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
