random i know but just wondered if anyone had anything like and what they thought of it?

i like it, takes a while to get into and alot of suspension set up to get the cars to handle how they should if you are using a controller, they are apparently very good if using a steering wheel. but yeah, the one thing that makes it for me.. the introduction of the ST205.. woohoo!!

i still lost to my brother in the quarter mile..

501bhp st205... 11.05seconds with wheelspin through 1st

veyron... 10.2 so he smashed me. :lol:

but a good game and graphics look superb on a good hdtv.

heres a few pics of a few cars that i have, sorry about pic quality, i took them on my phone looking at the tv as currently i dont have xbox live so cant upload


my A class 437bhp supra going up the quarter..

and my 501 bhp st205 going up the against a porsche
Image
Image
Image

my gtfour.... with not the best landing ever as you can see! :)
Image
Image

and this is ish.... what jo's car should look like when i finish spraying it
Image

just thought id take this one as the detail in replays is so much more than when playing, look at how good the dashboard is in the supra , the clocks the mile, everything.

I only got forza 3 on sunday and so far have only spent a couple of hours playing it. needless to say I like it! much better than i thought it was gonna be.

those audi diesel le-mans motors shift lol.

one of the first things i did was go to the toyota garage, and was pleasently surprised to see a nice 205 tucked away in there :D

Fantastic pics and details for sure in nowadays games like this is...
This said, i prefer put 20 euros of v-power in tank and driving my real st205... if it happens to have a free hour... instead of driving a virtual st205...
Yes, i'm old! :-D

hey all, its on the xbox 360 it is.

yeah i know what you mean wolf, i prefer driving my real car as opposed to the game! gotta love the GTFours! :D
but when i have a few hours free at night or before i do some work i might have a little go on the computer.. and bought me a new tv so got to make the most of it! :)

quite good fun though, the gauges all work, the boost gauge and what have you, speedo is a little rubbish... its a jap and only has 180kph on! haha

its always good to have a little mess about when i have time to burn.

Bought it on launch day as i was a big Forza2 fan, unfortunatly its badly let down by the poor multiplay they have implemented in this version...

Its the best out there at the moment but could and should have been much better.
A money man got envolved somewhere in the process so they bought the microsoft multiplay hopper system which is the biggest fail in the history of fails for a car racing game..

You used to be able to setup a public race that you tweaked the preferences with i.e. no traction control abs , car type , class, Hp now you just have to pick from a limited hopper and hope you dont get stuck with a dodgem driver or have to wait for 15mins for the race to end so you can join.

Hoping beyond hope they get the message and patch it somehow. Its the only thing everyone is complaining about on the official forums, but cant see it happening...

You can setup a private lobby and have full control but you can only invite friends in..

i agree with the multiplayer, but i beleive they have enabled the use of different classes?

it is a great game though, once you get into it it is very good fun and having the full proper le mans and doing 260mph down the straights at a full 60fps, it is fantastic game.

and when i only paid £29.99, it was a good price to pay!

a few minor things annoy me with it, like the lack of steering lock with the controller and to get full advantage of the game you need a steering wheel but its neither here nor there in the grand scheme, i ust alter the suspension set up and camber and alter the diff to change how the car sets for each track, like the japanese hill climbs i set the gt4 to 30/70 split, alter the camber and pump the rear tyres up and drop the fronts to get proper rear end action and with normal tracks switch it back to 50/50 or 40/60 splits.

a very good game if you give it a little time, and with 400+ cars, pretty much most cars you could need.

hopefully they add some more old school cars but its very good as it is, just needs a few additions as microsoft definately got them to release it earlier than it was intended.
