Meh, I don't know, it feels really dull to me heh. I just like to have a cockpit view in racing games, so I can see all the gagues working, gears being changed etc. Plus I much prefer Ridge Racer 6 :lol: Sure may not be realistic, but I can feel as though I am going as fast as my music in stunning visuals. Same goes for ITC.

FORZA 3 has SUV's in it now... possibly taking some ideas from the older NFS games like NFSU2?

I really dont like this game, as for ive never ever played an Xbox game i liked, just seems o be a shitty platform, bad accesories, bad games, dunno how this one will be, but last time i played forza 1, i was gonna break the demo machine in the store so no one else would suffer.

Lol, i love the forza series. I was a huge Gran Turismo Fanboy until i played 2, the game is astounding in my opinion. Forza 3 can only be better.

If you want to try another hardcore sim, you can try iracing, which some ppl claim is better than LFS. but the monthly fee is stupit.

Just another interview video, similar to the last one. However they cover a few other small details that were missed in the one above.

Go on the official website, download the demo (its only a couple of MB i think.) and then crack it, what i do. Wipes the floor with LFS imho.

Rfactor looks pretty good graphic wise. I'm not even going to attempt to set it up on my old computer though. either it wont work at all or massive slowdown.

I might try Rfacotr lite and the oversteer mod, apparently Rfactor Lite with the Oversteer mod (more cars and tracks, doesnt change the physics) is all yuo need to have fun for years lol.

honestly, I DO like forza 3. It's got the best physics I ever experienced in a racing game.
it's got a couple of flaws, sure (like the "genuine" idea of having a pack of 8 race cars racing on a touge at the same time, try making it through without being rammed like crazy), but the game is awesome. I think my favorite part is that even the slowest cars have some sense of speed to them, which is a first for me in a simulation.
But yeah, it can't replace TXRD2 though

i'm sure that if i got forza 3 and a decent force feedback wheel, i'll like it. Playing online, nice car customization, some nice courses, atleast reasonable physics(i know it's not terrible and even hard core sim racers have said it feels good). Xbox needs a reasonable force feedback wheel that doesn't suck up batteries like all wireless things though. and it'll be awhile till i feel like spending so much for one

probably not as much as TXRD2, since only C1GP seems like it might be able to rival that for my favorite(still waiting for that in the mail). TXRD3 will probably be the only thing that could replace TXRD2, unless someone else makes a really good touge game, which is unlikely.
