Just got back from a UK Press Xbox Play/Interview/Chat event at E3 for this and I have to say it's really a gigantic, gigantic improvement over Forza 2. Great stuff.

I was playing on the steering wheel setup (the one to the right of setup with the hydraulics system) with the 3 screens (which was badass). I know the difference between 60 and 30fps and the cockpit view runs at 30 frames pre-second, just the like the startup, car selection and replays from the demo I played. The game runs at 60fps when playing from 3rd person, 1st person and the hood perspective. The game still has months to go, so probably that will be fixed in the release.Shogmaster said:Which Forza 3 did you play? Everyone else (including myself) played the 60fps one. You should have asked for the 60fps version. They were hiding these from you.

Shogmaster said:I played in nothing but cockpit view. It was 60 fps. If anything, cockpit view is easier to render @ 60 fps, since a huge portion of the screen is covered by fairly static element, which makes your supposition rather wacky.
It's much harder to render moving scenery. They didn't do cockpit views because they didn't want to model all those interiors. Modeling with such detail = lots of work = lots of money.onemic said:Wouldn't it actually be much harder as the game has to render that rather highly detailed static element. I thought the main reason cockpit view wasn't put into racing games until recently was because they used too many resources.

Game feels great from cockpit mode.. but it doesn't seem to me that its 60fps (not saying im an expert or didn't have a bunch of alcohol in my system, but that's what I felt)
acm2000 said:so 30fps with motion blur in cockpit, 60fps everywhere else? i could live with that, if the cockpit has the same atmosphere that GRiD portrays, would prefer all 60fps with motion blur tho
we need che to confirm
eso76 said:i'm not sure who spread this rumor but judging by the videos (i know they are encoded at 30 fps but you still see a difference...60fps content encoded at 30fps retains omitted frames in the form of motion blur) there's absolutely no difference when the visual switches. It could still be 30fps + motion blur, but there's absolutely no reason why rendering a cockpit would be more demanding than rendering the whole car in front of you. Maybe someone just saw a replay (which is pretty much guaranteed to run at 30fps+motion blur) through cockpit camera and thought that was ingame.
I'm surprised they have that many cars to choose from on the showfloor, since we had only seen the Audi R8 cockpit i assumed it was the only fully modeled car they had at this time, which is what made me doubt the october release.
btw, I need more videos.
MORE MORE MORE

Yay ! replays have improved tenfolds (like everything else, apparently)
(the audi R8 closeups at the end of the video: Drool
if it wasn't for a hint of tearing at the beginning i'd say it's prerendered stuff, holy shit at the interiors)
God damn it looks good when he pauses it and pans around the car.eso76 said:how to roll your car offscreen vid from ign !

Falagard said:Ya, a few people have mentioned it. I agree - it was a well played deception.
RSTEIN said:I would say that most people here on the forum knew about 90% of the stuff revealed at the conferences. I was genuinely shocked when the view switched to cockpit during the stage video. I think I may have done a fist pump. Well played, Che. Well played.

acm2000 said:the only thing boring was the lack of tracks, needed more, and the fact that its campaign progression was as retarded and grinding as GTs
I'm sure he'll be happy to confirm that the game, and it's brand new graphics engine is in an unfinished state.acm2000 said:so 30fps with motion blur in cockpit, 60fps everywhere else? i could live with that, if the cockpit has the same atmosphere that GRiD portrays, would prefer all 60fps with motion blur tho

You don't, the left and right sides are other 360's synced with the main box, you need 3 consoles and 3 copies of the game.jonah777 said:How exactly would you get this to work from one Xbox?
h3ro said:It doesn't. You need three 360s connected via system link and three copies of the game.

This is so awesome, thanks! exporting replays to WMV is omg perfect, thank you turn 10!RSTEIN said:http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6211099/
Great sit down chat with Che & the boss man + lots of ingame stuff.
pedrothelion said:I am a bit disappointed about the way they're describing the online multi-player. It basically sounds like what they've done with the first two Forza games in that all ranked games are essentially rooms created by other players.
