I'm so jealous of you guys in Europe right now.. we have to wait for 27th here. :(

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.

/b*tchy whinge

Are you saying that demo looks different from the final version?

I managed to play some FMIII at the Drive Your Dreams XBL live event. Kaido is awesome. Controls were a bit wonky.. maybe it is because of the controllers. But even so, I feel the physics were lighter for some reason.. maybe it's just me. Took a spin at a real autocross.. I was lucky to sit shotgun to a G35. It was crazy!lol. There was also a ton of other cars.. i.e AE86, Miatas, R32, Imprezas, a Lotus something not sure what it was. Also got a freebe shirt aswell! great day!

I slept in so .. :(

damn.. you should stop doing that. Oh yeah forgot to say.. I also tried out the 3 monitor+racingseat(includes rumble)+xbox surround system + Racing Wheel kit. Amazingly fun. Too bad you need so much green in order to get it. :( oh well.. a great driving experience for me! (game wise).

Game is awesome (Y):)

But I installed both Disc 1 and 2 to my HDD (had to delete so much stuff, only got the 20GB and got the LE and other content installed too) and I am not finding any improvements over the load times when playing via the HDD. Anyone else experiencing this?

I don't see any major improvement on the load times, there probably is limited speed but nothing noticeable.

Just played the demo.

Meh. Gameplay just the same old thing as Forza 2. After playing NFS:Shift, this game feels like arcade. The cockpit sucks. Feels like I'm viewing through the onboard camera. Not much realistic movement in there. When you drive, your body moves...but not in this case. Looks like the driver's head is glued to the seat. Can't look up or down only left and right...so that's not realistic at all.

I'll be getting this on Friday! :) There's an offer going on in HMV where you get ?25 off Forza 3 if you trade in DiRT 2 or NFS Shift, so I'm killing two birds with one stone, by getting rid of NFS Shift (which I didn't really want in the first place; I only got it because my mum kept pressuring me to practice for the UK Finals because I got in!:pp ) and replacing it with a much better racing game!:DD

I think I'll laugh with you too! :rofl:

Forza 3 is nowhere near arcade. Need for Speed Shift is still over the top, even though it aimed for realism, and I think I prefer the in-car view on Forza, because it's a lot less dramatic. That's all EA seem to do with most of their games; add in a load of dramatic camera shifts and there's half of the game right there! :p

    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders.

Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By excalpius · Posted

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
