And you might note that Forza will have 500+ cars. All "Premium". But for Forza they aren't really "Premium" they're just normal. They didn't pack the game with cars from the last gen.
It does. And some of your Forza 3 data is importable.
Why not? Business is business, and as they say "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen".
According to the previewers, that will all be changing in about 6 weeks.
And agreeing with iistuii; I've been around the Nordschliess many times in small sports cars and an american muscle car, I spent ten years driving in hill climbs and time rallies, and NONE of these games have it exactly right. They are getting better, but they all have far to go.
They were driving the Kia Cee'd. The "Star in a resonably priced car" car. The one that the good drivers only manage in the low 1:40s.
I like the comments from the BBC fellow. Especially how he mentions that the BBC went to Turn 10, rather than the other way around.
The guy from the automotive site is biased against the PS3. Yeaaaaah.... that's the ticket. I'm sure of it.
Appearently, someone would rather hear the opinion of a twelve year old. Thankfully, the police tend to keep an eye out for that kind.
In the mean time, it is now being reported by BBC employees that the Beeb approached Turn 10 to include Top Gear, not the other way around.

The thing I like about this preview is it is from a car site, not a game site. That's what I want to read about. What do auto enthusiasts think of the game. Not Johnny Gamer reporting from mom's basement.
And now it comes out that the BBC approached Turn 10 to include Top Gear, not the other way around.

So I guess maybe they were disappointed with the way their previous partner handled things.
They have that as well, for another couple of hundred bucks.
Just a normal savings from a couple of paychecks. But I find it hard to justify that kind of outlay for a game (or games). Maybe I'm wrong (feel free to convince me), but I think someone who would buy this has some rather squirrelly priorities. I could justify $200 to $300 dollars for a high end Logitech, Thrustmaster or the new Mad Catz wheel, but I just can't see this.
This is not to detract from what you said, Sony probably did push Polyphony to get the game out too soon. But, that still begs the question (and it really is a question) what the hell was Polyphony doing for 5 plus years that they finished with what they did. Dear lord, with their talent and previous experience they should have produced something that looked like a live race televised in HD. Instead they get a game that is marginally better than F3 in some ways, and noticeably worse in othe...
One thing that is of interest is that the BBC has thrown it's whole hearted support in to it's licensing with Turn 10. A multi-year contract that allows the use of their brand, their facilities and the talents of one of their hosts seems to give a bit of evidence as to where they place their faith when it comes to partnering. So maybe the GT franchise was there first. But who has it now, and better? And, you see, that is the key with much of this. First may be first, but better u...
The more people that preview this thing , the better it sounds. It is going to be absolutely mind boggling! I'll definitely not be bored this winter.
Another great write up. The people in the business seem to have lost their blinders and taken a good, hard look at the series.
Oh, yeah. I forgot. They've all been bought off by Microsoft.
Please, please, please, people. Don't feed the trolls.
Uhh... that's moot, not mute.
It's been a good week.
Wouldn't know where to look on a Ferrari site and I dont read Italian. Why don't you google some news sites. Or read the interview with Greenawalt where he explains what happened with EA.
MS has held the Ferrari license for several years (at least since Forza 2) and sublicensed to other publishers. They weren't trying to lock anyone else out, they just wanted to make sure they weren't locked out by some one like EA.
