Re: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
what the hell is wrong with these guys? 8 players in a racing game = fail.
if you want to create a simulater, one place to look at is the racing grid count! when have you ever watched a real race with 8 cars on the starting grid?
Is xbox live really that limited in terms of network code? Most xbox games have low player count whilst the PS3 can handle a large number of player count lag free!
im not making this thread into a 360 vs ps3 but its soo blatent that the xbox live network is rubbish when it comes to actual online MP.
I mean come on, why do most 360 games still use P2P????????
Guess i will stick with gtr evo and rfactor for a proper true racing experience online and hope and wait for GT5 to come out as i can at least expect 16 player racing just like GT5p.
terrible to have 8 players. gutted and a posisble deal breaker for me:thumbsdow:mad:
8 cars? ***? that si bloody terrible. that can be a deal breaker for me.

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
A complete guess but maybe the reason Xbox servers don't have player numbers as big as the PS3 is the fact you pay xbox a set subscription and they then set up the servers on behalf of the devs. Maybe they work it out so everyone gets treated the same with the same servers to avoid arguments. Why should game A get a better server with a higher player count than game B?
On the PS3 if someone wants to run a game online then they have to pay for their own servers and run them themselves. So if they want a 32 or 64 or in MAG's case 256 player server then it's up to them to pay the extra to keep it running.

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
Yea so whats wrong with devs hosting there own servers for games? i think they honesly cant do so on the xbox live network unless im mistaken? i have heard rumours that having your own server costs an arm and a leg because it has to be intergrated with xbox lives features correctly.
Still a shame that even now, most 360 games can only cater for a maximum of 16 players at most on fps games. Probably would never ever see a proper racing sim on a 360 or a proper battlefield game on the 360 too
such a shame as i was relaly looking forward to this game.

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
The rain thing is what annoys me, 8 racers per race is fine, you usually only have about 4-5 that are in any way decent anyway, the rest are either making up the numbers or busy playing bumper cars.
No active weather in the races is what will make it less of a sim rather than the car count. PGR4 had amazing weather effects and not only just visual either, so why cant Turn10 manage the same 3 years later?

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
Agreed, the effects in PGR4 are stunning and when I played it I'd think "at least Forza 3 will have weather effects like this".
I wonder if Gran Turismo will have weather though, I'm guessing it won't...?

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
JM's link says:
While the 8-car limit was something many gamers complained about, these missing features really put the new Forza title behind in their duel with Gran Turismo as GT5 has been confirmed to include all these features
But I've never read anything that to confirm that.

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
well someone high up the ranks in GT posted a rumour or some kind of hint about weather effects, 800 cars, full damage and clan support. the guy apparently works for PD and so couldnt actualy say GT5 has weather effects.
if it does have it along with full damage and a higher player count then i think GT5 will be better then this game.
Rally is definetly confirmed in GT5 though from E3. Because GT5 has no release date and no deadline, they can make GT5 alot better then forza 3. my only worry is that GT5 may not come out before forza 5

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
well one thing forza has over GT is designing(pointless feature imo and never bothered with it in forza 2, i JUST WANT TO RACE). in terms of raw gameplay and car tuning, their about the same imo

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
You've explained it pretty perfectly. The cars aren't tuned to be race cars, so when you try and turn a corner, it's like you can only turn the wheel 90 degrees one way or the other.
I always believed that was more realistic than Forza but when I started my driving lessons years ago, I came back, played GT for five minutes and thought "this is total rubbish".
Saying that, it's not like I've driven a racing car, and it's not like I didn't get bored of Forza's pitiful offering of tracks after a week. At least Prologue was SUPPOSED to be a cut-down version of the game...

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
How'd you figure that?
I'm not exactly a fan of the GT series anymore, after 2 it just wasn't the same, have you ever played GT2? It had as many if not more car tuning options than Forza 2 did. It was mental the tuning you could do in that game for that era, it was also surprisingly in the same vein as Forza 3, coming on two discs due to the content. GT2 was a quality game back in the day and Forza wouldn't have been the same without it. I remember spending hours tuning a 93 Civic Vtec to try and beat a mate of mine, ah those were the days when you had more time than sense.
The only thing Forza has over it was the custom paintjobs and more in depth after market aesthetic parts...
Nah, Forza is miles ahead, (no pun intended

Re: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
he figured that out because his a fanboy of course he is clearly biased towards this game. he doesn't have an open mind about racing sims and will assume that forza 3 will automatically be better than gt5.
like i said before, this guy is a true legend
