Haha, yeah, me too. I have to wonder, though - why is the Yaris included? it has not sporting pretensions whatsoever, as opposed to the Versa and Fit, which aim for a far higher level of driver involvment.

Cannot wait for this one. Slated for a October release, Aussie cars are almost certainly in the game, going by a past interview in which one of the producers mentioned them. Forza 2 was the better game than GT4 and the GT5 Prolugue game in the feel. Forza felt more of the sim where as GT kinda had that floating car feeling at times. They are both amazingly good looking games though. Forza 3 is my most wanted game atm.

...And someone told me to stop the fanboyism??? ITS STILL GOING ON!!! Let me put it this way...to each is own...some love Forza, some love GT...whatever happens happens...I for one apoligize for being so...so...brash about that post on the 1st page I made...and for that ...I'm sorry...

hey well, it was the racing video game genre and probably Gran Tourismo specifically that got the required support to bring the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO and Subaru WRX and STI to the U.S. market here. Unfortunately cool car in a video game isn't gonna do jack for the G8, or Pontiac, as the brand will be completely dead and the car only available used by the time the FM3 comes out. other cars in there might add a little cred to GM's image with maybe Corvettes and CTS-Vs in there... but that's dubius at best. if the blogosphere is any true indication, young consumer age Americans (say 20ish to 40ish) are raised and taught to hate "American" much like some other people in other regions of the world are raised from a young age to hate America

Sad that this may be the only place most people will get to drive a G8.

Thankfully Ive driven all the trims, the GXP is just killer.

So does this game have better more realistic graphics than GT5?

demonv8 · 07-19-2009, 05:28 AM

graphics look fantastic running at 1080p and 60fps. Until GT5 is released, Forza 3 will be the best racing game in the current generation of HD gaming.

Can't wait!!

Of course, the Yaris must be there to re-create the Nerd Herd-mobile from the series Chuck...
...at least that's what I would do... that and maybe see if they'll let me drop the Tundra's 5.7 V8 in there...

GRIMEYtheFATMAN · 08-24-2009, 03:19 AM

It's also nice to know that ALL of Forza3's 400+cars will feature damage and full interiors, as opposed to a few of GT5's 1,000 cars(largely carried over from GT4)...

GRIMEYtheFATMAN · 08-24-2009, 04:29 AM

I just hope one of the G8's aftermarket bumpers is a variation on the standard G8 bumper, as I prefer it's looks to the GXP's...
It'd also be sweet to have some Utes...

Pooh on you. Forza has proven time and time again that it has the most realistic simulation environment. GT is for poseurs who bench race. Haven't you seen the Top Gear episode where Jeremy Clarkson is over 4 seconds off his best time in the game?

Either way, Forza 0wnz. You're just jealous you don't have an XB360.

I still remember the screen before the intro on Forza1 giving the definition of 'simulation'...
