maybe they should have... there is just no excuse for cars to look that bad in a game that is suppose to the game that defines all racing games.

They probably couldn't if they wanted due to the budget already being at 60 Million Dollars.

Well the guys at T10 did it no problems and keep releasing great looking cars and tracks, who cares if they outsource the work. It gets done. As for the cockpits, they look pretty much the same as the Forza cars, perhaps thats why PD visited T10 studios... :alien:

The consumer doesn't care what the budget is. They want a full product. If the core (driving physics + car visuals) of it isn't finished, it is just not finished not matter how you put it.

Maybe instead of rushing the game out for this holiday season another 6 years of dev time would have helped and perhaps this could have been a launch title for the PS5 :laugh: It's like if T10 got half way finished with the game and just tossed cars from Forza 1 and 2 and shipped it as Froza 4 with a handful of "premium" cars. :rolleyes: I think I am done ranting for now. I will reserve further judgement until I get some hands on time with the game myself.

Perhaps the most surprising to me was when a couple developers from Gran Turismo makers Polyphony Digital came by to personally get hands-on with Forza 3, all the while taking careful notes, examining our UI system, shooting photos, and directly asking us some pretty interesting questions. The reason I say I was personally surprised was because PD aren?t generally known as a studio to acknowledge that there are racing games that exist beyond their own. Which could explain why the GT franchise has been so stagnant in the racing genre since GT3. So it seems competition is good for the consumer after all. I know for a fact that Turn 10 will never stop pushing racing games to the next level.

Yeah that's pretty much my thoughts too. How long was the Dev time for GT5? When they announced that GT5 would have sooo many cars I was estatic. "OMG OMG OMG". Then I hear that they were going to delay and delay and delay. So I thought.. that's no problem.. I mean that's a ******** of cars they have to re-model and also add new cars... they SHOULD all be the same quality right? :laugh:

My mistake thanks for highlighting as i could not find a direct news link, anywho 9 hours from now i won't be on these threads anymore.

No need for 10 variations of one car either and thats where most of the cars are coming from, just make them customizable like in "other" racing games and you would have a more manageable car list around 400-500 cars. Oh and this game has been on my Christmas list for awhile so I will see if I get it from someone :p I will still play the hell out of it as I love racing games :p

They didn't go to their Studios, they were seen at their E3 booth cool.gif

Try not to half quote stories...

It seems that Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital is highly interested in Forza Motorsport 3, going as far as to sample the game and take notes during E3 last week.

"Perhaps the most surprising to me was when a couple developers from Gran Turismo maker Polyphony Digital came by to personally get hands-on with Forza 3, all the while taking careful notes, examining our UI system, shooting photos, and directly asking us some pretty interesting questions," said Turn 10's Che Chou in a blog post (via Kotaku).

Yep, will ask if you want to upload to Picassa or Facebook :)

Thanks I'll go download the photo app now, just wanted to make sure it would still work before I wait on it (120mb or something I think it is).

In the meantime here's one of my focus out on the track. Still playing around with the camera settings in photomode...

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.

    • WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
    • i backup my files, incl keepass to my proton drive using Syncback which i paid for (thanks Warwagon!). they have a free version but i can't remember what it does and doesn't do anymore. anyways, it's really, really simple and easy to use. i also periodically keep backups of my keepass onsite especially when i've changed or added a password that is important to me. if you don't wanna spend time on the syncthing setup, get syncback. haha i even got my dad to use it for his backups to usb and he doesn't even need my help!!! (thank god!)
