[Official] Forza 3


Recommended Posts

So I FINALLY got my Forza 3 Ultimate Collection delivered today, saw it was two discs, one labelled an installable content disc, so first thing I did was install it (thinking it would be the intelligent thing to do). Now when I go to play the game it tells me to install disc 2 but then crashes the console on me because it's already installed :( very sad now been waiting to play this game for months.

Actually installing it on the dashboard won't do anything. it'll install it but the game own't see it. you need to install it through the game, it'll install it differently somewhere else. otherwise you'll have it installed twicem one usable and one useless :p

Put in disc one first and follow the instructions on the screen, do not install the game to your hard drive until you have followed all the instructions on the first disc. I made the same mistake when I bought my original copy :)

I been playing GT5 a fair bit and I have to say while the photo mode is obviously incredibly beautiful, the gameplay is just not as good as Forza, the physics dont seem as dynamic, the maps themselves seem kindof plain (especially when the 'premium' models are so detailed - they look out of place) - the main difference though is the framerate - I had my PS3 and 360 runnin at same time, I played a course in GT5 then quickly switched to the channel my 360 was on and the difference was unbelievable - as Forza is closer to constantly being 60FPS, you really feel way more like your moving fast.

The ONLY thing I prefer in GT5 is the modelling (handling, sound and graphically) of the integrale in it, it is IMO by far the best modelling of an integrale yet, and just about beats Forza 3's (though GT5 loses respect for having 12,000 rpm on the clock rather than 9,000).

One thing I never understood in Forza 3 though is why you can't get the 'Bianco Pearlatto' (white anisotropic/'flip' paint) paint colour for the integrale anymore - it was there in Forza 2 :(

    • Microsoft should never have purchased anything after RARE.
    • Call of Duty: Vanguard, EA Sports FC 26, and more come to Xbox Game Pass by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is in the process of making some big changes to Xbox Game Studios right now, which might include studio shutdowns, but Game Pass drops aren't pausing for that. The second wave of June was just announced, unveiling another Call of Duty addition, the latest soccer game from EA, an indie road trip hit from last year, and more. While Microsoft said it won't put Call of Duty titles on Game Pass on the day of launch anymore, older titles keep landing, with the latest one being 2021's Call of Duty: Vanguard. Here are all the games that were announced today for Xbox Game Pass, their platforms, and arrival dates: Junkster (Cloud, XBOX Series X|S, Handheld, and PC) – June 16 Call of Duty: Vanguard (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 17 EA Sports FC 26 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 18 Abyssus (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 25 RV There Yet? (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 30 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – July 2 Winds of Arcana: Ruination (Cloud, Console, Handheld, and PC) – July 6 From the bunch, Junkster is the sole day-one drop into Game Pass libraries of this selection. As new games arrive, eight will be leaving the Game Pass programs on June 30. Here's the full list of leaving titles: Mecha Break (Cloud, Console, and PC) Payday 2 (Console) Rise of Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Slay the Spire (Cloud, Console, and PC) Ultimate Chicken Horse (Cloud, Console, and PC) Volcano Princess (Cloud, Console, and PC) Unpacking (Cloud, Console, and PC) With June drops finished, Microsoft should have a new Game Pass announcement in about two weeks to reveal the first wave of games coming to subscribers in July. Already confirmed games for the month include the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake, Corsair Cove, SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed, and Mistfall Hunter.
