Forza Motorsport 3 Demo Released


Recommended Posts

Conveniently forgetting that Sony charges the publisher for upping content to the PSN, even Free content (Although it's only for the first week or something?), whereas to my knowledge, Microsoft does not. Instead, that's where your Gold subscription goes (well some of it), then a week later its free to all.

Content isn't free, even if it's free to you. Someone, somewhere has to pay for it. With Sony, its the publisher, with Microsoft, its you.

Neither system is perfect, but with both systems everyone gets the content for free eventually.

Played the demo, and apparantly although it is leagues different than NFS:Shift, Shift must have helped me adjust to sim type of games, as for the first time in History with me picking up a Forza demo I did not only crash but I actually took first, which would have never, ever happened for me if not for getting into Shift.

With that said I just do not know, I am still really up in the air if these sim racers are even my cup of tea. I will probably definitely rent Forza 3 still, but it without a doubt fealt a bit stiff on the controls. Thats why I actually like Shift, as it still feels like a video game to me. This feels like a Sim, and I think that is pretty boring to me, but not 100% for sure, as part of me does like something about them.

I do have to say out of all these recent sim racers in the past few years and before my experience with Shift that prepped for for being a bit better at these games, GT Prologue has been the one that sucked me in the most. I just preferred the handling on it the best, so I might just hold off for GT5 and possibly skip Forza 3, but my way overpriced monstrosity of a accesory called the MS Wireless Racing Wheel does not work with the PS3 so I might as well get my moneys worth. Actually anyone in the NJ area want to buy it at a good price? :laugh:

I would buy it DL but I'm not in NJ...

For me, I may try F3 and see how it is as I have played first and second of the series...

Well I am just thinking shipping would be massive on the thing since it is so big, but I could definitely look into it and see how much it may be approximately.

I am actually loving this game.

I think they could of used a better track to demo the game on, it doesn't give the best feel being tightly packed ect.......but I dont really have any complaints!

Was hot lapping last night using the Porsche and lapped in at 1:03.8 and am in 7,025 so was in the top 7% :-)

It's their show off track, and the track that's allready been showed in all the videos. it's the track with all the 3D mountains and all that stuff onff in the distance and the curvy mountain roads.

and everyone knows about it and have seen it in the videos, they're keeping the other tracks closer even if they've been seen as well.

Haven't tested myself yet, but apparently when you get to the track selection screen, press Y and you can do hot laps with no AI and no limit for how long you can go on for.

Yup, just tried that, it works (Y)

if the forza demo is 1.25 GB, and it has one map, and 3-4 cars, how are they gonna put the whole game on a DVD, which is i think 4 GB? the demo is nice tho. i like the new layout.

Well a dual-layer DVD9 is 9GB, and there are two discs. Don't forget though there are more like 20 cars in the demo, because they have the models for the opponents in each of the five race classes as well.

Simple, the game engine is all there along with shared textures that are probably used across many tracks.

Also the number of cars in the demo is probably around 20/25 cars. Car geometry doesn't take that much space so it's all about the textures involved.

And yeah, the new layout is very sleek, love it.

hmmm, look if the content folder is at the root of the DVD, use Nero instead of imgburn, more easy to control folder structure that way

Apparently not many know of this. since I just found out that by hitting left and right in the hot lap leaderboard, you shift between hot lap and drifting leaderboard and my horrible test lap in the Porsche put me in top 8% :p it shouldn't even be top 95%. even if a GTR car is a horrible drifter :p

I suck at drifting (well right now since I haven't played a sim in ages, I suck at driving period. but... I think I'll try another more drift friendly car and see.

Something's weird about the drift scores, been trying a lot with the lancer, but the dirft leaderboard only show my R6 scores under AWD. But from what the game told me, during the racing, I should be worlds best in this leaderboard :p

ok, so apparently for some silly completely illogical reason (:p) your scores get disqualified from the leaderboards if you rewind :D

That still just put my latest but comparaqtely ****ty compared to the guys above me R8 drift scores in the top 2% :)

... yeah that's gonna last long after I told you guys :p

Did you get it working?

With ImgBurn when you are asked this say no and you should be good!

The folder structure on your DVD should be Content\0000000000000000\4D538861\00080000 (Don?t name the DVD content which is a mistake some people make)

Inside the 00080000 folder should be the demo with is just a file called 9735F566C530E21088D2A7A812379C4C52745DDB4D

Simple, it doesn't! it comes on 2 DL DVDs and has a mandatory install (which is what the second disk is for I believe).
