Sorry mate, no gameplay vids yet. You'll get tons of them when we give preview builds to the press I'm sure.

I'm curious, what other behind the scenes stuff have we been doing that you're so sick of? So far, we've only done this one E3 video and release a bunch of new screens between E3, Le Mans, and now these Japanese cars.

As for a Le Mans travel diary, yup... coming up hopefully next week. :D

Those shots around the tire area and other fine details give off a computer generated look to them. An unnatural view of the tire around the rim is too finite. It's a little peev and a clear distinction when in comparison to that other game.

I've noticed this in quite a few of those new shots. A clear and present "rendered" look. its not bad but also in some cases in dosnt srping a natural and realistic look to the cars.

I've noticed that as well.
It looks well out of place for some reason, kinda reminds me of FM1/2...

I have no fucking clue what you're talking about - And I don't want to know :lol

..Nothing wrong with your post though. I guess what I'm just saying that it reminds me how far these games have come since I had my first experience with "3D" car games at home:

Night Driver on the Atari 2600 (Video Here)

And arguably my favorite racing game of all time:

Formula 1 Grand Prix aka World Circuit on the Amiga
(Even though it could barely keep 5fps :lol (Video Here)

just saw this in the UK Bargins thread, it would have happy spent it if it worked with Forza 3 and 360 :(

Oh man...If only it worked on 360 as well.

Anyone know if their next wheel will work with the 360?

at first glance I thought that was Nigel Mansell's World Championship on SNES http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RxrHFjb5Sw&feature=related . I loved that game!

totally agree with your post by the way :D

Watching the gamersyde 720p trailer of the gameplay of driving from 1st/3rd person in the Lambo made me very concerned.

Why is there not the slightest bumbing from the track? It looks like the cars are cruising on ice, perfectly smooth.

If you are going to do cockpit view I want some occasional/however slight camera shake.

No, not really, but a little visual example of how Forza can look...

Yeah, not cool.

After seeing those on the FM.net forums, it's disappointing that we probably won't be getting weather, which would be nice, but something I could manage without. Varying times of day and night racing really could keep things fresh, though. If I'm not mistaken, all of the tracks we've seen up until now have been smack-dab in the middle of the afternoon. There's plenty that we haven't seen, though, so there's room for some surprises yet.

Still, that's some commendable Photoshop work on Dark4ever's part. It's almost too good. :/

Damn it sure fooled me till I got to the bottom of that post :D , what great mocks! Really goes to show what weather and lighting could do to the game, sigh we'll have to wait another few years I guess.

I've been playing a lot of FM2 recently and just have to chime in and say, damn the replay camera angles are horrendous. The replays just flat out suck in FM2. I hope replays have gone through a complete upgrade like the graphics did for FM3.
