I honestly think the ring has been overdone. I wish they'd spend the resources necessary for the ring and put them into other tracks you don't see as often like Brno.

They may as well throw any city locales that they've got right in the bin if they've only got one track like with NYC in FM2. :lol

No point wasting time on cities when they could be perfecting he ring. :D

Yeah, that track seemed REALLY out of place in FM2. It was beautiful (take a moment to stare down one of the side streets) but it seemed kind of from left field IMO. It also seemed unfinished with only one set up.

I wonder what the Nordschliefe looks like in this new engine.....

*spooges at the thought*

Seriously. It was one of a few tracks in F2 that actually looked pretty good, can't imagine the upgrade now.

And the ring is king.

Just listened through the podcast. From E3 to Le Mans in a matter of days, with hydraulic simulators, supercar conveys and helicopter tours in between. Oh the grind of modern racing game development. :D

:lol @ Dan's R8 burnout incident. Good thing he was paying attention!

Very cool podcast. I'm amazed at the supercar stunt MS pulled off for Le Mans. Che, since some of the Area 5 guys were there taking footage, will that be released over the coming weeks or is that going on the "making of" disc?

all a bit too clean looking really, much like that other game on that other system, needs some atmosphere, like PGR3/4 and GRiD, other than that, wonderful improvement over forza 2

edit: also, i hope the windscreens aren't invisible, i like being able to see the glass, PGR3 got that perfect

Ditto. Is this going to be up on iTunes soon? Bookmarking is my friend.
Click to expand...

Sorry, our iTunes RSS got borked and it's being fixed now.

In the meantime:

This won't happen again, or else somebody gets cut down!

Oh, and yes, we are producing a longer (8-10 minute) video for Forzamotorsport.net of Le Mans (Ryan and Cesar), while Jason Bertrand is putting the finishing touches on our E3 video which should go up later today.

chespace: are you guys adding a glass effect to the windscreens when in cockpit view? much like PGR/GRiD/DiRT does? really adds to the atmosphere

You really think so?

I think it looked like a generation apart from the Nurburgring in PGR4.

But since it's a new engine I expect good things to come from it.

Just a quick question, but how is the Logitech FX steering wheel?

Because I was thinking of going either with that or the official wheel (I lack money however).

New Info guys :D

JDM cars

Not many pictures yet, but it's not up on the front page yet so I suppose that'll come tomorrow. It has a nice tidbit though, seems like the R 35 Super GT 500 is in which makes the inclusion of the roadversion logical, not sure though fishy pr language. Great info :)

PAGE NOT FOUND

Looks like someone jumped the gun and posted tomorrow's update early. :lol

Also, the Turn 10 Blog mentions that we can expect FM.net content throughout the week, starting with the reveal tomorrow.

Can't wait. :D

hehe nice spotting :D it's great to see the R35 in the game as I am going to love playing the most definitive simulation of it on the consoles :)

I would also love if they include all the Toyota Soarers this time, as a owner I would love to tinker around with one in FM3 and see how close I can get it to being like mine :)

Excuse my ignorance. What are JDM cars?
Click to expand...

It stands for Japanese Domestic Market cars, i.e. cars that are made and sold for the Japanese market (e.g. Skyline's, Silvia's etc).

People who have imported their cars from Japan (such as myself) might refer to their vehicle as a JDM model of a specific vehicle

Ah ok. Cheers.

Now they need to announce a nice stretch of Japanese mountain to drift up and down :)

Soooo... does this news mean the Nissan GTR is in the game then?


so the game is limited to 30fps when in cockpit view. is this confirmed by the developer?
Click to expand...

They are still optimising the cockpit view, at the moment its running at an unlocked framerate, they aim to have it pinned down to 60fps by release date.

Nope. Either the framerate in the cockpit is unfinished (which i assume) or they tried to sneak this one in.

eh, Greenwalt wasn't clear about that. AFAIK he didn't confirm they were aiming for 60fps in cockpit view, he just said the framerate was lower because they used a diff lighting engine, and when asked if they were trying to get the game running at 60fps in cockpit view Dan just answered something like " let's wait till final release and see "

Jesus fucking christ, I just cannot get over how this looks loads better than Forza 2. It's really just as big as a difference as the difference between black and white. My God. It's honestly pretty much on par with all the new racing games coming out at the end of this year.

It was exactly the same with Forza 2 and I just cannot wait to get my hands on this game. I am a huge car fan and this aint car porn, like Gran Turismo, it's real, hot, sweaty car sex right there.

Thanks Turn10, for making me dying in impatience for the coming months ;)

Those are some fantastic-looking screens. Suzuka looks excellent. It really does put Forza 2 to shame visually, to the extent that it's hard to believe we're still in the same console generation.

Nice variety in this reveal as well, everything from econo-hatches to GT racecars.

Having the Super GT R35s doesn't necessarily guarantee the street car is in the game, but it's promising.

NICE!!! :D the JDM cars look amazing!!! as does the new iteration of Suzuka, EVERYTHING in this game is looking to be definitive, the graphics, physics, cars, tracks, online, customizing, tuning, features Turn 10 keeps on impressing :D

This has to be the biggest leap in ANY sequel this generation!
