forza motorsport 3 ** Forza 3 Demo - First Impressions **

[iLLGT3]

Tell me what you think of the FM3 demo.

 

For me, I like it, has a nice feel and I love the clutch.

 

There's a few bugs but it'll all be sorted out. :D

Yeh i like it too :D Can't wait till the game is released!

[Brad_F430]

wem i will be buying it, but on the graphics side of the game, it seems too cartoony imo, i know most wil disagree but something about it just reminds me of a good graphic version of outrun, and when you roll over your car its not very good either. shame theres no driting on the demo too

[T1M]

AMAZING! I love the demo, cant wait for the full thing!

 

Stunning graphics and detail. :D

[Impala SS]

Yep..

FM3 demo is really good^^

[t.]

Took 10 minutes to download. Took 10 minutes to get bored. Don't get me wrong, I like it. Just saying.

Forza won't have drift physics like NFS, it will be the same physics no matter what. So take the Ferrari and get practicing. It's not hard..

 

If you go into the hotlap mode, (press Y instead of A at the track selection screen) there will be unlimited laps and no traffic. Press left on the D-Pad to turn the drift scoring on. :)

 

Hope it makes sense. :)

[TimBud]

Its not a real time killer, but it is really good fun.

Gets me even more psyched for the full game.

[Car Freak]

Slightly disappointed with this really. Seems that they've made it more forgiving than Forza 2. The cars grip harder and longer before oversteering. Feels weird though, like, grip-grip-grip-grip-whoa!-slide. Just not as progressive as Forza 2. It's kinda like the diff between PGR 3 and 4 really... Physics wise I think I prefer Forza 2, but 3 does look a lot nicer

Thanks for that, I hadn't realised you could hotlap. I'll give it a go later.

 

I would +rep but I know you're not fond of that. Would you like some -rep instead?

[Who]

the hotlapping is great.

 

i think i like the physics, i went back to FM2 and realised how much it is like driving on ice. seeing the challenger drive properly in front of you in the mini is something amazing, never happens in F2 :lol:

 

also, no drifting my arse!

 

[Eudemon]

Of course there's drifting, the 9 year olds need something to do and the 15 year olds need their Initial-D nonsense.

 

Drifting has killed the racing game.

At the video Who/Frothy Biscuits posted.

 

300ZX <3 Interior looks great too.

[Brad_F430]

ok seeing that vid makes me want the game now :D and i realised that its the redness of the ferrari on the demo that makes it look cartoony

[iBilo]

Personally the graphics are brilliant, but the physics of the game are simply like NFS. They turned the game from simulation to wannabe racing arcade with the graphics to pull you in.

 

I'm not buying this game when it comes out.

I think everyone is just used to the dancing on ice nature of FM2. In the demo, when you look at the speedo you often realise you're not actually going very fast at all (80mph on the uphill in the Evo X after the big sweeper corner) so it's normal for the car to be pretty tame, however pusing the limit is pretty testing, and i think the physics are improved form 2 when going back now.

I haven't gotten the chance to try it yet, but FM2 is like driving on ice. If you understeer or oversteer...it seems too gradual....

[Car Freak]

That video looks utterly , but if there's one gripe i have about it, it's that the cars look very unnatural when they do the left-right transition in the drifts

[superhyper]

The demo is unbeliavable! I admit that 5 cars and 1 track isn't much but when I saw the car and enviroment details I couldn't stop drooling :D IT LOOKS AMAZING even though my TV is piece of.....!

[Brad_F430]

i love the handling, seems to be more realistic, even though ive never been behind the wheel of a car, i see no resemblence with nfs

[Tool831]

However they are not.. I think you have been playing NFS:Shift too much.. :lol:

----------

 

About that.. Thats actually what I have noticed. Alot of people who played NFS Shift then downloaded the Forza 3 demo are saying forza 3 is all of a sudden arcade. Which makes me :facepalm: alot, then people use the excuse of saying "Seeing they have added new driving aids etc and rewind its no longer a sim" Thats just pure crap. Its just a feature so anyone can jump in and play, a 65 year old cannot play Race pro cause it would just cause problems or even 10 year olds in most cases, its there for other people who want to use it if you don't like it don't use it. :)

 

Specially when people use a Ferrari California and say it doesn't feel like it, c'mon who has driven a California then Forza 3 here.. That is actually on the forum. No one. (Well no one that can prove it)

 

I felt like saying that finally so im am glad i let that out. So -rep if you want couldn't care less. :bananahello:

(I've also had to use a smiliey just so i don't seem like a arse)

[Nipper]

(80mph on the uphill in the Evo X after the big sweeper corner)

 

Pardon WHAT!?!?

 

I come out of that sweeper with a good 85mph, probably nearer to 90mph but never look at the speedo at that speed. :p

 

If you mean the long uphill straight, you should be pushing close to 100mph.. 90mph in the Mini. :p

 

You're slooow! :D

 

ps. I went on a Mini adventure and your time is history Dodges. :) Try again. :)

 

I would +rep but I know you're not fond of that. Would you like some -rep instead?

 

-rep will do. :P

 

:dontcare:

[gingervette]

I quite love it. The graphics are simply flawless. The handleing is only slightly more arcade than the previous Forza however I quite like the handeling change. Makes you feel like yoiur going faster than you really are.

I'm not sure on the damage engine. Perhaps I haven't wrecked the car severely enough but the damage looks pretty poor to me. I hit the wall in my R8 going about 90 and it gets slightly dented whilst looking like someone has drenched the car in paint stripper. : /

But remember that the cars are meant to be driven,not to be crashed,right? ;)
