I will be . .. and having played the final code recntly, I can say what we see here is not really how it even looks in the flesh - so to speak.

When frames are captured from a film run, there is always detail in the background or foreground that is less than it would be when an image is captured from a 'still-posed' position, even if it is in-game.

That applies to all games, be it GT5, Forza 3 or whatever. Many seem toforget this when comparing stlls from games. As t...

When both games are played side by side, by YOU or others, then, and only then can anyone say which is better or worse.

Will you be buying both - probably not, but I will, not to see which one is best, but to experience the joys BOTH have to offer.

It does, doesn't it, I know the 330 P4 is sans a lot of detail, as they were bone-basic, drive by the seat of your pants types of racers, but it is lacking detail in the image, that's for sure. However, when you check the dash further down the list of images, closer to the very end . . the dash there is extremely detailed, as was the ones from the R1 series in the last Ferrari image bank a few days ago.

SO this one seems right out of character to all the other.

Of co...

The two major things with t Dates is that the Major players, sites and retailers break them regularly and do NOT get punished for it,

2) The smaller sites and retailers that do, get jumped on like no-mans-business, and threatened with law suits if they so much as think about breaking them.

It's about time publishers started to enforce the NDA's and Release agreements, all of which are legally binding btw, and started to call those who break them into account.

BS, have you played ODST, nope, didn't think so.

I'm NOT a Halo Fan as such, there, you heard it from an Xbox Fan, but ODST is unlike the earlier games - which i do not like all that much, But I was really impressed last Friday when I got my hands on final gold code in a closed door media showing and hands-on for co-op and single player.

Unless you've played the game, don't comment, no matter what the game might be.

I love it how ppl complain and make claims other things are better, and yet have not visited the site (any site).

You do realise that those "exact" images are on the site this story is on mate, you DID look - didn't you?

Not having a got at you perse mate, but it often pays to check out ALL 100 images on the site in this article . . . plus the other 290 Forza 3 images on the site as well.

If you can afford one, the Fantec Prosche 911 Turbo S is the best one, we have it featured on the site. and will have one up for grabs after Forza 3 launches in a livery design comp.

You can get it with full metal pedals which are adjustable, and they are available for PC/PS3 as well . . . definiately worth the investment mate.

when a company has millions tied up in promotions that require exact timimg, street dates are important.

Secondly, street dates allow the smaller retailer, who are often great ppl bt the way, a chance to compete equally with sales on a specific day.

When major stores break these dates, naturally many gamers will forgo their pre-orders at stores and try and get the game early, making sales in other stores suffer.

Without smaller retailers, we have no choice ...

Don't think the stores will hand the game out mate, it's their online side that broke the embargo, I'm wondering what is in store for the company, as I know MS had strict instructions sent out re just this issue . . ooopppssyy big time.

And we've also got all the vids at OXCGN mate, so why would I go there, we all get them from the same source, Turn 10 and MS.

If you've played the final code, then you'd have to agree, the vids and in-game screens just do not do the game justice - do they.

In-game off-screen vids and images simply can not show any game to its fullest, and this games on of those that a person needs to see it and play it in the flesh to appreciate the effort that has gone into it.

It's getting better and better each week. Imagine, even modeling the lug-nuts on the wheels and the sidewalls of the tyres, now that IS extreme details.

Check the interiors out and the textures on the wheels, damn fine stuff actually.

But the biggest part is the community, it's huge, and will explode when the game hits the tar . .

Actually mate, no wonder Sony fans give ppl like you a hard time. You certainly are NOT representing all Xbox supports when you carry on like that. The PS3 is a great machine, games on both platforms suit the users well.

We might not like the choices others make, but they have every right to make them, without being ragged on .. .

Yes, it's the Open Zone, but do you notice me doing the stuff some of you do . . .A little bit of respect gets respect.

Bubbles to you Jolly hehehe 10 points . . Vid looks impressive I must say, getting more and more keen on this as the weeks go on.

I can see this one will gobble up a significant wedge of my time when not working on the site . .

Like I said in the article, I was very worried about it when I heard and saw the changes, and almost did a scathing article on it as well. But decided to count to ten, then settle back and see what happens.

I hated Crackdown's style, which btw, has gone the other way in Crackdown 2, and gone for a realistic approach, funny that eh! so I was veryiffy about Borderlands, but that has all been put aside now that I've had a chance to spend about an hour in the Single Player, and have ...

Way too many actually, just like disc based games. Now if we all had $$ to burn, and 36 hours in a day, we might be able to play about half of them . . .

It is true, one many, not Rudd btw, but the State Attorney General for South Australia holds all the cards in this matter. He also holds the Veto vote which enables him to stop anything that he see fit to do so.

Each time the 6 other states and the federal members who make our laws make a date to make this a public debate and allow the public to have their say, he places his veto on the motion, which stops it in its tracks, and is postponed indefinitely.

The publishe...

Love it, couldn't agree more mate 11/10 for that little insight.

and I even get censored for using the word c.ockpit because it has "that" word as part of a word . . work that one out. so you can't call a planes c.cokpit a c.ockpit, you have to think up some other word that doesn't actually say - c.ockpit hehe.

the amount of work that goes into these games, to get just one car in any game is huge - you have seen the work that has gone in in those vids, haven't you, actually seen the detail and the amount of work put into each area.

Take a look at the Veyron vid on the site showing the immense work required to create just one HD wire-frame of one side of the car . .the efforts that go into making sure every detail is as close to perfect as possible . . .

Both PD and Turn 10...
