I'm sure there would be if MS and Logitech could play nice. Can't see that happening though.saladine1 said:
Heared it mentioned in the latest Listen UP podcast (7/24/09) (around the 53/55 minutes). They say it is from MS and supposedly will be released with/same time as Forza 3, but never heard/read anything about it before this podcast.chico said:

Sweet write-up.VVV Mars VG said:
No ABS in FM1 was damn near unusable, FM2 was much better, but not perfect, and FM3 sounds like another step forward. Great news indeed.VVV Mars VG said:
With all the talk of rewritten physics, I was of course hoping for it to feel better, but I was also hoping for it to feel new and fresh. FM2 felt instantly recognizable as the sequel to FM1. That's not a bad thing, but four years later I'm looking for something that truly feels different this time around.VVV Mars VG said:
Anyway, I'm always excited to hear actual enthusiasts of the genre talk physics. There's a level of credibility that you sadly just don't get from the mainstream gaming press. Hopefully we'll see more enthusiast sites get press invites for FM3.

The game does feel different to me and I've been playing the series since FM1.
It is probably the addition/improvements made in tire physics, and the visceral immersion of cockpit view where the camera will pitch/shake/move based on G's and lateral forces.
I only play in cockpit view nowadays.

How did the ingame graphics compare to the photo mode shots we normally get?
Was cockpit mode still 30fps?
Great impressions btw. Nice to see the handling improved even more.

Maybe Che can shine some light on it, or post some pics :lol

I'm curious about this too. I was wondering the MS wheel is worth the money, or spending extra money to get one of the Fanatec ones. hm.

Thinking back to what the Inside Sim Racing guys had to say about it at E3, and now what VVV Mars VG just wrote up, I'd say whatever it is, it's successful at feeling like a fresh driving experience. That excites me as much, if not more than any back of the box feature set.chespace said:The game does feel different to me and I've been playing the series since FM1.

Is there a need for replay mode to be 60fps?

In Photomode, anyway. Real-time gameplay has some aliasing, but big whoop, so does every other 60 fps console game. I don't think you're going to be worrying about a few lines while you're slinging around corners and pacing past beautifully modeled cars.LordPhoque said:

I don't really understand that. I watch TV broadcasts at 30fps and I can watch racing replays on that just fine.RussTK said:
Oh and Che... make my dream come true and tell me there's going to be an update dedicated to the crappiest old cars you guys can find! :lol

I can honestly say that watching a TV replay in 60fps wouldn't make the slightest difference whatsoever to me. I care about it in games simply because I'm controlling the action (and only when I'm controlling the action).

30fps replay is perfectly fine to me, I like added blur too for that eye candy effect.

What are you talking about? The VTS serie from Citroen is awesome..
But hey I am biased, I drive a Saxo VTS, more fun than the C2 VTS by the way.
To bad the Saxo VTS 16V, 120 horses isn't in the game, tuned it's dynamite.
Not that this is a C2...
The Renault RS serie is also cool.
Somebody mentioned a "Track Day" mode. What exactly would that entail?
I would be interested in a "Racing School" mode. You might have a "classroom" session/tutorial where you learn about apexes and stuff. Then you could "walk the track". Maybe that part would be a slow flyover with a voice-over, or something. You probably wouldn't need to have anything like an in-car instructor, since the racing line thingie takes care of a lot of that. But I suppose you could do some no-passing sessions at enforced lower speeds. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. That sort of thing.
I know, I know.... WRONG!
I like that in-car shot, above. Nice and zoomed in.
