Anyway, after seeing Le Mans in action I got more excited. I honestly believe that when FM3 releases it may be the best looking driving game ever made. Some of the scenes of Circuit de la Sarthe look photorealistic. On the other hand, I'm very disappointed. My biggest problem is that all of the prototypes announced for FM3 were in previous Forza games. They might have added a few new liveries, but they're essentially the same cars. Where's the Audi R15 and the Lola-Aston Martin? The newest car in that list is from 2007. Come on Turn 10, I know you can do better than that. Plus, IF the 24 Hours of Le Mans is going to be in the game, it's going to be pretty boring with only eight cars on track. Gran Turismo 4 proved that you can't run only six cars on a circuit that big. |

The Forza 2 car list hasnt been announced yet, i doubt they would just put in those prototypes, especially now that they have the le mans license, in effect they could add in Pescarolo, Oreca, Lola's, Zytek's, RS Spyder's etc etc, wether they do is up to them but i wont be happy if we dont get any new P1 or P2 cars for that matter, at the moment, it looks like nothing more than Forza 2 in a pretty looking dress until more info is released.

Forza Motorsport 3
Well there is a 3rd Forza Motorsport game being developed, for the Xbox 360, and recently read the LeMans circuit is going to be included in the game. I also saw some screenshots, and came across these:
Now if only we could actually see these cars all at once on track, competing for the win........(salivates)...... Link to rest of screenshots: http://xbox.boomtown.net/en_uk/artic...w.php?id=18122 |

For some reason they think 908 is a middle-seated car?! (The cockpit cam is in the middle) ps. La Sarthe in iRacing would be something... |

But just imagine all those cars on track at once! How AWESOME would that be? I wonder what the Toyota GT1 with today's tech in it could do......Peogeot would probably still beat them all.

Ok, It seems the second Forza Motorsport 3 thread got out of hand. All the posts related to Forza 3 have been moved to this thread. All those non-specific posts (most of them!) have been moved to an existing PC vs Consoles thread.
One or two posts pointing out the issues with the old thread have been removed as they would now be out of context. Please can we try and keep threads on-topic. |

too true. I'm liking the Japanese announcement, and it'll be good to experience Motegi without DLC.

Yeah and the new R35 GTR and SC430 GT500 racers will be in the game, that's awesome!! Cause FM2 didnt even have the GT500 Z and that came out after Gran Turismo 4 which had the Z in it! I've got both anyway so best of both worlds! Good to see some up to date cars in the mix.

I hope the car paint mode has been simplified a bit, It's incredible what people managed with Forza 2 (I just bought a very nice recreation of the Pescarolo 908 complete with Gran Turismo logos!!) I never got the hang of it though.
I was hoping (probably in vain) that you might be able to download a template which could be edited in photoshop like Rfactor, but I suppose that's either not technically possible or not available because people would put rude photos on their car and frighten the children!! Having dug out Forza 2 this week after not playing it for a few months it reminded me what a great game it is and has me counting the days till Forza 3 is released. Just can't wait to try the LMP cars on the Le Mans circuit. Day/night would be nice and I really hope they include that. Also, for a bit more authenticity, I'd like to see flaming and popping exhausts and hear the Toyota GT1 crackling under heavy braking!! |

ditto, i would love backfire sounds and flames, would be great to hear the TS020 crackle and pop on the over run, same with the GT2 Ferrari's and some of the road car's, for those of you who have heard the MK.4 Golf R32 with a milltek exhaust and decat, the backfire on that is pretty bloody wicked, probably the best sound this side of a £100,000on a car.
FM2 is still the business though, FM3 has a lot to live up to but im sure it will deliver, hopefully we can paint the race cars now and not just the 908 Pug, i would love to make an Oreca Audi R8, Kolles R10, Charouz Racing liveried Bentley or 962 and i would spend an age painting GT2 Ferrari's and Porsche's, and even longer on the 550 Maranello GT1's and the DBR9 if its in the game! also hope we get some more tracks, motegi was a huge disappointment, rubbish track, hopefully we get Monza, Spa, Nurburgring GP, Donington Park, Fuji, Zolder, you get the picture, must say, i really am looking forward to this, it will definetely give GT5 one hell of a run for its money! |

I'm fairly sure I read somewhere that all cars including race cars will be paintable which would be fantastic!!
One point relating to Le Mans, I understand that there will be 3 versions, modern, Bugatti and no chicanes. I'd love the no chicane version to be faithful to the period that it was last used and more than just the modern version with the barriers removed as in GT4. I suspect I am likely to be dissapointed on that front!! With regards to the tracks, it would be nice if future DLC could be incorporated into existing championships as I've hardly played on any of the Forza2 addon tracks. I don't tend to play online so the ability to make your own championship which counts toward your level would be cool. That way I can cut out the tracks and cars that i don't like!!! |

Forza 2 is still at the fore front of Xbox Live clan league racing, I dont think there is anything that matches Forza for creativety and potential for weird and wonderful rule sets. On Sunday il be doing the first round of TORA's (In Autosport and mentioned on Radio Le Mans a few times, I was there way before they appeared in those anyway ) Le Mans Series at Sebring, racing in GT2, and the competitiveness is just astounding.
Forza has a great community, and if it wasn't for them I would still be at my previous PS2 Gran Turismo 4 skill, which was, put lots of power in the car and try and barge people out of the way :P |

Forza 2 online is still the daddy, ive had some fantastic duels with people on here, the touring cars at PI 700 or something like that were pretty bloody epic, but im a sucker for the GT2 style machinery at PI 950 or something, my F430 is quite frankly the dog's danglies in BMS Scuderia Italia colours from 2008, hopefully they keep the same kind of system for Forza 3, it worked brilliantly in Forza 2 and imo its the thing that should NOT be changed along with the car painting and modifications.
On the front of Forza 3, has there been any indication as to what ACO Prototypes and GT cars there will be? i know they released a few details about Proto's but nothing new there, i just cant help but thinking were going to see the RS Spyder's, Acura's and possibly even the Lola Coupe's this time round and even the Oreca's, if they include the like's of the Lola coupe's and Oreca's, Pesca's etc, wouldnt it be the business if you could put the different proto engine's in them, say a 4.0 twin turbo AER, or a Judd V10, AM 6.0 V12 or the smaller P2 lumps, Judd DB V8, AER Mazda 2.0 turbo, Zytek etc and then paint them and run them in the 24 hours of le mans? now turn 10 should read that, id have dibs on a Zytek engined Lola coupe in Repsol or Jagermeister colours |

Acura LMP1 confirmed in official update!
Apparently it will appear in both De Ferran Motorpsorts and Highcroft Patron livery so I can pretend to be Brabs!! |

I could be wrong but I read it as the de Ferran livery will be in the game but you could paint the car as the highcroft livery. I doubt they would be able to put the actual patron livery in from the start due to the patron sponsorship. Still though, I'm sure plenty of people will create that livery in the paint booth and then sell it in the auction house. Great to see that car in the game though.

No its exclusive to Xbox 360 just in the same way as Gran Turismo is exclusive to Sony.

well my wishes for forza have been granted, its official, all racing car's are paintable including the LMP's, GT's so im definetely going to plop some lovely paintschemes on the Acura ARX02 and the Ferrari F430 GT2, we have le mans in the game and likely more yet to be revealed tracks, only thing im skeptical about is the release date, i cant see it coming out in October, im more thinking a christmas release but here's hoping it does come out on time, i cant wait to get my hands on the Acura, hopefully the Zytek is in there as well.
