As for those that are actually interested in Forza 3, what version are you going to pick up: the standard or limited Edition?

  • Forza Motorsport 2GB USB Storage and keychain:  Show off your Forza pride with these specially branded items.
  • Forza Motorsport VIP Membership* and Exclusive Car Pack*: Want
    to be a top painter, tuner, driver or just more active in the
    community? VIP membership is the way to get yourself noticed. Includes
    special treatment within the online Auction House, Community Storefront

I'm going with the standard edition. That extra content just doesn't seem to be worth an additional $20.

 

I'll probably do what I did with Forza 2 and get the Limited Edition.

Not a racing game fan. Those car models are great though. Grass is bad.

If you are standing still, looking at grass textures on the curb on a racing game, you are doing it horribly, horribly wrong.

That's all racing games are good for.

Yep, not even a smiley. They suck.

The same could be said about a "game" where all you do is swim around watching fish. To each his own, I guess.

Let's all celebrate with my Forza Motorsport review...

I have given up all hope on you.

Well that was much faster than Forza's gameplay

Excitebots is waiting for you. Enjoy!


I'm probably getting the regular edition, but I definitely need to pick up a steering wheel. My only concern is the flimsy appearance of the 360 wheel.

According to the IGN Q&A with Turn 10, they are partnering with Fanatec in order to make a new wheel for Forza 3:

-------------------------------------

IGN AU/IGN Readers: What do you think of the Microsoft Wireless Racing Wheel? One of our readers commented that he thinks the PS3 has better wheel options.

John Wendl:
Well, there's a new wheel that we're introducing with Forza 3, and that's in partnership with Fanatec that makes the Porsche branded wheel. It's a premium wheel; it has 900 degree support, it has an H pattern shifter, a clutch pedal, and we have clutch control in the game as well, it has really high quality force feedback. In Forza – unlike other games – we separate force feedback and rumble. Typically, the physics simulators try to do everything through force feedback, and it doesn't work.

What we do is we simulate torque alignment on the front wheels, like when you're drifting or sliding, the front wheels want to track in a straight line, and we simulate the torque alignment with the force feedback of the wheel. We simulate traction with rumble, so when the rear wheels are breaking loose and starting to vibrate and scrub, we simulate that with rumble so you can feel traction with the rumble and torque alignment of the front wheel with feedback and it gives you a little bit better an experience to predict where the car is and how to catch it and that kind of thing. And that combined with the new Fanatec wheel, I think is pretty cool.

-------------------------------------

I don't know much about these Fanatec wheels, other than they are usually quite expensive, so it may be of higher quality than Microsoft's wheel.

 I was only joking. But there is some truth to every joke. 

The only reason I drive is to stare at grass. Nyaa
