[Official] Forza 3


Recommended Posts

Yea that's my concern as well with the sofa, not sure if I can put a chair where my sofa is without the Mrs raising eyebrows :)

It's worth trying on your sofa - if you have a low slung coffee table or something you can get your feet under for the pedals, you should be fine.

I think it's a bit of a daft idea having a desk-clamp on the unit though - for something designed for use with Xbox / televisions.

A lot of people are saying that it is hardly worth the install of disc 1 because the load times are maybe a fraction of a second faster lol. I just do it so the damn drive is not spinning. My console was manufactured in July of this year to lol.

Ughhh. That damn 100k in a single lap for drift is a pain.

Just tryed on Kaibo (sp) on reverse and for my first time learning how to drift I managed to pull 57,511. I really don't feel like spending another 11 minutes attempting it. Though I'm getting better at drifting shouldn't be to long to snag it.

Rewind is your friend for this.

Shift Cockput View Video

Hmm I can see what they are doing and it is kinda clever and realistic in a way but the main thing that makes me feel weird is the zooming in/out which I'm guessing they are doing for sudden changes in speed? I've never driven a car fast enough to make my head go back that quickly so I'm not sure.

Yeah it is, I've been in a car that was going quite fast and suddently brakes and that happens....obvious not to the degree that Shift does it (but the same can be said about the blur, that doesn't really happen either :p) which is why they often call that "hyper-realism" because if they made it true 1:1 copy of reality, it be quite boring (well I think so and many game developers feel the same). However, all that said the Shift cockpit cam is probally one of the most awesome cockpit cams I've ever experienced and does provide an exhilarating experience! that is my 2 cents take with a grain of salt.

EDIT: Nice screenies guys :) I can't get mine off the 360 as I only have a Silver account, really does suck you even need gold to upload pics! (it sucks more you can't get them off the 360 directly or put a USB drive in there and save them to that...)

I installed it, didn't improve much at all :(

Am I wrong thinking that the LE version was meant to come with a free theme? I don't see it.

Yeah the LE edition comes with Free theme, but apparently there was an issue. So they are trying to resolve this and see how we can all download it, or fix the current download, and we re-download it again.

And yes install to HDD did not dramatically improve loading, but keeps the Xbox quiet :p

Finding the game to be unplayable on live with friends at the moment because the lag is so bad.. I think the servers are getting hit hard. Keep running into a bug where the lag makes cars bounce around like elastic on the track and, on quite a few occasions now, I've suddenly warped through my friends car which basically smashes my car to pieces (every component red) making it undriveable and the race is over.

It's dreadful and it's certainly neither of our internet connections as we played Forza 2 against each other lots and lots without any issues! :(

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
