why wont the f3 site load for me? all i get is forza 2 and a half loaded f3 page when i go to one of the links (like the forums)
 
The cars look fantastic! The only thing that's remotely under par here is the texture work on the roads, but that won't matter when you're whizzing by it so it's a great trade off for cars and cockpits like that!!

Between GT5, Dirt 2, etc. all these car games are becoming one big mess of awesome.

What ever happened to chespace's "but cockpit view are too demanding!"? :p

Forza 3 is looking real good. The lightning reminds me a lot of GT5P.
 
Two more. I seriously can't wait. Che tell the team us Forza heads are hyped.

1) THANK YOU FOR MY JAGGY FREE FORZA ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE!

2) I know the physics are there (or better!) but the game looked a bit floaty during the demonstration. Am I crazy? Just me?

3) Didn't really get to see the new livery editor in action...

4) HOLY SHIT COCKPIT VIEW

5) FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

God damn that looks amazing. I never thought the 360 could rival that other series in the graphics department, but it looks like it might be a contender.

GOOD FOR US GUYS!

Man track detail is amazing! That rocky track looks awesome to drive. Elevation changes ftw.
Car models and lighting are still not on par with GT but, great nonetheless.
:D

EDITED AGAIN: Removing the GT5 comment, suffice to say i'm UTTERLY IMPRESSED if that's what we can expect ingame (minus that amount of AA, obviously).
I was not expecting a leap half this big in such a short time. FM3 skyrocketed to number one of my most wanted list.

:lol yeah I was waiting for someone to finally bring up Gran Turismo.

Game looks good, but something just seems off, might look better in video than in screenshots.

Wow, the environements look really nice. Che, is there a download link to all the videos you guys have at the main site?

They brought it up enough on stage. :lol

Game looks great, can't wait to check it out.
 
Che, did you guys remodel the cars? The cars in the shots shown are almost definitely not using the same models as F2. They look WAYYY higher poly and higher quality. And does the rolling apply to all cars, or just certain classes of cars?

Man, I can't tell you how freaking pumped I was when I saw how it looked, then how much more pumped i got when it pulled the view in the cockpit, then how even MORE pumped I got when the car started rolling.

Anyone saw btw, Alfa's in there :D 8C atleast. Only need the new GT-R and i'm satisfied. I also wonder what 50 tracks mean ;p and the track shown looks like a point to point that would be sweet.

Looks awesome. I just hope there are more varied and less restricted events in 3. It felt like I was forced to use cars I didn't want to too much in Forza 2.

Tons of cars -- CHECK
60 fps -- CHECK
Beautifulism -- CHECK
Cockpit view -- CHECK
Everything great Forza 2 was -- CHECK


Polyphony better fasten their seatbelt because the race is on and they DON'T have the headstart.

This was one of the more impressive showings. I loved the environment detail, something that is often lacking in sim racing games.

ok, i've seen the trailer.
I think i've seen a couple framerate hiccups here and there, so that means it's genuine replay footage edited together ?

if so i'd like to virtually shake hands with the guys at Turn 10. I didn't think that was possible.

Forza 2 + more race modes + cars + tracks + replay editor + cockpit view + improved physics + cars flipping + those graphics...wow. i'm in awe.
i don't think anything will top this as game of the show for me.

I have all three videos on constant loop. I like the music in the first trailer ;-)

To the people mentioning "floaty cars", I'm guessing that video was using cars with drift settings. Controls are the least of my worries with this game.

Those are clearly industry standard bullshots (I know the actual game will still look great tho).

When they were in the cockpit during the demo I didn't see any jaggies.

It's not actually trolling if you don't admit it

Uh, no. Straight photomode ingame shots with no touchups.
 
Easily my highlight of the show. PD has seriously gotta pull something out of their arse now. Delayed till 2000 and never confimed

that third vid with the white audi and the crash at the end cant be real time can it? notice it doesnt say its real time like the first one
 
If they can pull off cars crashing, racing physics, and those insane reflections at 60 fps I'll be amazed (and thrilled).

I realy want to learn what they have instore for the online portion of the game.

I would hope photomode didn't need touchups.
Physics seemed ridiculous, cars bouncing around like mario kart.
Anyways, everyone, continue with your masterbating.

They talked so highly of this game during the press conference "Best racer EVAR" but honestly I wasn't impressed. It's Forza, meh

Lol they are always thinking of Gran Turismo, it looked good though.
