Yep, totally agree the same goes with Borderlands which is released on the same day as Forza 3 here in Australia, bloody stupid if you ask me.
Sure, different genre, but gamers only have so much $$ at the end of the day (figuratively speaking)
The sales of this on PS3 have soared, due mainly because most westerners now have no idea when GT5 will be released - other than "some time after Japan, which is "sometime in March 2010" So I'd be looking at any...
I'd prefer one of these to a japanese car anyday. The current run of European small cars is amazing, and having these in Forza 3 with the ability to create something amazing like this is just first class.
I love the look of the ones at the Motorshow and especially the race tuned GT24 that is in the images.
You just have to love the inventive minds of some individuals . . without which we simply would not have such beasts.
Check the girls out when they roll (err-umm float) past a bevy or beach-babs one Sunday . .they loved it.
Now if games like Forza 3 or GT5 etc etc could introduce customization like this, well, we wouldn't have to leave the house . .now would we.
Oh wait, many gamers don't already - silly me.
Well Australia is well known for its lovely beaches, beautiful mermaids and sun-seekers from all over the country. One needs only to check out Bondi beach on a warm, let alone hot day to see what I mean. ( http://good-times.webshots....
But it was great to see so many woman there all soaking up the games (as well as the amply powerful "Assassin's Elixer" that was on offer. Lots of Vodk...
Mate, you will not be disappointed, if you are, I'll buy your copy off you, (no - not kidding!)
I played a segment of it the last time Ubi AUst showed it off to the Retail chains here in Australia a few months ago. (unofficially of course as it was on for demo (hands-off) purposes only on the night.
BUt knowing the Ubi official helped and he allowed me some moments with it. Seeing how it is now, you can see changes even in the last few months, and the game is unlike...
True . . . and who ever said Aussie girls only like the beach (well, they do, but anyway) as there were heaps there on the night, and they certainly were nice on the eye and lovely to chat with.
The girls from the PR company were great, and really do know how to do their job and make everything run smoothly.
Great night, loved the 3D Avatar game, bloody fantastic, and the Assassin's Creed 2 movie - wow.
Th elist is extensive, and with moe DLC coming, the 400 cars touted will increase to around 500 or more over time.
I'd rather 400 - 500 cars than 1000 of every car made (well not really, but you know what I mean)
Disclaimer, both GT5 and Forza 3 will be excellent games for those who follow them, without exception. I'll have both, will you??
I love the fact that Dodge supply a race-ready Dodge Viper GT2 Viper Competition Coupe, and the asking price of $US140k is not all that bad considering what you get for it actually, Turn-key, ready to roll and run on the track.
Just the starting point any real racer would want.
We've just published our daily news, this time including the #11 Primetime GT2 Dodge Viper Competition Coupe - R3 Class vehicle. ( http://oxcgn.com/2009/10/07...
Yes, you are right, the huge community within Forza, is something many other titles do not have. Even today, Forza 2 still has in excess of 2 million active players and members online . . .
<...
I'm doing a comparison between forza 2 and forza 3, an unbiased one, as opposed to those that 'say' they are, when in fact they are not.
Will hopefully be able to capture both game footage and play them back to back . .which should be interesting.
Interesting what Greenwalt say though about the game overall . . . . . and yes, the thumbs up is from a recent video.
You and me both, they seem to be just pumping them out like cakes . . . they'll do one for just about every major band or musical event or tour I think.
Since the Kurt Coban issue, I've lost any hope of trust in the section of EA that works with Neversoft.
Whereas Rock Band is something a great deal different, and actually seems to take the bands they do seriously, rather than a free ride to make money.
When you take a look at them now, especially after seeing that shot showing the front suspension exposed and being tuned, you realise just how small they really are. Even somewhat smaller than F1's and about the same size as "Karts".
Lola is one of the best loved racing breeds amongst the racing fraternity, and their units have been powered by just about every vehicle manufacture . . We're doing the next installment today which is the McLaren F1 GTR, as opposed to the F...
We are pushing to gethold of it asap, but what we have done, is secure a Forza 3 playdate on the day of the games launch, so that anyone wanting to play online live can do so in a friendly environment.
Details of that will be coming out soon, we only just got the go-ahead for that yesterday, about 18 hours ago actually. We're trying tpo get the game early as, so we can design an OXCGN/Fantec Livery for the OXCGN team to use on the night, again, we haven't heard back from MS yet, ...
This is what happens when not only retail outlets, but also gamers place extremely high expectations on games, and almost demand that everyone one of them be a AAA block buster, or they are not interested.
It puts a holt to any hope of smaller developers even making in-roads into the world of gaming.
Gamers especially expect even greater things from every game that is released. If it doesn't have a Multiplayer aspect, it's almost forgetten about before it even has be...
The funny thing with these R1 class cars is, they look so god-damn big on the track and in pics, yet when you rae next to one, or see them compared to a a mechanic, such as in the article with the guy tuning the front suspension, you realise just how 'small' these things are.
The Lola's are the smallest, lightest of all the R1 series in their class, which is why many teams use the Lola body/chassis combinations when setting up their racing rigs.
We hope to get the Fa...
Interesting read actually, especially about how many said it could not be done on the 360, which he proved that it could . .nice interview.
Actually, you can hehehe . . but yes, I get your point.
"Rod Saboury’s 1963 Corvette is a street-legal car that exceeded 210 mph at a track in Ohio. (Baltimore Sun photo by Lloyd Fox / November 24, 2008)
Going from zero to 60 mph in one second will make people stop and stare, but Rod Saboury need not drive his 2,400-horsepower, twin-turbo-charged Corvette that fast to grab attention.}
It does sound great, but I'll have to wait until March, or, until I end up with a NTSC 360 so I can play the game . . .Would love to actually, as this is the sort of thing in games I enjoy, and the fact that there's no Multiplayer makes it even better - for me.
You SOny trolls are pathetic . . without even reading about what is being presented, you label things. How can history of a car be Bullshot . . Grab your GT5 (whenever it does come out - if ever) and go play with a make believe world when nothing is real.
We're discussing real cars, as well as cars being put into a game, just the same as anyone would and will when GT5 does come to fruition in March 2010. In short, grow up.
So many games almost force you to do such things now in order to move forward or achieve even the basic achievements that you would think would be common due to natural progression through a game.
I've lost all desire to go chasing rubbish now, not unless it is vital to the game in some form.
