Headlines - Forza 3 confirmed with 100 tracks and 400 cars...really?

[HEXUS]

Forza 3 on its way, featuring 400 cars and 100 tracks? Is someone pulling our plonker?

Read more.

where does it say this side of christmas? the car amounts and track amounts (remembering as you rightly did that they count variations as separates) sound about right - but before christmas? cant see it happening but that would be amazing

[dave87]

47 variations, does that include forwards and backwards?

If not, there is your 100.

Who likes the idea of a collectors edition?

[MadduckUK]

there will be more tracks, its just impossible to say how many but expect to see a bunch of the old ones missed from forza 2 back - blue mountain, fujimi kaido, alpine ring were all requested as dlc constantly till turn10 confirmed there wouldn't be any more

I will be getting this, interested to see how the drift will work out though, point to point races will be nice aswell, just aslong as they dont include turbo buttons like in the NFS games

100 tracks is a bit of an exaggeration then?

Why 2 discs then? just for 100 extra cars?

Ouch, my bad. I'd read this somewhere, but it appears it's not mentioned in the 'official' marketing leak. Amended.

I'm sure a lot of the so-called "tracks" will be variations, but I'd still expect to see a healthy number of new tracks since Forza 2.

Other than the news about tracks, cars and collectors edition, what would you chaps like to see in the game?

I'd love to have a qualifying lap before tournament races. I'd like to see dynamic weather too, am I right in thinking Turn 10 acquired the PGR team? If so, surely PGR4's weather will be improved and implemented in Forza 3?

More cars in multiplayer would be nice, but I'm a little weary of it. They need to come up with a solution for, shall we say, unsporting drivers. No idea what can be done about that though, it's so hard to get people driving "properly".

I'd also love to see a 1.8 Honda Civic Type S in the game, it's what I drive so I'd love to be able to "do it up".

I get over-excited at the mere mention of the next Forza game.

well forza1 had point to point and it was really good. just like the circuit racing but.... point to point. it fitted the game great and was a strange omission from f2.

drift has the potential to screwup a lot of the game if they make your car automagically becomes "drifty" when your in that kind of race. if they keep the same level of realism across the whole game then it would only be a bit of a distraction and id be fine with that

yes

Other than the news about tracks, cars and collectors edition, what would you chaps like to see in the game?

as you say - dynamic weather, more players in multi, qualiying. but also more involved pitting, with tyre options, fuelling options etc. just copy gt4 basically as for the more cars = more chance of bad drivers - meh, put the option there and it will sort itself out, just because you could race in a room of 16 or something doesnt mean you have to. always the option to limit the room to 8 or whatever

I get over-excited at the mere mention of the next Forza game.

me too, my most anticipated game by a huuuge margin.

[finlay666]

I would love to get the top gear track as another track

[Parm]

Brands Hatch would be my nomination for a track, loved it in TOCA 2.

[j.o.s.h.1408]

we need yellow, blue and red flags to get rid of the stupid piss taking drivers and also the ability to kick a racer out of the race whilst racing

[MadduckUK]

you know that the AI would get the flags horribly wrong all the time

the in-game kick, while it could be abused should be there really.

looking through some pics of that Ferrari game (bland as hell) has made me REALLY want weather in f3. and DYNAMIC. dynamic being the important bit. it would add so many layers to the involvement its crazy. while just the option of rain, cloudy, sunny, would add very little.

[Parm]

I would LOVE to see real-time weather and lighting.

So, wherever you're racing, the weather would match real-life conditions. So, if its raining in London, it'll be raining on the London tracks. Same applies to time, if it's 3pm GMT, it'll be light, if it's 8pm GMT, it'll be getting dark and so on.

Sounds like a lot of hard work for nothing, but I think it'd be so cool!

[MadduckUK]

i think getting the dynamic weather system in there would be the biggie making it get its info from a server somewhere should be the easy bit
