv. The type and set up of the tv can make huge differences in the quality of the images it produces.

Yep, in fact I totally take back everything I said. It responded very very nicely to TV setting/HDMI Reference Level fiddling in the end. I was more than a bit impatient, I fiddle way too much with TV settings and probably changed them a lot since playing the demo. It now looks as stunning as I could ever have expected, very nice game.

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195) by Aditya Tiwari Image: Snap Inc. Smartglasses powered by augmented reality are the latest fashion because the smartphone market is slowly reaching saturation. Snap Inc. announced its latest AR-powered smartglasses, called SPECS, that aim to strike a middle ground between underpowered AI glasses and heavy headsets you can't wear all the time. Available in two sizes, Snap SPECS are made from high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer and feature removable inserts to support prescription lenses. Its 47mm model weighs about 132g; the bigger 52mm model weighs 136g. Snap Inc has been spreading the word about the new glasses for a while now. Earlier this year, it even spun off its smart glasses team into a subsidiary called Specs Inc. Its proprietary LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display delivers a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the device gives the feel of a 24-inch desktop monitor when you're working, and of a 115-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 feet away when watching a movie. A pair of custom stereo speakers and 6x high-SNR MEMS microphones are built into the temples of the smartglasses to deliver open-ear audio while you cast a screen, stream content, open a whiteboard, or collaborate with others. Snap Inc. patted itself on the back, saying the smartglasses don't need tethering or a puck to connect to a computer. Under the hood, SPECS draw its power from two Snapdragon processors: one for computer vision and another for running Lenses. The device supports fast hand tracking, low latency, and responsive interactions that help digital content feel anchored in the real world, according to the company, which claims that SPECS can "deliver 7-millisecond motion-to-photon latency." The smartglasses offer up to four hours of battery life on a single charge while providing AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, Lenses, audio/video playback, and more. The battery life could jump to 20 hours of mixed use when the charging case is included. Image: Snap Inc. You can view and interact with AR Lenses anchored directly to the physical world around you, and an on-board AI assistant uses the camera to see what's around to answer questions or provide real-time help with tasks. Snap Inc. noted that it filed more than 7,000 patents during the development of SPECS. It's trying to build the required digital ecosystem around the smartglasses, and said that developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for SPECS. Moreover, their electrochromic lenses use the same technology available in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows, enabling them to shift from clear to tinted in just 10 seconds when you walk out of your house. Snap SPECS are now available for pre-order on the official website with a $2,195 price tag ($200 refundable deposit). The smartglasses are expected to ship in the US, UK, and France during the Fall this year.
    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

    • I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
