Looking forward to this one. I think I spent more time in the paint area than I did in the actual game.

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

First thing I noticed is the sense of speed. Very nice, even in the Mini.

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I been playing the demo in cockpit view with a wheel and using manual transmission and here are my thoughts.

The sense of speed is much better than forza 2 and the cars feel like they are on the track and do not have that floaty feeling that I felt the cars had in forza 2.

Game feels great with the MS Wheel

I wish Forza would add more racing elements that are true to real racing (amount of cars, flags rules, etc.) but even without that stuff I am getting this game just because the cars are so fun to drive especially from the cockpit view

Yeah, sense of speed is better and I agree the cars feel more attached to the tarmac. Cars also seem to be slightly heavier. Something I noticed with understeer situations is it's not easy to get through in Forza 3. In Forza 2 it was pretty easy to brake a bit, then accelerate to get through, not the case here, as I found out with the Mini and ended up hitting the guard rail. AI seems to be even more in-tune of where your are on track this time around. I like the clean UI. Graphics are nice step up with the environmental detail stealing the show. Reflections update at 60fps now. Replays are a lot better, but still not up to Gran Turismo's. I wish the demo had more content, but it was already a day 1 purchase.

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I bought the first Forza but got bored with it. I spent more time customizing my car than racing. I've had Forza 2 sitting at home for a while but I barely played it. The Forza 3 demo looks good and everything, but something about the game just doesn't pull me in. I'm more of a Burnout/NFS Shift type of dude. Sim racers don't seem as fun to me. I may end up buying it though, I'll have to play the demo some more.

There's more feedback with the MS wheel and the brakes aren't as sensitive without ABS.

B class and up was fun.
D and C were not.

Overall it's a lot better than the other 2 Forza games,those were just bad.
Probably not worth suffering through D & C classes to get to the fun stuff. We should probably be past this starting at the bottom stuff by now anyway. DiRT 2 did a good job of it. I know there's always gonna be new players so it's needed but can't it be like..."We've detected 15 racing games on your profile,would you like to start in class B?"

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Maybe it's just too much NFS Shift, or the fact that I'm like Pappy and growing tired of true sims, but the game bored me. Compared to Shift, the sense of speed and cockpit views aren't even close.

It's probably just me, but F3 is a pass for me now
