good score for what looks like a great game. Didnt like the demo that much but it was the same for me as forza 2, hated the demo, loved the game. Should tide my racing needs over until GT5

I loved the demo, I thought that graphics were GORGEOUS. It continues to support multiple screens too. I think i'm at least going to have to try it out on 3 screens this time. It has a new engine too and runs at a steady 60fps.

Can't wait!

is it 60fps in replays? Or are they 30fps ala Forza 2?

Hi Mike,

Long time. In game is 60fps, so I presume the replay would be too - however don't quote me on the replay part.

Oliver

Reason I ask is Forza 2 and GT5 Prologue both sported 30fps replays as they added a load of extra visual effects to spruce up the replay graphics at the expense of the frame rate... or was it visual effects were removed from in game, to maintain 60fps? :D Either way, it was a shame as it took something away from the replays. Even though the visuals were amazing.

Nice..great score

i'm at least going to have to try it out on 3 screens this time.

You have 3 monitors, 3 xboxes, and 3 copies of the game? Can I have some, if you're just giving money away.. :lol:

This is by far my most anticipated game this year. I have been waiting anxiously ever since this game was first announced. For those of you who remember Forza 2, the graphics were not only gorgeous, but also ran at a FLAWLESS 60fps in gameplay. It was literally liquid smooth and unlike anything i've seen in a racing game so far.

I've heard that Forza 3 will also be running at consistent 60fps, and that is amazing considering how much better the graphics are. The demo sucked, but I also agree that the demo for Forza 2 sucked.

I absolutely can't wait! I have even stopped playing a MMO in anticipation of this game as there will be no time to play a MMO when this game comes out. GT5 can remain vaporware for all I care as i'll finally have my Forza fix after all of these years anxiously awaiting FM3.

What I like best about the Forza series versus any other racing game out there, is how incredibly well they scale the difficulty levels for players of all skill levels. This game can be as easy or hard as you want. I hope they have plenty of Fords in this game as I havn't had a chance to look at the vehicles list yet.

Flawless 60fps in game... has anyone got an answer for replays yet? :D

Haven't bought a good true racing game in a while, I will probably bite on this one.

I am the same as I really cannot wait for Forza 3 to finally come out tomarrow. The crappy part is that I won't have time to play it till this weekend at the earliest. I really can't wait for a good racing game as Forza 2 came out a long time ago(spent nearly 300 hours playing it), and most of the old racing games series like the Need For Speed franchise have gone to serious crap. I will never touch another NFS game ever again as I have been repeatedly disappointed with every release after that NFS game that launched with the X360(forgot its name).

I kept getting suckered into buying NFS games after that one because I was a huge fan of the series, only to be hugely disappointed.

Fantastic game.

Utterly awesome. Demo does it no justice. Really fun.
